ea of Artermia,
20 KM of the Coast of Artemia
The wind tore through the convoy, whistling sharply as it raced past the ships. Waves rose and crashed against the decks, each impact causing the vessels to lurch and strain as if the sea itself were testing their resolve. Overhead, dark clouds rolled in, heavy and menacing, a sure sign that a violent storm was drawing near. As the incident remind back the sudden interruption from the Western Union Fleet that were going to going towards the Task Force direction. The Seventh Fleet were already devastated within 14 minutes of firefight. The following that day, as the First Fleet and the couple of the Wyvern Squadron finally arrived .. they were sadden to see that one of their strongest fleet were wiped out as the remaining crumbles hull of one of the ship were visible. Tons of dead body afloat and scattered around the area .. with flames still burning up caused by the oil spill .. the scene brought tears as the crew yet pilot from the First Fleet and the Wyvern Squadron seeing their dead brothers completely abolished .. yet the remaining lives of the crew from the Seventh Fleet were quickly rescued from the water and head back to Weinno ..
The task force and the convoy were still on their way on the open sea .. with the interruption still remind the Admiral Leonscloth .. Major General Brooke D. Thompson.. and Captain Joel W. Curtis .. seeing the sudden unknown forces that they didn’t even know were abolished without thinking a second .. yet after a week of sailing on the open sea .. finally there’s hope to catch , until one of the scout plane detected a nearby Island, that were just 20 KM from their fleet position ..
— “ A land ?” Joel look at his radar operator report about the discovery about a land that were just 20 KM from their position, exactly west from the fleet position.. As a new hope sparks, for their to settle for .. it’s not fun being on the open sea for so long. As threat could be engage again out of nowhere

Day 1
Principality of Artemia . A small kingdom that were ruled by Princess Scylla that located at the Normandia Continent .. Artemia were once a part of the kingdom of Bastallion. Principality of Artemia were known for their resources as iron, gold, food and much more. With a multiple races that lived there. As one princess manage to gain power from times to times until a majority and 2/4 of the kingdom territories were under the Principality of Artemia . Kingdom of Bastallion were soon conquered by the Kingdom of Tal-Mien .
A conquest followed by a ruthless siege. Much of the royal monarch, civilian, and soldier fled into Principality of Artemia. With Artemia the only country left, being surrounded by all direction .. with ocean is their only option to leave and escaped. But the princess didn’t fall down yet, as she insist the fight and hold up the overwhelming force from Tal-Mien. With roughly .. 45,000 soldier .. they only could defend each of their town and city .. as waiting hope to be given to them. Meanwhile the Tal-Mien with their much more far better technologies from the Artemia, with catapult, trebuchet and ballista, with 100,000 strong soldier ready to siege.
The tense air filled every citizen of the principality itself. But they do have not choice to surrender, or not have a time to escape the encirclement. Even so escape is a great idea, but it would take days or weeks to complete .. yet, the enemy far better technologies of weapon and warfare could make the principality fallen in 3 to 4 days of conquest if no any defensive position located.
They don’t have no choice .. but to fight.
As spoken, the first day of the siege has started. From city to another city fallen .. with ruthless torture .. and the rape of the women in the city .. by the hand of the dirty Tal-Mien .. all cried, knowing the enemies would not let go of them .. the city was full with abrupt flames .. as scorching in heat ..
— “ Please d-don’t ..! T-take me instead..! Not my daughter ..!! “ the mother cried upon the enemies feet as she bowed down with her daughter on her back .. tears welled up on her face .. letting them to have “fun” with her instead rather than her daughter
She continue to plead .. the soldier there was already enjoying the scene, followed with laugh and lustful thought. The city itself were already destroyed, nothing left to do but to have “fun” before continuing on their rampage.
— “ She’s crying. “ as one of the soldier laughing, looking down at the single mother who bowed and pleading at his feet. He played a little, with his feet put at her head, resembles her dignity already destroyed with the soldier feet on her head, playing with her head.
The laugh continue. The single mother truly didn’t enjoy this insult were given towards her .. but she has no choice to sacrifices for her own daughter . After loss her husband during the siege of the city .. she can’t hold much more how hurt she are .
