## Chronology

### New World War Arc

After the combined base Lars Filmyna in Leifor was bombarded by JSDF airstrikes, the Gra Valkas Empire 2nd Task Force in Irnetia was called to reinforce Leifor. The surprise attack by JMSDF submarines caused the morale of the crews to be at an all-time low, and some had gone insane.

Fleet Commander Akhail was chatting with Captain Eliga on the bridge of the battleship *Kornephoros* where he could look around. Akhail explained to him about Japanese submarines by the earlier lightning strike from the Great Fleet in the Great Naval Invasion of Japan. The soldiers were spreading rumors that Japanese submarines could dive more than 500 meters with their speed exceeds 20 knots, sail silently underwater, use guided torpedoes and fire airborne guided bombs from underwater. Eliga was worried about the unintelligible rumors that were spreading among the soldiers because the JMSDF's lightning attack caused severe damage and could not be supplemented at all. Akhail dismissed the rumors of the Japanese submarine's monstrous performance as ridiculous.

However, with the deployment of the two most advanced submarine killers specialized in destruction, which could emit sound waves (sound waves in the water) and use the reflected waves to determine the location of the submarine, Akhail and Eliga had hopes and expectations for these.

The young officer interrupted them during chatting and reported to them that the base Lars Filmyna had been attacked on a massive scale and lost air control over the area around Leiforia. Commander Fantare had asked them to be on alert off the coast of Leifor. Fleet Commander Akhail ordered twenty ships of the Carrier Task Force to depart heading for Leifor.

After the guided torpedoes attack destroyed the aircraft carriers *Ogma* and *Smeltorius* as the fleet was unable to detect JMSDF submarines, Akhail and Eliga ever witnessed guided torpedoes for the first time. Realizing it was suicidal to continue tracking JMSDF submarines, Akhail ordered massive drop of depth charges to create massive acoustic disruption to prevent JMSDF submarines from tracking the fleet while the fleet made their escape to Leifor. However, they received communication from the homeland to intercept twenty-three ships of the Holy Milishial Empire Death Bar Fleet and ten ships of JMSDF 1st Escort Flotilla heading toward his position. Due to the order was absolute, Akhail and Eliga steered the remaining ten ships of his fleet to attack the World Union Fleet except one destroyer *Sareen* was left behind as a rescue ship.

Akhail received a transmission from Fleet Commander Tachion of the Holy Milishial Empire Death Bar Fleet to warn and demand their surrender, but he denied it. Akhail, Eliga, and his associates were brimming with hopes of regaining their footing against their rival, the Holy Milishial Empire, plus the fact that Japan, did not participate. Under Tachion's command, the Orichalcum-class magic battleship *Cosmo* launched three Ultima-I SSM Guided Magic Warheads at the three battleships of the Gra Valkas fleet. The glowing aura-clad munitions descended straight from the sky into the two battleship *Phnol* and *Majal* and hit them in an explosion. Eliga was shocked and felt helpless to the power that seemed to evaporate with just one shot. Then the guided light munition descended straight into the flagship *Kornephoros*. Various anti-aircraft guns spewed fire, but none of them hit the guided light munition.

At the next moment, a guided light munition hit the Orion-class battleship *Kornephoros*. The fierce glowing explosion that enveloped the ship tore the battleship apart in an instant, killing Fleet Commander Akhail and Captain Eliga along with thousands of other sailors on the three battleships. The last guided light munition that fired annihilated a cruiser, and the remaining three cruisers and three destroyers were outranged enormously by the bombardment of equally terrifying main battery on the Orichalcum-class magic battleship *Cosmo*.
