Hundreds of years ago on the continent of Rodenius.
A nd inhabited by various races lived harmoniously. Suddenly, one day, the Elves changed and began their ambitious conquest of other races, contributing to the creation of the Keral Empire. They started attacking civilian areas on the continent of Rodenius, ensving other races, with humans being the most brutally treated. The people on the continent were deprived of their human rights and treated by the Elves no different than animals. Some of the Elves considered themselves a superior race and viewed humans as inferior to other races, unable to endure living under the feet of others. The first groups of people who stood up in resistance faced brutal suppression. However, these isoted uprisings had little impact on Keral, and all of them were executed with weapons and thrown into the arena, where they had to fight for the amusement of the Elves. The losers would be taken away to become food for the Elves or beasts, even if their bodies were not intact, while the winners had to fight until they colpsed.
Through this cruel method, the Keral Empire limited the resistance of humans on the continent. The uprising of humans erupted when an armed force of Sunvian humans rose in the southwest region of the continent of Rodenius. The Keral Empire was shocked and immediately deployed its army to eliminate the Sunvian people. At that moment, the Sunvian people took advantage of the situation, recruiting other humans and races to their cause with promises of a brighter future. When the time came, Keral forces unched a relentless attack, outnumbering the Sunvi several times over, forcing the fledgling Sunvian Kingdom to scatter across the region to avoid the Keral army's pursuit. Sunvian groups infiltrated and trained in vilges, conducting lightning raids on Keral military outposts to seize weapons distributed to the entire army. Equipped with captured weapons, Sunvian forces gradually gained the upper hand in direct confrontations with Keral, taking the enemy by surprise.
After several years of war, Sunvi discovered that the leaders of the Keral Empire were arrogant, despising, and conducted rge military marches to war-torn areas, taking advantage of this. Sunvian forces began to conduct guerril attacks, ambushing Keral forces and retreating from areas where Keral forces were marching, causing them to gradually disintegrate. With successive failures and the loss of important territories in the southwest, the Empire itself was in crisis as other species within its territory were rising and resisting. Faced with the risk of defeat, Keral began burning surrounding vilges and using sorcerers to spy on the enemy.
However, the situation remained unchanged until another race arrived. They called themselves the dragon-human race Eimor and began attacking all of Rodenius to turn it into a colony for easier use. They utilized holy dragons to overpower Keral, Sunvi, and other kingdoms before them. Under the rule of the dragons, humans and Elves began to reconcile with other races. Despite pnning to counterattack to recim territories, the opposing side had no chance to fight back due to the overwhelming numbers and powerful forces of the dragon-human race. One day, the dragons suddenly exploded in consecutive bases, supposedly powerful dragons lying dead. In the sky, rectangur shapes surrounded by giant iron insects appeared, annihiting anything that came close. The steel dragons also released circur objects that caused explosions, rising above the dragon's head. Some surviving Eimor dragons with terrifying breath breathed out beams of energy through square blocks, and those blocks exploded in the sky like fireworks. A few Eimor dragons, terrifying with their breath, roared, causing square-shaped beams to penetrate through the blocks, which then exploded in the sky like fireworks. The steel blocks left after defeating the Eimor people immediately left. However, the people of Rodenius could not shake off the awe of the power of a mysterious Empire called Ravernal, which defeated the mighty dragon-human race.
From then on, the people of Ravernal did not return, and peace was restored to Rodenius. The races began rebuilding their nations, and the races established the Kingdom of Louria, the Principality of Qua Toyne, the Kingdom of Qui, and other countries. Along with other nations, this was the beginning of the continent of Rodenius.
Kingdom of Louria, off the coast of the capital Jin-hark Louria, Joint Fleet
Turning to the image of the Louria personnel on the wooden ship, awe-struck by the swords gliding across the sea towards them. The sailors were terrified, and for the Louria representatives, this instilled fear in them. Then a sound emanated from one of the steel fortresses floating on the sea.
"Our navy will approach and pick up the representatives of your country on one of our ships. Both sides will remain calm and resolve this peacefully, avoiding conflict."
From these words, the sailors and the Louria representatives were impressed for the first time by a mysterious nation with steel fortresses treating them as equals, unlike those from civilizations 1 and 2. Nevertheless, it eased tension on the Louria side.
After a few minutes, high-speed boats from India approached the Louria representative ship. Of the 3 boats, one would welcome them, while the other two would serve as guards. Faced with these speedboats, the Louria people looked at them, seemingly smaller than their own ships. The ships of the countries in Rodenius were considered Viking ships capable of navigating in light sea areas. In areas with rge waves, they were almost powerless.