One of the soldier soon grinned, as lust could be seen over his face.
— “ Say .. we have fun with the mother. Also .. her daughter. “ he spoke.
The mother look up ahead, shocking to hear the fact that even her sacrifices in her own body didn’t fully satisfied they yet.
— “ Please ..! Not my daught-!” before she could end her sentences, her face got stomp by the soldier. Her daughter cried also, as the soldier quickly grabbed them and head towards the abandoned house . Even so, the two of them .. the mother and the daughter cried on their way as the soldier pushed them towards the abandoned house.
One ripped of the shirt of the victims. The mother were horrified with the intention of the soldier already, looking down laughing and clearly enjoy this insult towards her daughter and herself. As one abusively hitting her and one start doing rape towards her daughter, and .. herself.
All could be heard from the outside was no much but screaming of pain , hopeless and laughing of the soldier itself. It’s cruel how they use the local citizen for their own satisfied tools as the men were tortured until death and .. the women were raped and used for their tools for satisfy. Their face are now hopeless, as the scream faded. The gangbang were horrible .. the mother all could do is holding her daughter hand as she also face the same situation.
Eventually, before both of them got excuted.. their body were drench in sweat, with the liquid of the ejaculation , and torn-up vagina. Their body feel numb and their jaw hurting. The soldier quickly geared up their, as ready to laying a siege on a new city and town. Her daughter cried, as her mother were already devastated .. as her eyes kept looking on her . No words. No expression.
— “ Mo-mother.. !” her cried getting loud. Seeing her mother were already dead from the “experience” she got . The screaming of tears suddenly catch the soldier attention for being loud.
Soon her fate would followed the same as her mother. As one of the soldier slay their sword upon the young girl.
Their body were left on the abandoned house. The death of the mother and the girl.
Seeing how ruthless the enemy soldier are .. the men insisted to fight and die with their defending their city or town from the enemies brutal torture and raping. Meanwhile the man and husband of their spouse holding back their position, all of the women and children were told to left the city to escape the brutal session that will do by the enemies.
Day Four,
The conquest has now reach multiple city, as their rampage and ruthless warfare leading the downfall of morale for each soldier and citizen .. all left was a couple of city, towns .. and eventually the capital city. Most of the women and children and Nobel were already left the capital city and seek refuge towards another kingdom that were already being friendship with Artemia. The princess never leaves her castle . As she insisted on fighting on the enemies and die on this place.
— “ Princess ..! You need to leave this place as soon as possib- “ the knight word stop by the princess. She stood up and look at him, her eyes filled with desperate but flame tormented in her eyes .. resembles the will to keep on fighting.
— “ I will not .” she look on him, as everyone around the room followed. Then she continues.. “If so, I’ll rather die fighting those pitiful sinful person. Get your gear arm, knight !” the determination lead over their eyes.. with their main mission to lead the princess out of the principality, but then replaced with hopes to fight.
The princess also wear her own armored. As the enemies could been seen to be prepared with their siege .. “ soon they’ll attack out of nowhere .. with those trebuchet and catapult ..” she said.
The knight nod in acknowledgment. As he stood beside her, from the balcony that have a view of the whole city itself. —” I .. understand princess.” He look at her, soon the princess followed a small smile looking at the knight itself.
— “ I’m sorry. If our wedding preparation were disturbed by those sinful person.” Her eyes were like almost teared up .. but she look at him again, looking at her most loved person.. “I love you “ she continued.
The knight soon smile upon her words. Knowing her love and embrace for him was eternal. He look forward again, seeing the view of the enemies preparing their siege.
— “ We shall get ready .. my love .” he spoke. The princess hides her own flustered face away .. soon a determined face pop up on her face. She also look towards her front, the main wall of the city. .. …
Soon .. the city was besiege .. but it was much harder for the enemies to penetrate the main wall and the heavy defense that the Artemia soldier provided. It were enough for them to hold out as much of the civilian .. mostly women and children were departed from the main city and seek refuge towards another kingdom that already has relationship with, .. but soon it all stopped as the enemies warship as entered the city main port and waters, making the withdrawal of the women and children impossible. All citizen then we’re left to the city, and scared knowing the enemies finally got them .. from the sea and the land .. … all they did was prayed .. waiting for help that would arrive ..
