CH27 Diplomacy in Sios

Sios Republic

Capital City Goma

In the flashy city of Goma the central resort castle had double the guard. The family heads must be meeting, all of them. Inside the opulent castle in one of the top levels 5 people of power sat in their seats, their collective jewelry reflecting enough light to equal another lantern.

"Well guys this thing right here is tricky." started Franco, Hirnanze family head.

"Just 'tricky', Franco, we're in a full blown standoff with Altaras!" chastised Veloka, Ziska family head. "We should have never pushed it this far."

"Come now Veloka, don't tell me age has dulled your sense of ambition." commented Koro, Inzo family head. Veloka simply scoffed and sipped her wine.

"She does make a point Koro, you may be too young to see but this is teetering on an open conflict. Sios isn't exposed unless Altaras wants to draw the action of the Parapaldians, but we do risk losing our progress and assets in Altaras for the foreseeable future." replied Marsao, Hengiam family head.

"I still think that if we just walk the tightrope well enough that we can wait this whole situation out." said Rodmun, Broberg family head.

"Koro, do you agree with Rodmun?" asked Franco.

"Hell no, we need to escalate while they're still disorganized and accelerate the plan. I say its now or never, before Parapaldia looks too far into this and ruins everything." Koro casually stabbed a knife into the table.

"I think you're too heavily underestimating Altaras' strength and Parapaldias will to act. Do you think Parapaldia won't just attack after they figure out what we did. And do you really thing we would win a violent take over of even just one part of Altaras? I mean come on don't be stupid." Veloka said.

"Well then it seems we've found the problem, what to do next. We have 2 for caution, 2 for walking the sword's edge, and 1 for aggression." Franco pondered aloud.

"I'd be willing to go for your plan Rodmun, it would just need to be tempered in a few areas." Veloka replied.

"Well if that's the case then I might as well do my own thing. I will not have the Inzo family be strangled by your unwillingness to commit." Koro complained.

"Oh don't be ridiculous, you'll only guarantee your failure and heighten ours!" Marsao countered, just then a messenger knocked."What?"

"President Andri is here with news."

"Send him." The heavy wood door opened and President Andri walked into the room and gave a light bow.

"I believe that the new summoned nation that's been all the buzz in Rodenius is headed here. They are coming in on huge metal ships just like the ones described in the stories. Only small traces of an odd magic is detected from their fleet." Anrdri explained. For a moment they all shared glances. Eventually, Rodmun signalled for his plate of fruit to be taken away and cleared his throat.

"These people possess weapons that only superpowers stronger than Parapaldia have been known to field. On top of that, the rumors about them being weak in magic also seems to be true so I guess that they are similar to Mu. This gives credit to the claim that they are summoned. Besides, how else does a superpower level nation just appear out of nowhere. Andri, you will welcome their envoy and escort them here."

Viridian Fleet

Sea of Parpa

Cutting through the ocean waves, Sios crawling further into view, 3 Viridian destroyers and 2 submarines sailed fourth with purpose to their destination. Aboard the lead destroyer Rocket Executive Pryce stood idly observing the bridge. A cold and mean man and former Gym Leader turned Executive, Pryce was a powerful train yet a frail individual. He hated the idea of doing field work, they had people for that. The whole reason he requested to be the Minister of Internal Affairs was so he could have a relatively low action and quite administrative and advisor role. Yet here he was doing Tyrael's job. Soon, the fleet docked into the Goma harbor and he could finally finish the mission. He disembarked the shit on a small aerial platform.
