Empire Of Jadase: New Day - Chapter 12
When Laquadia went inside the spacecraft. Neros and Deisham followed him after they recovered from shock. They couldn’t believe that this thing will happen after the First Prince went out of the Celestial Imperial Parliament building after having a conversation with the Empress. The both of them don’t know the reason why but they believe that Laquadia will discuss this to them sooner or later. They know the gargantuan amount of resources and money that will be spent in mobilizing this large army of the Kingdom into war.
“We need to cancel our preparations towards the invasion of Vertusa. We will continue it after we finishes this war. But to some who is not part of it, they must continue what they had been ordered to do.” Laquadia said with a somber face. Delaying the preparation is a huge blow to the momentum of the Kingdom in gaining lead in the upcoming war in Vertusa. He must need to have many alternatives this time.
“Deisham, tell the Generals and Officers of the Ice Kingdom to report in the Kingdoms Imperial War Hall, as soon as we arrive.” Laquadia said to Deisham with a serious voice.
“Neros, you must head first to the enemy’s system. I want you to probe them and bring 3 Fleets and 40,000 troops with you.” Laquadia looked at Neros with a meaningful glint in his eyes. They are discussing this matter inside one of the spacecrafts room which serves as a small war room where small scale planning is planned.
Probing an enemy is one of the key factors to victory. It is an important part in striking the enemy at its heart if they have gathered enough intelligence. It is not a question why the First Prince ordered Neros to make the first move into war.
After all those things had been commanded by Laquadia, Deisham and Neros made their move in following his orders. Neros and the other 10 men boarded another spacecraft towards the Ice Imperial Space Station in the Planet Depluca. Depluca is the main dock for all the spacecrafts of the Kingdom which are built for war. He and Deisham stayed in their spacecraft and after another minutes, Laquadia ordered the Captain to head back to the Ice Kingdom where he is going to lead the major plans in conquering the Durtians. The spacecraft fired it’s engine and went high up in the sky and fly at the speed of sound.
More than an hour of traveling had pass before they saw a snow covered continent. Then they landed in front of a 500 feet tall building which looks like that of a pointed pyramid that pierced into the sky. Laquadia, Deisham and the rest of thier subordinates who have accompanied Laquadia to the Imperial Grand Ball and those didn’t come with Neros, walks towards the entrance of the building in a hurried manner.
Another 5 minutes had passed before they entered the main war room of the Kingdom and sit in their designated chairs. Without any further ado he then speak in a serious manner.
“Gentlemen, the preparation for the invasion of Vertusa will be delayed. There’s a new war coming and this one will happen as soon as we are finished in here. We are now at war with the Empire of Durtan. I had sent Neros first to probe the enemy. This time I need 300 Supreme Leaders, Supreme Magistrates and Supreme Generals, those who are willing please stand-up and head directly towards the Minor Space Station here in the Kingdom and go to your post, if you are a Fleet Commander head directly towards your Command Ship. And the rest who is not will be left and continue the orders you had been given.” Laquadia said in a very commanding voice and 300 young, middle and old men stand up in the third, fourth and fifth row of the war room. After they stand up they then walk out the war room towards the western exit and vanished.
“50 High Supreme Committee and 50 Highest Supreme Committee stand up, those who wanted to and 30 Paramount Magistrates follow me and let’s board the Sylvestra 67 command ship. Beruk, Hichet and Hazer stay and be the temporary leader of the Kingdom while I am away and continue the preparation for Vertusa. Gentlemen that would be all and I expect progress from all of you who had stayed.” Laquadia said seriously and with hint of threat in his voice. He knows that they will never disobey him even if he leaves for a century but the threat serves as a domineering might he had to them. High Supreme Committee are made up of High Supreme Leaders, High Supreme Magistrates and High Supreme Generals. Highest Supreme Committee are made up of Highest Supreme Leaders, Highest Supreme Magistrates and Highest Supreme Generals.
