Central Calendar Year April 12, 1639
Above Gim 20km away from Qua Toyne-Laurian border
At 4,000 meters flying above Gim, 3 F-15SG belonged to Republic of Singapore Air Force being lead by Captain Dennis of 149 squad "Shikra"
"Trevor 1 to Trevor 2&3 multiple bandits inbound... don't let anyone escape shoot them down. All units weapons free"
""Roger that Trevor 1""
After capturing the wyvern units under Noza on the radar numbering 38 boogies. Then, they immediately dispersed to engage hostile wyverns. Taking advantage of the overwhelming speed, otherworldly maneuver and tactics they made the Laurian wyvern units to pathetically watch themselves getting take down one after the other.
"Fox 2! Trevor 3 take down those pair of retreating wyverns on your Six!"
"Trevor 1 Lima Charlie!"
"This is Trevor 2 to Trevor 1 more boogies inbound in 8 o'clock"
" This Trevor 1 affirmative Trevor 3 are free? once you finished dispatching those retreating wyverns shoot these inbound Wyverns, I repeat shoot them down!"
" Roger that Trevor 1"
'Tch... It becomingly tedious fight without control, it's hard to fight while ordering my men... It seems the Malaysians also have troubled on it"
Thought by Captain Dennis while looking at F-18 shredding a wyvern by cannon fire at the same time he himself shooting down an enemy wyvern in his front upon capturing it in Sights then performed a barrel roll to find another prey.
Lacking of C2BM (command and control, battle management) It became difficult to engage the enemy even they are Superior to them due to inability to perform uniformed coordinated attacks and when and where to go on offensive in order to exploit the enemy forces or when to go in defensive formation in the battlefield in an event of enemy counterattacks. Also, Another main purposes of C2BM the ability to distinguish between friendly and hostile units hundreds of miles away.
"Trevor 1 the enemy forces on the ground begun withdrawal... What do we do? We have yet to unleashed our air to ground payload?"
"It's alright Trevor 3 we can attack them. Even, if they are withdrawing to reduce their numbers, they will became a huge pain in the ass for our ground troops if we let them get away here at first let's wipe out the flying lizard before that"
"Affirmative"
After awhile later, they shoot down 37 wyverns leaving a single wyvern rider with flashy gold armor, that is the guy named Noza who currently trying to escape.
"Trevor 1 the sole survivor seems a noble or high ranking official, shall we shoot it down?"
" Ah, no let him be it might be a good idea to let him alive. If we leave a lower ranking soldiers to survive and have them report to the enemy brass they might not believe then so if it's a high ranking ones like that they should believed it..."
"Believe what ?"
"Believe that we beat the hell out of them with just 5 units. After all they might think it was a mentality disabled person who sung fairy tales in front of them.... how do you think it's possible to stop their vanguard's strength of tens of thousands for the initial invasion with this meager force of 5 aircraft? "
" I see so, if they understand that we are threatening enough to have the capability to deploy a trifling amount of force but enough to destroy substantial number of their forces. we might became deterrent to them right?"
"Not only deterrent we might end this war early by forcing them to sign in peace treaty" after answering his subordinates Cpt. Dennis got a radio contact from Col. Ameer
"This Trevor 4 to Trevor 1 it's seem you guys planning to launch air to ground attacks can we join?"
" Sure thing Trevor 4 but can I ask if you attack them on the sides to forced them to enmasse in one place at the center? They're a bit scattered after all I thought giving them some Mavericks together to deliver maximum destruction upon them"
" Okay, loud and clear... over and out"
F-18D once again break off formation to attack the flanks of retreating Laurian invasion force, killing and wounding several dozens of the them in dual strafe runs in left and right.
Then, thereafter F-15SG's perceived that the enemy massed enough in one place. They determined that is was the right time unleashing the payload of a dozen AGM-64 Mavericks creating bountiful of fireworks on the ground then switch to guns to Launch multiple strafing runs causing immense casualties to the Laurians, a little over 8,000 Killed, wounded and missing in action.
Then after reinforcements from the Laurians 2nd Dragon attack corps arrived but the F-18D and F-15SG already returned to base (R2B) But the one who greeted them are the hastily sortied F-16's of Republic of Singapore air Force, only armed with M61A1 6-barrel rotary cannons with a drop tanks. Shooting down 13 wyverns before returning. Putting the Wyvern kill tally of ASEAN to 80 kills (RSAF=50, RMAF=30)

Gim, 20km away from Laurian-Qua Toyne border
Looking at corpse littered ground at end of the battle. Moiji, Captain of the western army can't help but open it's mouth agape, with only 5 iron dragons to bring so much destruction within few minutes. At first, they thought that it was wyvern unit of ASEAN sent to support but deploying piecemeal numbers of 5 aren't really that helpful. But they were horribly wrong, these 5 unit of iron dragons caused explosion that killed thousands within seconds, shooting down wyverns one after another, even the enemies are withdrawing they chased it to bring more destruction, decimated the panicking Laurian armies as if it was the harbinger of death.
