A Chilly Summoning [Discontinued, rewritten in another book]

Volume 1 - Chapter 2: Making Contact

5 kilometres south of Parfeski, Northern Ocean
September 10, 2022, 9:30 A.M

It has been a day since they've been transferred. After the announcement by the president of Chiruna telling everyone that they're not on Gadria (Earth) anymore, some people panicked while the rest just accepted their fates.

Currently, the Chirunan Navy, authorized by the government, is going to try and contact the closest civilization. The nation is self sufficient in terms of animal products such as fish, milk and meat but they relied on trades from other nations for grains like wheat.

They will try to contact a civilization south of Chiruna which had flying lizards or "wyverns" as some people called it. The fleet consists of 3 Stosscl-class corvettes (see reference below) and 6 Ichsal-class "light corvettes" (see reference below).

On 9:35 A.M, the fleet departed from the coast of Parfeski and head towards the southern landmass. Everyone on the fleet were quite nervous about meeting the locals. Who knows what they are capable off? Around 15 minutes have passed since their departure and they finally spotted something.

A fleet of ships consisting of 12 medieval ships.

It was straight out of a fairytale. This was the proof that they are in a different world. Admiral Arklan Larnsson, the commanding officer of the fleet, thought of how communicate to the medieval fleet. It's highly unlikely that they would understand morse code so the only way left to communicate is through a speaker on his ship.

He grabbed a microphone and spoke:
"Attention, foreign vessels! We are from the Republic of Chiruna and we've come to establish diplomatic relations with you! We would like to invite your highest ranking officer to our ship! We mean no harm!".
He repeated that two times.

He hoped that they understand their language. To his suprise, two small rowboats were dispatched from the fleet, meaning that the locals here could understand their language.

After two minutes, the rowboats reached his vessel. The rowboats contained what seem to be an officer and 11 soldiers holding spears. Larnsson greeted the locals, saying "Welcome aboard CNS Stosscl. I am the commanding officer of this ship and fleet, Admiral Arklan Larnsson. Pleasure to meet you."

The local officer replied "Pleasure to meet you too, Admiral Larnsson. My name is Captain Ardial Julius, commanding officer of the 14th Royal Marinsan Fleet."

Then, a man came from the bridge, "Oh, and this is our diplomat, Javí Karlsson", said Larnsson as he introduced a diplomat.

Javí cleared his throat and spoke, "Let's cut to the chase. We're from the Republic of Chiruna, located around 80 kilometres north of here. We're here to establish diplomatic relations with your nation after an event happened to us yesterday" said Larnsson.

"Republic of Chiruna? I've never heard of such nation before" said Captain Ardial.

"Oh. Well, yesterday, we were... transferred... to this world. Basically, we are not native to this world" replied Javí. He knew that such story would sound like a myth to everyone.

"A transferred nation? That sounds like it came out of a fairytale! But, that does explain why your ships have this weird design so I'll believe you for now", said Ardial.

Javí expected them to not believe the story, but didn't expect them to not be hostile towards them.

Javí continued, "After the incident, we lost contact from our trading partners and we're currently in need of grains like wheat, rice and corn. So we're hoping in exchange of us establishing diplomatic relations, we'll be getting a good source of grains from your nation."

Ardial replied, "I'm pretty sure our nation can support you with grains. Our nation has been blessed by the gods and our farmlands are incredibly fertile."

"That's good to know. I think we should continue our talks at your nation", said Javí.

"Okay then. I'll relay what happened here to my superiors", he turned to his soldiers "Men! Where is my manacomm?", he asked his soldiers.

While Ardial was talking to his men, Javí couldn't help but wonder. What is a mancomm?

This would mark the first contact between Chiruna and the rest of the New World.