USS Wasp,
16 KM of the Coast of Artemia,
The scene now took in the bridge of USS Wasp, with Captain Joel W. Curtis looking at their own problem now . The scout plane that were just arrived reported about the land that they were about to settle was in a conquering phase . With the photos provided ..giving a clear and visible the currently situation. Most of the picture that were showed are the aftermath of the battle from the city and town that left burning. Most notable, the siege of the main city.
— “ I guess .. those people would fall in a matter of hours .” one of the officer on the bridge speak. The situation on the room filled with tense pressure, after looking at the city via photos that were provided.
The heavy silence between everyone soon break, as Captain Joel speak up. – “Report this to Admiral Leonscloth, we can’t act own on this situation .. “ the commander gives the information towards the radio operator. Soon, information was received in USS Washington ..the flagship of the whole fleet. A soldier running down the long hall of the ship, as the admiral weren’t on the bridge. With the information on his hand, the cold sweat running down his forehead as he keep searching for him.
And finally, he was able to located the admiral. It was on his own room.
— “ Admiral ..! “ the young officer spoke. He salute as he stepped in the admiral room.
The admiral were just finished his cigar. His reaction slow but not tense, as he turn his gaze towards the young officer. Apparently, he was not frustrated because of not knocking and asking for permission like the other admiral of commander would be. He was cool though, because he already sense wrong is already closing to them. “Speak.” he command.
The young officer soon gave him the letter about the information.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
— “We got a report from USS Wasp .. one of their scout plane detected a nearby land that were just west from us. But following the information given .. it seems the land were a territory for a country or kingdom they said ..” the young officer look at the admiral with tense. Knowing obviously that the gossip of the crew about they were in another world were true ..
The admiral continue to read the information as the young officer spoke. He put the letter away as he look at the young officer. – “ and about the conquest of another country toward the territory itself right? “ the admiral look at him. Soon he replied back; “ Yes, sir. It seems .. the land were talking were belong towards another country and we’re in a conquest between their enemies .. looking down the situation.. it may look .. they already losing. Notable .. it seems their weapon warfare travelled back to the medieval area .. “
The situation were recalled of the conquest of Tal-Mien towards Artemia. Even though they don’t know the name of the Principality and the kingdom and were though it was just the usual country .
The admiral raised on of his eyebrow as the young officer mention medieval era. It’s true, that most of the kingdom at the Normandia Continent were mostly in medieval area. Soon the admiral walk to the bridge as the young officer followed from his back. His presence tense everyone upon the bridge. –“ I know you guys already knew about it.” He look at the radio operator then, “remind Major General Brooke D. Thompson for readying his troop .. we may have a intervention between those country fight.” His command were clear and loud. With the operator then sends the information about the situation they have right now, with the direct order from the admiral to readying his troop for further intervention if needed ..
As minutes passed by, the whole fleet already knew about this current situation. As they sailed towards the East and heads towards the Coast of Artemia. A squadron of 12 F6F Hellcats from the USS Ranger, a squadron of 11 V. F4U Corsair , from USS Wasp, and 6 SBD Dauntless from the Bouge, were already prepared their planes over their flight deck .. checking for fuel and weapon load out armaments. Admiral Leonscloth and Major General Brooke D. Thompson were the lead figure for this operation, meanwhile Commander Joel W. Curtis from USS Wasp, Commander Hawther from USS Ranger, and Commander Leonard Forsche of the USS Bouge .. their figure were given responsibility for the air operator and the support attack. If the intervention needed .. the planes were still on standby from their flight deck, waiting for the result to be given by Major General Brooke, or Admiral Leonscloth. With Leonscloth arrived at the convoy ship were Major General Brooke stayed , followed with Captain Joel, Captain Hawther, and Captain Leonard .. the quick session of meeting on the convoy ship soon started .. meanwhile there’s another delegate for the commander over the bridge .. leading the ship now.
