## Service History

### Japanese-Parpaldian War

Used during the Great Naval Battle of Esthirant.

### New World War

Used during the Battle of Mykal Offshore.

As the Main Fleet of the Great Fleet of the Gra Valkas Imperial Navy is nearing towards Nahanath Kingdom, the JGSDF decided to deploy their SSMs (Surface-to-Ship Missiles) and SAMs (Surface-to-Air Missile) regiments to add force against GVE.

The Type-91 ASM-1C was used during the Liberation of Leifor wherein it destroyed the Gra Valkas Empire's Leifor Defense Fleet and was only left with three destroyers and all its submarines.

### Conflict at Silkark Kingdom

During the Japanese counter-attack against the Cryseilis Holy Kingdom, the 4th Escort Group arrived 150km off the island of Talcris early morning and began launching **Type-90 SSM-1B Ship-to-Ship Missile**s, modified to hit aerial and ground targets, the same missiles used during the Great Naval Battle of Esthirant, towards the joint base. Two airships flying on patrol were hit, and one crashed directly into a barracks, immediately causing immense human casualties. Further missiles appeared on the horizon, striking the Command Center, the Magic Fuel Depot, and numerous airships at rest on the ground, wiping out another third of the Air Fleet. Having destroyed the enemy base and all but 30 airships, the MSDF 4th Escort Group returned North.

At the still-ongoing Battle of Wakaskalt, the said weapon managed to take down the kingdom's sole Flying Battleship Pal Chimera.
Tagus

**Tagus** is a captain of the Mithril-class magic battleship *Caledwulf*, the flagship of the First, Second, and Third Fleets of the Holy Milishial Empire.

## Chronology

### New World War Arc

In the Great Naval Battle of Baltica, the Milishial Army used the fleets of each country in the World Union as bait and faithfully executed the strategy of luring out and destroying the main force of the Gra Valkas Imperial Navy, so the World Union suffered enormous damage from the first battle. Commander Lettal Kauran spoke to Captain Tagus that The percentage of Milishial's losses was low due to their numbers. However, Tagus stated the main force was 95% while the 5% were those of the World Union Fleet. They heard the report from the 6th recon patrol, spotting the location of the Gra Valkas Imperial Navy Combined Fleet. Lettal Kauran unleashed the Alpha-3 fighters and Beta-2 bombers from the Rodeus-class aircraft carrier to impose its divine punishment.

At the same time, the Gra Valkas Imperial Navy Combined Fleet was discovered and attacked by the Alpha-3 fighters and Beta-2 bombers, but it was completely destroyed. The World Union Fleet was also exposed to attacks from aircraft and suffered more than 10% damage, including the Gold-class magic battleship *Frilla* and the Rodeus-class aircraft carrier *Shekinah*.

The Rigel torpedo-bomber dropped their torpedoes into the sea some distance away from the ships and then started to fly off. They were heading underwater straight for them. Captain Tagus didn’t know what it was yet he instinctively sensed danger and shouted out. From his point of view, the ship began to avoid the torpedoes frustratingly slow. The flagship *Caledwulf* somehow managed to dodge them, but two columns of water jutted out from the side of the Gold-class battleship *Frilla* cruising on the *Caledwulf*’s right. The Gold-class battleship *Frilla* was hit by four torpedoes and sank.

After that, Tagus was thought to have participated in the fleet battle after the downing of the Pal Chimera Unit 01, but since there was no further description, his life and death were unknown.

Sareen Captain

**Sareen Captain** is an unnamed captain of the destroyer *Sareen* of the 2nd Central Fleet of the Gra Valkas Empire.

## Chronology

### New World War Arc

After the combined base Lars Filmyna in Leifor was bombarded by JSDF airstrikes, receiving the report from Commander Fantare, Fleet Commander Akhail ordered twenty ships of the 2nd Central Fleet to depart heading for Leifor. To prevent similar attacks, Akhail tried to deploy sonars to detect JMSDF submarines and was confident that he could take down JMSDF submarines.

