## Chronology

### The Legend of the Dragon

An emergency meeting was being held in the Archul Castle regarding the uprising of Marquis Mauli Hanman had already conducted a massacre at the city of Waizer. Dukes Ioan and Wysk, and nobles had pledged their allegiances to King Brandea in the meeting at the royal castle. King Brandea granted his authorization that would take command of the punishment of Marquis Mauli Hanman. King Brandea sent the Royal Knights against the rebellion of Mauli Hanman. The Caluamique Civil War has begun.

After the Royal Knights under Commander Metzil collapsed by the attack of seventy airborne knights on the fire birds in the city of Tozul, Mauli Hanman's force invaded the fortress capital of Archul. The airborne knights riding on fire birds begun attacking within the gates. Mauli Hanman's force brought forth Demon Flame Tanks to blast open the gate, allowing a large number of beasts into the streets of the capital. The fire birds destroyed the Archul Castle in flames and killed King Brandea.

In Wysk Manor, Duke Wysk was making progress on preparations for an emergency assembly at the royal palace. He was given full authority by the royal palace, and his decision led him to request reinforcements from Japan. Three AH-64D Apache attack helicopters, five AH-1S Cobra attack helicopters, a single OH-1 scout helicopter, and twelve Parpaldian wyvern lords flew toward the capital of Archul from JMSDF helicopter destroyer *Izumo* and Parpaldian dragon carrier.

Muller and his wyvern partner kept on pulling off the hit-and-run attacks against their airborne knights in the sky above Archul. The lone dragon rider had already downed seven fire birds, but there were still more than fifty of them in the air. The fire bird’s blow knocked his wyvern out, sending them on a spin as they fell. It stiffened its wings to avoid slamming into the ground. However, he was saved by Reckmeyer and other elven wyvern lords when they arrived. The wyvern lords annihilated the airborne knights. The Parpaldian dragon knights flew into a dive and unleashed their fireballs against the demon flame tanks. The fireballs landed direct hits on several of them, but the demon flame tanks continued to hurl fireballs at them.

At Archul Castle's Gate 2, the flaming tank unit reached the gate and unleashed their fireballs at the gate. The castle gate easily caught fire, but its metal sections allowed the gate to stay firmly shut. The great beast Diobehemoth rammed itself into the gate, easily breaking the latches. The flaming tank unit has successfully broken through the outer wall. When the JGSDF AH-64D and AH-1S attack helicopters arrived at Archul, they destroyed the demon flame tanks using the TOW anti-tank missiles. They also killed the great beast Diobehemoth and the remaining beasts using Hydra rockets and a 20 mm Gatling gun.

Later on, the beasts that had remained in the streets of the capital were all exterminated by the forces of the royal army. Mauli Hanman, Archmage Ordo, and other personnel were taken into custody by the royal army.
