"It was late afternoon when the patrol began to cross the bridge leading to the mysterious city that had appeared earlier in the day.
As the team finished climbing the steps, they could see the sheer size of the edifice. "How is this possible? The floor is made of a single block of stone." One of them remarked.
Then, a soldier approached the arch to verify his suspicions and banged on it. All he heard was a metallic echo. "Sir, this bridge is made of iron."
"How can this bridge hold up even with an iron arch? It's far too heavy a material for such a thing."
The further they went, the bigger their questions became until they reached the end of the bridge and entered the world of the strange.
The patrol was amazed at the height of the building in front of them, but above all, the city was astonishingly empty.
"So tall." Thought Tercen, the leader of the fact-finding mission, as he gazed up at the immense building in front of them.
" Thought Tercen, the leader of the fact-finding mission, as he gazed up at the immense building in front of them [https://img.wattpad.com/5363b17a1ddde26aab19ce8111fad756e8b2cc86/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f4f4e2d6346387173525a4c2d79773d3d2d313338323338383732352e313738346265663763313934333539623937373737323432323336382e706e67?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
"What great luxury." Said one of the soldiers upon seeing the glass doors covering the building. "This must be the residence of a very important person to have such grand proportions."
His comment was interrupted by the sight of a resident speeding by in front of them, pulling a cart filled with various strange objects. He was already too far away to be pursued, but he appeared to be in a panicked state.
"Well, we're going to enter through this large arch, and our objective is to find the person who rules this place and question them about this land."
Tercen's group had just re-entered through the building's archway, and their amazement didn't wait long as they entered a vast, brightly lit room without the need for torches. "Is he using some sort of spell to produce such an abundance of light?" they wondered.
They had been exploring the immense, empty room for several minutes without finding anything of significant importance. "What could be the purpose of this room if it's only used for transportation?" Thought one of the soldiers as he examined a vehicle. Finally, after some searching, they discovered a door leading to another room.
Impressed by the quality and quantity of the glass, Tercen failed to notice someone approaching them until he heard a voice coming from his left. Immediately, the group turned to see a man dressed entirely in black.
"Gentlemen, I cannot allow you to enter the supermarket without wearing masks." Said the peculiar guard.
Tercen was a bit puzzled by the guard's statement.
"Guard, we don't have time for your peculiar customs. We need to speak with the manager of this land urgently to find a solution to the sudden appearance of your town and its surroundings."
The man chuckled in response.
"I've heard plenty of lame excuses for not wearing a mask, but going as far as dressing up like knights was a new one."
Tercen became irritated by the guard's provocation, and without realizing it, the rest of his team had drawn their swords.
"Please stop this, and allow us to speak with the person who governs this land." one of them declared.
Subsequently, the man quickly stepped back and pulled out what appeared to be a miniature magiccom. "This is Jakob; I've got several armed men at the entrance, and I need reinforcements, and fast."
The most astonishing thing was that he was able to hear an answer coming from this magiccom the magiccom always gives answers via telepathy how come this one is giving it orally he thought but before he had time to finish his thought 4 other men came towards them. At the sight of these people, Tercen's group prepared for a fight. "Wait!" Cried Tercen, but before he could try to calm the situation, his team suddenly collapsed under his gaze. "What the hell are you doing?" He in turn collapsed under great pain before seeing the men approach and tie their wrists.
Berlin 5.00 pm
Gabriel read the document provided earlier by the Minister of the Interior, which reported an armed altercation in a supermarket in the town of Weil-am-Rhein.
The document's noteworthy aspect was that the individuals involved were dressed as knights, seemingly having mistaken the supermarket for a palace.
Gabriel set the document aside and turned his attention to the Home Secretary. "What measures do you intend to take concerning these individuals?"He inquired.
"Given the highly unusual circumstances, the Minister of Health and I have decided to place them in quarantine at the nearest military base, ensuring they haven't contracted any pathogens before sending them back home."
The Chancellor contemplated the repercussions that the arrival of these individuals would bring.
Shortly afterward, the Chancellor dismissed the Minister and placed a call to the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Annoyance was evident in the Chancellor's tone as he remarked. "With the arrival of these people, we'll have to expedite the delegation's arrival significantly."
