Type-62 Light Machine Gun

The **Sumitomo NTK-62** (62式7.62mm機関銃, *Rokuni-shiki Nana-ten-rokuni-miri Kikanjū*) is the standard issue General-purpose machine gun of the Japan Self-Defense Forces, known as the **Type 62** GPMG. When first issued it fulfilled both light and medium machine gun support throughout the JGSDF. Though the Sumitomo Heavy Industries' M249 firing the smaller 5.56×45mm NATO cartridge has largely replaced it in the light machine gun role at the squad level in the JGSDF, the **Type 62** still plays the support role at platoon and company level for the infantry as a Medium machine gun firing the more powerful 7.62×51mm NATO cartridge. It also continues to be used as a co-axial weapon in various armored vehicles, including tanks and APCs.

## Description

After years of using the Browning M1919A4 as its standard GPMG during the early days of founding the Japan Self-Defense Forces, Sumitomo Heavy Industries had manufactured the NTK-62 GPMG, designed at Nittoku Metal Industry (NTK) by Masaya Kawamura's team. The GPMG was made to meet the requirements of the Japanese Defense Agency (now Ministry of Defense). The designation "62" was present due to the fact that first batches of the NTK-62 were made in 1962 after development started in 1954. It was specifically adopted on February 15, 1962, effectively replacing the M1919 Browning machine gun in JGSDF service.

## Service History

First used in the New World during the Pacification of Jin-Hark, it is used along with the M2 Browning in dealing with the 400 Light Cavalry of the Louria Kingdom that was initially sent by General Patagene. Later in the battle, the Type-74 LMG was used to deal with Calcio and his men when they try to make a sneak attack in the JGSDF camp.

It is also used during Operation Momotarou when Platoon Leader Momota Tarou ordered a full scale attack against Demon Lord Nosgorath. The team used every ammunition they have when they saw Nosgorath weakened by the shots from the Type-91 SAM and Type-10 MBT.

During the events in Nihonkoku Shoukan Gaiden 02, it was revealed that the said machine gun was now being slowly replaced by the FN Minimi.

Piperion Captain

**Piperion Captain** is an unnamed captain of the cruiser *Piperion* of the First Strike Groups of the Gra Valkas Empire.

## Chronology

### New World War Arc

In the Great Naval Battle of Baltica, the Holy Milishial Imperial aerial battleship Pal Chimera Unit 02 hovered over the Hercules-class battleship *Be Tergis* where Commander Kaonia aboard. The crews fired at the Pal Chimera Unit 02 with the anti-aircraft guns from cruiser *Piperion*, but the Piperion captain yelled them to cease attacks temporarily and warned them if they attack the aerial battleship, it would be fall right onto the flagship *Be Tergis*.

Heavy, low-frequency sounds echoed from the thing that hovered over the skies. It was easy to aim at but if it fell, the flagship would surely sink with it. The anti-aircraft guns on the deck of the flagship *Be Tergis* had already been silenced by the previous attack. The Piperion captain received the order from the flagship across the bridge that all ships resumed attacks when the enemy hovering over the flagship was a perfect target.

Just as he was about to give the order to attack, the Piperion captain, who was watching the Pal Chimera Unit 02 from the bridge of the *Piperion*, felt something weird about the aerial battleship. Something enormously long fell straight down from the center of the enemy bridge.

At the same time, the Large Magic Bomb Jibil hit the flagship *Be Tergis*, and a fierce light emanated from the ship. Within the next moment, a fireball far bigger than the flagship appeared, engulfing the entire ship. After a short delay, a tremendous shockwave and a huge mushroom-shaped explosion, which they have never seen before, manifested.

The shockwave rippled across the surface of the sea and an extremely loud bang reverberated where the Piperion captain and his crews aboard *Piperion* were killed. Eventually, silence fell across the vicinity, contrasting the emergence of smoke from the explosion.
Type-96 Automatic Grenade Launcher

The **Howa Type 96** automatic grenade launcher (AGL) (96式40mm自動てき弾銃, *96-shiki 40-miri jidōtekidanjū*), is a Japanese automatic grenade launcher made by Howa since 1996.

