Palpadia Empire. Esthirant.
Office of 3rd Foreign Affairs Department
Canteen room.
The staff of the 3rd Foreign Affairs Department were enjoying lunch while talking about various matters. At one table sat 2 staff from Kyeos and the receptionists from the 3rd Foreign Affairs Department.
"You know, don't you? Currently, the Myto Empire is the main topic of discussion among the 3rd Foreign Affairs Department officials. said a secretary with long hair.
"Myto Empire? I've never heard of that country. " answered a receptionist.
"They can defeat the imperial oversight army from Palpadia, you know. Twice they fought, and Palpadia lost twice. " said the long-haired secretary. "Besides, it's been reported that they defeated the Kingdom of Lauria on the continent of Rodinius. "
"A strong country, huh? ' said another secretary.
"That's right, the 3rd Foreign Affairs Department Head, Kyeos, is very angry with the Myto Empire country. He gave the order to gather all information about the Myto Empire. " replied the long-haired secretary.
"There are even reports that the 1st Foreign Affairs Department and the 2nd Foreign Affairs Department are also trying to gather information about the Myto Empire. At the moment, there isn't much that we can get other than reports from various countries that have been defeated by the Myto Empire. " said a secretary.
"Myto Empire, huh. I know Myto Empire. " a receptionist said slowly.
Everyone at the table looked at the receptionist.
"In the past month, ambassadors from Myto Empire have often come to the 3rd Foreign Affairs Department office and wanted to meet with the head of the office or other authorities. " said the receptionist who always met with Myto Empire's diplomatic team.
"They came to us? Why was it rejected? " asked a secretary.
"They always come when our office is busy and cannot receive envoys from the other state. Also, they come from uncivilized areas, so their priority is low. " the receptionist responded. " They often get angry, and an ambassador often talked about the use of the military to convince us to meet them. "
"Oh I see. How barbarian. Do they know that we are a superpower country?" said one of the secretaries.
"They already know that, and they're not afraid of that fact. I think that's very strange for an uncivilized country. " replied the receptionist.
"What do they want to do? " asked another receptionist.
"I'm not sure what terms are being discussed, but they said that in normal circumstances, if there is a diplomatic crisis, they will bring what they call a star destroyer. Maybe a destroyer type for a show of force. " replied the receptionist, who often received Myto Empire's diplomatic team. "I also don't know why diplomatic conditions with us are considered unusual. "
"Perhaps because they are aware of our military power? asked a secretary.
"As I said earlier, it seems they are not afraid. I'm more inclined to believe they want to conceal their power," the receptionist said.
"I will report this to the higher-ups. At least we know there's a representative from the Myto Empire here. answered the secretary.

A few hours later
Office of the head of the 3rd Foreign Affairs Department
"Sir, I have some important news. " said a secretary to the Head of the 3rd Foreign Affairs Department, Kyeos.
"What happened?" Kyeos replied.
"From the receptionist, we received news that, in fact, a Myto Empire diplomatic team had been in Esthirant for a month. They have wanted to meet our officials for a long time, but for various reasons they could not meet our officials. " said the secretary.
"What!! Why was such an important thing not known? " asked Kyous.
"They always come when our office is very busy, and somehow their arrival reports are not read by our staff. I only found out after talking directly with the receptionist who received them. " replied the secretary.
"Immediately order the receptionist to meet me. Also invite our analyst team to participate," ordered Kyeos.
.

.
Not long after, all the summoned parties had gathered in Kyeos room. The receptionist then explained Myto, as he had done at lunch.
"It's really disturbing that they are not afraid of us, a superpower country. " said an analyst.
"Perhaps they don't know of our strength after having defeated the Kingdom of Lauria. " said another analyst.
"Is there any intelligence data regarding their military capabilities while fighting on the continent of Rodinius? " asked Kyous. "From there, we might be able to understand why they are not afraid of us. "
"There are some intelligence facts about their military equipment, sir. " said the first analyst while giving a summary of the analysis.
From the intelligence analysis, it was concluded that:
1. Myto Empire doesn't use wyverns but uses planes.
2. The Myto Empire warship has a cannon that has a very long range and a very fast reload speed.
3. The Myto warship that is currently known has only one cannon located at the front of the ship.
4. It seems that Myto also uses muskets for his warriors.
"Did the Mu Empire sell its technology to the Myto Empire? asked Kyeos seeing that Myto was using an airplane and not a wyvern.
"Our intelligence sources detected that there were Myto Empire diplomatic activities in the Mu Empire some time ago. " replied an analyst.
"Hmm, it's really worrying if the Mu Empire is behind the Myto Empire. Is this a move by the Mu Empire to rule over the 3rd civilization and the barbarians? Kyeos muttered. No one can answer that speculation.
"Shouldn't we ask this or seek confirmation directly from the Mu Empire?" asked an analyst.
"No way, surely the Mu Empire will try to deny that because it will affect the political and military map of the entire area in Elysia," answered another analyst.
"Besides, there are many strange terms that we don't understand. " said the other analysis.
"Is that the star destroyer that the diplomatic team mentioned when they were angry? We don't see a similar term in the Mu Empire. Was it a weapon they had developed themselves? We just found out that there are some terms that we don't understand. " asked an analyst.
"Maybe it's an improvement over the weapons obtained from the Mu Empire. " said another analyst.
"However advanced it may be, the numbers must be very small because it is impossible for Mu to sell such large quantities of weapons as to be able to arm the Myto Empire's entire army, and since the Mu Empire definitely isn't providing the best of their technology, at least the level of military technology given is around the level of the technology possessed. by us or perhaps slightly below us, the Palpadia Empire. We can still win the battle through quantity. " answered an analyst, followed by the approval of other analysts.