European Space Operations Centre ( ESOC )
After spending hours re-establishing contact with various satellites, and with only 11 satellites responding, the control center began receiving the first images of the new world. The initial image, captured by a weather satellite over Germany, silenced the last remaining skeptics definitively.

The scientists in the room were divided between fear and fascination in the face of this improbable reality. Once all doubts were dispelled, a voice emerged from behind the computer screens."May I have your attention, please." Said the Director General. "Now that we have undeniable proof that our country has been transported to an unknown world, I would like to inform you that the workload will increase significantly in the coming months. I kindly request that you maintain the utmost professionalism during our upcoming operations."
The director then went to his office to send a fax to Berlin.
First battle fleet of the kingdom of Farosse
Several hours had passed since the royal fleet encountered a vast expanse of land that had suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking access to the Pluvia Sea.
A sigh escaped from Admiral Oberon's lips as he gazed at the new land stretching across the horizon."What's the situation on the mainland?" He asked the mage at the magiccom."A powerful earthquake struck the entire coastal region, causing significant damage. We've been requested to dock and provide assistance to the victims." Replied the mage.
Before he could finish speaking, a distant rumbling sound began to grow, initially faint but progressively louder with time."Approaching airborne creature!" Shouted a sailor from the lookout.
The mysterious creature passed by the fleet at close range, hovered briefly, and then started to move away, causing a visible sense of fear among many sailors.
"Send a squadron of wyverns from the dragon carrier!" Ordered Admiral Oberon.
Upon receiving the command, the fleet swiftly shifted into combat formation.
Onboard the dragon carriers, wyvern riders prepared for takeoff to intercept the newly emerged threat. It was at this moment that the first wyverns launched from the runway, soon to be followed by the others.
From atop his wyvern, Sonnald could see the majestic dragon carrier below, from which he had just taken off. "I'll never tire of this view," he said as he watched his comrades' boat lift off.
It was at this point that when he looked at where the mysterious creature had gone he could see two large silhouettes that didn't seem to be islands, as soon as he realised what he was looking at he hurried to get out his magiecom [https://img.wattpad.com/2b1f80c5bd12a26a98938164b800e8157ed82309/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f42474e795371636d5078694c58773d3d2d313338323338383732352e3137383564336337343439646337663036343730353738343539332e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
It was at this point that when he looked at where the mysterious creature had gone he could see two large silhouettes that didn't seem to be islands, as soon as he realised what he was looking at he hurried to get out his magiccom.
"This is Wyverns 3 of the Dragon Carrier Cia, I've spotted two silhouettes on the horizon in the direction of where the creature left, they could be demon ships and they seem to be heading our way."
Everyone on board was now under pressure due to the observation made by several dragon riders despite the agitation Admiral Obeorn seemed to be the calmest of all.

"They don't look like demon ships." He said to himself as he scanned the two huge ships getting closer and closer.
Suddenly the creature returned, this time with a very human voice.
~This is the German Navy, your fleet is entering our territorial waters, whoever you are, stop right there.~
"What should we do sir?" Asked a mage to the magiccom the admiral was pensive.
"German navy I don't know this name, would it be the divine men? It explains the particular architecture of these ships, but it speaks of territorial waters."
"If we stop who knows what they'll do to us but if we continue it's obvious they'll destroy us." "Tell the whole fleet to stop and keep the wyverns in the sky, they'll only attack if I give the order."
Later two small craft were spotted coming from these ships the most impressive was their fast speed despite their size. "They have better equipment than the elves."
The admiral thought to himself at the sight of such speed.
The passengers in the first boat had finally arrived and the people disembarking were soldiers dressed all in blue with magic projectile weapons in their hands.
All the soldiers on board were ready for battle and the situation continued to escalate until Admiral Obeorn arrived.
"Soldiers, lower your weapons, that's an order."As soon as the order was given all the sailors on board lowered their weapons.
"Welcome aboard I am Obeorn Van Ludius the admiral of this fleet." The only thing he got was silence before one of the lead soldiers took a small box to his chest.
"Recon mission to dinghy 2 secure area you may come."
It wasn't long before the lifeboat that had been kept out of the way moved forward, letting its occupants on board. The woman who got out began talking to one of the soldiers who had arrived earlier, who seemed to be explaining the situation to her.