The captain looked around the sea in the bridge of the destroyer *Sareen* while Cuiam listened carefully to the deep-signaling device, which was equipped with the most advanced device that made full use of the underwater acoustics. Suddenly, he caught a faint noise in his ears and conducted a wide area search with his active sonar. He noticed that it was the reflected sound of man-made objects. He reported to the captain that six torpedoes approached on the westbound at five kilometers.

Under the captain's command, each ship informed quickly. Eventually, the fleet began to turn to the left. Cuiam put his listening device to his ear, concentrating to see if any other torpedoes were approaching. He shouted out loud at the unexpected impact of the movement. The captain urged him to report quickly that the torpedoes were changing direction, which he realized guided torpedoes.

After the guided rockets out of the sea destroyed the destroyer *Mashim* and other destroyers and cruisers, the captain pondered on the bridge of the destroyer *Sareen* to begin rescue operations for the area where the destroyer *Mashim* was if there were any survivors. He slowly gave the order as the other ships panic. Since the crew's life was at stake, the vice captain disagreed from the standpoint of saving the lives of the crew as they must escape this area. The captain strongly gave a speech to his crews for a life of justice to save survivors, making them shook in their hearts.

The destroyer *Sareen* headed for the waters where the sunk destroyer *Mashim* had been.
Uda

## Chronology

### Short Story: Japan and the Quila Kingdom

Ambassador Payne of the Qua-Toyne Principality, who had requested for dialogue due to “urgent matters”, informed Metsal, a nobleman who oversees foreign affairs about an emerging country called Japan who wanted to open diplomatic relations with the Quila Kingdom. When King Quila agreed with that, Metsal decided to meet Japan envoys for diplomatic negotiations.

At around one week later, a place of discussion was established for the first contact between the Quila Kingdom and Japan. Japanese diplomat Uda arrived at Barrat from a ship off at sea using a flying machine called a helicopter and exchanged his introduction with Metsal. Hearing from the Qua-Toyne Principality that Japan was one with superior technological capabilities, Metsal asked him what Japan want from a poor country. He looked for the resources that Japan have inquired from the Qua-Toyne Principality that the Quila Kingdom was brimming with volumes of oil called “flammable water". He wished the Quila Kingdom to export it to Japan and exchanged the rates for infrastructure. Metsal calmed down after hearing nothing to be concerned over. However, he became baffled after hearing that the subject of the transaction would be “flammable water”. He accepted it for exchanging the oil (flammable water) where the Quila Kingdom couldn’t stand with full of ooze since it is useless for growing crops and also had trouble by smelling.

When Uda gave him the term papers, Metsal felt that the terms won’t be help if the construction work detailed required a lot of manpower. Uda shows him a video introducing the country of Japan on a laptop. High-rise buildings that penetrate the heavens, lush and bountiful nature, and the beautiful four seasons. Upon seeing the video on the methods and procedures for infrastructure construction, Metsal was overcome with astonishment. Seeing sceneries and technologies he had never seen before, he came to the understanding that Japan is a country that compares to the world’s superpowers. The authenticity of the video can be verified by inquiring about the delegation sent by the Principality of Qua-Toyne to Japan.

Understanding that discrimination wasn’t the cause, Metsal decided to promptly raise the matter to King Quila.

Someday later, the Quila Kingdom and Japan established diplomatic relations for the oils and resources, and the Quila Kingdom has received so much support that they have become richer.

When the Parpaldia Empire made an unacceptable demand for the cession of the Siltras Mine and the enslavement of the princess, King Taara XIV angrily declared diplomatic relations and prepared to fight against the Parpaldia Empire's inspectorate. It was a bit hasty for someone who is in charge of the country, but in reality, Altaras's army has enough strength to win against an inferior inspection force and the plan was to aim for an early peace with that strength. However, from the description afterward, the Parpaldia Empire only wanted a pretext for an invasion that was based on the premise of complete domination from the beginning, and in reality, the Parpaldia Empire's superior forces would attack.

Therefore, even though he thought he was unfit to be a leader, he let his daughter Lumies escape to Japan and challenged the approaching Parpaldia Imperial Army to a tragic battle.

