## Chronology

### Japanese-Parpaldian War Arc

After seizing and occupying the capital Le Brias, the victorious imperial army that defeated and overthrew the Altaras Kingdom then proceeded eastward to attack and invade the Fenn Kingdom and Japan. They had 20 ships of the line stationed at the naval port east of the capital Le Brias, 2,000 men and 20 wyvern lords at an imperial army base next to it, and another 2,000 men garrisoned at another imperial army base situated 40km north of the capital.

At the beginning of the Battle of Altaras Kingdom, Lieutenant General Lee Jacques of the Imperial Army was gazing over the capital from the rooftop of his temporary command center of the Hyperion Base in the outskirts of the capital. He stood next to the army captain, who served as his staff officer. He spoke to the army captain that he wondered why the imperial army at Fenn Kingdom suffered losses nearing annihilation. The army captain still couldn't believe that the imperial army was defeated but conjectured perhaps the enemy had thousands upon thousands of ships to attack them. However, Lee Jacques doubted that the horde of uncivilized barbarians was to come together and build a fleet of ships that numbered in the thousands to oppose them. The army captain believed simply unimaginable that the Parpaldia Empire had an overwhelming advantage in their capacity to achieve air superiority and that their warships had powerful, long-reaching guns. But when Lee Jacques turned towards the ocean to the east with a grim expression, he suspects that the defeat of the imperial army at Fenn Kingdom was a conspiracy by Mu. The army captain shivered fearfully when he imagined the worst-case scenario. Lee Jacques highly doubted it, which he certainly knew that Mu hadn’t yet accomplished if they tried to grab a stake in the Third Civilization Area under their grip, giving the army captain agreed after hearing that the state of affairs in the Second Civilization Area was unstable as of late.

Lee Jacques and the army captain left the base and walked in less than five minutes towards the port. They talked about runways for use by wyvern lords, which any ordinary flat ground wasn’t enough on the hilly land. Upon reaching the port, they happened across their imperial ships of the line moored neatly along the wharf. They were an impressive sight. The Japanese attack began while Lee Jacques was gawking at the 100-gun ship of the line *Spall*. Then, the *Spall* exploded into flames and split the ship in half before sinking underneath the waves of the harbor. The ships-of-the-line anchored at the ported all sunk one after another. Lee Jacques and the army captain escaped back to their temporary command center, receiving multiple incoming calls and reports of the attacks spread quickly, but by the time they finished preparing for battle, the naval port was completely destroyed, and all 20 ships of the line sinking at the bottom of the harbor.

The JASDF F-2 fighters dropped the bomb at the Hyperion Base, engulfing in the raging fireballs of multiple explosions erupting all over, killing the army captain and some of the personnel, but the force of the blasts knocked Lee Jacques down onto the floor alive. When Lee Jacques looked up into the sky, he caught the mechanical aircraft with red circles on the wings cruising through the skies at unbelievable speeds. He rapidly got up from the floor and instructed his communications officer to inform the Japanese attacks on all bases and the colonial government across the island through the emergency channels. The communications officer removed pieces of the fallen roof from the magi-feed broadcast, which was still in functioning order, and frantically repeated Lee Jacques’ statement. All imperial manacomms across the island received the message, listening to it on Parpaldian emergency channels. However, as soon as the communications officer sent out the message, Lee Jacques was killed with subordinates in the room when they saw a blinding burst of light generated again by the bombing of the F-2 fighters.