The occupants of the first boat approached theirs. They were dressed strangely and wore peculiar masks. Holding sticks in their hands, they began boarding the ship. Louria soldiers stood still in a combat-ready posture. Then, a bck-cd soldier among them took out something strange and pressed on it with his hand.
"The Indian side instructs us to invite the Louria ambassadors onto the boat."
Surprising Maus and a few others, among the nobility, they would be taught Elysian for diplomacy. Of course, they understood what the device had just emitted, but with an unusual female tone. Maus responded, "Do you want us to board that boat?"
The Indian soldiers seemed not to understand them but still gestured to invite them. The Louria Ambassadors looked at each other and began boarding the boat with two guards. The Indian soldiers made them sit in the boat, performing some actions while sitting on the seats. During this action, they spoke a strange nguage, and suddenly, the boat rushed forward like an arrow, along with the other two straight towards the giant ship.
Feeling the sensation of gliding on the waves for the first time, all three ambassadors revealed expressions of amazement. Something that Parpaldia battleships might not catch up with, it moved like a killer whale and was even superior. Meanwhile, they were heading towards INS Vikramaditya.
In less than a few minutes, the boat docked. When they got closer, they realized how truly massive this ship was. Essen thought to himself that it could hold an entire vilge on its back. Upon entering, they saw alien technology that Louria had never seen, such as fluorescent lights that astonished the ambassadors. As they walked further into the ship, they encountered people wearing strange fashion. Out of curiosity, Essen immediately asked the Jewish person, "What is the outfit you are wearing? It looks very sophisticated and extraordinarily beautiful."
He replied, "Oh, it's called a suit, a luxurious outfit we usually wear for politically-reted meetings." Essen was thrilled to hear this, looking around; the room had unusual devices with people wearing something and pointing the bck thing at them, and some people in vests. They didn't resemble the dark-skinned people; they seemed whiter and had faces different from theirs.
The interpreter said, "Please have a seat, Louria representatives, on these chairs." And those people pulled out chairs ready for them to sit down. When all three sat down, Maus in the middle, Lehrer on the right, and Essen on the left, the interpreter said, "Do you see the earpieces on the table? Please pick them up and wear them like this, can you?"
Suddenly, "Honored to meet you, Louria Ambassadors. I am a diplomat of the Republic of India." All three were surprised, understanding what the man was saying. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jaishankar. The two diplomats sitting on my left are Trong Khanh of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, and on my right is Fan Song of the People's Republic of China. And we represent the United Nations, with China as a permanent member." Not waiting for the other side to ask, Prime Minister Maus replied, "Very honored to meet you. I am the Prime Minister of Louria, conveying the will of the king. On the right is the young diplomat Lehrer, and on the left is the economist Essen. Both are talented individuals that Louria is fortunate to have."
On the opposing side, a nod signaled the commencement as they unfolded the handheld document. "Today, we are here to forge diplomatic ties with you. The categories within our diplomatic discourse will encompass economic exchange, education, healthcare, diplomacy, and culture." To provide Louria with an understanding of their rhetoric, the UN representative promptly interjected, "We are eagerly interested in learning about the economic products of your nation."
Essen gnced at the document and turned towards the UN side, stating, "Our primary exports for international trade include rice, seafood, and timber." Upon hearing this, the UN responded, "It's good to hear that. In India, our key sectors are agriculture, handicrafts, textiles, manufacturing, and numerous service industries as the backbone of our nation." Following that, China spoke, "The People's Republic of China takes pride in exporting phones, computers, integrated circuits, automobiles, and goods." Next was Vietnam, "For Vietnam, our major exports include phones, mobile phones, their components, and textiles."
The Lourian delegation struggled to comprehend, having never encountered the mobile devices and intricacies of 21st-century technology. Maus turned to pose another question, "What is the historical formation process of your nation?" At this juncture, China generously elucidated, dimming the room abruptly, and then unveiling a white fabric onto which an image appeared. The Lourian ambassadors excimed in surprise, "What kind of sorcery is this!?"
Dispyed were visuals depicting the history of humankind, from humble beginnings slowly progressing through the medieval era. The Louria delegation marveled as the figures resembled those from the nations of Rodenius. Subsequent images showcased the Renaissance and Enlightenment periods, illustrating the advancement of humanity throughout history. The figure of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, appeared, delivering the Gettyburg Address. The Lourian ambassadors saw the silhouette of Parpaldia with fireworks during Napoleon's battles, the American Civil War, and simir architectural structures.