“Be at peace, my Prince. We will do what you ordered us to do and do not be concerned about the Kingdom after you left because it will be at the hands of us three. Focus on the war and bring glory to the Kingdom once again.” Beruk said to Laquadia in an assured manner.
Without saying anything, he had left the room and followed by 130 powerful men together with Deisham towards the Sylvestra 67.
Sylvestra 67 is an Armada Command Ship, it has a length of 18.94 miles or 100,000 feet and a width of 5.68 miles or 30,000 feet. It is a gargantuan when seen high up in the sky and it blocked the sun and made its surroundings dark like that of a nighttime. But this spacecraft is second only to Gredas 88 which is the Armada Command Ship of the Water Kingdom and it is the biggest spacecraft in the Empire. Sylvestra 67 has many powerful weapons that can destroy small planets. The Brega X-32 Heavy Particle Beam is the spacecraft’s ultimate weapon which can shake large planets and can inflict heavy fissures into it.
Laquadia, Deisham and the others then arrived in the Minor Space Station of the Kingdom boarding 10 transport spacecraft. There can be seen 500,000 troops wearing an ice blue armors with a snow flake emblem in their right chest lining in an organized formation and tens of thousands of Frigates and Cruisers ready to go to war. Thousands of Capital Ships blocked the sun above together with the Sylvestra 67 making it looks like a nighttime in the middle of day. They then walk towards the highest platform in the Station and Laquadia began to speak in a domineering voice that resounded throughout the area to be heard by everyone.
” Gentlemen, today we will fight a historical battle that will again be engraved in the hearts and minds of everyone and of the younger generations! This war must be fought without mercy and be given without clemency! To War! To Victory!” When everyone heard what Laquadia had said they resonated back with a powerful voice.
“To War! To Victory!” After the surroundings returned to normal, Laquadia again said in a commanding voice.
“Ice Royal Battalion, Snow Lotus Battalion and Red Fjords Battalion as my main legion head towards the Suntres Capital Ship! Grundes, Frentuz, Tresga, Brudas and Nephur Battalions board the Furphrate Capital Ship! Nazer, Hantle, Zuestras and Querdas battalions board the Viotrel Capital Ship!” After Laquadia finished speaking those commands he then look at the other side of the troops. “Captains and Officers of the Ice Imperial Space Armada go to your spacecrafts and fire the engines, we are now going to war!”
1 battalion of the Kingdom is consist of 40,000 troops that makes it have a total of 480,000 troops in a battalion, the remaining 20,000 are the new Captains and Officers that are going into war. 500,000 people is not the fix number of people going into war because there are still Supreme Leaders, Supreme Magistrates, Supreme Generals, High Supreme Committee, Highest Supreme Committee and Paramount Magistrates beside Laquadia. The crew of the tens of thousands of spacecrafts consisted the most number of people which have the total of 1,000,000 strong men. Therefore, there are more than 1.5 million of people in the line of death. This only means that mobilizing this vast amount of people and machines requires a deep source of resources and money.
“Gentlemen, that would be all. Prepare well and go to your designated station.” After he said those words, all the people then went into an organized matching towards the transport ships that will bring them to the Capital Ships they are designated into.
Inside the other 10 Capital Ships are hundreds of thousands of Rothars. They are within a large rooms that have a habitual surroundings intended for them to live comfortably when traveling the space. They are with their masters who is going into war. This is also the reason why the Empire don’t need large numbers of troops to be deployed into a battle because a Rothar can hold its grounds against 5 enemies attacking it depending on its Hariem’s battle prowess.
**********
3 hours before declaration of war.
Mozti and his subordinates wearing a space suit are inside the simulation room with a serious look on their faces. They are here in the past few days practicing, after another 10 minutes there can be heard an emotionless voice speaking after the simulation is over.
“You are victorious. Congratulations, Commander.” After they heard it they didn’t give any attention into it, like that they have heard it many times before.
“This is our 4th victory today, Commander Mozti.” Said Frazco to him timidly.
