## Chronology

### Rodenius War Arc

In the Pacification of Jin-Hark, When Malpaneus saw something strange moving about 4 kilometers north by a telescope on the 17th Watchtower, he reported to the Capital Defense Headquaters with the magic transmitter. Hearing the report, the comms officer in the Capital Defense Headquaters suddenly woke up from his half-asleep state. He woke up the on-duty commander and ordered all the barracks to prepare for dispatch.

Seeing the situation unfold, Malpaneus reported back to Capital Defense Headquaters. The on-duty commander asks through the comms officer. It had only been a while since the enemies were sighted so they still haven’t heard from the officers of the knights. The personnel were still currently being woken up so it would be some time before a certain amount of soldiers would be ready to fight.

In preparations, a report suddenly came in that one of the siege engine-like things had begun to move. The on-duty commander felt extremely impatient. The comms officer stated according to Watchtowers 17, 16, and 18, there didn’t seem to be any soldiers escorting the siege engine. They also said that only a single-engine was approaching them. The on-duty commander let out a fed-up voice. The battering ram was the Louria Kingdom’s primary siege engine and it required an escort of soldiers else it will easily get run down. The on-duty commander was perplexed by the enemy’s manner of operating siege engines. He ordered the comms officer to have troops already gathered at the ramparts. The ballistae were readied as mounds of ballistae bolts were transported to the ramparts.

After most of the Heavy Infantry Battalion had fallen to the battlefield, leaving only one Swallow with his magic shield by light bullets from 50 cal machine gun, the Royal Capital Defense Force ran out from the eight gates, including soldiers, cavalries, infantries, archers, and mages. They scattered and went on the offensive. When the regimental commander saw them coming to attack the JGSDF 7th Division, he thought they're switching to a strategy of attaching to tanks and shooting them down individually. He sent a message to the JMSDF destroyer *Izumo* for air support.

At the direction of the regimental commander, ten AH-1S Cobras attack helicopters began to take off the northern coast from the JMSDF destroyer *Izumo*.

In the Capital Defense Headquaters, the comms officer reported to the on-duty commander that the flying objects, which belonged to Japan, were passing through the sky above the Jin-Hark's northern port. They were hardly described as living creatures something was heading towards the battlefield. The on-duty commander asked him for a description of iron dragons immediately. The comms officer believed that it seemed the observers panicked and had abandoned their posts; moreover, their squadron's wyverns were gone.

Thanakane, the only one survived dragon knight of the 2nd Wyvern Corps, responded to the comms officer and on-duty commander thru the magical communication device after he heard the transmission by the observer's report. He decided to fly with his partner wyvern and fight the JGSDF AH-1S Cobras attack helicopters.
