Bal

**Bal** was a general of Leifor Army, belonging to the Leifor navy flagship 100-gun ship-of-the-line *Holy*.

## Personality

Bal is a powerful man who suddenly shoots and kills the ship’s officer who raised an objection to the deception, and he often calls the Gra Valkas Empire as a barbarian because of his pride as a great power. Although he led the navy, he is described as "General Bal" in the novel, so he may not be from the navy but from the army.

## Chronology

### Post-Rodenius War

In order to impose armed punishment on the Gra Valkas Empire, which destroyed the Paganda Kingdom under the protection of Leifor, General Bal, aboard the 100-gun ship-of-the-line flagship *Holy*, led a main fleet consisting of 43 magical ships-of-the-line and dragon carriers to launch a naval battle in the western sea of Mu continent. He wrinkled his brow to order the wyvern lords launching to attack. The 20 wyvern lords were launched from the dragon carrier and flew in formation encountering the Gra Valkas’ dreadnought battleship *Grade Atlastar*.

After the 20 wyvern lord knights were annihilated within 10 minutes after receiving anti-aircraft fire from the battleship *Grade Atlastar*, Bal bellowed in anger at the operator's report that they had been wiped out.

When the 43 ships of the Leiforian fleet quickly closing in on the battleship *Grade Atlastar*, he opened his eyes wide and scoured the horizon to see the giant ship. The entire fleet continued forward, side by side, forming a line as they charged the giant ship.

The battleship Grade Atlastar fired shells from main and secondary guns at the Leiforian fleet in the six kilometers. One-sided attacked on the Leiforian fleet with a gun range of only two kilometers. The first shot did not hit, but General Bal was struck by a long-range shot that the Leiforian fleet did not reach. In the second shot, the secondary gun hit the Leiforian 80-gun ship-of-the-line *Gaofors* directly, and it was sunk.

After the battleship Grade Atlastar bombarded fiercely ship by ship, General Bal shook with fear that all other ships in the fleet had now been sunk. He noticed the giant ship slowly turned in the water, and all its cannons spun around to aim at the 100-gun ship-of-the-line flagship Holy. He ordered the crews to set a surrender flag. They raised that flag on the Holy’s mast, which symbolized the declaration to surrender in this world. He cursed himself by humiliation. The ship’s officer objected him that declaring surrender after the attack would stain the honor of Leifor. He shot the officer to death as he approached the ship’s captain. He glared at the approaching giant ship and instructed the crews to prepare the surprise attack against the giant ship that had approached.

When the battleship *Grade Atlastar* approached almost one kilometers of the required distance, General Bal executed a surprise attack on the battleship *Grade Atlastar* that approached unintentionally. 50 guns side of the 100-gun ship-of-the-line *Holy* were fired all at once and almost all hit directly. He laughed as he watched the shells hit, but the battleship *Grade Atlastar* was counterattacked without being damaged. The battleship *Grade Atlastar* fired all nine of its 46 cm guns simultaneously at close range, and the Leiforian fleet’s last ship-of-the-line *Holy* was erased from existence. General Bal was also killed.

After the Leiforian fleet was annihilated, the capital of Leifor, Leiforia, was burned to almost ash, destroying the capital's castle and killing the emperor after being bombarded by the dreadnought Grade Atlastar in the next evening. The surviving army also surrendered unconditionally, and Leifor was destroyed.
