"I hope that ease your worry, Miss Irellet. Just like I promised." Ramirez look at the worried expression of Irellet before leaving for the bridge.
Soon after being left, three of them were left behind including Gonzales which the two are comfortable with.
The two sigh out of relief and look at Gonzales with thankful eyes.
"You have our earnest gratitude once more, we, and the people of Yggdrasil will not forget such thing." Both of them bow and give their utmost respect as they give their thanks to the one who helped them convince their leader.
"I didn't do it for free, remember? I hope you keep up to your promise too." Gonzales wink at them.
"Of course, trade relationship is also crucial for both countries who recently are at war. I will be sure to abdicate my brother and bring back my father so we can proceed to create newly formed relation."
"I hope so too. But, it will always be decided by the people of our nation and our president." The wry smile of his can never be so obvious as Christine read the thought of the worried man.
She found out that their leader was chosen through vote which they call democracy, however, recently the Philippines' newly formed government are different from the other.
No one knows what it is, not communism nor democracy, some of the western call it fascism but they deny it soon.
But Christine knows it's just their love for their country, Nationalism.
"But isn't Mister Ramirez forever be your president til he dies?"
"Yes, til he dies, but because of his recklessness, we are thinking it's far more sooner than we think so we're still preparing for the worse."
"I see. No wonder you all have advance sorcery, your wisdom is far greater than ours."
Gonzales simply nod and gave them a wry smile after hearing a weird word that should be describe as technology. However, he will not interfere to the knowledge of this people as it will only be interesting to see their reaction once they learn about it.
After ending the conversation, Gonzales bid them farewell and left the room to follow the president.
The two are now left behind.
"What now, sis? We lost to them and now we're leading them to our country. We will inevitably lost and the humiliation we will face in front of brother is big."
"No, I'll be sure to bring fault to our brother because of his greed. I'll be sure of it." Irellet reassure her sister and gave her a hug as both of them rest.
Outside the cabin, the bridge is located at the right side of the carrier where the current president is currently giving orders.
Since coastal cities are crucial for the empire, it will be the first to be strucked by the warships to cut the supply. Soon the land corps will land for the first ever large-scale invasion since the war, consisting mainly of Japanese and Philippine army.
Armored vehicle such as tanks were the first to land as soon as the transport ship dock at the nearest possible area.
This amphibious invasion will soon be remembered as the first naval invasion that the Philippines have ever won.
It didn't take much time until most coastal cities were captured by the Philippine forces.
Civilians who manage to survive the bombardment were left to their own accord, or even helped by the Philippine and Japanese soldiers.
Truly, humanity is still within the hearts of this soldiers despite the experiences they have gained.
The already terrified people were left with no choice but to follow their instructions as they were led to the nearest newly formed shelter.
After that, the day have passed and all coastal cities within the western part of the empire were captured.
-----
Within the imperial palace of Yggdrasil sat the already growing man in his throne. Many people have come to him to seek advices and even support because of the ongoing invasion of the enemy.
Not only that, the thundering echo of the fighter jet that struck their wyvern corps made the people run for their lives whenever such sound were heard.
Right now, one day after the invasion of the enemy, were they able to confirm their position.
"Silence, you fools!" the one who spoke is the King, Zander the third. He ordered his men to give him peace as he thought about any possible option to take.
"How many sages do we have?" he ask to his advisor who is right beside him.
"30,000 at most, but currently most of them are guarding the borders of our land."
"How many can we deploy, you piece of shit!"
"A-around 1,000, your majesty." the fear within his voice can only be the result of the tyranny of the king.
Since the war, he have oppressed the people of his nation as they wage war across world.
Now, it just got worse as the enemy who they anger have entered the portal that they have tried to close weeks ago.
However, due to lack of mana, it failed.
"You all are useless piece of shits, I told you to use the lives of the slaves right?!"
"Yes, but unfortunately, your majesty, they do not possess similar energy from us."
"Aaghhhh!!"
The nobles and generals mutter to themselves as their ruler slowly lose its sanity.
