Schmill Pao

**Schmill Pao** is the minister of the Military Affairs of the Holy Milishial Empire.

## Personality

Schmill Pao is a member of the upper echelons of the Milishial government, and participates in the Imperial Council against Gra Valkas Empire.

However, all military reports and policies are made by Agra, Minister of Defense, and he himself has no meaningful role to play at the moment, only bowing down to the Emperor's comments.

## Chronology

### Post-Naval Battle of Magdola

After the destruction of the Zeroth Magic Fleet in the Naval Battle of Magdola, Schmill Pao participated in the first meeting with all high-level governmental officials at the imperial palace in the capital city of Runepolis to determine the countermeasures against the Gra Valkas Empire. He listened to Agra’s explanation of the combined military forces and Arneus' explanation of the exquisitely detailed world map locating Gra Valkas Empire by Japan's satellite surveillance, making him and other governmental officials shocked. Agra had pointed out that Port Town Cartalpas could not protect them and urged them to evacuate, but due to Liage's diplomatic viewpoint and the resentment of the nations, he changed his mind to intercept them.

### Post-Great Naval Invasion of Japan

After the destruction of the Gra Valkas Empire Great Fleet in the Great Naval Invasion of Japan, Schmill Pao participated in the meeting with Emperor Milishial VIII and all high-level governmental officials at the Castle Albion in the capital city of Runepolis. The meeting’s agenda had already been discussed through preliminary reports and fragmentary videos of the naval battle between Japan and the Gra Valkas Empire. They watched the video by recording from the aerial battleship Pal Chimera, showing an anti-ship guided missile landed on a cruiser, causing a more violent and bigger intense explosion. Unable to find any other words beyond shock, Schmill Pao and other officials stayed silent as they watched the video. Japanese cruisers bombarded the battleship Grade Atlastar with multiple missiles and shells, making them wonder how thick the armoring was on the enemy battleship.

After the video ended, Schmill Pao and other officials were shocked about Japan’s strength. He listened to Intelligence Bureau Director Arneus explaining the anti-ship guided missiles, causing Schmill Pao's anxiety and humiliation on Japan’s advanced weapons development.

National Defense Minister Agra handed out the documents and discussed the necessity of the operation about the Liberation of the Hinomawari Kingdom first before Leifor. Japan wanted to build an airfield around Valkyries for an attack on Leifor’s west coast, which was a considerable distance between the vicinity of Valkyries and Leiforia. Schmill Pao and the governmental officials read the documents. According to what’s written in the documents, once the Hinomawari Kingdom had been liberated, Japan would set up an airfield around the Valkyries base, then destroy the Gra Valkas Empire fleet off Leiforia through airstrikes. In addition, attached to the document is a request to the Holy Milishial Empire to dispatch a fleet to carry out a naval blockade once they’ve secured air superiority.

The Holy Milishial Empire has decided that after they’ve confirmed the destruction of the enemy fleet off Leiforia, it will send a fleet led by magic battleships to spearhead a naval blockade.