"Hello, I'm Caroline Kracht, a crew member of the FGS Erfurt. I've been sent to determine if you pose a threat. If any of your soldiers attempt anything, their day will be cut short."
Obeorn had the feeling of a knife at his throat."Very well, I'll ensure everything goes smoothly."
On the deck of the Erfurt, Hubert had already been observing for a while the strange boat that had launched these creatures that looked like dragons, which had at the same time destroyed the last of the crew's sceptics. "Worthy of a fantasy universe." He said to himself.
"They've been on board for a while now, what's the latest?"
"Yes sir." Replied a sailor."
They've secured boarding without firing a shot and they're in the process of questioning the admiral of this fleet."
"Very well, as soon as they've finished, tell them to give me a detailed report."
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
royal convoy
After witnessing the disastrous summoning attempt, King Vermon II was drained of the day's excitement when a messenger arrived at his carriage."Messire, we have news from the magiccom."
"What are they?"
"It's the first battle fleet they've come into contact with two very similar ships a demon ship."
"Similar in what way?" Interrupted the king.
"To tell the truth we didn't get much information about them apart from the fact that they moved without sails and were quite large.
Fortunately, it's humans on board who claim to come from the land that appeared today. They identify their nation as Germany."
"I see. What about the expedition to one of their cities? It seems they entered a rather rich palace?"
"To tell the truth sir, it's already been a few hours since we've had any news from them and we're afraid they've done something because when a second mission arrived to find out more about their fate they saw guards blocking the bridge and it seems to be the same all along the new border."
The king had become strangely calm after these words. "I hope this will not have made an enemy of Germany."
"Inform General Pirus to forbid access to the new territories until we know more about their intentions."
European Southern Observatory ESO 8.00 pm
Night had fallen since the halo had disappeared and unprecedented phenomena could be seen all over Germany. It was at this moment that astronomers in the Southern Observatory looked at messages received from other observatories.
"It's magnificent." Said one astronomer, looking at one of the photos received.
"What a magnificent sight," he thought, almost forgetting the other messages that kept coming in [https://img.wattpad.com/4e7383e382a0f2810d0a59e6fcbc587ae2f724f7/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f584142786f4e7773577a74776c413d3d2d313338323338383732352e313738356639623233653732383339363433303234313832363636362e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
"What a magnificent sight," he thought, almost forgetting the other messages that kept coming in.
"We're not even in the Milky Way any more." Exclaimed one of them.
Franco-German military base in Müllheim 8.00 am
"The day had started so well." Tercen muttered inside his cell, through his window, which he hadn't left since his arrival, he could see a series of vehicles passing by resembling the demon transporter.
The fact that most disturbed him was that it was humans who were at the controls.
"It's impressive." He said to his companions, suddenly cut off by a strange noise becoming more and more predominant in the room.
They all rushed to the bars of the window to see the source of the noise.
To everyone's astonishment, it was a huge white machine that landed like a dragon.
"The demons!" Some of the soldiers said in panic, but for the few people who could see a demon machine, they could tell the difference.
The mere sight of this beast terrified some, while others were in awe to see such a beast piloted by humans thereafter 3 people dressed in black then emerged, accompanied by others wearing equally strange clothes [https://img.wattpad.com/217cb04daaa7913159ba88aae8954b02e13e416b/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f4f6e7635744275365f75703832413d3d2d313338323338383732352e313738356663643632333632623164333330323138313033383637342e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
The mere sight of this beast terrified some, while others were in awe to see such a beast piloted by humans thereafter 3 people dressed in black then emerged, accompanied by others wearing equally strange clothes.
It wasn't long before the cell guards took Tercen away and he was led into a room where there was just a table and two chairs. Very quickly, one of the people dressed in black entered the room accompanied by two guards.
Good day to you Mr Tercen, I'm Roman Schatz, the diplomat who will be in charge of the meeting with your nation, but before we get to that our leader has asked me to come and meet you to complete the little information we've got so far. At these words, Tercen regained his colour.
"Your leader needs to know that this is all a misunderstanding about the attack on the guard of this castle."
"Don't worry about that Sir, it was a market, we've already considered that it was a mistake due to the difference between our two countries."
"A market." He replied in a calmer tone. "So our lives are not threatened?"
"It was never intended to do you any harm."
