June 26th, 1938. Port City of Maputo, Kingdom of Zambesi.
The waters surrounding the Port City of Maputo rippled as the massive shadow of the Valorian Navy's Expeditionary Fleet came into view. Ships as far as the eye could see, stretching across the horizon, filled the bay like a steel armada. Towering aircraft carriers and battleships, sleek destroyers, and the massive amphibious assault ship anchored closer to shore, casting an imposing silhouette over the city's skyline.
The people of Maputo gathered at the waterfront, watching in awe as the fleet positioned itself. Cheers erupted from the crowd. These were not enemies; they were the much-anticipated saviors who would protect them from the looming threat of the Matalebe forces.
