One week later.
Palpadia Empire, Capital City, Esthirant.
Paradis Palace, throne room.

Emperor Ludius looked at the map spread out on the floor in front of his throne. Arde, the Commander-in-Chief of the Parpaldia Empire's Armed Forces, was explaining the strategy to take to attack the Kingdom of Altarus. After being delayed for a few days due to bad weather, the Palpadia Empire's troops will depart for the kingdom of Altarus tomorrow to carry out Operation "Thunder". The meeting was attended by all the dignitaries of the Palpadia Empire, including all the heads of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd foreign departments.

Arde explained the scenario of attacking the kingdom of Altarus.

"Our troops will be divided into 3 parts. The first part is the main navy, which contains 200 warships and 20 wyvern carriers. The second section is the main amphibious force of 150 troop carriers carrying 30,000 troops, 50 warships, and 12 wyvern carriers. The third part is logistics, containing 100 cargo ships, 50 troop carriers carrying 12,000 troops, 20 warships, and four wyvern carriers," said Arde.

"Why are we dividing our army into three parts? asked Emperor Ludius.

"Because we hope to divide the battle into two parts. The first, main naval force will entice and destroy the Altarus empire's warships, or at the very least divert Altarus' ships from fighting our troop ships. Part of the Wyverns can be used to attack the mainland and, if possible, the capital city of Le Brias. The second battle, occurred when the ships of the Altarus kingdom were mostly facing the ships of our main naval force, and then our second fleet, the main amphibious force, carried out amphibious assaults and also carried out shore bombardments. Meanwhile, the third part, namely logistics, will only land and approach if our troops have succeeded in controlling the beach. " Arde replied. "The landing was made 20 kilometers west of Le Brias, not directly in the capital city of Le Brias, because it had to be heavily guarded."

"I see. It's a good enough plan. " said Emperor Ludius.

"When the troops land and start moving towards Le Brias, it is hoped that the Altarus royal troops in Le Brias will be divided, most of them will move to face our troops, so that the security in Le Brias will be weakened, at that time we can land the marines in our warship from main naval force to quickly take control of the palace of the 14th King Taara. " Ardes said. "We will get intel from our representative office there. "

"Hmm, I see. " Emperor Ludius said while looking at the map.

"We hope that within one day we can take control of at least Le Brias and, if possible, capture the 14th King of Taara so that the Altarus kingdom government collapses. " continued Arde. "If that happens, then our army will easily overwhelm Altarus. "

"Good, very good plan. Try to capture and, if necessary, kill the entire royal family of Altarus. By doing so, the casualties in our army would be lower, and we could continue our attack on the Kingdom of Fenn without needing any further preparations. " said Emperor Ludius. "Is there any chance we can attack without the Altarus royal side noticing? "

"We have made preparations secretly, and our intelligence has also tried to eliminate the opponent's intelligence parties. We should have an element of surprise. We will declare war only two hours before the attack begins." Arde replied.

"Will our troops remaining here still be enough to defend us if parties who have cooperated with the kingdom of Altarus attack us while our troops attack the kingdom of Altarus? " asked Emperor Ludius.

"We have a total of more than 900 warships in the regular army, and nearly 100 warships that, although they are old, are still capable in the oversight army. Therefore, we still have a lot of military reserves to face every danger that threatens our country. " Arde replied.
