The Eagle Rises in a new world

The one called God of War(1)

Runepolis, Holy Mirishial Empire

"Excuse me, Mr. Arneus."

The Intelligence Bureau was where info vital to the empire's management was collected. Wearing a tense expression, bureau staff member Lydolka enters the bureau director's office. Lydolka is the one primarily responsible for the Third Civilization Area and the general part of the world east of the empire. A brilliant staff member with many achievements under his belt, Lydolka was a special case who could directly enter the bureau director's office which regular staff members don't have permission to do.

"Is something the matter?"

The Intelligence Bureau is aware that the Gra Valkas Empire has deployed a massive air contingent as part of its attack on Russia. It was about time that the results of the first wave of attack came out. Arneus was pondering on this matter when Lydolka entered the room. With a tense expression, Lydolka handed the details while he gave an oral summary.

"The empire has sent a massive force of over 800 planes to Russia.There are naturally fighters and attack aircraft among the force but noteworthy are 200 or so bombers that are part of the Super Heavy Bombing Unit which had come all the way from their homeland. These SNB are aircraft which can carry a huge amount of bombs.Since we don't have any equivalents it is hard to describe this aircraft but it possesses an airframe which allows it to fly at ultra high altitudes. It's carrying capacity is subject to weight limits brought about by its mechanical nature; in its fully-loaded state, it still doesn't amount to the firepower of the Pal Chimera."

"There are over 800 of them,huh? No matter how many aircraft Russia has left,they would lose yes? Also, if our Alpha-3 air superiority fighters engage these things in combat, we will be able to substantially shoot some of them down,right?"

Arneus changes the topic.

"If you'll allow me to conclude... Much of the Gra Valkas Empire's air force was shot down over the Sea of Sibeira and their base in the Kingdom of Riem was also destroyed and Riem was been occupied by Russian Troops.The 50 ships that were deployed towards the Homeland of Russia have also been annihilated.They've successfully defended themselves. Furthermore, the Parpaldia Empire, which had also been attacked,sent a fleet to the Kingdom of Riem and completely destroyed the rest of their armies from the magic Ironclads."

"And how much did the Russian Army... suffer?"

"We are still figuring it out but, we haven't gotten to the bottom of it yet but some sources say that they suffered...less than 4000 dead..."

"What? Could their strength be far, far more than we expected?"

"We've already assessed them to be substantially strong but I think it's extremely likely that they're far stronger than what we expected.It's believed that 440 ships under the Advance Fleet of the Gra Valkas Empire have already clashed with Russia but our Intel haven't been able to discern the whereabouts of those 440 ships...It's unimaginable but I think that..."

"No...A fleet far larger than the one the World Union Fleet clashed with was annihilated?! Not defeated but a complete wipeout?! It seems that no matter how much we revise our assessment of Russia,they always seem to break it!"

"I've also come to that point myself. Another possibility is that they might have slipped out of our patrols.We will gather more info on the matter.There's 2 more points.1 is that it seems that their 1000-ship fleet has pushed east without resupplying at Newland."

"1000... What an unbelievable number... What's the last one?"

"It looks like Russia stills refused our help,stating that they don't want help."
