UTS Jerusalem, Shore of Darussalam City, 25 February 2141/ 25 Februarius 1841, 04:00 pm
Lieutenant Mary Bint Imran, radar operator and satellite communicator in UTS Jerusalem, checked her screen work. Suddenly, the radar and satellite detected many unknowns and unidentified armies 1400 km from Darussalam City. Suddenly, the armies split into three groups. The first group approached the first holy City in Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate, Bakkah. The second group approached the second holy City, Yatsrib. The last group directly approached Darussalam City, the Capital of Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate.
"Admiral Khalid, based on our radar and satellites, we detected unknown armies approaching two holy cities (Bakkah and Yastrib) and the Capital City (Darussalam City)of Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate. We estimated the total army to be one hundred thousand (100,000), including infantry and heavy cavalry. Look at this video from the satellites; they are emphasized by war elephants reinforced with metal armor, and the cannon resembles a 75 mm cannon in the World War II era. The cavalry used giant lizards and horses, and we assume the lizard was a giant basilisk. The attacker force for Yastrib and Darussalam City is also reinforced with giant birds and wyverns as air powers. Based on the type of animals that carried cannons, we assume this army is from Imperio Estelar or their ally to attack Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate." Lieutenant Mary reports to Admiral Khalid about an unknown army.
"I seek forgiveness from God. When did this army arrive at the holy City of Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate and Darussalam City? We must inform Sharif Hussein about this unknown army and immediate evacuation from Darussalam City." Admiral responds.
"Unfortunately, the first army was only 10 km from Bakkah and besieged that city. The range of the second army to Yastrib City is 300 km, and based on their speed at 20 km/h, they will arrive at 15 hours without rest or arrive at Yatsrib tomorrow noon or afternoon. For Darussalam City, the range is 1000 km, and they will arrive in 5 days without rest or at least in one week." Lieutenant Maryam's report.
"We must contact Sharif Hussein as soon as possible. Connect me to him through secret calls." Admiral Khalid orders Lieutenant Maryam.
"Yes, Admiral Khalid. Connecting to the Sharif Hussein communication through secret calls." Lieutenant Maryam responds.
House of Wisdom, Darussalam City, 25 February 2141/ 25 Februarius 1841, 04:10 pm
Caliph Umar guides Sharif Hussein and Pope John V to the House of Wisdom, the palace full of knowledge about magic and the history of the world. While Caliph Umar talks about the knowledge of magic and the history of the Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate, suddenly, the secret communication tells Sharif Hussein.
"May peace be upon you. Sharif Hussein, this is an emergency. An unknown army is approaching Darussalam City and Yastrib City while besieging Bakkah City. I suggest we conduct the evacuation process immediately." Admiral Khalid reported to Sharif Hussein.
"I seek forgiveness from God. When is the estimated time for the army to arrive at Yastrib and Darussalam City? How is the condition of Bakkah City?" Hussein asked about the time of arrival and the condition of Bakkah City.
"Based on the estimation from satellite, the army will arrive at Yastrib tomorrow noon or afternoon. In contrast, the army will arrive at Darussalam City in at least one week. There is time for us to conduct evacuation."
"How many troops are besieging Bakkah City and troops approaching Yastrib City and Darussalam City?" Hussein asked again about the size of the unknown army.
"We estimated the total force at one hundred thousand (100,000). However, they split into three forces. We estimated twenty thousand (20,000) to besiege Bakkah City, thirty thousand (30,000) to approach Yastrib, and fifty thousand (50,000) troops to attack Darussalam City. Based on the satellite, we detected that the enemy was bringing war elephants reinforced with metal armor and cannon, giant basilisks, giant birds, and wyverns." Admiral Khalid's response.
"I will inform Caliph Umar about this unknown army. Please stand by for conduct emergency action, Admiral." Hussein closed the secret call.
Hussein then informed Caliph Umar about the incoming army to Yastrib City and Darussalam City while besieging Bakkah City.
"Caliph Umar, based on our intelligence, an unknown army is approaching Yastrib City and Darussalam City while besieging Bakkah City. We estimated they will arrive at Yastrib City tomorrow noon or afternoon and Darussalam City in one week." Hussein reported an unknown army to Caliph Umar.
"Allah is most Merciful. How many of the troops attacked us, Sharif Hussein?" Caliph Umar was surprised that an unknown army had attacked his territory. Even his intelligence did not report about this sudden attack.
"We estimated one hundred thousand of the army, and they split into three forces: one force with twenty thousand besieging Bakkah City, thirty thousand approaching Yastrib City, and fifty thousand approaching Darussalam City. We assume that this army from Imperio Estelar or their ally will attack the Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate. The enemy reinforced war elephants with metal armor and cannon, giant basilisks, giant birds, and wyverns." Hussein reports about the size of the army and the possible army that attacked Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate.
