**Conquest of Mu Continent** is a series of invasion attempts of the Gra Valkas Empire to conquer the countries in the Mu continent, the Second Civilization Area.

## Background

In their old world, the Gra Valkas Empire enjoyed the status of the most powerful country on the planet of Yggdra. Back there, one of the oldest countries in the world, the Kain Divine Kingdom, which worshiped the god Ashir, divided the world in two and waged war against the Gra Valkas Empire. No one doubted that Gra Valkas would emerge victorious, though. Compared to any other country, they had abundant resources, overwhelming production capabilities, the most advanced technology, and superior military strength.

When their entire Gra Valkas’ mainland had transported to another world, the Gra Valkas Empire found itself in the New World as an uncivilized country outside the west of the Second Civilization Area in the Mu Continent. They fell into chaos for a short time. However, they lost huge land, because they had recalled most of their forces to prepare to invade their enemies before the transfer. The empire still retained the vast majority of their military.

When they explored the east of the Mu continent, they found plenty of lands populated only by natives with laughably poor equipment. In light of their unbeatable superiority, everyone in the empire overcame with delight. At first, the neighboring countries were all aggressive towards them, but they were far too weak and quickly fell under imperial control. But then, while dealing with all minor countries, they discovered that this world had so-called “civilized areas” where stronger countries cooperated. Since they had no idea how powerful these countries were in this completely unknown world, everyone advocated a careful approach where they tried to negotiate peacefully international relationships with the neighboring countries. However, they went country after country, and despite the civilized countries treating them like uncouth barbarians and insulting them much weaker outside the civilized areas. The empire's efforts at diplomacy simply never moved forward. After this incident, no one in the Gra Valkas Empire advocated for peaceful interactions in this world any longer. They would rule with force and aggressively expand their territory.

Before preparing to conquest the world, the Gra Valkas Empire first decided to send their spies to the countries over the New World, investigating for an analysis of every country's military capabilities and technology levels if they were uncivilized barbarians or a superpower.

Emperor Gralux had his dream to conquer and dominate a whole world in the New World.

## Diplomatic Negotiation Failure

### Lèse-majesté in Paganda

First on the list for diplomatic negotiation was the Paganda Kingdom, which committed the act of lèse-majesté by murdering chief negotiator Hilas, a member of the imperial family. With one successful assault, the Paganda Kingdom quickly fell and was assimilated into Gra Valkas Empire.

## Second Civilization Invasion

### Naval Battle of Leifor

After failing diplomatic negotiation in the Paganda Kingdom, the Gra Valkas Empire declared war on the Second Civilization and took on Leifor, one of the five superpowers of the world. A single super-dreadnought battleship *Grade Atlastar* annihilated the Leifor fleet into submission in the 350km west sea off the coast of Leifor.

### Gra Valkas Invasion of Irnetia

Next year and a half later, the Gra Valkas Empire demanded colonization of the Irnetia Kingdom, an island situated west of the Leifor sector. Later, they invaded the Irnetia Kingdom and annihilated the Irnetia Royal fleet and Western Vassal Army.

## Aftermath

### Vassal States

After the Gra Valkas Empire annexed Leifor as a colony, emigration and settlement into Leifor had already begun. The Gra Valkas Empire built an integrated Army and Navy command base Lars Filmyna in Leifora for the purpose of continental invasions and integration of Mu continent. The naval port had upgraded to dock large warships in large numbers. Also, they built the Gra Valkas imperial-styled buildings and factories.

After occupying the Irnetia Kingdom, the Gra Valkas Empire continued to invade country after country, along with the rest of the international community, joined together to state condemnation. The Hinomawari Kingdom was too weak to oppose the Gra Valkas Empire and surrendered to them. The Gra Valkas Empire built the installations of the army and the Subjugation Authority next to the Hinomawari’s important buildings in Harunagakyō. The Subjugation Authority building acted as their army’s command center. However, the fact that surrendering would enable the royal family to negotiate with the Gra Valkas Empire was not enslaving the people of Hinomawari and making sure the people would not starve. Despite signing the formal treaty, the Gra Valkas imperial soldiers never honored it, committing tons of atrocities on the Hinomawari people ranging from rape, public execution randomly, and looting.

After the Battle of the Folk Strait during the New World in Crisis, the Sonal Kingdom also considered surrendering to the Gra Valkas Empire in order not to sacrifice the people without a fight.

### New World in Crisis

Later, the Holy Milishial Empire sent an exploratory delegation to Gra Valkas Empire in Leifor and negotiated diplomatic with them for inviting them to the eleven country leadership conference. Gra Valkas Empire's diplomat Dallas and the government accepted it, but they had a secret plan to invade and subjugate the Second Civilization Area and Central World.

Next year later, after completing the comprehensive analysis of the Holy Milishial Empire's and Japan’s military capabilities, the Information Bureau believed both were less than surpassing the Gra Valkas Empire, agreeing to nothing fear from them. No one in the New World could stop their conquest. Emperor Gralux confirmed with supreme commander Caesar and general Mirkenses to completely ready all preparations to establish a new world order. At the Eleven Country Leadership Conference, ambassador Cielia Oudwin declared war on its member nations and along with the Gra Valkas Imperial Navy Eastern Fleet, annihilated the Holy Milishial Empire's Zeroth Magic Fleet in Magdola, which began the New World War.

### Invasion of Mu

The Gra Valkas Empire gained momentum after defeating the World Union Navy in the Great Naval Battle of Baltica. The Gra Valkas Imperial Army was constructing a Valkyries base roughly 30km west of the Mu border town of Alue. Diplomat Asada Taiji of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who visited the Imperial Foreign Ministry branch office in Leiforia, warned Cielia and Dallas that if the empire invaded Mu, Japan would destroy the empire's ambitions with all might. However, even with the Imperial Foreign Ministry's reports about Japan's strength after demonstrating a video on the laptop, the emperor's orders could not be overturned, and so the preparations for the invasion pushed on. The Gra Valkas Imperial Army commenced its bombardment of the Mu border town of Alue, signaling the beginning of its invasion.