This transitioned to images of imperial empires subduing what they considered inferior nations, including India, China, and Vietnam, rge steel ships crossing the oceans. The next image was of someone with a peculiar beard standing in front of a vast square, decring war across the continent, with a blood-red fg, and inside a white circle, some strange symbol on it. Subsequently, the image of a vibrant red Europe appeared, with the red fg flying over the Eiffel Tower.
Following this were a series of images from two world wars, trains advancing on beaches, a crowd pouring out before flying arrows, glorious naval battles of former empires, iron birds filling the skies, machines tearing through battlefields on the ground, and the final image of an explosion obliterating an entire city. The next transition was a decration by Ho Chi Minh, chosen by India to be included in the video.
"All men are created equal. They are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness," quoted from the timeless decration of the United States in 1776. It indirectly fueled the development of anti-colonial movements worldwide, where those who considered themselves superior were successively chased away by ordinary people.
The Lourian ambassadors were shocked and terrified by these images, and also moved. Subsequently, the world entered the Cold War with the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union. The subsequent scene took a positive turn as they witnessed the achievements of Earth's humanity, with an image of a rocket soaring into the sky, unching a satellite, and then an arrow flying into the sky, the image of astronauts stepping onto the surface of the moon, followed by the Earth. Louria noticed the fg worn by the person in white; they recognized it when scouts reported to the kingdom about the description of the fg belonging to the United States of the United Chorus. Louria was amazed to see the appearance of the pnet of these people and the superior technological power that pushed them beyond the boundaries where the spirit resides. In addition, they saw beyond space, dark and deep, giving them a chilling feeling contrary to the scene they imagined of a fairynd.
Next, they saw images of cities emerging like mushrooms, such as Hanoi, Tokyo, Singapore, Seoul, New York, and many more. Box-shaped buildings pierced through the clouds with cars running below, emitting light at night, truly magnificent, reminiscent of the cities of the Parpaldia Empire. The next scene was images of the traditional culture of countries such as China, India, Japan, Saudi Arabia, etc. The Lourians saw the diversity of Earth's cultures, unlike Rodenius, where countries had almost identical cultures and architectures on the continent. This made the Louria ambassadors quite envious.
Maus responded with a surprised tone, "Impressive! You have things that we could never achieve! After watching those magical images, we want to cooperate with you." Then, the Indian ambassador replied, "If possible, we would like to see goodwill from you in today's diplomatic establishment."
Maus, bewildered, asked, "So, what is it, Ambassador Jaishankar?" India then id out conditions for cooperation and an opportunity to join the United Nations. After delivering the terms to Louria, the Vietnamese diplomat responded, "These conditions reflect goodwill and include provisions on technology, military, economy, and politics."
As Maus flipped to the first page, the initial conditions highlighted Louria's peaceful intentions with the United Nations. Any hostile actions or threats to the organization would be met with proportional responses, possibly economic sanctions. This would determine Louria's access to technology and foreign investment. However, this condition would restrain Louria's instincts.
The following pages outlined conditions for trade, economics, and dealings with other nations. The complexity of it led Lehrer and Essen to sigh, spending hours to read through the UN's stiputions. Maus turned to his colleagues, and, finally, he made a decision, "Regarding these conditions, they are excessively convoluted!" Maus excimed.
For nations in Elysia, favorable policies presented by major countries often made others hesitant. Notably, Louria was bound to Parpaldia, sacrificing economic sovereignty for technology, a decision made by the king against the objections of his council. For Louria, cooperating with Earthlings seemed highly beneficial, and Maus contempted abandoning the alliance with Parpaldia to seize opportunities with Earth.
Before he could eborate, the United Nations asked, "Tell us more about the history between Qua Toyne, Qui, and your country?" Faced with this, Maus and the ambassadors' expressions changed. As the United Nations (China, India, Vietnam) prepared to ask another question, Essen interrupted, "This is quite complicated. If you're not familiar with our history, it can be summarized as follows."
The United Nations eagerly anticipated Essen's narrative. He took a deep breath and spoke, "Qua Toyne was established at the time of Louria's birth. Initially, we had a good retionship until Qua Toyne attacked and occupied cities near their border. Louria was weak then, facing a formidable force consisting of Elves and robust creatures. After a period, the kings attempted to mend retions, but Qua Toyne began sending impostors as traders who ensved our people under the guise of rescue, with support from Qui. Since then, our kings viewed Qua Toyne and Qui as enemies, striving to recim lost territories. The story, in brief, is as such..."