“You’re right, Frazco. I think every time we start a new simulation battle it gets easier.” Said a young man with a normal looking young man with a Fringe hairstyle in the 2nd row.
“Yeah. Senus, is right commander.” Said a handsome young man with a combed over hairstyle in the 3rd row.
“I understand you, Rago. We don’t have any other choice but to do it everyday.” Mozti looked at them with a somber face wearing the same space suit before.
“Then how can be there a progress if we do things we already know?” Frazco replied casually.
“I don’t have any idea what is after this. I think let us eat first before continuing our training.” Mozti said to them excitedly after he said they need to eat.
“I think it’s the same restaurant again, Frazco.” Senus said happily and looked at Frazco’s direction.
“Well, why not try another restaurant? I wanted to eat something different this time.” Frazco said nonchalantly.
“It’s you call, the money is in you.” Rago said happily.
Since the day Frazco treated them, he is the one who buys the food everyday. It is obvious to them that their guy have a very deep pocket.
“What are we waiting for then, let’s go.” Mozti said with a joyful smile on his face.
After 30 minutes, they then found a very nice restaurant. Frazco then get the menu and tell the waiter all their orders.
“Frazco, we are very thankful you are a part of our team.” Senus said happily accompanied by the nodding of the rest of thier comrades.
“What choice do I have? I spend money not for myself but for all of us. It’s about making a great start of friendship to all of us.” Frazco said with a sincere manner.
After 5 minutes, the food they ordered are now ready and then served to them. Without any hesitation Mozti is the first one to grab the food in front of them.
“Commander, if you name yourself again what will it be?” Rago asked Mozti casually.
“I think it will be…..Eater.” Mozti said casually stuffing all the foods he had grabbed.
“Hahahaha.” Rago is the one who laughed first accompanied by the loud resonation of laughter inside the restaurant, they know the manner Mozti have in naming things, therefore they are not surprised to hear the name he had given himself.
After they had finished laughing, they then began to eat their own food happily. After some time, they then finished eating their food and Frazco paid the bills himself. They walked out of the restaurant happily and saw two middle aged man walking pass them having a serious conversation.
“Deisham had called everyone to gather in the war hall, I wonder what happened.” Said a tall man in the left side emitting a aura that of a Supreme Magistrate.
“I think it it will be about a declaration of war. Let’s head there directly.” Said a burly man in the right side emitting the same aura.
When they overheard what those men are talking about they looked at each others eyes meaningfully. They then followed the men silently and whispered to each other.
“Let’s ambush them, even if they are a Supreme Magistrates we can still bring them down. Let’s do it the way we trained from before.” Mozti said towards his subordinates whispering.
Even if you are a Supreme Magistrate, you can never escape a surprise attack launched onto you an a place where you less expected to be attacked. In the Empire as a whole, an attack to a Jadasian is very rare compared that to a Supreme Magistrate which is unheard of. This is because every Jadasian respected each other and the Lower Individuals feared them even when a tiny hair landed into their body that belonged to any Supreme Magistrate and higher they would faint as if they had experienced death. But today is a different story. Mozti and his subordinates wants to feel a true battle and they wanted to have a challenging life. But still, pinning down a Supreme Magistrate through a surprise attack needs a great teamwork and careful planning to execute it perfectly.
“Let’s divide our group into 3. Rago and the seven of you go to the right side of the street and wait for my signal and attack decisively to that person on the left.” Whispered Mozti pointing towards Rago and the other 7 of his subordinates following the two men silently.
“Senus and the other 7 of you will go to left side of the street and attack the swiftly to the person on the left. Remember to wait for my signal.” Mozti said commandingly towards him and pointed to the other 7 of his subordinates to go with Senus.
“I, Frazco and the rest will flank them at the back to do the finishing move. Remember, do not kill them, just let them sleep for awhile. That is all, go to your positions now.” Mozti is now well versed in giving commands to his subordinates compared from before. He is now decisive and cunning in taking down his enemies and as a Fleet Commander he knows the essence of waiting for the right opportunity to unleash a killing blow.