After a small and quick meeting, Admiral Leonscloth requested a destroyer squadron to go ahead into much closer towards the Coast of the Artemia .. with USS Laffey, USS Gearing, USS Farragut and USS Kidd designated as Destroyer Squadron .. soon fall and break from their current formation .. and continue with their mission which are sails ahead near the shore and clear out any unwanted obstacles that could hold out the landing operation and find a suitable landing site. Soon the four destroyer already leave their position from each task force and taffy, and sail towards the target.
The F6F Hellcats , V. F4U Corsair, and the Dauntless still remain on standby as waiting for a clearance to fly. Meanwhile at the convoy troop ship, Major General Brooke D. Thompson instructed of a regiment, consist around 2,500 troops and 10 “Easy Eight” Sherman’s . The 1st Regiment were also on a hold of standby, waiting for the clearance from the Major General himself, as most of them already aboard the LVT-4 (Water Buffalo), and the LST’s for the Sherman’s . .. ...
It seems they will followed the battle soon .. following the intervention between the fight and clashes of Tal-Mien and Artemia.
USS Kidd, (Lead Ship)
5 Kilometers from the Coast of Artemia
The day broke clear and bright, the clock striking 9:00 a.m. Four destroyers cut through the calm waters, tasked with scouting the nearby coast of Artemia. Their mission: to find a suitable landing site for an approaching force and clear out any obstacles that could ruin the whole operation. In the distance, a thick veil of grayish-black clouds loomed, a stark reminder that the siege was far from over. The capital, battered but unyielding, still stood its ground against the onslaught. The four destroyers moved in a disciplined line formation, their sleek hulls cutting through the waves with precision. Leading the group was the USS Kidd, its imposing silhouette a symbol of readiness and resolve as it spearheaded the scouting mission along the coast.
Formation: Straight Line
Front: USS Kidd
Second: USS Laffey
Middle: USS Farragut
Back: USS Gearing
“We’re now 5 KM from the shore, Commander !” as the radar operator reported. Yes, they could see the shore now, as a thick heavily grey-ish flocked cloud appears on the skies, resembles a fight has been started. The commander, nodded in acknowledged.
The four destroyer still sails deeper into the principality territories . The sound were quiet but no rather than the sound of the waves clashes with their dock. All sailor was on the standby, watching the current .. the destroyer squadron sails ahead towards the shore until they turn starboard and their position were horizontally from the shore. The four destroyer were scouting for a possible threat that could do towards the landing craft .. and any suitable landing position rather than those rocky hill. We ain’t doing the marine Okinawa stuff ..
Their sails caught the attention of the Tal-Mien ship .. their ship was similar towards the medieval era type ship .. with cannons on their port and starboard side .. but still the four destroyer didn’t caught before because they weren’t that large like those Tal-Mien ship ..
The crew really liking the view. A huge ship .. the similar appearance of the Man-O-War ship type. Seems like .. it was their flagship. Talk were heard among crew and sailor, talking about the huge fleet over there port side, currently doing a bombardment. .. …
— “Look at that.” A young sailor speak. As his friend over his side, speak also. “Damn ship. They got .. like .. 34 ships in total !” he shouted. The two were best friend, since childhood. Their journey would capture the greatest moment they have recall.. yet a sudden, an alarm break off within the ship.
As the alarm break off. A large of splashes were scattered around them .. luckily not hitting. Further into the scene ..it was actually a cannon .. that’s been fired from that Man-O-War.. signaling readying for battle. As expected.. the veteran of the destroyer quickly manned their position , as the alarm kept whistling.
— “ Its seems .. our position has been caught, Commander.” The officer spoke. As he look again towards the huge fleet port side of them. Currently doing bombardment. But now they are engaging the US Ship.
