## Chronology

### New World War Arc

At the beginning of the Great Naval Battle of Baltica, dozens of the Marin, were lined up crowded on the decks of five aircraft carriers. Joining up with the World Union Fleet to lay waste on the Gra Valkas Empire’s fleet, a total of fifty ships from Mu which comprised of five aircraft carriers, four La Kasami class battleships, eight armored cruisers, twelve cruisers, sixteen light cruisers, five supply vessels, have left the port of the industrial city of Mykal.

On the Baltica Sea near the north of Mu continent, Commander Raider was taken aback by the sight before him. He looked out multiple ships of the World Union from the bridge of the Mu flagship, the La Kasami-class battleship, *La Erdo*, and considered the strength of the grand fleet spread out before his eyes. Captain Tenal looked over to the battleship and responded to him that they had compiled tactics and weapons useful in countering their forces based on research done from Japan’s military data. However, Raider, Tenal, and the other Mu military staff were unaware that two aerial battleships Pal Chimera, the Ravernal Empire’s ancient weapon, were joining the fight as well.

Commander Raider heard the incoming report that one Gra Valkan plane was spotted heading straight for the World Union Fleet on Aerial Sector 2 in 108 kilometers. He ordered to send ten Marin fighters to intercept them and shoot them down. The Marin carrier-based fighters launched from one of the aircraft carriers.

After ten Marin aircraft from Meltima’s squadron were annihilated by the first 108 escort fighters from the Gra Valkas Empire Eastern Fleet Air Corps around 130km west of the World Union Fleet, Commander Raider noticed several black dots appeared in the clear sky. Intercepting fighters took off in the direction of the dots, wary of enemy dive-bombing. Personnel manned the numerous newly-installed 20mm autocannons on the battleship *La Erdo* and looked up to the sky with nervousness. The fleets of all the nations turned to the skies in anticipation as Marin fighters from five of Mu’s prided aircraft carriers and wyvern lords from four of the Nigrat Union’s dragon carriers began taking off. He asked Captain Tenal a possibility that the Gra Valkas Empire had already attacked and wiped them out. Tenal believed that the Nigrat Union base had runways and whatnot, but since they were camouflaged against naval attacks, it wasn’t easy to spot from the sky. He concluded that they are safe since they had not received any reports that they had been attacked as of late.

After Milishial Bronze-class magic battleship *Ceintel*, Magicaraich Community armored ship of the line *Barthelma*, and the rest of the World Union ships bombarded and sank by Sirius dive bombers, Two of Mu’s aircraft carriers had already been bombed and were currently fighting fires. The torpedoes jettisoned by Rigel torpedo bombers hit the aircraft carrier Towen, rocking the ship and causing severe damage to the ship’s bottom. Tenal was shocked as he watched the aircraft carrier Towen was beginning to sink.

The 1st attack wave from the Gra Valkas Empire Naval Air Corps, which had tossed the World Union Fleet into a frenzy, ceased its attacks and returned to their stations.

Later on, in the third wave, Raider was suffering from a sense of powerlessness after 300 Nigrat Union's wyvern lords were annihilated by the Gra Valkas Imperial fleet. The World Union Fleet also had many of its ships destroyed. When the Gra Valkas Imperial Eastern Fleet came to the World Union fleet, fierce bombardment from the ships set fire to many ships and pulverized even more. Captain Tenal vigorously spoke to Raider, who felt lost his control, that the World Union fleet still has some strength left and they must not yield. Raider pointed towards his subordinates on the bridge. Captain Tenal then noticed them, who were frightened. However, Raider heard the emergency message over the magic comms that the aerial battleship Pal Chimera would come soon for the Gra Valkas Imperial fleet, informing all units to not attack it. Raider wasn’t an exception in finding the message difficult to grasp. He spoke to Tenal, who raised the question, the Holy Mirishial Empire would be using an aerial battleship which was the weapon of the ancient sorcerous empire.

The aerial battleship Pal Chimera approached from the north of the World Union fleet. A lookout reports in as Raider cut into their conversation and ordered his subordinates not to attack it. Raider and Tenal had reached the limits of their shock when they looked it at the sky to the north.

Eventually, the Gra Valkas Empire aircraft circling over the skies turned and flew towards the aerial battleship Pal Chimera. As Raider and Tenal observed the aerial battleship closely, bullets of light on the magnitude they have never witnessed before being fired from the top of the aerial battleship. It only took a few seconds passed for the powerful aircraft of the Gra Valkas Empire to disappear from the skies. Raider and Tenal couldn’t help but tremble at the sight. The mechanical civilization of Mu fast approached the level of the Holy Mirishial Empire, carrying the thought that a civilization around machines surpasses a civilization of magic. However, with a power that the commanders of every other nation felt they could never achieve right there in front of him, Raider despaired. Raider and Tenal watched the aerial battleship commencing its attack on the Gra Valkas Imperial Eastern Fleet.

After that, Tenal was thought to have participated in the fleet battle after the downing of the aerial battleship Pal Chimera Unit 01, but since there was no further description, his life and death were unknown. Either the battleship *La Erdo* sank or retreated, setting off for Mu.
