1st of Aquarian, 176th NLC, Eastern Military District, Morskochelovek ESR, Lolilandia. 07:00 of morning.
Its time for once again to carry out the traditional Khoungya Military Exercises. Only this time though, it will be primarily involving new weapon that was revealed last year. But in order to keep it secret, it will be using the downgraded versions. On the top of that, Upgraded Sackpack Ships (also armed with Conventional Guns) also partaking the said exercise. It didn't take long to realized for the LPA Troops that this year's Khoungya will be far different than the usual ones. No planes, no ships nor APC's or Tanks involved. Just a set of new Body Armor System, Weapons and Hardware. The setting of the Khoungya were also mostly focusing on Planetary Operations, ranging from Invasion to Interventions. And since they have to use conventional ones, they have to make do and act as if using Railgun Armaments. And it wasn't the Officials will be watching, but also the Anmiusian Goddesses, specially their own dearest Cinnamonia.
08:00 of morning.
The large, empty space of the Eastern Military District, as well as the Sea nearby made this Khoungya Exercise so special. They can take the drill very seriously. The first of it were General Offensive, but since its mostly Armored Sackpacks and MBG's. It was a new and took few seconds before getting the grip of it. To make it as it firing Railguns, barrels were had to make it for shorter, easier overheating in order to focus on short bursts since Original, Railgun ones charges energy a lot before being fired upon making overheating become more common. The only downside of this, was this new Military tech had to be made from purely and entirely Lolium. But with the Lolium Ore Facilities being "planted" in SEO-1 meant that the production in large numbers were possible. Back to the simulation site, many LPA Soldiers are overjoyed by the new sets of weapons and hardware. LPA Soldiers also looked way different, as they are equipped with what appears to be Exo-suit coupled with Heavy Lolium-made Full Body Armor with pads in front, sides, even in limbs and specially in the back. Non-human LPA Soldiers, with exception of Dryads, Slimes, and those Humanoid with Tentacles are also equipped with Exo-suit as well. The difference between of these with the rest are the fact, they only have Jump Kits and Full Heavy Lolium Armor, as the rest of LPA Troops have Jump Kits attached to their Exo-suits. Nonetheless, they all perform the simulation properly.

The second day continues from yesterday. For this session, the implementation of Mechanized Warfare were to be carried out, with LPA Soldiers in Armored Exo-suits, Firearms, either Railgun Rifles or the R34W-EM (A modernized version of R34W Mana-powered Assault Rifle) accompanying their Comrades piloting MBG's. At this point, the MBG's are now the Original ones compared yesterday due to changes demand by the Ministry of Defense. It turned out that Conventional variants didn't meet the expectations of the Defense Minister despite its full excellent performance. The true power of Railguns were finally saw in action. Even the Slime soldiers were even terrified at this new powe they are witnessing. After initial shocks, they went back to carry on and proceed as planned. The second day ended smoothly without any further problems.
3rd of Aquarian, 176th NLC. 07:00 of morning.
The third day of Khoungya centers to the Battle capacity of Armored Sackpacks. For this purpose, they were to provide Fire Support for their Comrades doing most of fighting. The Armored Sackpacks also demonstrate one new thing along the way. Drop pods were deployed carrying LPA Soldier, fully equipped. Unlike in previous exercises, their advance went slow and more cautious. Given the fact that they might encounter an Enemy that can potentially go toe-to-toe in terms of Technology if not above them. The procedure went well at the end of the day.
4th of Aquarian, 176th NLC. 06:30 of morning.
Today's session went earlier as usual but continues from yesterday. At this point, many LPA Officials from other Military District arrived to observe the exercises.
5th of Aquarian, 176th NLC. 07:00 of morning.
This time, the observer that happened to visit was none other than the Alfkhaishan Ambassador to the People's Federal Republic of Lolilandia, Kalmun. His purpose is to see what kind of weapons Alfkhaisha will get later on. The simulation takes place in the Sea and went well until the end of the day.

6th of Aquarian, 176th NLC. Outside of Planet Anmius. 07:00 of morning.
The Khoungya Exercises today took just outside of Anmius. For the first time, Space Warfare were to implemented. As such, only Armored Sackpacks were to participate, due to MBG's are currently incapable of flying. But alas, the simulation went well.
7th of Aquarian, 176th NLC. Outside of Planet Anmius. 07:00 of morning.
The final day of this year's Khoungya Exercises will be All-out Planetary Defense. This is one of the reasons why Sackpacks had to be upgraded. The MBG's flying will be added later, so they have to do with the Sackpacks, but enough for LPA Troops to familiarize themselves on what was Space Warfare and Defending their precious home from the outside of their Planet was like.