## Overview

With the need of a heavy fire support weapon in Japan Self Defense Forces (JSDF) service aside from the use of the Sumitomo Type 62 GPMG and the Sumitomo M2HB machine gun, Howa first created and produced the weapon in 1996.

The Howa Type 96 can be used by both infantry and armored vehicles, the former with a tripod and the latter by being placed on a weapon mount.

It is prominently seen as one of the main weapons mounted on the Type 96 Armored Personnel Carrier.

* **Action:** Blow forward
* **Rate of Fire:** 250-350 rpm
* **Max. Firing Range:** 1,500 m
* **Feed System:** 50-grenades belt
* **Sights:** Ladder

## Service History

As it is primarily installed on the Type 96 Armored Personnel Carrier and used during Operation Momotarou, it might contributed to the destruction of Demon Lord Nosgorath.

Oka Shinji used the Type 96 Automatic Grenade Launcher to defend the Esperanto Kingdom against the Demon's Army.
Ring Island

**Ring Island** is a huge ring-shaped island that belongs to the so-called Outside Civilized Area, surrounding a circular ring of mountains with a height of 1.50 kilometers.

## Location

Ring Island is located approximately 3,000 kilometers northeast of Japan, far beyond east of the Philades Continent, and northwest of the Grameus Continent. It lies on a mountain range with a height of 1,500 meters (1.50km). That mountain range forms a ring, like that of a caldera, enclosing a sea within. Going 100 kilometers inside the enclosed sea from the ring of mountains is an island half the size of Honshu. On the center island are three countries. The island has no coast since its circumference is made up of cliffs.

## Countries

* **Calamique Kingdom** is a nation in the center island where the territory is ruled by the noble families known as the three great lords, the Duke of Wysk, the Duke of Ioan, and the Marquis of Mauli.
* **Poushe Kingdom** is a nation, but location in the center island is unknown.
* **Suwai Republic** is a republic, but location in the center island is unknown.

## Backgound

Because of these geographical conditions, it is isolated from the outside world and knows virtually nothing about the outside world. For example, the wyverns do not exist on this island and are considered imaginary creatures like Fire Birds, Twelve-Horned Beasts, Diobehemoth, and Granmans.
Valcer Comms Officer

**Valcer Comms Officer** is an unnamed communication officer of the Hercules-class battleship *Valcer*, the flagship of the 1st Advanced Fleet of the Gra Valkas Empire.

## Chronology

### New World War Arc

In the Great Naval Invasion of Japan, completing their resupply in the Qaiz Kingdom, the 1st Advance Fleet and the 2nd Advance Fleet departed from the Groot Knightland on a mission to punish Japan in retaliation for the capture of the Gra Cabal. The 2nd Advance Fleet was traveling ahead of the 1st Advance Fleet commanded by Mirkenses.

During Commander Mirkenses and Captain Resspot had a conversation with the reports in the bridge of the flagship *Valcer*, the comms officer cut in between them with his face, which showed signs of bewilderment. Mirkenses and Resspot felt a bit nervous at the report, which seemed to be grave enough to be worth interrupting them. The comms officer reported to them that have received a warning five times from the radio saying: *This is a warning from Japan. Turn back now or we will attack.*

Mirkenses was sure they understood that sending out a radio message would give off their location. She asked the comms officer to determine their location, but he felt embarrassed to tell her not to know yet. He explained Mirkenses and Resspot their position changed five times with each location being extremely far from the others. They calculated one of the positions where the message came from to be within the fleet. They were currently doing their utmost best to discern where the message originated from, but the strength of the radio waves didn't match the positions. Resspot raised the question that the submarine got past them, but the comms officer answered it is different from the type of frequency a submarine emits. They had concluded that the possibility of it being in the ocean was low.

Mirkenses ordered the comms officer with issues promptly to send aircraft to the far-away sources and a destroyer to drop depth charges near the source inside the 1st Advanced Fleet. There was a very high chance that they sent out a wired beacon to transmit radio messages from underwater. The comms officer alerted Commander Aurones of the 2nd Advanced Fleet by a warning from an unknown source from Japan.