In the end, the armies of the Altaras Kingdom fragilely fell in three days due to the dragon armor tactics of the magic ships-of-the-line, wyvern lords, land dragons, and musketeers. King Taara XIV was engulfed in flames by a direct hit from a wyvern lord’s fireball, killing him.

## Chronology

### Japanese-Parpaldian War Arc

During the one-sided war Japanese-Parpaldian War, the Principality was supposed to aid the Parpaldia Empire against Japan but "due to distance between the empire and Pandora", it didn't aid the empire. But some said the reason why Pandora didn't aid the empire its because of the huge anti-Parpaldian sentiment from the populace.

Smartphone

**Smartphones** are a class of mobile phones and of multi-purpose mobile computing devices. They are distinguished from feature phones by their stronger hardware capabilities and extensive mobile operating systems, which facilitate wider software, internet (including web browsing over mobile broadband), and multimedia functionality (including music, video, cameras, and gaming), alongside core phone functions such as voice calls and text messaging.

## Overview

A smartphone is generally a new generation of the handphone that features a touchscreen and can store multiple applications in one device. First developed by Alexander Graham Bell by inventing Telephone in 1876 and the first mobile phone was invented by Martin Cooper in 1973. It was further revolutionized until the invention of the Smartphone that changes the way of communications in real life. However, despite the Smartphone was adored and well-received in multiple nations in the New World, some key features are not able to be used such as Internet due to lack of Satellite Communications (SATCOM) that orbits around the world, as well as the imposed New World Technology Outflow Prevention Act.

However, Japan was able to construct a lot of telecommunications towers to ensure the New World users can contact each other. The smartphone usage itself was limited at New World Technology Outflow Prevention Act where the internet is currently not available outside Japan.

## Acceptance of Smartphones in the New World

### Third Civilization Area

Smartphones are accepted favorably by countries in this civilized area. It is said that the operation and maintenance of smartphones are much cheaper than Magical Communication Devices and the use of Japan-made smartphones became a national policy in some countries.

### Second Civilization Area

Just like the Third Civilization Area, smartphones are also accepted favorably by the Second Civilization, especially by Mu. Mu had already constructed several cell sites inside their territory and Myrus said that the Mu government purchased fiber optics cables because they anticipate the lifting of the Internet ban outside Japan.

### Outside Civilized Areas

Smartphones are also accepted favorably by countries in some of the so-called Outside Civilized Countries. Since the operation and maintenance of smartphones are much cheaper than Magical Communication Devices and like the Third Civilization Area, the use of Japan-made smartphones became a national policy in some of these countries. Most probably, the first countries to benefit these are Japan's closest allies (Quila Kingdom, Qua-Toyne Principality, Fenn Kingdom, Altaras Kingdom, Topa Kingdom, Esperanto Kingdom, Heiskanen)
Silkark Kingdom

The **Silkark Kingdom** is a tropical island nation that belongs to the Outside Civilization Area, located 1,300 km away from southeastern part of the Rodenius Continent.

## History

Although it is an island country, they are not isolated from the rest of the world, as they are aware of the on-going New World War. However, they are not in touch with its southeastern neighbors due to the strong ocean currents that separates the said landmasses. The said ocean current can be overcome by countries that uses steel ships like Mu, Holy Mirishial Empire, Gra Valkas Empire and Japan.

## Chronology

The kingdom was first mentioned when it was the next assignment of Asada Taiji, after taken the hot seat during the still-ongoing New World War between the World Union Forces and the Gra Valkas Empire.

At first, Asada thought that his Silkark assignment will be not as hot as during his Mu assignment, but during the talks with Silkark government officials with regards to the construction of an airport in the island nation, an intruder interrupted the ongoing negotiations. A Magic Airship has intruded the kingdom capital's airspace. Asada grumbled that he might become as busy as during his Mu assignment again.

The said intruders were came from Cryseilis Holy Kingdom, an island nation at the southeast of Silkark. Military diplomats from the holy kingdom demanded that Silkark must surrender to them or face destruction. However, Silkark officials stated that if they are planning to attack the kingdom, Japan will retaliate with military force. However, Cryseilian military diplomats scoffed the Japanese threat.

