The corvette Santan have successfully reached the port city in Groivor to assist the Coast Guard ship Lana. At the same time the destroyer King have 'intercepted' the Litenian fleet off the shores of Archesia.

The Cardonian Navy is as busy as the Air Force who is currently monitoring the ongoing battle at the Scolusian capital and the ongoing ceasefire on the Scharenian front, they are also delivering assets and supplies to far flung areas in Archesia and it's surrounding countries.

These two branches of the armed forces has their assets working round the clock. This has raised issues within the high ranking officials about the availability of air and naval assets.

And the current operations are costing the Cardonian government real gold, sustaining different military operations is really a burden to the country's finances.

KINGDOM OF GROIVOR

The Cardonian delegation is nearing their visit in Groivor, they already have successfully close important trade deals with the Groivorians. Cardonian goods, agricultural and fishing tech would exchanged for almost years worth of rubber, spices and other raw materials. Their current port is estimated to allow some of the Cardonian civilian freighters to dock, this means regular trade with the Groivorians are slowly becoming a reality.

And today, the Groivorian officials are to be toured around the two Cardonians ships, along them are some of the crew of Gordon, the self proclaimed son of trade mogul.

They've stepped aboard the green iron decks of the Lana first, exploring it's various facilities, machineries and weapons.

They've wondered and fawned over how clean the ship is, how organized the decks were and it's basic commodities can be even compared to the most luxurious Litenian cruise liners. And this is only a police ship! If this ship is comparable to cruise liners what would Cardonian crusie liner would look like then? This is the question that boggled the visitors as they walk around the steel alleyways of the Lana.

The Groivorians are especially surprised considering a 'maritime police' ship have comparable weapons to most of their sailing ships.

"220 ROUNDS?! PER MINUTE?!" exclaimed Gordon as the Coast Guard officer explained the operation of the ship's main weapon.

"Our 4 zel guns could barely do 20 rounds per minute but this 2.24 zel?! 220?!" he further added, zel is the Litenian term for inch.

He then imagined if they would ever engage the Cardonian police ship. His ship would be sinking way before they could even properly aim their guns. He then began to question if the Cardonians were saying the truth or they were only bluffing to gain some respect, but then rumors of them wiping off the Scolusians then crossed his mind. He is very conflicted.

They then toured the Santan. The moment they placed their foot inside the smaller ship, a different aura have enveloped them.

This ships is filled with many advanced technologies but still it is comparable to the previous coast guard ship. They were even given the chanc to explore the ship's command center.

And the amount of screens and equipment alien to them has left the visitors mentally scarred. Cardonia possesses technologies that surpasses their current imagination.

Gordon was very curious how could this very beautiful warship could have dealt deadly blows to the Scolusians considering she is measly armed with a 3 zel cannon. His curiosity would be then satisifed when they were toured on the midsection of the ship. Wherein 8 large oblong tubes are pointing diagonally at the sky.
