La Mu office
The following day, at 09:00

La Mu held a small meeting with the prime minister and representatives from the three branches of the Mu Empire's armed forces. La Mu wanted a progress report on the war with Gra Valkas.

After engaging in a lengthy conversation before delving into the main topic, the prime minister finally began to report on the progress of the war with Gra Valkas.

"Report your honor. The entire border is in our hands. There are no more pockets of resistance from Gra Valkas on the border. However, our movements have also slowed down due to the large number of prisoners we have to process." said the prime minister.

"Hmm, that is also a problem. Were our troops able to link up with the forces that descended on the Lendam coast?" asked La Mu.

"It's still far away, sire. With this delay, it may still be 3–4 days away," said the representative of the army.

"Oh, doesn't that mess up the schedule of our operation?" asked La Mu.

"Even with the delay, it is still in accordance with the plan, Your Majesty. That's because some parts of the operation are ahead of schedule." The prime minister replied.

"Good, the important thing is that we must quickly complete our military operations in Leifor before Gra Valkas can recover from his shock," said La Mu.

"That's right, and we must inflict as much damage as possible on Gra Valkas." The prime minister spoke.

"So, how is the battle around Leiforia progressing at the moment?" La Mu asked.

"Very encouraging. This morning, I received news that our troops had reached the outskirts of Leiforia, but they eventually had to retreat again because the approaching troops did not have enough strength. But in a few hours, other elements of our forces will join, and we will make another assault on Laiforia," said the representative of the army.

"We also managed to capture two additional airfields around Leiforia last night. This morning, we started cleaning and repairing them. By tomorrow, our aircraft should be able to cover all of Leifor," said the air force representative.

"Oooh, that's excellent news. That gives us complete control over the skies above Leifor, rendering all Gra Valkas air forces in Leifor paralyzed. With that, our troops will be able to move without fear of air attacks from the Gra Valkas' side." La Mu said it with a pleased look on his face.

"That's right, your highness. That will speed up our operations in Leifor. It also means that we can start reducing the number of our aircraft in Leifor since we don't need to conduct too many air patrols," said the representative of the air force.

"Right, how many aircraft do you think we can reduce?" said La Mu.

"We can withdraw almost all of our jets. So we will use propeller aircraft, including our existing Marin aircraft," said the air force representative.

"Good. We will be able to place our jets either in Paganda or Irnetia and will be able to threaten all ship movements from Gra Valkas." La Mu said.

"You can actually guess what we might do, sire." said the prime minister, who praised La Mu.

"Then what about our operations in Gra Valkas?" asked La Mu to the representative of the navy.

"Currently, our ships are approaching Paganda, but there are some light carriers trailing the main fleet. They are still conducting long-range attacks on the cities near Ragna to give the illusion that our ships are still around Ragna." said the navy representative.