## Technology

In general, Silkark's technological level is extremely low, only equivalent to that of the Middle Ages. However, thanks to its diplomatic relation with Japan, the standard of living has greatly improved, and enjoys the benefits of modern day living just like any other New World country that associate itself with Japan.

## Military

The armed forces of Silkark, like most other countries in the New World, is equipped and organized much like those in the Middle Ages, with ground soldiers armed with swords, spears, shields, and bows, and organized in square formations. They rely on wizards as support, from communications to executing high-damage support attacks. Their navy is composed of wooden ships and their air force is composed of Wyverns.

Currently, Silkark's independence is guaranteed and is militarily protected by Japan, as they said to the military diplomats from the Cryseilis Holy Kingdom that if they invaded the kingdom, the Japanese will retaliate.

## Politics

The kingdom's political system is an absolute monarchy.

## Foreign Relations

### Japan

The Silkark Kingdom is aware of the exploits of the island nation. From defeating the Parpaldia Empire to its recent victories in the New World War, Silkark has deep awe, respect and fear for one of the five Superpowers.

### Cryseilis Holy Kingdom

The first meeting of the two kingdoms was not as sweet as military diplomats from the holy kingdom already demanded that Silkark must surrender to them or face destruction.
Triple Spirit Magic Cannon

**Triple Spirit Magic Cannon** is a type of magic gun held by the Holy Milishial Empire. It is the latest model and is also equipped with two main guns on the Holy Milishial Empire state-of-the-art Mithril-class magic battleship. It has the largest caliber of 38.1cm (15 inches) among the magic guns owned by the country.

## Description

   It has a range of up to 34km, shorter than the main gun of the Gra Valkas Empire Orion-class battleship, but has a higher loading speed. Although it was only 38cm, it was fully effective against battlecruiser such as the Orion-class (equivalent to the Kongo type).

When the shell is loaded to the cannon, the cannon will be charged with a strong magical force that imbues the shell and propels it at the intended target. When the shell exits the cannon it will be covered with a blue magical force that creating a trail of the blue line in the trajectory. Finally, the shell will explode in a blue magical explosion when it hits a target. Since the spirit was blessed at the time of the launch, it is named "spiritual".

It looks a much ultra-SF specific competitive Mithril-class ship body, stealth turret mounted on and likely to shape even like a space battleship, the angular three of the gun barrel is divided from the middle up and down. Immediately before the muzzle, there are several large holes that seem to be muzzle brakes (muzzle suppressors) for suppressing recoil.

During the battle against Gra Valkas, the cannons are inferior in both range and firepower to WW2-era cannons used by Gra Valkas Navy.

Based on the analysis of Japanese weapon expert, the mechanism of the magic cannons is quite similar to railgun but since the magical cannons are fundamentally not a railgun so it is not worth for the Japanese to research deeply into it. Furthermore, these cannons lack the Fire Control System (FCS) of the modern naval guns of Japan, so they are extremely inaccurate. To compensate, a ship normally posses more guns and depends on firing volleys to ensure hits.

The composition, however, can be changed depends on how much firepower it can give to the target as the crew at Holy Mirishial Empire normally insert at least three elements (Fire, Sky, and Explosives) to the shell.
Wyvern Lord

**Wyverns Lord** is the stronger version of Wyvern that is used by the Parpaldia Empire. They are stronger and more durable than normal Wyverns. However, they are still no match for even the Marin, Mu's most advanced aircraft at the time.

## Description

Wyverns Lord is the stronger version of wyvern breeding type. It's maximum speed of 350 km/h, the attack ability is the same as that of a normal Wyvern, and their skin is also easy prey to Antares ' 7.7 mm machine gun, so it seems that there is no big difference.

As a price of strengthening combat ability, fertility is lost and only one generation.

However, since the speed is up of Wyverns is only 125 km/hr in Altarus Kingdom, 120 Wyverns cavalry are easily annihilated by Parpaldia Empire’s Wyvern Lords, However, due to exhaustion, 50 Papaldian Wyvern Lords cavalry are annihilated by 100 Riem Kingdom Wyverns. This is because, unlike an airplane, it does not tamper with the armaments or air-frame, so it cannot reverse the speed difference. However, these improvements still do not put the Wyvern Lords above the performance of aircraft and are certainly no match for the jets of Japan.