"Captain, the removal of the debris and Reconstruction of houses and facilities are steadily progressing, but we currently experiencing lack of manpower"
" I know, just proceed on the field work, as we wait until reinforcements from Eastern army and aristocratic private armies arrived 2 days later and a week after that, armies of ASEAN will arrive here. So, be patient for the moment"
"Shouldn't we abandoned gim ? We only numbered more than 300 and over a hundred civilian militias. We can't possibly repel another invasion of laurians on the same magnitude earlier"
"Hmmm... It's alright the ASEAN's seems destroying enemies camps and bases throughout the border and protecting us from Laurians from the sky"
Then after that he looked on the sky, which also made the subordinate to instinctively looked up too. Seeing multiple arrow like thing flying at high altitude forming white contrails on the sky.

Principality of Qua Toyne's, governmental meeting
The western town of Gim able to survive the onslaught of the Laurian forces with the help of 1st forward airwing of ASEAN. Furthermore, they manage to avoid the catastrophic results if they ever defeated. The meeting was still under tensed mood.
"Please give us the latest report," Prime Minister Kanata ordered.
The military officer crack a bitter smile.
"Sir! In April 12, 1639 the western region surrounding Gim was occupied by Laurian forces. But due to the interventions of ASEAN which escalated to the first armed clashes of ASEAN and Laurian forces. That resulted to overwhelming victory of ASEAN forces with just five aircrafts, forced Laurians to retreat their armies back to the border and postpone their offensive. Furthermore, our spies reported that Laurians overall mobilized five hundred thousand soldiers. In addition, the Parpaldian Empire of the Third Civilization, the superpower of Philades, is rumored to be providing military provision. While this rumor is uncertain, Laurian does possess five hundred wyverns in their inventory but the ASEAN shoot down 80 of them bringing down the number to around 400 heads. Finally, over four thousand Laurian ships have left port, the location is still currently under scrutiny."
Silence dominated.
The meeting attendees held their breath as the information from the report slowly being processed. Thinking how dead serious Laurians are, with the number "five hundred thousand soldiers" was ten times the number of the current forces they held and not to mention five hundred wyverns. If still not enough, there were over four thousand Laurian ships on the sea. Under utter hopelessness, the Qua Toyne was saved by ASEAN Forces but there are still skeptical with the results.
"How this... is possible with just 5 iron dragons they manage to stop the Laurian invasion force?"
" Inconceivable..."
"Are they really that friendly ? They might invaded us next after the Laurians?"
That was the feeling permeated the room. Suddenly, the Minister of Foreign Affairs reluctantly raised his hand.
"Mr. Prime Minister, may I speak?"
"What is it?"
"Actually, when this meeting was about to begin, we received a information and a message from the ASEAN embassy."
"What did they say?"
"Yes... let me conveyed the summary of it aloud."
They said that they discovered a large fleet of sailing ships enroute to the north, in the direction of Myhak. And concluded it was warships Bear the emblem of Lauria. They're asking if they are allowed to send their own fleet to repel them. And additionally, they requested the expansion of the facilities and increased number of forces currently garrisoned in the continental rodenius. And lastly they hoped to conclude mutual defense treaty to protect our nation together with the kingdom of quira in an event of a foreign aggression.
"This... the summary of the information."
"...doesn't that mean... isn't that an invasion garrisoning more troops?"
"Though the message saying it outright, I believe the reason is that sending reinforcements to protect their National interest. Their treaty members stipulates the prohibitions from resolving international conflicts using armed force, so while it is a bit outlandish, I believe they are trying to flex their muscles by putting Lauria in it's knees, after all it's not small feat's considering the forces they possess they are at least as strong as lower to middle level civilized countries and the ASEAN seems planning to use it's victory against them to fuel their credibility on the international stage. At the same time, deterrent from the future aggressions as they aren't easy nut to crack. And lastly, because their country has poor food productivity (misunderstanding lol) like Quira, they cannot afford to lose our food exports."
The room started to regain life. It felt like the Ray of hope guided them out in a the dim room of despair.
"That's it! Prepare for the negotiations for the mutual defense treaty and other advantageous treaty with them!. Send a message to ASEAN council that we are wholly agreed in the support to eliminate the invaders! Let them know that we will supply all their forces. Furthermore, authorize their movement throughout our land, sea, and air until all enemy forces have been eliminated. They have unrestricted liberty of action . And lastly, Minister!"
"Yes sir!"
"Give orders to all remaining forces to cooperate fully with ASEAN forces!"
"Understood!"
"And lastly, Minister!"
"Yes sir!"
"Give orders to all remaining forces to cooperate fully with ASEAN forces!"
"Understood!"
