Chapter 31: Reckoning

Central calendar year 1640, 24th of March
Parpaldian Imperial Capital Esthirant

In the cold night, inside the Esthirant Imperial palace, several Parpaldian high ranking officials are could be seen restless and tired. Currently they held an emergency meeting in midnight due to the threat of ASEAN. The main reason is because of the withdrawal of Holy Milishial's Fleet on morning which originally present here in Esthirant to delay the war at the same time to evacuate their citizens. Another thing that sounds alarming is the unexpected resumed offensive of ASEAN which too early in their estimation as they thought they will stay still until last ships of Milishial left the parpaldia for good but yesterday they just obliterated 2 army camps near at duro with another happened a few hours ago, a surgical airstrikes on a large supply convoy inbound to the coastal city of acolyte and due to this they are in panicked state.

The atmosphere of the place was drowning of helplessness, too much of despair permeating on the air.

Imperial advisor Lupasa speaks up on this kind of situation they've facing. "We've been in such hopeless battle before but now with the help of Holy Milishial Empire things now have changed."

Due to inferiority against the ASEAN, the parpaldia was forced to be on defensive despite being hailed as a superpower of this world. However now things are much more different due to Milishial's intervention as they promised to delay the possible invasion of ASEAN towards their imperial capital a while longer which they've been fullfilled thus putting the ASEAN attacks on bay for a moment and the much needed armaments to compete with the ASEAN--with those advance weapons they might able to repel the ASEAN or perhaps outright defeat them, they thought.

"Sir Motreal." Then Lupasa called a tall man with flashy beard. He is Motreal, a milishial military attache sent to support the war of parpaldian against the ASEAN. "Your Grace, Emperor Ludius, I hereby introduce myself, Motreal at your service."

Ludius nodded on his introduction. Then shifted his gaze towards Lupasa then as if understanding what he meant he immediately calls out "Supreme commander Arde."

"Aye!"

"What is the current status of our reorganizations?."

"It's doing great however there's some troubles due to sudden shift in doctrines like organizing some 10 to 20 man stragglers after we broke our standard procedure of volley fire but I could say we are splendidly doing it right."

"I see, Lady Remille, I presumed that you already completed the task that the Emperor given to you?."

"Of course. Who do you think I am?" While Remille uttered those pridefully but she is in fact trembling Inside. She bare witness on one of a heck of a show of might which ASEAN displayed after about 40 aircrafts only( a number that could be considered as piecemeal to them) which just brazenly attacked their imperial capital and then shoot down as many as 350 wyverns as if they are nothing but flies to be swatted down. Then that very same day their proud imperial first fleet was slaughtered mercilessly within just a matter of minutes and the nightmare didn't just end there, the ASEAN fleet destroyed their naval bases and installations then sortied several insects like machine that swarmed the capital which destroying everything one after another with unrivaled firepower they've seen for the first time in their lives.

"As expected of My Lady. So next is, how's the plan going minister of agriculture?."

"Everything have been already ironed on place as long as the ASEAN don't attack those I could guaranteed it could last for a month if not enough we could procure along the way."

"If that's the case we will moving on the morning then."

At the same time, 240 kilometers South of Esthirant.