"Now that the misunderstanding seems to have been resolved I would like to know if you are now prepared to answer my questions?"
Tercen found himself torn by his thoughts.
"Should I tell them the information they want at the risk of being tried for treason if they attack.
But if I help them with their advanced magical technology they might be able to help the country in this war."
After a heavy moment of silence Tercen had made his decision. "I'll give you information but if I think it compromises the integrity of my country I'll stop everything."
There's no problem. " Roman replied." Well then, let's get started. First of all, as part of our diplomatic delegation, we need to know where your capital is." Then Roman took out a photo from his briefcase.
Tercen was more than astonished when he picked up the map, the most astonishing thing being that the Fartos Sea had given way to vast dry land that closed off the Pluvia Sea.
"But how did you get a map of the region in just one day, with so much detail?" He asked.
"Ah well, it's not a map, it's just a photo in itself, it's a moment of reality frozen and put on a support, it was taken yesterday by..." At this point Roman hesitated to mention the satellites, and then he remembered the conversation he'd had with the President about revealing technology to the people of this planet.
"They were taken yesterday by satellite."
"Satellite." Replied Tercen quizzically."It's a device high up in the sky that orbits of the Ear... of a planet."Tercen preferred to remain silent rather than say he didn't really understand.
Tercen then observed the image and pointed to an area at the mouth of what is a small sea bordered by a series of islands. "It's right here on the edge of the coast."The interrogation lasted another hour and a half without a hitch. "Very well, I'm done with my questions, so I'll leave you to it." It was when he reached the door that Tercen called out to him.
"Are we going home with you in the flying machine?"
Roman turned back to come level with Tercen. "Forgive me for forgetting to mention this important detail, but our country is afflicted by a scourge that has already taken more than 100,000 innocent lives, and to reduce its spread we use blue masks placed over the mouth."
Suddenly Tercen remembered the guard's insistence on having one. "What's going to happen?"
"To make sure you haven't contracted it we prefer to keep you under medical observation for ten days or so. It's always better than bringing this back to your country and making a real massacre."
"So it's for the good of our country." Thought Tercen. "In that case, can we use a magiccom to signal to our country the situation that means we won't be returning immediately."
"What is a magiccom?"What kind of question is that? It's a magical communication device, I've even noticed that you have a smaller, more advanced model."
"I'm rather surprised." Roman replied. "But our country doesn't have a magical communication device, in fact we don't have any magic either."
"But that doesn't make any sense, how could you get all those machines to work, even demons use magic for that." Tercen replied.
"We use scientific knowledge based on the principles of physics and the properties of matter, but since you can contact your country I don't see any problem with you getting in touch with them."
A few minutes had passed and all the other members of the patrol had been assembled outside their cells when Tercen entered the room accompanied by some of the people of the white machine.
"Perla." Exclaimed Tercen immediately the mage responded. "I've been able to negotiate with the emissaries of this nation, unfortunately we can't go home at the moment but they've given us permission to contact the country so we're going to need your powers to make the magiccom work." Tercen explained.
"Yes, boss." She exclaimed and immediately approached the magiccom which had been placed on the table, then placed her hands on the small crystal ball which began to glow with a bluish sheen. "Communication established." She said, then Tercen took the funnel which was attached to the radio before starting to speak into it under Tercen's guidance, each in turn passing a message.
Throughout the demonstration, the small German committee made up of diplomats and a few historians stared in amazement at the demonstration of what until yesterday was still fantasy. "Was everything filmed?" Asked one of the diplomats. "Yes, it's all there." Replied the soldier holding the camera.
"Very well, we'll add that to the report." Roman replied.
royal convoy
The troops had been on their way back to the capital for an hour when a messenger arrived urgently at the royal carriage."Messire the reconnaissance mission has resumed contact they have given us a report on their situation."
"That's excellent news and what are they saying?" The king asked."They have made contact with a diplomatic mission on its way to our country."
"But that's excellent have they announced an arrival date?"
"Well they're not sure but they tell us they could be here in just a few hours using a white flying machine."The king and the councillors looked at each other in astonishment. "But they have also sent us a coded message warnings." Continued the messenger.
"Very well then, what does it mean?" Asked the king."Please be careful, their military strength can match that of the demons, do not make them your enemy." Underneath his words one of the generals could be heard choking on his tea.