In the end, when the Type-12 surface-to-ship missile was sighted heading toward the battleship *Valcer*, the comms officer and the rest of the officers in the bridge were vaporized by the explosion from the missile impact except Mirkenses, who was thrown into the ocean due to the explosion from the missile opened a part of the bridge.
Seventy-Three Country Allied Forces

**Seventy-Three Country Allied Forces**, known as the **Alliance of the 73**, are the allied territories of the Parpaldia Empire that have formed from the rebellion led by Queen Lumies to declare war on the Parpaldia Empire when they lost the majority of the military force to Japan.

## Background

During the Japanese-Parpaldian War, Queen Lumies of the Altaras Kingdom incited a rebellion in the empire's seventy-two territories over a magical broadcast. The seventy-two complied with her call and the territories have revolted. All governing board offices have already fallen into the rebel armies’ hands. All of the former territories, such as Kurth, Kooze, Marta, and Aluke, took part and participated. With Altaras as the leader of the coalition army they declared war against the empire. Aside from the 73 countries, the Riem Kingdom also joined in the fight.

## Chronology

### Japanese-Parpaldian War

The city of Aruni in the northern region of Parpaldia fell to the Seventy-Three Country Coalition Army. However, their achieved victory was caused largely due to the participation of the Riem Kingdom and their use of new weapons (compound bows) brought from Japan. The Riem Kingdom intended to take advantage of this opportunity to to conquer the Parpaldia Empire

After that, they decided to move toward the Imperial holy city of Parneus, but the coup d'etat led by the Third Foreign Affairs Department Head Kaios succeeded. The coup faction virtually surrendered to Japan and the war was virtually over.

Following the call for a ceasefire by Japan, the Seventy-Three Country Allied Forces withdrew from Parpaldian mainland and returned to their respective territories.

## Operational History

### Japanese-Parpaldian War

The Type 93 Anti-Ship missile was first used during the Japanese-Parpaldian War, where it easily sunk ships-of-the-line while they were moored in port. It was also used to take out the Dragon Carriers as well. As a result, the Parpaldia Empire's entire naval forces were decimated.

### New World War

It was again utilized to great effect during the New World War against the Gra Valkas Empire's Great Fleet, decimating the 2nd Advance Fleet. To counter its threat, the 1st Advance Fleet deployed prototype jammers to throw up flares and chaff. However, they proved to be too primitive to fool the missiles and the ships were unable to take evasive action, resulting in all ships, except for 9 destroyers, being sunk. The missiles were again used, this time against the Gra Valkan 44th Task Force as it departed from its port in the Riem Kingdom. The missiles were used also during the Liberation of Leifor wherein P-1s armed with ASM-2s destroyed several Gra Valkan carrier task forces, much to the astonishment of the Holy Milishial Empire.

## Trivia

* Name In short ASM-2.
* There is also launcher on land with Jeep.
* It was regarded as a homing fireball by most countries in this New World.
* Following Japan's modifications, most aircraft now can launch Type-93 ASM.
* To deal with heavy armored battleships, all Type-93 anti-ship missiles are replaced with anti-armor warhead instead of high-explosive warheads.

In the meeting room at the Quila Kingdom's royal capital Barrat, the royal noble who oversees foreign affairs, Metsal, greeted Ambassador Payne of the Qua-Toyne Principality who had requested for dialogue due to “urgent matters”. Payne informed him about an emerging country called Japan who visited the Qua-Toyne Principality and opened diplomatic relations. He had coming to request for the Qua-Toyne Principality to mediate that Japan wanted to open diplomatic relations with the Quila Kingdom, but Metsal didn’t understand the description of a “peculiar emerging country”. He talked about Japan's flying object and metal giant ship, making Metsal suddenly shocked which it was unbelievable they would be on the same level as a country from the civilized areas as a superpower. He told him that Japan was transferred here from another world where the Qua-Toyne Principality government still don't know much about Japan.

Metsal became curious about the makeup of non-humans and asked him that Japan could be a new threat. Payne replied that Japan was entirely human, neither any dwarves, beastmen, nor elves, making him worried. He calmly reined in Metsal’s strong tone, telling him that they did not know what Japan was, but Japan's technology had shown interest in the Qua-Toyne Principality. Metsal regained his composure and decided to meet Japan envoys for diplomatic negotiations.

At a later date, a place of discussion was established for the first contact between the Quila Kingdom and Japan.