The analysts then come to a number of conclusions based on the discussion and the new and old information:
1. The Myto Empire is not afraid of the Palpadia Empire, so it is likely that its attitude will not be humble.
2. Myto Empire may have support from the Mu Empire.
3. It is possible that the Mu Empire will begin to expand its influence in areas other than the 2nd civilization.
4. Myto Empire may have modified or made their own weapons based on weapons from the Mu Empire.
What a worrying development of the situation.
"We need more information to remove the uncertainty from those analyses. Kyos said.
"That's right, and only from the first party or longer observations can the information be obtained. " said one analyst.
"Do we have the residential address of the Myto Empire diplomatic team? " Kyeos asked some time later.
"There is, sir. They left their address. " replied the receptionist.
"Order someone to the Myto Empire diplomatic team to order them to go the 3rd Foreign Affairs Department office tomorrow. " Kyeos ordered.
"Yes, sir. " said the receptionist while leaving the room.
We will meet again tomorrow, when Myto Empire's diplomatic team arrives. We are wringing the diplomatic team dry of both diplomatic and military information. " Kyeos said closing the meeting.
---oOo---
Holy Military Empire (HME).
Imperial Capital Runepolis.
Information Office.
The Holy Mirishial Empire understood the importance of "information" and operated with the philosophy that whoever controlled information controlled the world, so they poured a lot of resources into information analysis. Because a lot has happened in Elysia recently, the information office was experiencing an unprecedented overload of work. They had been very busy trying to gather information regarding the things that had been happening in Elysia recently.
The emergence of two new countries, Gra Valkas and Myto Empire, caused the information office to become extremely busy.The two countries demonstrated high military capabilities. Even so, currently there is quite a lot of information about Gra Valkas, because Gra Valkas was able to defeat the 2nd civilization superpower, Leifor, and also colonize several other small countries.
As for the Myto Empire, not much is known, although currently there is information that the Myto Empire succeeded in defeating and conquering the Kingdom of Lauria. Also, they were said to be able to defeat the demon lord that attacked the Topa Kingdom. Right now, it seems that the Myto Empire is involved in a skirmish with the Palpadia Empire, which might turn into a full-blown war.
Information Director Arneus was getting reports from his subordinates.
"Have we gotten any new information on the Gra Valkas Empire?" asked Arneus.
"Currently, we have not learned where the Gra Valkas home country is located. Also, based on our analysis of their war with Leifor, we believe the Eighth Empire's warship, the Grade Atlastar, is comparable to our latest warships, or perhaps even more powerful. It's hard to believe, but those are the results of our analysis."
For a country this powerful to suddenly materialize from beyond the void made the director's head hurt. The military strength of the Gra Valkas shown by the Grade Alester ship really worries HME because it seems that the ship can compete with the best ships from HME.
It was rumored that the Alester Grade ship was capable of destroying the capital city of Leifor without the aid of other ships or aerial military equipment. This demonstrates the Gra Valkas Grade Alester battleship's strength or capability.
"What about the Myto Empire? " asked Information Director Arneus.
"We received additional information regarding the Myto Empire from our agent in Topa Kingdom. They observed the war between the Topa Kingdom and the Myto Empire against the Demon King. " said an analyst. "We got information about some military equipment owned by the Myto Empire. "
One of the weapons used by Myto Empire to beat the demon lord called "tanks," after analysis, were determined to be completely beyond the capabilities of Mirishial's magic engines. Perhaps if they could shrink them...
They also use airplanes, although the reports given are very different from those owned by the Mu Empire or HME. The information obtained is that the aircraft also carried enough weaponry to be able to destroy the demon lord's army with just a few aircraft. The speed of the plane was reportedly also unbelievably high.
Even more unbelievable, they also used what appeared to be anti-air magic missiles. The empire's magic missiles were currently being developed for use against ships; an anti-air version was still a distant dream. If this report were true, then the Myto Empire was far more advanced than the Holy Mirishial Empire.
Also, they are rumored to have an army of golems. Golems require a high level of magic, and only a few countries are able to own or create golems. But all countries in Elysia cannot mass-produce golems because they need magic cores, which are very expensive. However, from the information obtained, the Myto Empire was able to deploy a large number of golem troops.
What's even more surprising is the information stating that the Myto Empire is a country that doesn't use magic like the Mu Empire. Therefore, how to create things that should use that magic? How to substitute magic with technological equipment?
Of course, this report was considered completely preposterous, and, within the information office, very few people believed it could be true. However, the other day, the Papaldia Empire, which had invaded the Kingdom of Fenn, lost enough of its forces to be considered obliterated by the allied forces of Fenn and the Myto Empire. It was much, much harder to dismiss the report on Myto's military technology as a fabrication now.
"Do we have any information regarding the Myto Empire when they fought against the Kingdom of Lauria? " asked Information Director Arneus.
"Not directly, sir. We only got secondhand information about it. However, we received news that they were able to defeat a very large number of Kingdom of Lauria ships with just a few ships. " said an analyst.
This made Information Director Arneus even more upset because the information he got only raised more questions and didn't answer any of them.
"We need to gather more information on the Myto Empire!!!" Information Director Arneus ordered.
"Yes sir. " said the analysts in the room.
"Use all our assets and abilities to find information about the Myto Empire. Also as a secondary task, find as much additional information about the Gra Valkas as possible, we should get it from our agents in countries that have been defeated or colonized by the Gra Valkas. " Information Director Arneus ordered
"Yes sir! " answered the analysts, and they were busy looking for information about Myto Empire through various channels.
