"Are all systems fully checked?" Yelena asked towards her second in command, she stood over the bridge of her ship surveying the last preperation after weeks of planning, Ursus had completely fallen with the remnants of its government having been captured or ran away from the country after they notice that the commonwealth had become more aggressive in their attack.

It didn't took long before any resistance was destroyed by their army, fleets had been scattered across the new territory as the borders were being opened once more after a decade of isolation, Yan and Higashi were the first to sent envoy to the Commonwealth and made some trade deals and negotiations that wasn't a problem by the council or the Archon.

Reports of other nations was also noted with some having sinister goals in mind when they tried to enter the commonwealth, unfortunately for them none of their actions were left unnoticed as they were swiftly killed, before any harm could be done, the archon had launch an aggressive expansion towards the west which saw neighboring countries were sent reeling back or desperately sent peace negotiations to avoid total destruction.

The threat imposed to them was suffice enough to make the other nations to think first before trying to stretch their hands to the Commonwealth territory, already large fortress cities were being deployed to the borders to further deter their numbers from messing with them, the commonwealth military prowess was once again showcase to the world and it had signaled the arrival of a new superpower in Terra.

The northern seas were already being colonized rapidly as underground cities and citadels were being erected, strip mining resource to further fuel the commonwealth industrial war machine and construction of other megaprojects, such as the large naval port that will be used to launch massive scale colonization of space, piercing the false sky was an easy matter for the Archon.

The threats that lies beyond the planet were easily wiped or used as resources, such was the will of their Archon there is no mercy amongst the stars, only war and the endless hunger of expansion to blot every light that shines through the cosmos, but only few knew of this fact and it would remain that way till the end of time, when even death itself will die, the truth shall forever be shrouded.

"Yes, general all of the crew had double check everything, so were set and ready to go, we only await your order for our departure to Kazdel." Yelena nod with at least a satisfied expression as she view the holo-screen displayed on the table infront of her, showing a accurate 3rd imagery of the continent and their locations, on harbor located south-east of the Commonwealth lands.

Kazdel was right below them, located at the center of the known world where a giant tree is found at the center of the nation, she had heard many tales and legends about the tree and how it came to be, though none were sure which is accurate due to how chaotic the era of the dark age where after the shattering, all she knew was it had some relations to the Archon sibling based on what the upper echelon had learned or known.

It was no secret as to the true nature of the Archon, an alien entity hailing from far beyond their world, though it was only half of the story as those of the highest authority in the commonwealth knew him as a divine entity from a higher dimension sent by his progenitor aka father who none of them knows about the Archon's father, all they know that he is inactive for the moment but is likely to arrive someday.

"Let's just wait for another half and hour, lady Alina is still taking sometime to prepare before we head to Kazdel for the meeting, speaking of her lady where is she now and what's her status, Helen?" Yelena asked as she tilted her head to look at her second in command named Helen, the other woman replied as the table screen shifts to show Alina conversing with the Archon's wife, Talulah through a holo-screen her own.
