I'm the President of My Newly Created Country.

The One-Sided Naval Battle

0600 HRS DATE UNKNOWN Incredal Gulf.

1,000 ships are sailing are dispatched at the gulf of Incredal by the Kingdom of Incredal at the naval base in Parnam port. Incredal first and the second fleet was finally sending off its warships. Each ship folded its sails and gathered in the port. Sailors double-checked the ladders they would be used to board enemy ships. Unlit fire arrows were soaked in oil and stored away. They do not have cannons that the Empire has so they have no other choice to approach this battle traditionally. Wooden shields to protect against the enemy's arrow were affixed at regular intervals. As a substitute, the ballistae were installed in each ship. In total.

"Isn't this a magnificent sight?" Admiral Rumace murmured to himself while watching the sea. "But according to our ambassador that their ships can attack white exploding arrows and can easily destroy the decommissioned Empire's warship. I wonder if that is true and if it is true how many men, I can keep alive?"

He chided himself for voicing his true thoughts. There was no sense in giving up early, even in the face of impossible odds.

"Admiral, we've received a message from navy headquarters," reported by his adjutant Lemon.

"Read it."

"Yes, sir!"

"Scouts-Detected-Enemy-Fleet-Located-By-Fishing-Boats-In-Linux-Town-"

After his adjutant read the report Admiral Rumace thinks to himself. Linux town is located in the southeastern part of the Incredal Kingdom it is a town that relies heavily on fishery and agriculture. Fisherman occasionally hunts for fish before dawn. So, if the reports are claimed to be true then the enemy fleet must be nearby. To determine or assume the location of the fleet he asked his adjutant.

"When was that reported? Be exact"

"It was reported by the fisherman 3 hours ago, we got the report one hour after the report."

Having the information, he tried to calculate the approximate distance of their fleets. Assuming that the fisherman was fishing outside the waters and saw an enemy fleet he must go quickly to the shore. But what if the fisherman did not immediately report it? Aquatic resources are rich in that town and were famous since it yields 60% of seafood throughout the continent that just even 200 meters there will be fishes swimming ready to be caught. If he prioritizes reporting it on the officials then soaring through the shore will take only 10-15 minutes after that he has to walk for more than ten minutes through the city hall then the city hall will file the report and send it to the capital via messenger. The Linux town is 20 kilometers away from the naval headquarters taking the messenger to travel for one hour and thirty minutes. He also factored in the urgency to disseminate the information of the messenger. And lastly, the adjutant where he received the message. Adding those times up can get him the approximate location of the enemy fleet however there is one problem. They do not know how fast the enemy fleet is he just based his calculations on their ship's speed and the wind. But there is only one certain. The enemy fleet is near and it's coming towards them.

While pondering on his thoughts a man running towards them shouting admiral in the port snapped him back to reality.

"Admiral! I have bad news!... Let me in you fools I have to report to the admiral urgently... Get your filthy hands off me!"

A man appears to be wearing a long red robe covering its figure screamed through the port. The guards and sailors stopped and blocked him not letting him in the flagship.

"Let him speak!" Romance commanded the resisting sailors and guardsmen.

By the command of the admiral, they let go of the unknown man. He strides carefully at the planks bridging the ship.

"Admiral we have bad news!" A man's voice can be heard his speech indicates that there is something bad.

"What is it?"

"50,000 troops stationed at the Aesport town lose against the United States of Harthom. All of them are dead! The town was now captured by the United States and seems to be creating a base there. Also, they took civilians as prisoners and we believe that they are raping women, torturing men after they won against our army. And the general who commanded the troops are also dead!"

"Whaaaaaaaaat?!"

Rumace was shocked at the news he is hearing may not be good but according to him, the troops stationed there are already dead. But it does not concern him. The fact that they defeated the army size knights who give their blood, sweat, and tears to become a strong discipline knight was defeated easily. The troops that the king sent was issued yesterday. Surprising him that with that number the battle should've last for one or two weeks. Defeating them overnight is exaggerated no one not even the Empire can do such a feat. Then he remembered the report of the ambassador about the weapons of Harthom. Trembling on his feet his crew notice the uneasy admiral for the first time. Seeing his subordinate’s gazes locked on him he calmed himself and tried to control his shakiness.

"That country is surprisingly underestimating us!" Rumace said hiding his fear. "Hahaha... So, the rumors are true after all. Not only Hermes is the target they included us as well. But they will never cross nor even enter our country! Today we will fight and killed those invaders that disrupt our peaceful country! And let them know that we are not the one to be f****d with!"

"Woooooooooooooo!"

The sailors began cheering raising their fists in the air.

"So, here's our mission! Anyone who can kill each of their sailors will be rewarded handsomely! ONE GOLD EACH!"

"Woooooooooo!"

Other cheers from the sailors sounded again.

"Now onwards my brothers! We will meet them head-on! And we will prevail! Do not let that propaganda get inside your mind! they are using it just to weaken our state of mind! So, let me assure you that this will be the battle where our navy will receive fame and glory after we decimated their fleet that is brazenly moving towards us! Now drop those sails and onwards to our enemy that will satisfy our thirst for blood!"

After his speech, his sailors were now pumped up ready to face anything head-on. While Rumace was still on the starboard side of the ship resting his elbows on the wood rail. He hides the fact that the army sent by the king were slaughtered just earlier. He decided to remain hidden so his crew's morale will not be affected. He was still trembling at the unknown. What kind of enemy are they fighting for?