Yamamoto

**Yamamoto** is the captain of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force Izumo-class helicopter destroyer *Izumo*. He held the rank of Captain on the JMSDF.

## Appearance

In the manga version, Yamamoto is a middle-aged man whose cheeks seem to be slightly softer. He has a gentle eye, but gives his command calmly without changing his expression.

## Chronology

### Rodenius War Arc

Captain Yamamoto was dispatched to the Qua-Toyne Principality with a fleet of 8 destroyers to defend the nation from Louria's 4400 strong 'insurgent' naval fleet. He first sent the *Myokou* forward to demand the Lourians to retreat. When they refused and launched an air attack, Yamamoto ordered the rest of the destroyers forward to engage.

He kept the *Izumo* behind the battle, and eventually ordered the launch of several JGSDF attack helicopters to continue engaging the Lourian fleet. When the enemy finally retreated, he ordered rescue operations commenced for the survivors that had been left behind.
Type-96 Multi-purpose Missile System

The **Type-96 Multi-Purpose Missile System** (96式多目的誘導弾システム) is an Anti-tank/Landing craft missile used by the Japan Ground Self Defense Force (JGSDF). It is the first Japanese missile system that uses a complete digitally controlled interface.

## Background

The Type-96 missile has a large warhead which can destroy most tanks with a direct hit from the top, but it can also be used in an anti-helicopter role. The missile is guided by an operator with an infrared image monitor in the launch vehicle. An optical fiber connects the flying missile's infrared camera and its guidance system. It can also be fired vertically and the fiber-optic cable is paid out from the back of the missile as it flies.

The warhead is too big for use by attack tanks because it is also designed to destroy landing craft (LCAC). Japanese officers estimate that no tank can survive a direct hit to the weak point of its top armor by the Type 96 Multi-Purpose Missile System. This is a result of the missile striking the tank from the top, which is not so heavily armored as the front and side sections of the tank.

It is designed to destroy remote targets before a landing, such as armored fighting vehicles or small landing ships. The gunner carries out target selection and acquisition and the automatic tracker locks onto the image of the target. Tracking commands are relayed to the ground station computer, which sends steering command data up the fiber-optic cable to guide the missile. The gunner can also carry out manual tracking.

## Specification

* **Mass:** 60 kg
* **Length:** about 2000 mm
* **Diameter:** about 160 mm
* **Engine:** Solid Rocket Fuel
* **Operational Range:** over >10 km / 25 km estimate
* **Guidance system:** infrared homing based on Optical fiber Imaging infrared (IIR)

## Service History

### New World War

During the Battle of Malmund Mountains, the Type-96 MPMS was used against the escaping remnants of the 4th Armored Division (Gra Valkas), but the launch position was unknown.
Ruacure

**Ruacure** is a three lion-headed beast that lives in the forests of the Rodenius Continent.

## Appearance

The Ruacure have a lion-like body, three lion heads on a giraffe-like long necks and three tails.

## Abilities

It is said that a single soldier won’t able to defeat it and to exterminate it, one would need an entire company of Knights. However, it is powerless against a Wyvern.

## Chronology

The monster first appeared during the memoirs of the wyvern knight Thanakane. When he was a young boy, he got lost in the forest and encountered a Ruacure. He already accepted his fate at that time to be killed by the beast but a Wyvern Knight arrived and easily killed the Ruacure, thus saving him. Due to that incident, he is fascinated by Wyverns and swear to himself that he will become a Wyvern Knight when he grows up.

## Trivia

* Ruacure was similar to several references, such as three-headed animals known as Cerberus, and also a Chimera where a lion's head is often being depicted as a part of it.
Oyashio-class Submarine

The ***Oyashio* class** is a series of Japanese diesel-electric attack submarines operated by the JMSDF. The submarines entered service in the late 1990s on Earth. The submarines are larger than the earlier *Harushio* class, to provide space for a flank sonar array.

