Embassy of the People's Republic of China, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.
The provisional president of Argentina was personally at the Chinese embassy waiting to meet with Ambassador Zou Xiaoli, he knew that the different embassies had also panicked just like the whole country. Many, like the US embassy, had begun to burn several documents about possible interventions in the South American country for fear that if they were discovered their lives could be in danger because their countries were no longer there to defend them.
Once the Chinese ambassador came through the door, the two shook hands and began to talk. Thanks to the translation spell neither had to worry about trying to speak the other's language.
"We are honored that our embassy is the first to be visited in these times of crisis." Said the ambassador displaying the ways of oriental manners.
"It's true, since the official proclamation that we are in a new world everyone is going crazy, I don't blame them as finding out that they won't be able to return to their homes must be very hard." Cristóbal understood those concerns about all the tourists and diplomats who were trapped .
"So, Mr. President, what do you need from us? I must admit that I find it somewhat strange that the first to be visited are us and not the Americans."
"I will be blunt, I seek the integration of the Far Space Station and the Chinese National Space Administration technicians with CONAE."
In February 2017, a Chinese satellite launch, tracking and control base had been completed in Neuquen under the guise of exploring the Moon.
"I understand Mr. President, you seek to use our advances to facilitate the exploration of this world through a satellite."
"Exactly Mr. Ambassador, at this time with the crisis we will not be able to create our own satellites so we want to use the one you are building."
Ambassador Zou Xiaoli begins to think about this, the truth was not a bad proposal since that way at least the Chinese technicians would be guaranteed a job in CONAE. However, there was something that still bothered him.
"I can accept on the condition that the state will finance Chinese cultural activities for the Chinese."
This had surprised Cristóbal a little but he could understand the reason, thanks to the translation spell the Chinese language had become pointless, it made no sense for anyone to try to learn Chinese because everyone could understand each other, while you still needed to learn the language to read and write Chinese speaking it would be useless. The fear that the ambassador had was that, with time, the more than 200,000 Chinese living in the country would forget their roots and the culture would disappear completely.
"I understand perfectly, I will send a bill on cultural protection and then we will integrate it into the constitution."
"Perfect, we estimate that the new satellite will be ready by next year."
Both shake hands and then the president of Argentina retires to the Casa Rosada.
Already at Casa Rosada, the president went to his office to review any news related to the new world.
"This is it... the report of the diplomat Avellaneda."
It was said starting to read the transcript of the discussion between the Argentine Diplomat Raúl Avellaneda and the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Louria, Maus:
----------------------------------------
Jin-Hark palace.
In a luxurious room, adorned by the finest curtains and carpet of the continent Filiades, both were about to have a conversation that would define the fate of the continent Rodenius.
"What brings a country like Argentina to our lands?"Maus kept calm and calm, however he was intimidated by the ARA Sarandi in the port.
"The Argentine Republic seeks economic cooperation with the Rodenius continent."
Saying that, the diplomat had already made it clear that they planned to do business with Quila and Qua-Toyne, the prime minister looked disappointed.
"What is the Argentine policy regarding non-humans?"
"Do you mean those who are known as demi-humans? The country still does not have a policy regarding them, it was very recently that Argentina has made the first contact with them, a very pleasant first contact if I must say, at least in the kingdom of Quila."
"First contact? He means that there are no sub-humans in Argentina." Maus seemed a curious thing to that sentence.
"There are no demi-humans in Argentina, if I should answer your question from the point of view of our society I would say that we are curious about them."
Maus was beginning to think that maybe maybe he could convince the diplomat of his point of view.
"The vast majority of the powers are ruled by our race: the human, your impressive ship was built by Humans, humans are the dominant race of this world. We are superior to those sub-humans in every way."
Hearing that, the diplomat wanted to order the ARA Sarandi to bomb the port immediately, but he was there to avoid a war, so he had to find a middle ground to keep the peace, even if he should say some things that if any normal person listened to him then he would definitely lose his job.
