## Chronology

### Japanese-Parpaldian War Arc

After the loss of contact with the wyvern lord unit dispatched to strike the Military Festival, Admiral Poquetoire, aboard on the Phishanus-class 100-gun ship-of-the-line *Washinashi*, felt miserable and talked to the captain. He was sure that something bad was happening, but he had direct orders from Kaios, the director of the Third Foreign Affairs Department, to launch 22 imperial battleships a "punishing attack" against the Fenn Kingdom, who demanded territorial dedication. The Imperial Oversight Army's Eastern Fleet headed to the Fenn Kingdom.

The sailor reported the captain that they had spotted the thirteen ships of Fenn's Palace Navy on the waters west of the Fenn Kingdom. The captain ordered them to battle stations preparing all 40 guns for the Fenn navy. He deployed them using the Tears of the Wind God to filled their sails with wind. The fleet sped up and headed towards the Fenn navy.

When the Fenn flagship *Sword God* sailed within two kilometers of them, Kushira ordered them to distract them with large single cannon and yelled them to fire it. The cannon at the bow of the Sword God roared as it shot a cannon shell. The shell hit right in front of the fleet, erupting into a giant pillar of water. The sailor reported the captain that the lead enemy ship had fired on them by a large magic gun. The captain shouted out that not treat them as barbarians and showed them true firepower. He ordered them to ready preparing the fire.

The Eastern Fleet turned their ships, revealing their sides to the Fenn navy. The 100-gun ship-of-the-line fired the multiple magic cannons at them in two kilometers. Wherever cannon shells fell, big pillars of water streamed up into the air. A ship sailing behind the Sword God was hit by a cannon shell. The shell exploded, knocking over the ship’s pot of oil, which spread all over and caught fire, quickly immolating the entire ship. Fenn’s elite sailors, with all their training, their sword skills obtained through hellish effort, were now burning and rolling around the deck in horror.

After the flagship’s single cannon failed, the *Sword God* was hit by an enemy’s shell, which exploded and opened up a giant hole in the deck where Commander Kushira and captain was killed.

After the thirteen ships in Fenn’s navy have all been sunk, he ordered them to set a direct course for the capital of Fenn, Amanoki. The Eastern Fleet, without losing a single ship or even receiving a single wound, headed for their next target. When the fleet arrived at Amanoki, Admiral Poquetoire and the captain noticed the huge, castle-like gray ship rapidly closed the distance. They couldn’t think of a country that could manufacture cannon as abnormally large as that one.

Regardless, the ship had clearly come from Fenn, the captain believed if the sail was down with that giant drive, it would not move easily. So was determined to enact Papaldia’s will and attack it. The enemy ship had come within 1.5 km of the fleet, the main cannon was still pointed straight ahead. The fleet fired magic cannons at JMSDF destroyer Myoukou, but all shots missed the target. Admiral Poquetoire and the captain scoffed in wonder that the enemy ship was so fast.

When his fleet attacked the JMSDF destroyer Myoukou, it used its accurate gun to target about half of the fleet’s masts immobilizing them. The captain asked him why they only aimed for the mast, not sink them. Admiral Poquetoire replied him that it was not a coincidence, but it destroyed the mast and made it impossible to navigate. Admiral Poquetoire and the captain realized that the Eastern Fleet won't be able to win the battle with this strength and that the destroyer Myoukou didn't intend to sink any ships. But they had also surmised that the enemy’s objective was not to kill or wound anyone, so Admiral Poquetoire ordered the retreat. Parpaldia Imperial Oversight Army’s Eastern Fleet withdrew completely intact.