## Description

Just like the Soryu-class submarines, the Oyashio-class are part of the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force (JMSDF) and supposed to be replaced by the former. Although it is considered "old" in Japan, they have undergone improvements before the transfer and also proved to be a potent weapon against all surface navies and submarine forces of the New World. Due to its stealthy nature and long-range arsenals like the Harpoon Missiles and Type 89 Torpedoes, both the *Soryu-class* and *Oyashio-class* have easily outmatch their counterparts in the Gra Valkas Empire, the Cetus-class submarines. Additionally, the crew was also trained to "*stay silent"* as making noise can make the submarine presence detected by sonar, allowing the enemy to attack them.

Santo

**Santo** is a gatekeeper and captain of the Castle Gate Guard of the Calamique Kingdom.

## Chronology

### The Legend of The Dragon

When Mauli Hanman's force invaded the fortress capital of Archul, the airborne knights riding on fire birds begun attacking within the gates. Mauli Hanman's force brought forth Demon Flame Tanks to blast open Gate 1, allowing a large number of beasts into the streets of the capital. The fire birds destroyed the Archul Castle in flames and killed King Brandea. However, the airborne knights were annihilated by the Parpaldian wyvern lords. At that moment, the demon flame tanks reached the gate and unleashed their fireballs at the gate. The castle gate easily caught fire, but its metal sections allowed the gate to stay firmly shut. The great beast Diobehemoth rammed itself into the gate, easily breaking the latches. The flaming tank unit has successfully broken through the outer wall.

At Archul Castle's Gate 2, a ballista bolt found its mark on one of the demon flame tanks, but the ballista bolt bounced off the thick, steel armoring of the tank. The demon flame tank fired off a fireball against the ballista that fired at it from the top of the walls, silencing it and those around it. Gatekeeper Santo cursed at the overwhelming defensive capabilities of their enemies and the uselessness of their attacks. The behemoth of a beast, the twelve-horned beasts, and the lesser granman lizards were pouring out of the outer gate and forming up ranks in the flat, open ground separating the two walls. The legions of hundreds of beasts would overwhelm their troops once they broke through the inner gate. The gatekeepers had already taken a beating, losing more than half of their men to the fireball attacks from the flaming tanks. His men continued to die as they tried to attack their attackers in vain. Once the gate is broken through, Santo had already given up in his mind that he would be living through the demise of Calamique.

However, he started to hear the sound of the air and looked towards the JGSDF three AH-64D Apache attack helicopters and five AH-1S Cobra attack helicopters flying above the Archul. He sank further into despair at the emergence of the new threats. They locked the target onto the beasts and the demon flame tanks and unleashed the TOW anti-tank missiles against them. The beasts were easily crushed in explosions by an attack from the unknown, insect-like objects. Gatekeeper Santo couldn’t believe what he was seeing. The great beast Diobehemoth, upon getting hit by a Hydra rocket, instantly died from the resulting explosion before falling to the ground in a loud thud, bathing the ground with large swathes of black blood. Santo stared in shock at the sight of the beasts being one-sidedly slaughtered. The beasts that had survived the onslaught of rockets were stricken by fear, panicking and settling into one place.

Then, nine attack helicopters killed the remaining beasts using a 20 mm Gatling gun. The soldiers standing on top of the walls and Gatekeeper Santo couldn’t detract themselves from the scene due to their shock and awe.
Takanami-Class Destroyer

The ***Takanami*-class destroyer** (たかなみ型護衛艦, *Takanami-gata-goei-kan*) is a class of destroyer serving with the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force (JMSDF). This warship is the slightly modified class of second-generation, general-purpose destroyers of the JMSDF.

## Description

The hull design is generally based on the one of the *Murasame*-class. However, as a part of weapons was changed, the internal structure has also been changed. And it was said that the large lattice mast was degrading its stealthiness in the *Murasame*-class, so in this class, it was considered to change to two small masts, but it was not implemented.

Although its displacement become slightly increased, there is no change in its main engines, as it is not a big difference that has little effect on the performance of the ship.

## Specification

* **Type:** General-purpose destroyer

Second Civilization Area

**Second Civilization Area** is one of the Three Civilized Areas in the New World located on the west side of the world, consisting of the entire Mu Continent and its surrounding seas. It is in the waters west of this civilized sphere that the Gra Valkas Empire, another transferred country like Japan, is located

## Description

The continent holds two of the five Superpowers of the New World, the second power Mu and the fifth power Leifor. Countries that are considered as Quasi-Powers are also found here like Nigrat Union and Magicaraich Community.