"I understand that you think humans are the superior species, however I cannot understand the genocide part, especially having alternatives such as enslaving them and forcing them to do forced labor."
The prime minister smiles believing that he was beginning to convince him.
"What would be the point of letting those scumbags live? The only thing we would achieve would be rebellions after rebellions that would put human lives at risk!"
Raul Avellaneda was trying to find the words to answer without starting a diplomatic conflict, luckily he had done his research and soon found something to refute.
"But there's something I don't understand. The first superpower, the so-called Holy Mirishial Empire, has been ruled for centuries by an elf, don't they think there can be an intervention against Louria by them?"
Maus starts laughing nonchalantly and then responds.
"Don't worry about that, the Mirishial Holy Empire is far away from us, we also have the patronage of Parpaldia, besides it would be a long time before the Mirishial consider us a threat."
"That's true right now, but have you ever wondered if this ideology is beginning to spread to civilized regions? It is not uncommon to think that this will happen if they have a victory and unify the continent, if that is the case I see it very plausible that the leader of the main world power sees them as a threat, not a military one but an ideological one."
Hearing that, Prime Minister Maus looked more worried.
"But we have the support of Parlpadia! They have invested too much in us to allow another power to occupy the continent!"
"Is that true, however do you really think that Parlpaldia would challenge Mirishial for you? What I see more likely is that when they see that Mirishial decides to go to war they will come forward and invade you. Thus they secure their investment, the territory and improve their relations with the emperor of Mirishial."The Argentine diplomat knew that Parlpadia was infamous among uncivilized countries because its barbarities and betrayals reached Rudeus, atrocities that made Prime Minister Maus could perfectly imagine such a scenario.
"By the gods..." Maus exclaimed when visualizing what the Argentine minister had said. "This is something those damn Parlpadians would do."
"I imagined it, the Argentine Republic does not seek to change its vision towards demi-humans, we simply want to do business and make sure that trade is not interrupted by war" Raul felt more confident, believing that he would be able to ensure peace.
"But... our kingdom has received huge amounts borrowed from Parlpadians, without the money we plunder from Qua-Toyne there will be no way to pay the huge debt!" He said already losing his composure, that would mean giving the Arpadians an excuse for a war.
"Besides, the king is determined to unify the continent and massacre the sub-humans! And if for some reason I could convince him to avoid a war, what do you think we're going to do with this huge army? We cannot dissolve it, Many Generals are eager for war and would not accept peace."
These were serious problems and Raul was thinking about how to solve this.
"I have a plan in mind, but for that it will require your cooperation."
Maus was surprised "Do you have a plan to avoid war?"
"No, I have a plan to make it as short as possible."
The prime minister swallowed, this was the only way to save Louria from a dark future of being dominated by Parlpadia or a civil war.
----------------------------------------
Casa Rosada.
When reading the report and the details of the plan, a smile is drawn on Cristobal's face.
"With this the Argentine influence will have expanded throughout a continent."
He immediately sent to immediately call his general staff, the Chief of the general Staff of the Argentine Army Agustín Humberto Cejas, the chief of the Navy Julio Horacio Guardia and the Chief of the General Staff of the Air Force Xavier Isaac to help the president draw up a plan.
"Our priority is to avoid a maritime blockade against Quila and its oil sources, it will be simple since those ships are from the sixteenth century. Two destroyers and three corvettes will cope with this. I propose that those two destroyers be the ARA Almirante Brown and the ARA Heroina, both with the ability to carry helicopters," Horacio Guardia proposed.

"I am not opposed to interfering militarily, after all thanks to the research on magic given by the ministry of defense we know that they do not represent a real threat to us, or at least on this continent since apparently there are much more powerful countries that have developed machines with that magic." Commented the head of the Army. "But what are we going to do with public opinion? I don't think it feels good to the population that just three months after we arrived we entered into a war for oil."
"We will not tell them, for the absence of the fleet we will say that it is due to the appearance of sea creatures, and that of the army to increase our presence in Antarctica"
"According to Qua-Toyne, the armies of Louria are concentrating on the border near Gim, thanks to that concentration of forces our little artillery and aviation will be able to cause significant damage." Xavier said.
