[quote=@Aceofreality] They wrote down some notes on what Darston had explained. "Very interesting!" one of the people sitting at the table said and they were all impressed by what he had explained also. "Some of the people here are different aswell, because we were once a small group of nations and some indigenous civilized tribes. Though our differences no longer matter as we are united against a common foe and united in a common language and customs." the commander said. _ A few of the smaller cannon boats were taken out and they sunk in smoldering ruins. Some of their people jumped off and starting swimming to shore though 2 more of the Yahupi battleships remained as some of the others were taken out. Though a few other cannonboats and 1 more battleship joined in the area and started firing upon the VNMS Trionator and it's escorts. The firefight continued and the Yahupi would not stop until every last man fought to the death or turned to side with the VNMS Trionator. One of the small cannon boats stops firing and the crew onboard that particular ship surrender though the others continue firing exploding cannonballs and musketfire. The Yahupi have started distributing some of the weapons they had found in the Shupoli airships (Plasma Weapons) to where the main battles are occurring with the Veilletes Republic and the Federation. The Federation had did much the same thing as they started to do raids on coastal towns of nearby Yahupi islands and forces stationed there. [/quote] Darston was started to mind thought about the ethnicity of Yahupi Confederacy after knowing that the Federation was collectively united of many provinces because of the conflict. "Other than knowing about the Federation short history, how did Yahupi Confederacy came into power by the way? There was a certain times where many places of this area were peaceful, right?" said Darston. - The VNMS Trionator's fleet was still clearing a small area of the strait until every one of the Yahupi ships are gone for another maritime invasion. Sadly, they're still haven't achieved a naval superiority from the next course of said battle. One of the light cruiser was already heavily damaged by the constant barrage of cannonade fire and thus immediately sailed back to the closest port available, the town of newly erected Rofstiem. In the meantime, the Colonial Government of Veilletes from the acquired east territories (near the Trogo Kingdom) have requested their port authority to start the chain production of a new modern destroyers for filling their void on fleet formation and recruiting foreign people (mostly influenced Yahupi citizens/volunteers) at Rofstiem to build up Veilletes military power at Yahupi Strait. In their accounts of power at Yahupi Strait, the Veilletes Republic has manage to strengthen their manpower up to 15,000 more banded soldiers of their newly created army branch at the Yahupi Strait, The Veilletes-Yahupi Foreign Legion. [quote=@Apple] [i]ooc: the boardroom is in a office structure in the port, the castle is 2 kilometers inland.[/i] The Lady is happy to talk about the castle. "Castle Weisswolf is my second home. It's built in traditional Northern Europa style by our ancestors and has been renovated over the years with a recent upgrade works last year. The castle serves as base of operations here in the east, with its large port as you can see. Castle Weisswolf Port is the home port of the Eastern Fleet and its flagship, TNS Jibril."

He picks it up and holds it with his rifle awkward but doesn't make a peep. "Again, I have permission to conduct international relations on behalf of Queen Freja. Since you are keen on our architecture, you are welcome to a quick guided tour of the castle. It is a 5 minute drive." [/quote] "Intriguing. I would like to thank for your positive offer for a quick tour of queen's castle. Also, do you know any national [b]*ahem*[/b] sorry I meant, the royal history about this magnificent place?" said the Veilletes Ambassador. [quote=@jorcool] Stephen thought for a second. Then he replied "Although the Khaganate would like a non-agression pact with your nation, these are terms we simply cannot abide to, and would give you an advantage above us. If this demilitarized zone were to exist, only our most northern ports would actually be able to launch any military ships. While you are on an island, so you could easily dominate the rest of this lake. Not to mention that we won't be able to protect any of our civilian vessels from pirates or worse using more than just the coast guard, and we can't protect our territorial waters against our southern neighbour. However, I do think establishing an embassy is a good idea, although we want to establish an embassy in your nation as well. However, seeing as this non-agression pact includes terms that are not beneficial to us, we decline it, and would like to propose a non-agression pact with only the embassy term. The image of the map was sent somewhere else for further research. The treasure ship landed softly on the concrete pad. The squadron of five planes circled above the treasure ship for a bit, before flying away to somewhere in the distance. When the crew walked out they were greeted by a twelve heavily armed men. Their leader said "Our merchants are still on their way here to negotiate the trade deal. We would like to know what you have on board." [/quote] "If you only abide to the embassy term with changes that is alright, then this pact cannot be a non-aggression pact because there's no alteration or certain involvement from a military and more like.. err.. you know.. A 'diplomatic establishment of two nations' treaty. Can we forge a short compensation or compromise from a demilitarized zone for something else that you're wishes to change? I'm not going home peacefully with a partial, half completed diplomatic mission!" tempered by the Kronfurter. [quote=@Uncle Spanky] In the sky, a UFO is getting closer and closer, before they know it it's right in front of them. The ramp opens and the blinding white light shines brighter than the sun as the two Martians enter the ship. They wait for the Outpost Officer and the soldiers to step into the ship. Once they do enter, the interior is spacious and cold. They can immediately see a large control panel with a huge, green screen above it, displaying similar interface to the disc that the Martian pulled out, but not the green tint. The room itself is square despite the round design of the UFO. There are two metal doors to the left and right, each having a keypad to presumably open them. Two other Martians are at the control panel, and turn to see the Officer and soldiers enter. They turn back to the screen and press a couple of buttons, suddenly large rectangular panels of wall start to slide up. The locations of the panels are on the wall mostly but there is a circular one on the ceiling. Behind those opening panels were windows. The screen displays a "window" of it's own by showing what appears to be some type of video feed in the center of the screen, giving a wide range of vision to what's in front of the spacecraft. The ramp closes up and the landing legs fold. The ship rapidly shoots up about twenty feet into the air, but the strange thing is that the soldiers inside felt almost nothing, that would normally result in them flying into the ceiling and getting a nasty concussion as soon as the ship stops, right? What is this alien sorcery? Before you could get finished questioning that, the ship then instantly starts flying towards the Colony. Entering the forcefield, they can see mostly nothing but red fog on the ground and barely anything else. In the distance a cluster of buildings surrounds a huge, white rectangular structure that seems to stretch up forever. Though for a brief second they spot something rising out of the fog, but it's gone before they can make out anything. [/quote] The small band of outpost officer's soldiers felt some envy for not feeling the gravitational movement after lifting off within the UFO. Alien sorcery irritated the soldiers, but since they have been onto certain 'stuffs' and saw something far more worst than just an ordinary alien encounters, they're just keeping themselves cool for now. The outpost officer on another hand rarely cares anything about the situation of his soldier's problem, and saw an interesting interior design of a martian UFO on his first visit. "So how does this UFO thing works that defy the law of physics? On a small scale to me at least." said Outpost Officer of AA.