After hearing the beginning of the tale, the United Nations ambassadors were conflicted about putting trust in any country on the continent of Rodenius. However, they agreed that future actions would reveal the true nature of those nations. The Indian ambassador expressed regret about the story, "It seems your nation has faced many obstacles in the past. I hope both sides will have a good retionship in the not-too-distant future." Despite the UN expressing gratitude, the Lourian ambassadors still felt uncomfortable.
Putting this aside, they moved on to the section on economic cooperation. The Chinese ambassador was quite generous, willing to cooperate with Louria to establish infrastructure, including buildings, transportation, and more. The ambassadors expressed deep gratitude for China's generosity, and Louria pnned to borrow a significant amount from the World Bank to accelerate integration into the Earth's economy. As long as they avoided foolish actions, Earthlings would not take action against them.
Although the United Nations had restrictions on the flow of technology outside less civilized regions, colboration would indirectly help Louria gain access to it. In terms of education, Earth nations pnned to cooperate to improve Lourian education systems, raising the level of Lourians to compete in Earth's society and civilization.
Regarding military matters, Louria could not immediately access them. However, there was a possibility of being provided with weapons for infantry soldiers, such as rifles or handguns, to protect VIPs, along with training for that purpose.
The diplomatic mission concluded well, with the United Nations gaining an additional observer for the day. Louria was predicted to undergo a complete transformation in 20 years, but it was too early as they just signed with the United Nations. The Lourian ambassadors were excited about the outcome of this trip before their departure. The Vietnamese ambassador approached them, cautioning, "Be wary of those Chinese, Lourian."
World calendar on June 2, 2023, the Casabnca drilling rig offshore in the Northwest region, under the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Morocco.
In the serene azure waters, two multi-role frigates named Mohammed VI, V, built by France for the Kingdom of Morocco, are conducting a blockade operation against a massive warship off the coast near their notified drilling rig. The warship is believed to be an armored battleship approximately 150km northwest of the drilling rig. Inside the command compartment of the Mohammed V, Captain Mohamed Benani is overseeing the operation.
"That's the Holy Mirishial, unless we're mistaken. The fg resembles an octopus. Alright, let's attempt to contact them if it's genuinely effective."
Technicians work diligently, but they fail to establish communication with the unidentified ship. One of the technicians speaks up, "Captain, we cannot establish contact with them. It could be that they haven't set it up or, more likely, they don't share a common technology framework with us."
Benani responds, "Then use lights to communicate." They initiate light signals. Unsurprisingly, there is no response from the other side. One of the crew members remarks, "It seems they don't understand our signals. They may ck knowledge of our usual communication methods."
Being outside the firing range of the armored battleship, they consider the option of sinking the ship. However, sinking it would have adverse effects on the newly emerging world. Benani replies, "So be it. We have no choice but to communicate directly with them. At this moment, we must find the most expedient solution."
The Mithril-css battleship, proudly one of the most formidable battleships globally, is renowned for its rapid ammunition repcement and firing range, causing nations to be wary and avoid angering Holy Mirishial. Deployed in the Zeroth fleet, these battleships are the epitome of naval power.
Inside the command compartment are the elite officers of the Divine Empire of Mirishial, led by Admiral Humes, peering through binocurs at two unidentified ships flying a fg with a green star on a red background. With a stern face, Humes remarks, "Gray ships daring to viote Mirishial's waters. We only know Mu as a nation with a fleet of steel ships, but these individuals possess them?! They've even established a massive base at sea. Who are they? We need air force units to investigate."
And Humes gnces at the officers with steely eyes. Personnel in the command compartment respond, "Certainly, Admiral. We will commence the deployment of Elpacio-3 fighters to the designated position."
After a few minutes, two Elpacio-3 fighters from Squadron 7 depart from the Cartalpas airbase, reaching the confrontation at a maximum speed of 650 kph, a pride of the Mirishial aviation industry. They approach the two Moroccan warships at an altitude of 10,000 feet. Pilots with the codenames ECAB-1 and ECAB-2 begin analyzing the situation.
"No signs of enemy aircraft on radar, skies are clear, over." The Elpacio radar covers an extensive range of about 30km. Additionally, Elpacio-3 is equipped with two 20mm machine guns at the front.
"The enemy consists of two warships and a fortress offshore. Commencing approach maneuvers, over." The Mirishial pilot speaks coldly.