It wasn’t take long for them to take notice .. it wasn’t an ordinary ship .. but rather a steel metal ship sailing around and observing their position of doing bombardment ..?! .. The scene took in the Man-O-War ship … it’s not a similar Man-O-War but similar.. a huge fleet with 34 ships, with 3 of them are the Man-O-War type .. A heavily decorated captain, looking at his own monocular towards the 4 ship sailing across them. The heavily decorated was telling him was an old-veteran of their royal navy. Soon, young one speak;
— “ Does it hit, sire? “ the young officer .. looks like he was an assistant towards their captain. He ask, also looking at the destroyer squadron. All sailor observe the view .. mean while some of them still engaging with the bombardment.
The captain stop looking at his monocular.
— “ No it didn’t. But we sure did get their attention. “ the captain spoke. Not even scared by those four destroyer. Because he thought it was just a small ship .. rather it was more longer than the Man-O-War. Believing in their own self esteem .. as egoist rush deep down their blood .. knowing they could handle the four small metal ship. With a light chuckles, he sends a ship of its own to confront it. Wanting the four ship to surrender towards the Tal-Mien.
A ship was then departed and break away from her position. As sailing towards the four destroyer. An attempted was made, even so they were confronting four “small” ship, they thought .. they thought it was a small fight with their egoism . Knowing their fleet is much bigger than those four destroyer .. even so, they never met a metal ship .. they could get a hand on one of those, the captain spoke. As he sends out his one ship to confront the destroyer and demand to surrender.
I can’t believe that they’ll face the reality of the destroyer rather their own imagination of a small metal ship with small cannon. .. …
— “ Commander ! “ everyone on the bridge of USS Kidd were left shock to see their braveness of the enemy itself. Again, the crew then reported the sight; “Bearing 248 ! A vessel are now approaching us ! “ the loud shout were heard among the crew.
The Commander of the USS Kidd then observing the view from the bridge balcony, with the binocular on his hand. Yet, it was true. A lone vessel were approaching them. Seeing with binocular, an army of soldier standing on the vessel with weapon their raised over their head, with mouth chanting their always succession .
“ Commander ! “ a young crewman called him, then he continued; “ Commander of USS Farragut, demanded for a quick action. “
The commander raised his arm slight above the chest area, as he meant to put on hold of the call that were take. He look again, at the lone vessel, approaching close towards their line formation .. approximate 987 meters from the formation. As the commander was still observing, the lone vessel start firing it’s cannon from the front, as the arrow were released by the archers from the enemies of the lone vessel. Seconds before an act happen.. he look at the young crewman who were holding the radio that were communicated with the commander of the USS Farragut ..
A loud cheers and smirk raised upon the soldier. As one of them, raised their sword . “Remember ! We shall take those ship no matter what ! Glory to the Tal-Mien !” The leaders of the ship spoke, giving a speech for their assault towards the middle formation ship, USS Farragut. With loud cheers and chant , they were ready. To give all they got towards Farragut.
— “ Give em’ hell of what you got ! You’re clear for taking out an obstacle in the way ! “ A rain of arrows were fired upon the Farragut. With their front cannon fired, missed an inch of the stern of the ship. Even so, it didn’t do anything, but luckily no any soldier were harm from the sudden attack. As the vessel start getting much closer towards the Farragut, it turns into her starboard side, with all of the vessel starboard side aiming at the Farragut.
“ Loud and clear ! Dismissed. “ the commander of the Farragut closed his communication. He look at his right hand command, giving a nod .. signaling to start attack the vessels.
The front armament. Mark 12 5”/38-caliber gun , of the first and the second turning it’s barrel towards the closing vessel. The soldier of the vessel itself were prepared to ram their self over the Farragut and take in command of the ship. But .. as the two of cannon already turning it’s gun, and aim perfectly at the vessel. A shot was fired from the first and second Mark 12 5”/38-caliber gun. Without a second, as their fuse of the cannon already started .. but it was far too late.
The first shot from the first front armament easily penetrate the hull of the wooden vessel. But lightly damage as the wood easily to be penetrate. But the second shot from the second front armament of the Mark 12 5”/38-caliber gun hit the port side of the vessel. Creating a large explosion towards the whole ship. With fire already start spreading within the deck .. and finally the whole ship. Followed by the Anti Air Gun, the “Bofors” start shooting upon the whole ship. Devastating the whole soldier and the crew of the vessel.. within 25 seconds into the firefight. The lone vessel already sunken into the deep ocean.
