After they eat on the fast-fast food chain the trio went to the department stores to buy essential things. First off, they went to the clothing department. There they bought a variety of clothes in different selections. Secondly, they went to the department store to buy a plethora of foods like chips, fruits, meats, herbs, spices, and the like. Lily purchases a lot of chocolates in different sizes and flavors. Lastly, they went to the bookstore to buy books. "So many books! I wonder how much a piece cost?" Sophia muttered to herself. But they have a small problem to fix. They cannot read or write, they are illiterate. Only Sophia can write and read along with Misha but the language that is written in the book is not in their language form. Roland addresses the situation by showing kanjis which are the written form of language in Japanese. He picked up his phone and showed an image containing kanji. "What are those Roland?" Sophia asked him about the images. Roland frowned. "What do you mean? This is your language, right? We call it Japanese. We are speaking Japanese of all time!" "Huh?! We are always speaking Altum! What do you mean Japanese?" Huh? Roland thinks to himself. They are not claiming that the official language name of their dialect is not Japanese but Altum. It is possible. Roland thought. They are in another world where principles, history, and alike were different. He overlooked the possibility. He then composed himself again to solve the misunderstanding. "Ow! Altum. Sorry hehe... We just named your language Japanese. So, do not mind it. How careless am I." "Likewise, I've never heard such a name Japanese, so I got confused when you said that it’s our language name hehe." It was awkward, they are both looking at each other. Their face was dyed red. "Ehem" Roland let out a fake cough. "So, if their written form is not Kanji then what is it?" Roland muttered while looking at his phone. Then an idea appeared in his deep thought. "Well, Sophia can you write 'Hello' in your language? I'm curious." "Okay, but where will I write?" "Wait." Roland opened his bag and picked something in it. "Here!" He said while handing out the piece of paper and a ballpen. Sophia was surprised at the object that we're handing out to her. "What are these?, Mr. Roland?" Sophia said while gently touching the black stick and white neat plain paper. "Those are papering them you can write on it. While the other one is ballpen. You use it to write." "Hmm. I understand! Then let me write hello in the paper." Sophia started writing. On it, she notices the smooth texture of the paper while carefully writing on it. "Impressive, It's easy than a parchment!" Sophia said in awe. She gives the piece of paper to Roland. When he looked at the paper his eyes widened. The characters written on it is completely different from kanji. What he found out that their characters are written on a moving-like worm. The complexity of their writing style caused him a slight headache. "I should inform the President about my discovery" Roland thought to himself, but there is a question on his mind. What if the President already knew it? It would be embarrassing. Anyway, he shakes his head and sent it to him via email. "Okay, it is getting dark! It is time to go home now! Manuel, please ready the car." Roland said to the girls. "Okay," The three said while looking down to the floor. "Don't worry we can have more adventure than this!" Roland said trying to cheer them up. One week later. Inside the Kremlin Palace were the girls who are adapting to their new lifestyle. At first, they were very shy when work is done by the maids inside the palace. Even though they urged them that they can do it. The only reply that they got is It's fine. Wearing comfortable clothes. Sleeping on expensive beds. To them, they were being spoiled. The guards assigned to them are doing what they want. They are assimilating to their new customs that their common sense is outdated. Sophia and Misha were in their room looking at the fully stocked shelves. Roland told them that it contains their information and knowledge. They hope they can read it, but Roland said that their language was being analyzes by linguistics. He assured that when they are done then they can translate the book into their language. Meanwhile, Thomas was back to the White House Command Ops where the secretary of defense Mark Thompson and the joints chiefs were gathered. Looking at Mark who is sitting far right corner on the long table Thomas speaks to him. "What do we know about the Church?" "They are an independent organization, a country name called Holy City. located in the middle of the continent, their supreme leader is pope Heather Light. They have a population of around 420,000 most of them are working in the church as what Bearing called a Church Retaliation Soldier. Information regarding those soldiers is they are stronger than an ordinary human. They used a pill that can increase their fundamental strengths" They have four neighbors surrounding them. They are the Incredal Kingdom, Eterean Kingdom, Luweth Kingdom, and Regirenth Empire. Which the church influences them. They share their ideas to those Kingdom and made a pact on it." The General finishes his report. "So, you're saying that if we attack the church? The other four will respond?" Thomas asked the atmosphere in the room become tensed. "Yes, Mr. President!" "So, what are their combat capabilities?" "The technology is dated in the middle ages era; they are still using swords. bow, and horse cavalry. But those are the intel that we gathered in our satellite imagery. But they are different from our history. Since knights can only wear full metal armor, it seems that they can all wear it. I must say that they have a large quantity of iron. Also, one last thing. The Empire has a mage powerful enough to beat a country with one spell. The Regirenth Empire is the strongest country located on the Continent." "A mage?! Is that like the witches?" "No