Mithril begins moving towards the drilling rig. This action poses a threat to the rig workers; if the battleship gets close enough, they may be casualties. The Moroccan warships Mohammed VI and V find themselves in a difficult situation.
Mohammed has identified two jet fighters long ago, and their anti-aircraft weapons are ready. The crew members on the frigates rey information like a well-coordinated orchestra. "Enemy ship moving at 24 knots. Missiles locked on target, awaiting permission to engage, over."
Benani orders, "All ships, execute evasive maneuvers, deploy LRAD, and warn the enemy forces in their native nguage!" He is tense as he sees the battleship approaching.
"Unidentified vessel, this is Mohammed V, the naval ship of the Kingdom of Morocco. You are entering a restricted area. Please identify yourself, state your intentions clearly, and alter your course to avoid potential risks. Non-compliance may lead to immediate defensive actions. We are monitoring VHF channel 14 for your response."
Nevertheless, the battleship doesn't stop and begins advancing toward the drilling rig to the firing range of its naval guns. Meanwhile, ECAB-1 and ECAB-2 are puzzled as they circle above the two frigates. "Are they deaf or what? They should know they are in our sovereign waters!"
Suddenly, two circur blips appear on the radar, advancing from the southeast. Pilots ECAB-1 and ECAB-2, skeptical, recognize them approaching at Mach 2. The two pilots excim in panic, "They... they're too fast!! We can't get a lock on them! Over!"
Although Holy Mirishial has reached a level of near-cold war conflict, they ck breakthrough weapons like guided missiles. Humes expresses disappointment, "ECAB-1 and ECAB-2, assume combat readiness. Don't let them sweep our skies clean while our Mithril deals with that fleet and offshore base."
However, the two pilots, without papers, wear uncomfortable expressions when judged by Humes. "Understood, over."
They then fly past them, causing the two Elpacio-3s to swerve and avoid. They are two F-16D Fighting Falcons, equipped with 4x AIM-9 Sidewinder and 2x AGM-84 Harpoon, turning back towards the Elpacio-3. The Elpacio-3 pilots perform evasive maneuvers. As the pnes pass, ECAB-1 catches a glimpse inside the F-16D. The enemy aircraft maneuvers excellently, capable of making sharp turns within seconds, something Elpacio struggles to match.
ECAB-1 shouts, "Spread out! Begin pursuit of those targets." The two pnes break formation simultaneously, accelerating towards the two F-16s. Seeing Elpacio-3 in pursuit, the F-16s increase speed and climb towards the clouds, followed by the two Elpacio-3s.
Voooooooo x2
Despite their efforts, at nearly Mach 2 speed, Elpacio-3 can't catch up. They are helpless, not seeing any Moroccan pnes. ECAB-2 grumbles, "We've lost them, ECAB-1!"
ECAB-1 responds, "With that absurd speed, we need a miracle to stand a chance against those monsters! Let's ret—"
ECAB-1 feels an unfamiliar sound from behind. Looking back, ECAB-1 is surprised when two F-16s somehow circled behind Elpacio-3 without their knowledge. Then, one F-16 somehow connected to Elpacio-3's frequency. They speak in broken Elysian, "Unidentified aircraft, you have not complied with our warnings. This is your st chance to withdraw before being incinerated in the sky. End."
"Darn... we have no way to retaliate against them..." ECAB-1 ments. ECAB-2 retorts fiercely, "Retaliate? They're maneuvering like crazy! We have no chance of shooting them down! We might be dead if they open fire!" Faced with a dire situation, ECAB-1 and ECAB-2 are forced to make the decision to retreat. The pilots look back at the F-16D, their first encounter with a superior opponent from their own nation. "Mission failed, we're returning to base, Admiral Humes, over."
The two pilots mockingly ugh, "Let the old man handle the remaining issues, shall we? We're out."
The two Elpacios expend no ammunition and gracefully veer left, heading straight for the base, leaving Mithril adrift at sea in front of the enemy. Faced with this situation, Humes is infuriated, "You guys are utterly useless, caught at their tails with no solution! If only we had entire squadron here, we'd have wiped them out by now!" causing the officers on the ship to startle and fear.
Observing the ship for a while, the personnel on the observation deck of the Mohammed suddenly see someone waving on it. "Admiral, they seem to have had no hostile intentions from the start until now." Temporarily setting aside his anger, Humes speaks up, "Continue advancing, bring their ships and floating base into range... Mithril will not stop until there is no one left setting foot in this sea!"
