Another Worldly Summons

Chapter 29: Unwanted Trouble

Central calendar Year 1640, 12th of March
Holy Milishial Empire, Imperial Capital Runepolis

Runepolis Imperial City is the capital of Holy Milishial Empire which located in the Northwest of the Holy Milishial Empire. It is considered as the largest and most developed city in the world, the place where all the world's elite converge. The city itself nicknamed as "Sleepless Magical City" due to the widespread use of electricity that illuminates day and night in the city.

Inside the Albion castle where the emperor resides, multiple figures are having tense atmosphere.

"So you're telling me some barbarians brought harm to my people? Our beloved people of Holy Milishial Empire? Agra who dares to do that?..." With a fearsome and dignified tone, the people inside the room shrunken in fear. He is seated on the highest position in the Holy Milishial Empire, an old man with white long hair and long beard which is the current reigning emperor, Milishial VIII.

"Your Excellency, it is the from the east, south of Philades, the ASEAN." Agra, the head of ministry of national defense of HME answers the question.

"ASEAN? The one's who defeated the bio weapon of ancient sorcerous empire"

"Yes Your Excellency. The country that supposedly have many similarities with the ancient sorcerous empire."

"Are those confirmed?"

"Yes, the attackers of Esthirant are none other than the ASEAN Your Excellency. They deliberately launched magical attack that would gave some sorts of intense hearing pain and it's subsequently hearing problems."

"So these are nothing but runaway barbarians?"

"I assumed that would be the case so if we ever set foot in third civilization I would like to suggest a gunboat diplomacy to let those barbarians know their place." Unbeknownst to the Milishial's this will be a bad move. Any way the talks goes on as the emperor ask for further clarification.

"The ASEAN is a emerging country was it said from the reports right? Then how could they possess such sophisticated armaments for a short span of time?"

"We are still verifying but we can't really pinpoint what is the truth... there's too many variables to consider and none of them applies to ASEAN virtually it's like they popped out of nowhere as if they don't belong to this world" While before Mu and ASEAN officially established diplomatic ties, the Muish operatives gathered enough information to understand how dangerous and mysterious this country is, and deducted the possibility of them--a transfer country.

"Too many mystery huh? You have my permission on conducting the gunboat diplomacy against ASEAN, send the zeroth and first fleet to warn them if they do that in Esthirant ever again, they will know the weight of taken a wrath of the world's most powerful country then extract our citizens out of Esthirant."

"Wait Your Excellency." Another person immediately cut in. It was Liage the foreign affairs supervisor of HME. Milishial VIII directed his gaze of Liage then muttered "What it is Liage?"

"I would like to avoid any possible armed confrontation towards ASEAN, Your Excellency"

"Tell me the reason...make it satisfactory considering those barbarians hurts my people "

"Yes of course, the reason is once the war in Philades ends, a superpower will likely gonna fall and we need a replacement which the ASEAN is one of the best candidate considering they shove the forces of parpaldia multiple times and we have yet to hear any major casualties on their side" The Emperor's nodded in understanding and questions back "So the total picture is?"

"There's almost no difference in the proposal of Sir Agra other than we will have to be prudent with them in a justification of a war is happening nearby so we are unfortunately forced to bring a fleet to protect our dignitaries which the one's who will invite them in eleven country conference. An international stunt, Your Excellency. of course we won't let them scott free just because we will gonna invite them to be on the ranks of superpowers..." Liage opened a bundled paper. Then gave it to the emperor "This is..."