10th of Aquarian, 176th NLC. Alfkhaishan Federation. 07:00 of morning. (01:00 of afternoon in Lolilandia)
The brand new Military Hardware and Equipment, including Exo-suits were delivered to Alfkhaisha through Lolilandia's New Ambassadress, Lila Malashenkova (Rabbitfolk) and is received by AFA's Chief-of-Staff.
Lila: Here's the Equipment you ordered for, Comrade.
?: Thank you. We are looking forward for our Joint Military Exercise soon.
Lila: On side note, our MBG's can't fly yet. And we are working to fix it.
?: We understand. These are already more than enough to be. Not to mention those new suits with shiny limb-like metals.
Lila: Ah. Those are Exo-suits. Exoskeleton System to help Soldiers not having an Orc-like Strength like humans to carry Railgun Weapons. Since they're 10% heavier than currently issued weapons.
?: Ah I see. Hmm?
The Chief-of-Staff notice a strange part at the lower back of the suit.
?: Uh. What is this thing?
Lila: Jump Kits. Excellent way to jump high enough to vault over uh.... A large bridge or very tall walls.
?: Interesting. This will be a huge overall improvement.
Lila: Exactly. Though we still have R34W and the modernized version.
?: That's fine. We still be purchasng them and the R34W's. Might never know who's who were Magic users within.
Lila: Alright. You can take a good look at the new Equipment guys. I'll be heading back to the Embassy to continue my work. See you next time.
The AFA Soldiers take indeed a good look at the new Equipment they just received. The Exo-suits were well received and the Railguns were impressived, even though it is even heavier than Tube launchers and MANPADS. Thus only those who wore the suit can carry the Railguns. The said Railgun revealed its name on the box. It was called E-69 Energy Assault Rifle. The Exo-suit were called Ughomnia (Ancient Lolilandic Word translating to Warrior/Soldier) U-34. Of course, this deal between Alfkhaisha and Lolilandia were not only Top Secret, but also Off-the-Books. Lolilandia knew that the entire CAP Alliance will quick to line up to purchase them. Problem is that these aren't Officially on the Mass Production phase yet and hoped it will took at least another decade before being available to everyone else. Not mention they cannot sell the MBG's to them since it cannot fly yet and it will probably be problem for them. So for the time being, these brand new Hardware were only between Lolilandia and Alfkhaisha. Fortunately, only Alfkhaisha has the Embassy in the Lolilandia's Eastern Region, unlike the rest of CAP Nations sitting right in Serdtsenograd.
Golden Cinnamonian Palace, Serdtsenograd, Hoomun ESR, Lolilandia. 02:00 of afternoon.
In the heart of the People's Federal Republic of Lolilandia, the Officials are reviewing the outcome of the Khoungya 176 Exercises. Although many are impressed and satified, there is one result that became a concern that they all hopeful to be solved through upgrading. That is the Main Battle Golem's ability to fly. But the Technology Minister prefer different way of upgrade as she wants MBG's to shapeshift into Aircraft-like for easier convenience. An idea quickly accepted by everyone else in the room, including the Premier and the Defense Minister.
Oksana: Very Genius move, Technology Minister.
?: Thank you, Comrade Premier.
The meeting concluded with a new plan: Upgrade the Main Battle Golems to grant its ability to transform into Aircraft mode and Vice Versa. The Defense Minister also introduce the new Branch of the LPA dedicated for the Fleet of Armored Sackpacks, Exo LPA Troops and the MBG's called "Interspace Defense Services" making it the 7th Branch of the Lolilandic People's Army. This Branch will be equipped with all of new Military Technology and to be sent out on Future Space Expeditions. And all of this were done right under the noses of its own allies. While Lolilandia fully trusts its allies and Vice Versa, they also knew that the idea of its allies buying these will create a huge buzz. So for the time being, all had to be kept secret until right time comes.
----------------------------------------
Divine Realm.
The Goddesses of Anmius just finished constructing a dedicated Network of Defense for Planet Anmius. Even though the Lolilandic Technology entered a new phase, they still have to do actual work. Afterall, they don't want the repeat of an Alien Invasion ever again.
Cinnamonia: A few upgrades here and there and the whole Anmius will be ready for the second Invasion. This time we will definitely crush them before they could even try touchdown.
The other Anmiusian Goddesses, and even Amalgesia of Alfkhaisha and Vesta of Vitallionia (Homeworld of Vitallion Empire) took part as well, knowing what horrors could do if they find the portal and pass through it. While the latter two isn't as powerful as with the rest, it didn't became a problem to them. All hands are needed for this Defense anyway, plus they will be mostly using same weapons as with the LPA-IDS.
Vesta: I won't let you Space Barbarian Filths to invade here. More so in passing through Portal and Attack my Home as well.
Amalgesia: I dunno what kind of ugly bastards you are. But you shall die trying to pass.
Both Mortal and Divine Realm, and now two otherworldly Goddesses, are building up power for what is to come in a far, far future.
To be continued.