"Allah is most Merciful. If the enemy brings war elephants, this unknown army is from the Hamyur Kingdom in the south. They are the vassal of Imperio Estellar through internal intrigue and civil war. The current King, Masruq Abraha, is a loyal vassal to Imperio Estelar. You said their elephant has a cannon, right? So, Imperio Estelar exports their magic cannon and weapons to the Hamyur Kingdom." Caliph Umar responded and told the possibility of Hamyur Kingdom that the vassal of Imperio Estelar attacked them.
"We could intercept and fight the enemy approaching Darussalam City, but we can not send the army to help the forces in Yastrib City and Bakkah City. We did not have much time to help that city, but Allah is most merciful. If the Yastrib City falls, they can take the Holy Body to the Holy Shrine in the Yastrib City. We can not lose the Holy Body, or Imperio Estelar will use it to reinforce their magic power. Sharif Hussein and Pope John, please send your troops to save Yastrib City. I know your flying vehicle resembles the People's Republic of Uroslav and the United States of Amarilon. Please, I begged you, please save my people in Yastrib." Caliph Umar begged and bowed to Sharif Hussein and Pope John V.
"I understand about the situation. However, I cannot send our aircraft to help you without approval from our leaders. Wait, I will contact Secretary-General Hugo through the emergency channel." Hussein then contacted Hugo through an emergency channel that was only used for emergencies and exceptional cases.
"Good day, Sharif Hussein. Why do you call me through the emergency channel? Its emergency and exceptional situation occurred in the Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate?" Hugo asked Hussein why he called him through the emergency channel.
"Secretary-General, please convert it to standard holographic calls. Caliph Umar al-Rashid will explain the condition." Hussein then let Caliph Umar explain the condition.
"Ya Ammirul Annas, please save my people in Yastrib. We can not lose the Holy Body and the people of Yastrib. If we lose the Holy body, Imperio Estelar will use it for evil plans and conquer the world. I begged you to save my people and the Holy Body." Caliph Umar knows Hugo is the world leader in the previous world, Earth. So, he called him Ammirul Annas, or Leader in Humankind.
"I see. I assume an unknown army invaded your territory called Yastrib, which contains the Holy Body, the Saint Body, with powerful magic. If this Holy Body falls to the Imperio Estelar, they will use it to reinforce their magic technology to conquer the world, right? Please call me Secretary General, not Ammirul Annas." Hugo asked Caliph Umar.
"Yes, Secretary General. Based on your national intelligence, they will arrive in Yastrib tomorrow and arrive in one week for Darussalam City." Caliph Umar explains. While Caliph Umar explained the condition, Hugo checked the satellite data and found three massive forces in the area of the Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate.
"I understand if you want us to save your city called Yastrib because the enemy will arrive tomorrow. However, there is one city besieged by the enemy. Why did you not request that we save this city first?" Hugo asked Caliph Umar again.
"Bakkah is our first Holy City, and it is the place of the Sacred House of God. God will protect that city. However, Yastrib became the Holy City because it contained the Holy Body. Our forces in that city are only five thousand and no match to the reinforced army from Hamyur Kingdom backed by Imperio Estelar. We did not have much time to reinforce that city." Caliph Umar explained the condition in Bakkah and Yastrib.
"So, Imperio Estelar became the mastermind in this attack. If you said it is true, we can not let them obtain the Holy Body, or a disastrous event with magic will happen." Hugo respond.
In minutes, Hugo falls into deep thought. If he helps Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate, they will antagonize Imperio Estelar. If he let the Yastrib City fall, Imperio Estellar would obtain the Holy Body and reinforce its magic power to conquer the world. They may detect the United Terran area and declare war on them.
Unknown and disastrous magic events are the worst possibility, more so than nuclear warfare, because currently, the United Terran does not have the technology to stop world-class magic. Also, they will lose their relationship with the Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate, and Imperio Estelar will annex them. There is only one option: with Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate, collaboration to improve the integration between science, technology, and magic, and fight against the Imperio Estelar. However, he thinks that if they use their carrier-based stealth fighters to destroy the enemy without being detected, they will cover the truth and let Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate take responsibility.
Finally, with the burden in his head and the worst possibility that the Holy Body falls to Imperio Estelar will impact and threaten the United Terran through world-class magic, Hugo approves the use of F-95C to air strike the army that attacks Yastrib and Darussalam City.