## Technology

These countries are considered to have technological capabilities equivalent to early to mid 18th Century to early 20th Century Earth. Generally they are considered to be inferior to the First Civilization Area which is considered to be at the level of WW2 technology, but superior to the Third Civilization Area which is considered to be at the level of 18th century to early 19th century Earth, just before the start of the Industrial Revolution. Also, although most of the countries are magic-based countries, their understanding of science and mechanical technology is quite high than the other Civilized Areas due to the presence of the mechanical civilization Mu.

## Economy

The Second Civilization is considered to be rich, as Leifor protected island nations such as the Paganda Kingdom and the Irnetia Kingdom, trade has flourished.

## Chronology

### Before arrival of Japan

The entire landmass of the Second Civilization Area once belonged entirely to Mu, and was transferred to the New World from Earth. Over multiple millennium, warfare between Mu and other inhabitants of the New World has caused the continent to be split up into multiple political entities.

### Before arrival of Gra Valkas Empire

At first, it seemed like the relationship between countries were considered to be good and the situation was more stable than in the Third Civilization Area. However, the current situation went downhill as the Gra Valkas Empire arrived and managed to control Leifor, beginning to intimidate the surrounding countries.

### New World War

Things took a toll for the worse as the World Union Army (lead first by the Holy Mirishial Empire) was defeated, and after the attack at Otaheit by the Gra Valkas Empire, the war had just expanded the towards the other Second Civilization countries. However, now with the help of Japan, the Second Civilization is beginning to push Gra Valkas out of the Second Civilization.

With the Liberation of Leifor having crippled Gra Valkas operations in its former colony, combined with the death of most of its soldiers, the continent is now very nearly completely free of foreign invaders.

Thunder Dragons

## Thunder Dragon

**Thunder Dragon** is a type of attributed dragon with independent wings and front legs.

## Description

Thunder Dragons are a type of attributed dragon and true dragon type with independent wings and front legs.

The whole body is covered with black and hard scales, and can fly faster than the wind dragon. Due to its tendency to fly during stormy weather, it lives mainly in the southern world. The squeal is similar to thunder, and emits purple during flight because of its magical power.

Communicating by using inherent dragon abilities is possible, but it is difficult even for the Dragonfolk to control because of their temperament. Therefore, it is basically does not allow people to mount it and cannot be used as a weapon. Even if you can get on in the first place, the wind pressure it generates during flight is so great that it cannot be withstand by a living human.
Winged People

The **Winged People** are species of winged humanoid that inhabits the New World.

## Description

The Winged People look just like humans but possess wings that sprout from their backs, one half is back and the other half is white. They claimed to be the direct descendants of the founders of the Ravernal Empire, the Light Winged People. As first, they have light wings just like their ancestors but as time goes by, their angelic light wings became stubby little wings made of flesh and blood due to the "diluted" blood and low magic. The Winged People are situated today in the Annonrial Empire of the Branchel Continent.

## Abilities

It is stated by a Nosgorath unit that the Winged People are weaker version of the Light Winged People due to the practice of inter-breeding with other species like human, elves or beastmen by left-behind Light Winged People to relinquish their lost number and survive from the prosecution of the denizens of the New World. Although their magical power is higher than most of the other races of the New World, they are weak enough that they are helpless against Nosgorath units.

Stugh

**Stugh** is the commander of the task force given the duty of the Aruni Defense of the Parpaldia Empire in northern region border near Aruni.

## Personality

Stugh is the responsibility man in charge of the defense of Aruni, the provincial and border city on the northern region of Parpaldia Empire.

## Chronology

### Japanese-Parpaldian War

After the rebel armies took the Kurth territory, stemming from the declaration of war from the Alliance of the 73 called the Seventy-Three Country Coalition Army, the front lines of the war had now come to the northern region of the Parpaldia Empire, near Aruni. The northern military ground base was filled with people running around in a fluster.

There was a situation report screamed from one of the magical communicators. Commander Stugh heard from the dragon knight on patrol spotted over 5,000 soldiers gathering near Hill Weeth and requested immediate support. He ordered to send twenty-one dragon knights there. He carefully monitored the progress of the battle.

