[quote=@CmdrAlfieq] The newly established Alfieq's Army have begun their recovering from the Militarian civil war and also managing to cream their revolutionary influences from the mainland through the east, impressed their Militarian commoners by now a fractured Empire of Militarian-Veilletes on that date. The Commander of Alfieq's Army has decided to relocate their capital from the western point of a large island lake to the east, and thus the capital will now be named as the 'Regional HQ of the Northern Continent' (RHQ-NC) for the officials and the military commands to take some administrative ordeals of the faction.

[img]https://i.imgur.com/R1sEKVy.png[/img] [/quote] It was late in the afternoon, and the smell of freshly cut grass lingered in the building of the Kurultai as the last man entered the room and closed the door. He was late for the daily meeting of the Kurultai, the main advisory council to the Khan. Merely a few seconds after he had taken a seat, the man in front started talking. "Greetings, members of the Kurultai" Khan Yuri Lanist said "As we all know, we have been here for a few months now, and I am very proud to announce to you that our first landship has nearly been completed and its ceremonial launching will be held next thursday." He paused for a second. The members of the Kurultai started clapping and cheering. The completion of such an enormous project was certainly no small feat, and the scale of the project was still astounding to most members of the Kurultai. The members of the Kurultai fell silent once again as the Khan continued speaking. "However, there is much to discuss," he said "Now that we have properly secured our nation after our landing on this planet a few months ago, it is time to start thinking about the future. I suggest we expand to the east, securing more resources for our nation, and start looking if there are others on this world, so we can properly assess the security measures we need to take against them. I would like to know what your thoughts on the matter are." "I would suggest we expand to the northern pole, as the cold will make the generation of power and production of goods for the Khaganate more efficient." Said a humanoid, although not creepy, robot, the representative of the core. "I disagree." Came from General Katie Anderson sitting on the other side of the table. "The technology used in the landship that has been recently constructed is at the moment not resistant to the extreme cold that has been measured in the polar region. We will have to design a new one that works better in that enviroment. I suggest we use this new landship to our advantage in expanding to the east, as we will certainly need a weapon of that size to exert influence on that area." "I am with the Core representative on this one" a gruff voice said, although from General Anderson's side of the table. This voice belonged to Arman Nurzhan, an experienced general whose face seemed to be naturally stern. Yuri had colonized and conquered many different places with the help of this man, but wasn't sure if he could remember Arman ever smiling. "We can just construct more fortifications inside this new area, helping with defending the area and making sure the local population does not rise up." "You can't just build forts for every problem" Anderson said "This new landship has the mobility to actually quash any uprisings rather than your forts, but we can't use it inside the arctic" The Kurultai began arguing amongst themselves, the noise slowly growing louder as Yuri was deep in thought. He knew Katie was right, and he appreciated her opinion because he had seen her tactical genius on the field, even though she was at a young age for a general. However, he also knew Arman and the Core's representative were speaking the truth, as the extra resources and power from the arctic region would help in his future goals of colonizing the planet for the Khaganate. The noise coming from the Kurultai was now loud enough to distract him from his internal monologue, and he prepared to put an end to it, when a fourth voice spoke up. It was from the person that was most experienced in warfare from all the generals currently at the Kurultai, Xun Yun. "Ladies and gentlemen" he said, "There is a solution here you are not seeing. We can simply expand to the east using our landship and can let the AIR build more factories there. At the same time we will only expand into the fringes of the polar region using our armies and build research stations there, so we can devise a way to protect our landships against the cold. Our construction efforts are better used elsewhere than in the east, which doesn't have as many tribes or natives as the south. Yuri could agree with this compromise, and prepared to speak up, when a young man, perhaps not even twenty years old, burst into the room. "Unknown vessels near the western coast!" He shouted. Arman Nurzhan immediately replied with "Tell our coastal cannons and forts to communicate with and fire upon those vessels. "But Sir, they have already landed, as our coastal guns have done nothing." The young man replied as General Anderson shot Arman a look of amusement over the fact that the fortifications he spent so much time building had become useless. "Alright, enough" Yuri said to everyone at the Kurultai. "This is a historical moment for our nation as it is the first time we have found people on this planet. I will be going there. Katie and Xun, you will be coming with me." "I will be coming as well," General Nurzhan said, "I need to talk to my officers about the fact that they're not doing anything when there are unknown forces on our shore." The four went into an elevator taking them to the top floor of the building, where an old transport helicopter was already waiting. "To the west coast." Khan Yuri said to the pilot. A few hours later the helicopter landed near one of the forts that had been constructed a month earlier. A squad of twelve heavily armed soldiers was already waiting for them and escorted the generals to the place where these new visitors had been spotted last.