"We should not be the ones to strike the first blow, we can allow the forces defending Gim to be defeated in the field before destroying the army of Louria, that way they will be more grateful to save them at the last moment and the impression of seeing a modern army in action will make them think twice about increasing tensions against our workers again."
----------------------------------------
Central Calendar Year 1639, April 11, morning, Royal Capital Jin Hark, Mark Castle
"Your Majesty, we wanted to inform you regarding the invasion plan to Qua-TOyne" Said an elderly man who was the King's Personal Advisor.
Next to him was General Patajin
"It's alright you may continue" Said the king as he entered the hot springs surrounded by half naked human women.
"First we will conquer the city of Gim with the objective of securing supplies, for this the army has already mobilized and is currently on the border awaiting orders, Qua-Toyne has sent multiple times requests for us to withdraw but we have ignored them" Said the general.
"The country known as Argentina is notably more advanced than us, however they are far removed from the continent so it would be strange for them to intervene, also according to the prime minister the Argentines seemed to have no intention of intervening and seemed open to our ideas of human supremacy. We think they were just testing the waters to see who to do business with, the chances of them sending another delegation to open trade after the war is high."
"Excellent work both of you!" Said the king as he stood up to have his body washed by the women.
"Now our plans to reunify the continent are one step closer."
"At last I can exterminate those disgusting demihumans and make way for human supremacy, after so many years I will finish what you started father" Thought the king internally with a sadistic smile.
"Your Majesty, I have brought a package from Prime Minister Maus." Said a servant girl bringing a package that looked somewhat heavy. "He said it was a gift from the Argentines of good will."
"Wow! I must admit I had been a little worried about the Argentines after I heard about their doing business with Qua-Toyne. But it looks like we've actually made a powerful ally! Together we could take on Parlpadia and go after Filiades! Prime Minister Maus has earned a very nice reward for pulling this off!"
Everyone was happy about the minister's good work as the king took the package to open it. As soon as the prime minister opened the package a reaping light flooded the baths, soon a great heat consumed the King of Louria, the king's personal advisor, General Patajin and the women around the king. A loud explosion blew up the hot springs, killing the Lourian high command.
----------------------------------------
"You lied to me! You told me that what was in the package would help the king see that Parlpadia was taking advantage of us! MURDERERS!" The prime minister was furious using the radio the Argentine diplomat had left him so he could communicate.
"I didn't lie to you, I said the gift would seem boombastic to him!"
"It's over! I'm not going to continue with your plans! The Argentines will be declared persona non grata! I will have the army brought in to prepare an invasion against you! I don't care if Loura is destroyed if I can kill you!"
"Not so fast, if you tell the army that the King is dead they will no doubt start investigating and know that you sent the bomb to the King. What do you think they will do when they find out you are involved?"
Although Maus could not see the diplomat, it was obvious that he was smiling sadistically.
"You fucking piece of shit! Why did you do this?! Was it all to save those fucking sub-humans?!Damn, someday you'll pay me motherfuckers!"
"Let's see if you keep that attitude after two days, remember, no sending the news to the front or they will hang you for treason and conspiracy. Once the generals and admirals are dead and the offensive is repulsed, you must open peace negotiations."
And with that the Argentine plan was underway.
----------------------------------------
Principality of Kua Toine, Western Region, 20km from the border Qua-Toyne and Louria, Village of Gim
Central Calendar Year 1639, April 11, in the afternoon
Western Order of Knights, 1st and 2nd wyvern squadrons
The captain of the order of the West, Moiji, felt uncomfortable as he looked at the sky in search of wyverns from Louria.
The Western forces consisted of 2,500 infantry, 200 archers, 500 heavy infantry, 200 cavalry, 100 light cavalry, 24 wyverns and 30 wizards.
Of course, these numbers were not enough to face the more than 30,000 soldiers of the army of subjugation that they had seen along the border.
