Galactic Empire in New World

Part 8 Chapter 27

Same day at 13:00,
Elysia, 150 km from the capital of the Kingdom of Irnetia, Kilcrus
Myto Empire Expeditionary Force Flagship, Yamato Class Battleship 'Veragi'
Main Bridge

Battleship 'Veragi' had now reached point M and was just circling around to wait for the right time to carry out the attack. According to the calculation, they could carry out the attack between 14:00 and 18:00, while the attacks of the other countries of the 11-country conference would take place in the morning of the next day.

Admiral Grenker was currently on the main bridge, half asleep in his chair because there was nothing to do. All the airspeeders had been prepared for the attack, so it was only a matter of time. Admiral Grenker planned to launch the attack at 17:00, which would last all night.

Suddenly a communications officer came to his place.

"Admiral, we have received news from the Mu Empire and confirmed from orbital assets that they have begun an attack on Paganda." said the communications officer.

As an ally of the Myto Empire, the Mu Empire informed of the 'Backstabbed' operation but did not tell what time the operation would be carried out as it could not be determined due to various factors.

"Oh, so soon? We thought they would do it after dark or near dark like they did in Gra Valkas," said Admiral Grenker, annoyed.

"That's right, admiral. They started their attack almost an hour ago." said the communications officer.

"If they start attacking, we should also start attacking. Don't let the Gra Valkas in Irnetia get ready to be attacked." said the XO.

"That's right, we have to start attacking now. Sound Battlestation," said Admiral Grenker.

"Yes, admiral!" said the XO.

"They're really so bold to attack during the day." Said the captain of the 'Veragi', Captain Artos.

Meanwhile, the battlestation alarm sound began to be heard on the 'Veragi' and then heard on all task forces belonging to the Myto Empire.

"Well, it appears that they became more aggressive and learned how to fight after successfully completing the 'Firecracker' and 'Tsunami' operations. That's the learning curve they've gone through. But what they haven't learned is when the enemy can counterattack them," said Admiral Grenker.

"That's right. But it seems that they are quite cautious and conservative in preparing contingency plans. For example, although it seems that the 'Firecracker' and 'Tsunami' operations were huge, in reality they only used less than 50% of the Mu Empire's naval power. Additionally, with our assistance, their production capability increased rapidly and is still increasing. Especially now that they set wartime production." Captain Artos spoke.

"Central command shares this belief, yet they have yet to face defeat. Unlike the HME who has already suffered a defeat with Gra Valkas during the battle at West Island." Admiral Grenker said.

"We'll see how they react." said the XO.

"Right, right now we should focus on our work. Is our fleet ready for battle?" asked Admiral Grenker formally.

"Battleship Veragi and her escort fleet are fully combat ready and waiting for your command." Captain Artos spoke formally.

"Alright, let's start our work. Order the launch of our airspeeder!" said Admiral Grenker.

"Yes, admiral." said the XO.

Everyone then went back to work to best prepare for the attack.