The crew of the Farragut really give a hell out of them. Within 30 seconds.. the vessel already sunken to ocean grounds. Seeing the threat already eliminated. The commander command them cease fire. All the weapon armament of the Farragut stopped, as waiting for the next action. The sailor were quick .. reloading back their gun before sit tightly their self towards their battle station.
— “ Threat eliminated. Shall we continue the operation ? “ he gave a slight chuckles within his voice. The commander of the Farragut reported back to the lead ship, after confirming. The commander of the USS Kidd reported the incident that were already taken .. about the obstacles they have faced that could be a threat toward the landing operation. .. …
USS Washington
— “ A report ! From the Kidd. “ he gave the information to Leonscloth hand. He give a yet stern look towards the information. An attack? From who? .. he said in mind. A large fleet .. within the area of the landing operation .. approximate 34 vessels .. a wooden warship .. equip with cannon .. soldier and archers on their deck. Leonscloth look with confused .. he look around the bridge.
Everyone was already waiting him for the next command. A yet determination face could be seen from all faces. The four destroyer slowed their speed, as waiting for the next command from the lead ship of the fleet.
— “ S-sir ! Rayhold ship were sent to obliterated ! “ he reported towards the leader. A confused yet shock were shown from his face. He could not trust that his well renowned navy friend was already terminated .. how ? How ? How? .. the young crew spoke again ; “They were .. defeated in 30 seconds into the firefight ..” he look down.
He stood up, enraged by the report that he just heard. Seems like . . It weren’t an ordinary metal ship that he already underestimated .. he walk up at the deck and look back upon the situation .. the four destroyer was rather slow paced .. as the crumble and left scattered wooden platform afloat at he sea .. he couldn’t bear it ..
— Legion A ! Commence an attack to those bastards ! “ he spoke. The loud voice were already heard .. yet the Legion A .. consist of one Man-O-War ship with .. 12 vessels were sails towards the destroyer squadron. A hateful and enrage warriors of the Tal-Mien .. as their courage and morale rose quickly.. after seeing their brother had fallen.
The scene then caught the attention of all the four commander of the destroyer squadron. Still .. waiting the Leonscloth command .. after 2 minutes .. a new plan operation was called;
—” Commander ! The flagship command us to continue to eliminating a possible threat toward our landing forces. A support were on their way .. as a squadron of 11 V. F4U was tasked ..helping the four destroyer with their support. But, aren’t the four destroyer was enough to take care all of them? Yes. Obviously, no doubt. But .. the landing operation were already commence .. without thinking of waiting to eliminated the threat first .
With the first departure of a squadron of 11 V. F4U Corsair heading towards the destroyer squadron location to help fight those bastards, and then cleared out the beach obstacles that were just north from the main capital .. next to a village. Soon, Operation Hammer was commence ..
The roaring engines .. from the both squadron of the F6F Hellcats and the Dauntless. Both the flight deck of the Wasp and Bogue. The first regiment were already en route towards the landing area .. followed with the LST’s . Both Force were stern .. but truly the Tal-Mien didn’t have choice .. as all the Task Force .. Fleet A, Fleet B, Fleet Z, and Taffy 1 were already en route towards the landing area. Followed by the convoy and merchant ship. It was .. another battle .. seeing that the start of the US Naval Fleet and the 2nd Armored Division intervention ..
.
The troops aboard the landing craft stood firm, their expressions hardened with determination. They knew their adversaries were primitive by comparison—medieval-era soldiers wielding crude weapons—but complacency could still cost lives if they underestimated the fight ahead. The relentless waves pounded against the craft, their rhythmic violence sparking bouts of dizziness and vomiting among the men.
Overhead, F6F Hellcats roared through the sky, their powerful engines drowning out the crash of the surf. The sunlight bathed the scene in a golden glow, transforming the chaos into something almost cinematic. In that fleeting moment of beauty, hope flickered in the hearts of the soldiers. Quiet prayers spilled from their lips as they clung to their faith, trusting that God would see them safely through this strange and perilous world.
..