During the dragon battle, the surviving Parpaldian dragon knights were trying to regroup and sent a report back to base via their magic communications. Stugh heard from the dragon knight that they were ambushed by over a hundred Riem wyverns and already lost twelve dragon knights. He asked him absolutely that the enemies were from the Riem Kingdom. The dragon knight had no doubt who they were, but there are too many of them. The quantity of Riem wyverns versus the quality of Parpaldian wyvern lords: a battle between dragon and dragon was unfolding high up in the sky.

After their aerial support had lost, the imperial forces continued to lose ground to the coalition army before finally being wiped out. It is unknown if he was killed in action.
Sios Kingdom

**Sios Kingdom** (シオス王国, *Shiosu Ōkoku*) is an island country located south of the Philades Continent. The country is much smaller than Altaras Kingdom.

## Chronology

### Pre-Arrival of Japan

Just like most Eastern countries, the kingdom is subjected to Parpaldian harassment to the point that they almost surrendered their sovereignty and independence to Parpaldia. However, after the kingdom established diplomatic relations with Japan and received technological improvements without any harassment, the kingdom finally stood up against the harassment of the empire.

### Great Eastern Countries Conference

During the conference, the kingdom gave good remarks for Japan. Since the Sios Kingdom has not attacked them, and Japan in kind has not attacked them. Unlike the Parpaldia Empire, Japan does not lock their technology behind gifts of slaves or land. As for the case with the Louria Kingdom, Sios Kingdom believes it to be an exceptional case, since Japanese would have starved if food exports from Qua-Toyne were to have stopped.

### Japanese-Parpaldian War

During the war against Parpaldia, Japan had refurbished the airport there and called it Goma Airport Base. Also, during the Battle of Altaras Kingdom, the JSDF had constructed a temporary base in Sios.

## Economy

Sios became prosperous as a transit point of goods coming from the Third Civilization Area and the Rodenius Continent.

## Foreign Relations

### Japan

Sios and Japan's diplomatic relations are considered to be in good terms since Japan improved their facilities and technology without having strings attached unlike the Parpaldians. Sios even allowed Japan to launch air attacks on Parpaldia from their territory, despite the obvious risk that posed.

### Louria Kingdom

Louria used to be Sios' greatest trading partner but the country was defeated by the Japanese. Japan replaced them as Sios' greatest trading partner.

## Notes

* The Royal Palace of the Sios Kingdom bears great resemblance to the Taj Mahal in India.

Sius

**Sius** is the general of Parpaldia Imperial Army and Commander-in-Chief of Imperial Fleet that invaded the Altaras Kingdom and Fenn Kingdom.

## Appearance

In the manga version, Sius is a middle-aged one-eyed man due to a sword wound to his right eye. His outfit resembles a sort of navy admiral frockcoat uniform.

## Personality

Sius has a reputation as a cold-blooded and ruthless tactician. He seems to be a person who can make relatively calm judgments, and just before the battle with the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force. He was skeptical of Captain Darda's question, who confidently answered that they were no match for the Holy Mirishial Empire’s Zeroth Fleet due to the pride of the Empire.

## Chronology

### Japanese-Parpaldian War

Sius was aboard on a Super Phishanus class 120-gun Magic Ship-of-the-line *Pall*. He succeeded in occupying the Altaras Kingdom, but was sunk in the naval battle off Nishinomiyako in the Fenn Kingdom during the Battle of Fenn Kingdom.

However, he managed to survive and was captured by Japan. Afterward, he was transferred to Tokyo Detention Center, where he shared the same room with Reckmeyer, who had been detained in Japan before him. After the end of hostilities between Parpaldia and Japan, while other POWs were allowed to return, he was suspected of being involved in the massacre of Japanese tourists and was kept in Japan and handed over to the Metropolitan Police Department. It was later proven that he was not involved in the massacre, but he was the only one who was delayed several months in returning home.

## Trivia

* In the manga version, while the fleet of a few ships was anchored at the docks of Nishinomiyako, they were destroyed by the rapid-fire naval gun of the JMSDF and surrendered to Shihan, the sword king of Fenn. Sius was not to engage in the naval battle in the light novel version and was dismissed with almost no show for his service.