sir. As Bearing stated that witches are influenced by devil miasma, he said that they are the devil's hand. While the mage is in the Empire where their magic was obtained through ritual. A blessing to the God which purposes is to serve their King. Also, witches are primarily women and they are located mostly on the three-kingdom hiding in the deep mountains white the mages have men and women. He also said that witches have red mana while the mages have blue mana. They use it to identify which are who. Since demons have red mana then they concluded that they are devil's pawn." The General concluded while Thomas was in his deep thought analyzing the information. He then validated using their intel that the witches are cast away in the society due to similar mana in the devil claimed by Sophia. Now they have information their army only needs his go signal but if he does that there will be a drawback. If he attacks the church then the four will retaliate, it is like a country is tantamount to declaring war on the continent. Despite the risk, he needs to take this action to increase his popularity and trust of his constituents. "What we've got General?" "General?" Mark said to the General. "The first salvo will take out their military bases and the second targets bridges, roads, and agricultural fields. After that, we would move our marines to the continent with an invasion force." [Ah what a relief, without NATO in this world we would not need a consensus for military policy.] "Congress agrees to this?" "Yes Mr. President with a unanimous vote you have now vested the power of authorizing military action," Alice said. The room is now fell into silence waiting for Thomas to signal. "So, if we do this now. There is a possibility that those kingdoms and empires will strike right?" "Yes, Mr. President," Alice said. "If it comes down to it. We will consider it as an enemy as well we have battle plans regarding it." The General said to Thomas. "Please help me, God. Sorry for attacking the church" Thomas muttered to himself. "Do it!" Thomas said looking at the big television screen placed on the wall in front of him. Mark Thompson pick up the phone. "Engage." "Yes, sir. Engage." The commanding officer said. Indistinct chatter over PA can be heard at the end of the line. ... Just outside the continent eight submarines consisting of four Virginia class, and four Ohio Class Destroyers fired their cruise Tomahawk missiles which have a range of 1000km and weighing 1000-pound warhead after having authorization. White smoke streaks painted the blue sky with white their target is the Church. Meanwhile on the Command Ops. Thomas was looking at the nose-cam of the missiles headed to their designated targets. They all looked serious which are some are mouthing their prayers. Traveling at subsonic speed the Tomahawk missile cruise their way onto the target. *Explosion. A simultaneous explosion can be heard. The locals who were just doing their daily jobs are stopped by a deafening explosion. They looked towards the billowing black smoke rising on their fields. "What is happening?!" "Are we under attacked?!" "No this is the church no one is dared to try to attack us!" The locals shared their thoughts with one another. Meanwhile inside the Great Church in the middle of the encircled town. The pope wakes up from his slumber. "Your Holiness!" The voices woke him up and looked towards the source. "What the f**k is happening?" "They are numerous explosions occurring in our land! Our military personnel and our agricultural fields are destroyed!" "WHAAAAAAAAAAT?!" The pope gives off a loud angry voice. The messenger cowered in fear tone. He continued his report. "Along with that our roads and bridges are destroyed as well!" "Someone hits our strategic points. It meant to cripple us! Find out who is responsible and inform all the kings of all the kingdom. Tell them we need help!" "Yes, Your Holiness." The messenger left the room. While the pope who is still shocked at the news was sitting on his bed. "Who attacked us? There is no way that it would be the three kingdoms! They do not have the Heavenly flames like the Empire... Empire? Are they the ones who attacked us? No, I don't think so if they do then there will be a blazing hell of fire devouring us but it’s not" The pope looked at the window to confirm it. All he just saw is black smoke rising in the air. "Oh my god!". He readied himself and went towards the hall where there can address the issue. After 10 minutes the priest and priestess are seated on a long round table. The pope is seated and speak. "What's happening?" The pope said looking at his priest woefully. "We were under attacked Your holiness. But we do not know who. We have also contacted our allies through the magic stone device, and they all denied the attack!" "Our military forces stationed in different areas had attacked us well. We are expecting hundreds of corpses. They are all killed by an explosion." "Someone is crippling our forces! we must ready ourselves to counterattack!" "But that stupid Mayne who used the Sacred beast. We do not have anything! We must ask for the Kingdom's help. "For now, I need a detailed damage report and I need it later! We will banish the perpetrator who tainted our holy land!" Meanwhile on the Command Ops cheers erupted in the room. They successfully hit all their missiles in the strategic points of the Church's land. Satellites images task above the church shows all its residents moving like ants. Black smokes were still billowing. "Sir we are ready for phase 2. At your command, we will have the invasion forces ready in 24 hours." "Okay do it." Mark picked up the phone. "The president has given the signal. Operation Desert Storm is now a go." "Copy that Operation Desert Storm commenced" Two, three, four, five six, eight. ten. eleven, and twelve fleets embarked towards the Incredal Kingdom port. While hundreds of C-17, C-5 and C-130 cargo planes flew through the skies of Harthom.