Qua-Toyne had a lot of combat-ready troops as they were in a state of semi-emergency, but even so they were not enough. In addition, all his communications continued to be ignored by Louria.
Some citizens had already started evacuating Gim by government order. But there were still a lot of people left in the city.
"There's nothing from Louria yet, eh?"Moiji asked one of the communication wizards that they had tried to establish contact with Rowlia's forces.
"Our messages should reach them well, but they have not responded yet. I can only conclude that they are ignoring our messages"
"With a small difference in numbers, a solid strategy could be used to avoid a fight but in these conditions... It was going to be a massacre, what should I do," Moiji wondered over and over again.
"What did HQ say about our request for reinforcements?"
"We have tried to communicate several times with HQ, but they always say the same thing - we are in an emergency conference. I don't think they'll tell us anything else."
"Damn it! We're not at a picnic! If we have to fight, with the soldiers we have here we will not last a second and now on top of that without the hope of reinforcements"
"Sir, we have a message from Argentina, it says that if we need air and artillery support, do not hesitate to request it."
"Argentina, huh? I'm not sure how much support they can give us with just a secluded airbase, but if everything I heard about them is true then they could be our lifeline.
With several thoughts turning his mind, Captain Moiji left the tent. Time passed clouded by uncertainty.
----------------------------------------
Central Calendar Year, 1639, April 12, early morning
20km from the border Qua-Toyne and Louria, Village of Gim
Suddenly, red smoke began to rise on the horizon. At the same time, screams began to be heard.
"It is the cry of the Army of Louria, Captain Moiji, what do we do?"
"The soldiers are very nervous, although it is normal, this is a battle that no one wants to fight" Moiji thought nervously.
"LOURIA'S ARMY HAS JUST CROSSED THE BORDER!"Shout one of the lookouts in a tower.
"A LOT OF WYVERNS ARE FLYING TOWARDS US!"yell another of the lookouts.
Almost instantly a communication arrived from a reconnaissance team at the border.
"A lot of Wyverns have just crossed the border, there are thousands of screeds! GIM IS LOST, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES...!"
Out of nowhere, communication was cut off. Immediately Captain Moiji looked at the red flares and remembered that it meant that Rowlia was invading Kua Toine. Immediately Moiji started shouting orders.
"1st and 2nd wyvern squadrons take off immediately! Light cavalry move to the right flank and attack from there! Riders prepare to take off, be waiting for orders! Infantry form ranks with the heavy ones in front! Archers take position in the rear and provide all possible support! And if you don't join the offensive, keep the wind in our favor! Contact Argentina immediately! Tell them we're under attack!"
The wyvern squadrons took off 24 to be specific, all with the aim of defending Gim. They were divided into 2 squadrons one stayed close to the ground while the other flew high.
Soon, the whole sky was filled with black dots, after seeing the large amount of Rowlia's wyvern the riders of Kua Toine felt their hearts freeze.
"Impossible, they have an absurd number of wyverns, they completely outnumber all the wyvern squads in our country. Has the enemy commander lost his mind?"Said scared Moiji.
"Sir! Argentina has responded! Reinforcements will arrive in half an hour!
Kua Toine's squadron of wyverns bravely flew towards the enemy, but without realizing it Rowlia's wyverns had them in their sights.
"We will take advantage of our numerical superiority, prepare to fire"
Captain Dragon Rider Aldebaran wanted to finish them off with a single blow. Immediately all the wyverns of Rowlia lined up and opened their mouths, inside them the fireballs took shape.
"5... 4... 3... 2... 1... ¡Fire!"
All the wyverns simultaneously launched the fireballs. By adding rotation to the fireballs, shooting from the inside of the mouth would greatly increase the range of range compared to when shooting outside the mouth. Using this trick they were able to shoot the wyverns of Kua Toine before they reacted.
"They have divided their forces in two. Stay tuned"
Shortly after Captain Aldebaran said that, 12 wyverns came out behind his back. They attacked while passing, knocking down 3 wyverns from Louria. The group of 12 wyverns got among the wyverns of Louria, but because Rowlia outnumbered them 5 to one they quickly fell.