"What does the second warning mean?" They all asked.It warns us of a scourge close to a punishment from the goddess Drina that is killing thousands of people in their country and forcing the inhabitants to protect themselves with a mask, this plague is powerful enough to wipe half the population of the Difosse Islands off the map."
"It could be a real problem if this scourge spreads to our lands." The king said to himself.
"When the expedition group returns they will be decorated for crucial information given to the nation."
"They have also told us that due to this scourge they are blocked for about ten passages (days) in their country while they examine the possibility that they have caught this scourge."
"Let it be so, risk catching this scourge of the team."
Thereafter the king caused the convoy to speed up.
Arcus capital of the kingdom of Farosse
Anxiety had been running high in the capital ever since the king announced the arrival of a diplomatic mission from the new lands.
It was after a good two hours that a faint sound could be heard echoing through the valleys before becoming louder and louder.
~Here are the contact wyvern troops, we have a visual of a device resembling the description.~
~Good news, you can send them to base, we'll contact them.~
Time passed but despite all attempts from the wyvern base no response could be given from the device.
a few minutes earlier
The NH90 caiman was approaching the potential position of the royal capital of Farosse when, after crossing a small mountain, a pilot put an end to the moment of doubt that had been reigning on board for a few minutes: "We have visual on a rather important city bordering the coastline."
"Land nearby and we'll ask some of the locals if this is the capital Arcus."Then one of the pilots pointed at the radar with a surprised look on his face. "There's a formation of 5 flying objects closing in on us."
The diplomats in their corner debated the improbable formation.
"How can this be possible they're not even in the industrial age yet and our country has no plans to fly other craft in the vicinity." Then one of the historians spoke up. "Gentlemen, it's possible that this is simply a hot-air balloon, it's possible that it's commonly used in this world."
"It could be one of those flying creatures observed by the navy."
Came out one of the diplomats.Roman then spoke up. "Actually, there is a possibility that it could be a foreign aircraft."
"How?" To exit in unison."When I questioned se Tercen, he spoke of the fact that a certain country used magic to make machines fly." The debate quickly ended when the pilots announced they had visual contact with the formation.
Now then on, all those who looked through the portholes could hear only one word. "What the hell."On board they were all stunned to see soldiers on the back of what looked like a dragon, then the dragons positioned themselves around the helicopter while the one in front made various signs. "He seems to want us to follow them." Interpret the pilot.
later
"Look at that," said the co-pilot, "they've got runways for these dragons."Below could be seen a dirt runway where a few dragons took off, bordered by a series of stone buildings with a fairly large crowd seemingly waiting for something, then the wyverns escorting them began a descent in the direction of this air base."Get ready, we're landing.
Arcus Air Base
"There they are!" Shouted one of the observers."Have the whole runway cleared for their landing." Falan, the base general, exclaimed. Outside the building preparations were being made for the reception and transport of the German emissaries.
"Sir, the German aircraft suddenly stopped in mid-air and began to descend slowly and vertically."Falan went out to verify the observer's words. "Interesting, this device doesn't landing like the demon's ones but more like a dragon."
Under the watchful eye of the crowd, the helicopter landed not far from the welcoming committee to much racket, followed by the doors of the aircraft opening and letting out two men dressed entirely in green with helmets on their heads.
Following a gesture on their part, six other people got out of the aircraft, three of them wearing black clothes and walked in the direction of the committee before stopping a few steps away from the general who had stepped forward.
"Welcome to the kingdom of Farosse, send by Germany, I am General Falan C Ruhlan who has been charged with welcoming you and taking you to the Palais-Royal where the Queen awaits you."
"Pleased to meet you, I'm Roman Schatz and I'm in charge, along with my colleagues, of diplomacy between our two countries."
The crowd applauded after the handshake.
Surroundings of Maros
In the stillness of the region the usual sound of nature was cut off by a mechanical noise in the distance approaching the ruins of the now empty cathedral.
"So what these humans are saying is true?" Asked a demon emerging from the bell tower."Quite so, it would seem that the summoning brought forth something larger than what we had to kill."
"What was that?"
"There was a city, no I'd say more like a country and given their infrastructure they could pose a real threat to our nation."
The two demons then left for their exfiltration ship to leave a report that would change the course of this war.