The Wyvern Overlords are considered to be the strongest Wyvern variant. However, production and deployement of those monstrosities for the empire is delayed and already difficult, so the Wyvern Lords remained in their air force. Many countries in the Second Civilization Area still uses the Wyvern Lords.

A nation outside civilization managed to kill a Wyvern Lord from the Civilized Areas is considered to be a national prestige. That is why Japan received so much attention from the Civilized Areas when they managed to easily kill 22 Wyvern Lords of the Parpaldian Oversight Army.

## Operators

### Third Civilization Area

* Parpaldia Empire - They have used 350 units in the Fenn Kingdom. Subsequent depictions indicate that the Imperial Navy alone was probably operating more than 1,000 Wyvern Lords, indicating the Wyvern Lord is their main Air Force rather than standard Wyverns. In addition to this, the higher-class Wyvern Overlord is operated. It is estimated that more than a thousand have been lost in the war with Japan, and it is thought that they operate only a few units since the fall of Parpaldia
* Riem Kingdom - They owned several units for flight testing. During the New World War, they used their Wyverns Lords to attack the Japanese Embassy and Japanese merchant ships in Duro.

### Second Civilization Area

* Leifor - See Naval Battle of Leifor for details.

* Nigrat Union - Used during the Battle of Baltica. Its body color can blend into the sky, making it hard to find visually which is good at surprise attacks.

Sonalian Foreign Minister

**Sonalian Foreign Minister** is an unnamed chief diplomat and the minister of the Foreign Affairs of the Sonal Kingdom.

## Chronology

### New World War Arc

In the Sonal Kingdom, which borders the second civilization superpower Leifor, located south of Mu, an emergency meeting was being held in the King's Chamber at the castle. The emergency meeting was held to discuss Leifor’s fall and the subsequent virtual annihilation of the fleet at the Eleven Country Leadership Conference.

The Foreign Minister's convoy mentioned that the damages sustained by the fleet at the Eleven Country Leadership Conference and the trajectory of the battle. King Sonal was dumbfounded by the fact that the Mu’s naval task force and other elite fleets over 60 ships had been completely annihilated on the Battle of the Folk Strait. They were up against a large number of aircraft and the lone ship that fell the great superpower Leifor: the superdreadnought *Grade Atlastar*. The conference room went silent.

After hearing its name makes the naval forces of the Second Civilization tremble, the foreign minister said that he thought that Mu’s fleet would be the only one able to go against it when in fact their naval task force was even helplessly annihilated. With this, all of the countries had begun to fear the Gra Valkas Empire.

The foreign minister explained to the king believe even the ultra-high performance warship of the Japanese army, which was said to have dismantled the Third Civilization superpower Parpaldia Empire unscathed, was helplessly sunk by the Grade Atlastar. Not even Japan could stand up to the Grade Atlastar. For dismantling the Papaldia Empire with zero casualties, Japan was recognized by the world as a great power. Therefore the sinking of the coast guard’s patrol vessel, which everyone thought was a Japanese warship, added to the terror of the Gra Valkas Empire.

Moreover, the foreign minister spoke to the king that this information was not confirmed, but according to the spies who had sent to the Holy Mirishial Empire, the Mirishial's zeroth magic fleet was attacked by a Gra Valkas naval task force and subsequently annihilated. Once again, this is unconfirmed information.

Everyone in the King's Chamber was overcome with dread. King Sonal realized if the Holy Millesial Empire's Zeroth Magic Fleet was annihilated, then there was nothing in the world that could stand against the Gra Valkas Empire. He obeyed the foreign minister to consider the decision of surrendering without a fight, depending on the situation. Amid the room, some people began to cry.

The foreign minister would examine a course of action in the event of a surrender, although it would be distressing to see a nation with 1,200 years of tradition lost.

The Sonal Kingdom considered surrendering to the Gra Valkas Empire in order not to sacrifice the people.