It was just a massacre, the 24 wyverns defending Gim did not last even 5 minutes in front of Rowlia's wyverns.
"Well, now that we eliminate your wyverns we will support our troops on the ground. All units fire in support."
The wyverns descended on the troops of Kua Toine.
"Damn it! They have stronger and more skilled wyverns than ours!"I scream Moiji hitting the wall.
"All our wyverns are dead. There is nothing to defend ourselves with."
The enemy wyverns focused on attacking Qua-Toyne's ground troops, raining fire on them. The losses were devastating. There was only one way to attack wyverns and that was to use wind magic to facilitate longbow attacks.
Unfortunately, magic power was very difficult to accumulate, so there wasn't much available. They could only manage ten shots, and they couldn't help guide those shots. A longbow shot into the sky. Unfortunately, in this world, anti-aircraft attacks basically never hit and were largely for appearances.
The order of knights of Qua-Toyne suffered overwhelming losses due to the multitude of wyverns attacking them. Only 1/3 of the order remained. When everything seemed like it couldn't get any worse, 25,000 infantrymen from Rowlia's subjugation army joined the battle. In 30 minutes the order was completely annihilated.
Everything seemed lost, nothing was stopping the city from falling anymore. But a deafening noise was gradually taking over the battlefield.
Everyone looked at the sky looking for the noise, in the distance they saw twelve gray dots that little by little became larger, suddenly a lot of light arrows began to cross the wyverns of Rowlia, some even flying in pieces.
"What the fuck are those things?!"
"The wyverns can't keep track of them!
"They are too fast!"
The wyvern riders of Rowlia could not hit those metal dragons, for their part the Argentine Pampa III unloaded their machine guns and automatic cannons against the flying reptiles as if it were a practice.
"They are... Argentina It's the Argentines!"
The few who still resisted watched as the planes razed their enemies to the ground.
Once there were no more wyverns in the sky, the Argentine fighters turned in the direction of the mass of Rowlia's soldiers, starting to fire their FFAR 70mm rockets at the dense formations, as well as that of their machine guns and cannons, soon the artillery cannons would also start firing. These 155mm CITER guns could have exploded from before but they had been ordered to prepare for a joint attack with the aircraft in order to do the maximum possible damage to the enemy.
Explosions that were combined with the loud deafening rumble of the planes as they passed over the enemies caused panic about the subjugation force, which began to flee in panic at the sight of the unrecognizable body of their general to be hit by an explosion.
Captain Mowli could only see the destruction wrought on the battlefield, as that seemingly invincible force was destroyed quickly and effortlessly.
"Is this... the power of Argentina?..."
So the war had begun and was already half over, now it would only be necessary to take care of the fleet so that the admiral would not give problems to the new ruler of Luria, Prime Minister Maus.
----------------------------------------
British Embassy, Argentina.
""Haven't you been able to contact them yet?"
The British Ambassador Mark Kent was quite nervous, he knew that doing what he was doing could cost him and his men their lives.
"I'm finishing coding the signal so that the Argentines don't hear us."
After a few moments a voice is heard from the other side of the radio.
"Hello? This is the Governor of the Falkland Islands Nigel Philips, who is speaking?"
Hearing that, The British Ambassador breathed a deep sigh of relief.
"I am the British Ambassador to Argentina, Mark Kent, it is a real relief to know that you are well."
There was a momentary silence on the other side of the radio.
"How do the Argentines treat you, Mr. Kent?"
"For the moment well, that is surely until it is made public that the islands were also transported. If that happens and we don't come out in favour of the Argentine insurance claims, a violent mob will gather at the embassy to beat us all up." The ambassador expresses his concerns.
"Please don't say you're going to abandon us. We need all the help we can get here."
"Don't worry, Ambassador. We don't plan to abandon our boys. We have MI6 members from our former spy network in the country and sympathizers from the FBI and CIA to help you. You are not alone, my friends, we are going to help you as much as we can."
