The fleet of ships sailed through the air, slowing hovering towards the barrier. Walking to the bridge of his own flagship, the man adorned in full Galian armor minus the helmet tensed up. Today was the day. The day the barrier that separates Earth from the rest of its mass of land is broken. The day those on the other part of the world are introduced to their unknown brothers and sisters.
Accompanying the man were several members of the Galian Royal Guard. The man himself wasn't royalty, but was a member of the military sent to lead the mission.
The guards wore a set of Royal Galian armor. Looking medieval like, but also with a sense of cleanliness and refinement that the medieval ages didn't possess. The armor itself was white with several markings engraved on it in an exquisite pattern. From helmet to greaves. It had no visor to look through, no holes in the armor in the case of chemical weapons or gases were released. On the back of their armor sat a white cape, adorned with navy blue lining. In the center of the cape sat the Galian insignia, a star with two swords crossed.
The guards carried a variety of weapons consisting of spears, rifles, and even a few bows. At each of their side was a sheathed sword. The tips of the spears held an aura around them, the metal glowing the color of the aura. There are green tips, blue tips, and red tips.
The man turned to the guards.
"You remember your orders, correct? The barrier will be down soon, and with that, the world will know of our existence."
The men nodded in union. They memorized their orders, as expected of one of their stature. The one in the front spoke for the rest. His helmet had wings where the ears would've normally been. His cape held a gold and blue lining.
"Yes Lord Commander, we have our orders. We will protect the new Emperor, even if it means our death." confirmed the Captain, his helmet muffling his already quiet voice.
Nodding, the man turned back towards the door to the bridge, guarded by several men in the regular Galian military. Their armor was a weaker and less refined version of the Royal Guard armor, minus the cape.
One of the guards carried a spear while the other had a rifle ready. They saluted the man and his entourage as he walked by.
Peering out the front bridge window as he stepped up on the platform that held the Captain's chair, he grinned slightly with his hands trembling excitedly. The Captain looked up from her seat, her charcoal hair waving slightly. She gave an abrupt nod then returned her gaze to the window.
"We're entering primitive Earthling territory." The navigator said from his chair, his eyes observing the console in front of him.
"Just keep an eye out, their militaries will be on edge when they spot a fleet of advance technological warships sailing through the clouds. I want Talons and a few Fighter squadrons ready for take-off. Go to yellow alert." The Captain ordered, her eyes glued on the window.
The communications officer relayed her orders through his mic, "Yellow alert has been issued, all pilots head to your designated areas. Lancer-Royal and Talon-Bravo squadrons are to head to your units immediately."
The officer repeated the instructions once more.
The Lord commander crossed his arms and started tapping his fingers against his forearms.
"Nervous, are we?" The Captain turned towards him, noticing the habit that the man always did when he was on edge or excited.
"I am, it has been far too long that Galia has been without an Emperor. With Algrita acting up, tensions are high. We must secure our Emperor. Its been half a decade since Galia has had an Emperor."
The Captain nodded. "Agreed, hence why the Council dispatched us to secure him. We have a company of the Royal Knights and Royal Lancers with us, everything will be fine."
"It was Team Sixteen that identified him, wasn't it?" The man asked, looking down and examining several threads of the Captain's charcoal hair.
"If I recall right, it was." The captain answered simply and then added, "Don't worry, they're elites. They'll take care of him."
"I hope so." He stated, "Galia needs our Emperor."
"We're coming to get you, Sebastian Larouge."