Back to the White House, Thomas has readied himself for another live broadcast early this morning. He still feels sleepy since he had not enough sleep finishing drafting and signing bills that fall to his constitutional role. In the oval offices light stands and cameras were all set up by the press. He tries to read the words and sentences on the teleprompter in his mind and thankfully he can read it easily.

The white house chief of staff and his advisors are there to watch his address. The cameraman started to count from three to one using his finger.

[Three...Two...One]

And now he is broadcasted live at every press and media throughout the country. Everyone was watching the address of the president including the witches in the Kremlin Palace.

"My fellow Harthomians, In the last two weeks, I addressed you from this office with a promise to hunt and find the responsible behind the 2,400 sailors who lost their lives fighting the sacred beast deliberately released on its chains. And I am glad to inform you that we have him in custody and were being held in the prison located at the Hawaiian Island but further investigation we have identified that the Holy City Hermes gives him the authorization to release the sacred beast on his own volition and shouldered the responsibility however instead of making amends they are willing to wage war against us even though we are seeking for peace to this world. Also, another country rose and help Hermes with this war and its name is the Incredal Kingdom although we tried opening diplomatic solutions not to intervene they simply shut their door to our diplomats with the goal of peace. And we have no choice but to include the Incredal Kingdom as an enemy of the state as well.

Accordingly, at 7:06 a.m. yesterday, I authorized missile strikes on strategic targets throughout Hermes. Those strikes will continue until the Hermes surrenders unconditionally. Also, at midnight earlier this morning, I authorized land invasion against the Incredal Kingdom and will continue until the King or the Prince surrenders." He stopped for the moment.

When the flotilla of our navy destroyers was vanished in the eastern sea trying to make contact from foreign countries. I swore an oath to protect this country against further aggression. The sacred beast was a declaration of war by a foreign nation and it is a war this country will win. God bless you. And God bless these United States of Harthom." Thomas concluded his address.

"And we're out," The cameraman said indicating that the broadcast is over.

Everyone began to leave the room Thomas was followed by his advisers towards the Commands ops to watch and observe the on-going battle against the Incredal and the Hermes.

8:00 A.M date unknown, somewhere in the sea near the Incredal maritime waters. The first carrier strike group is 2 klicks out from the Incredal Gulf. The carrier strike group consists of one Gerald Ford-class aircraft carrier carrying 60-70 F-35C Lightning. Escorted by five Arleigh-Burke Class destroyers, three supply ships, and one Ticonderoga cruiser. As for their support, two carrier strike groups are ready at any moment just 10 kilometers away. The commander of the carrier strike group rear admiral Gerald Fyord is looking to his binoculars from the primary flight control.

"Sir you have to see this" A staffer said to him he is from the radar operation.

Admiral Gerald nodded and went to the location beckoned to him. Seeing the blips on the radar he asked the operator.

"How many ships we are expecting?"

"1,000 ships sir"

"1,000?! According to our intel, those are the number of all warships the Incredal has. They are willing to dispatch all of them. What is their bearing?"

"They are coming towards us sir at the speed of eight knots. They can see us from this distance."

"Okay thank you. Now man battle station!"

"Man, battle station!" The alarm blared when Gerald ordered officers and staff began moving at a quick pace to ready themselves.

In the flight deck, F-35C Lightning is doing pre-flight checks those who are completed are towed in the E.M.A.L.S or the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System. A total of 60 F-35C equipped with hellfire missiles are taking off on the aircraft carrier. Also, the destroyers are ready for battle as well as charging towards the spearheading 1,000 warships.

"Sir all fighter aircraft are deployed and ready to commence bombing," One of the staff said to Gerald.

"Okay good tell them that after they exhaust their munitions, they must back for re-sortie they have permission to engage the enemy fleet coming right in front of us!"

"Yes, sir!"

Meanwhile on the Arleigh-Burke class destroyer Evolved Sea Sparrow missile from missiles tubes were fired moving at Mach four they will never see what hit them. Along with the sparrow were tomahawks missiles launching from their vertical launch cells making the deck of the ship covered with smoke due to ejection from its tubes the smoke trails painted the sky as they cruise towards their target.

In a total of 500 missiles are cruising towards the Incredal warships wooden plank will not save them from missiles.

Before the enemy could react, they are destroyed and consumed by the ball of light coming towards them at incredible speed.

Earlier from their perspective Admiral Rumace was in awe seeing the fleet of Harthom.

"Its. Big! How can we win to a beast like that...?"

Base on those statements Rumace who was filled with unwavering morale sunk to the bottom of the ocean giving up on the battle before it was even begun. Seeing the ships that were specifically involved in the demonstration they all looked towards the incoming fleet.

Not only that they also see flying steel moving at high speed toppling the speed of wyvern. No faster than the wyvern. As they fly over them the sounds of the engine made a whooshing sound that cuts the wind. The sounds of waves send a chill on their spine. Some began to kneel hopelessly. After a moment, a cloud of smoke billowed from the Harthom ships making the crews and the sailors of the warships flabbergast.

"Did they explode?"

"No, they are not!" Rumace said as he remembered again from the ambassador.

He said that when those ships started to create smoke it is an indication of an attack. Those fire arrows are responsible for destroying the Empire ships instantly. Remembering it he felt frozen to his position unable to move as he watches the incoming arrow of light coming towards them.

"So, this is the end huh? Without even have the chance to fight off. What kind of enemy did the church make? It is like waking up the sacred beast itself. Hahahaha"

Saying his last words, he closed his eyes and accepted his faith along with his crew. This is the truth on this war involvement of loss of life is not inevitable.