"Hussein, I have weighed the options, and considering the grave consequences of allowing the Holy Body to fall into Imperio Estelar's hands and threaten our nation through world-class magic, I authorize the use of our F-95C stealth fighters from UTS Jerusalem to conduct airstrikes on the enemy forces approaching Yastrib and Darussalam City. If the airstrikes are insufficient, I authorize using plasma hypersonic missiles from destroyers, cruisers, and submarines. If Admiral Khalid has more effective ways, I will authorize both of you to conduct this mission. The blood in my hand." Hugo declared with a heavy heart.
"Understood, Secretary General. I will relay your orders to Admiral Khalid immediately," Hussein replied solemnly, knowing the gravity of the situation.
UTS Jerusalem, Shore of Darussalam City, 25 February 2141/ 25 Februarius 1841, 04:30 pm
Hussein swiftly contacted Admiral Khalid through secure channels. "Admiral Khalid, this is Sharif Hussein. We have received approval from Secretary General Hugo to conduct airstrikes on the enemy forces approaching Yastrib and Darussalam City. Prepare our air force for immediate action."
Admiral Khalid acknowledged the order. "Roger that, Sharif Hussein. Our air force will be mobilized after preparation. We will strike swiftly and decisively to defend our ally cities and prevent the enemy from obtaining the Holy Body."
Hussein, understanding the urgency and the severity of the situation, relayed Secretary General Hugo's orders to Admiral Khalid with a heavy heart. "Admiral Khalid, Secretary General Hugo has issued strict orders. We are to utilize only stealth-equipped aircraft and mass destruction weapons to ensure no survivors. The goal is to prevent information leakage regarding the United Terran's capabilities to Imperio Estelar. Dead men tell no tales."
Admiral Khalid nodded solemnly, fully comprehending the gravity of the directive. "Understood, Sharif Hussein. We will strictly adhere to the Secretary General's orders. Our primary objective is to eliminate the enemy threat swiftly and decisively while maintaining the utmost secrecy." Admiral Khalid's response.
"Sharif Hussein, UTS Jerusalem carried some cluster bombs from previous conflicts in the Middle East as the trophy. How about we installed these cluster bombs to annihilate the enemy forces effectively?" Admiral Khalid asked permission to use cluster bombs.
"Cluster bombs? Why did UTS Jerusalem still preserve those brutal weapons in the previous conflict wars? Remember about the Geneva Convention and Convention on Cluster Munitions, Admiral Khalid." Hussein reminds Admiral Khalid about the Geneva Convention and Convention on Cluster Munitions and the atrocities of using cluster munitions.
"Sharif Hussein, Imperio Estelar, and Hamyur Kingdom that are not participants who ratified the Geneva Convention and Convention on Cluster Munitions. If we only used plasma missiles from airstrikes, we would need a lot of plasma missiles. However, if we use these outdated cluster bombs and add plasma missiles, I assure you that hundreds of thousands of enemies will be obliterated with no traces." Admiral Khalid said that with plasma missiles and cluster bombs, they will obliterate all enemies.
"Alright. I trust you, Admiral Khalid. May God forgive us. GodSpeed Admiral". Husein trusts Admiral Khalid's plan.
"Yes, sir. We will do our best." Admiral Khalid responses.
Then Admiral Khalid called his loyal Chief Combat Engineers to install the plasma to cluster bombs.
"Muhammad Abdul !!" Admiral Khalid called his Chief Combat Engineers.
"Yess, I.. am.." Captain Muhammad Abdul responds while showing his eccentric and unique style.
"How about you and your engineers put a mini plasma generator to that cluster bomb to increase the disastrous effect of cluster bombs? You only have ten hours. Could you and your teams do that?" Admiral Khalid asked Captain Abdul.
"Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. There is nothing I can not do in terms of combat engineering. That is why they call me the 'Magicians in Red' because I have 'magic' to do everything in combat engineering." Captain Abdul responds.
"So, could you reinforce these cluster bombs with plasma? We have sixty cluster bombs here, and you could use the advanced robotic automation to dissemble and add the mini plasma generator to cluster bombs." Admiral Khalid asked.
"Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. Do not underestimate me, Admiral. Give me those sixty cluster bombs and the advanced robotic automation, and I will finish it in 6 hours."
Captain Muhammad Abdul and his team started to dissemble cluster bombs and substitute their gunpowder-based cluster bombs with plasma-based cluster bombs to increase the effectiveness of the bombs. The submunitions that contain mini plasma generators will release plasma heat to the surroundings. These submunition plasma cluster bombs will be more effective against land armies with tremendous quantities than standard plasma missiles, which are designed to destroy and annihilate a single target.
"So we will launch the attack 6 to 7 hours from now, Admiral Khalid? Is it okay to delay the airstrike only to use these modified cluster bombs?" Hussein asked Admiral Khalid again.
"Caliph Umar only asked us to defend the Yastrib City, but we could also exterminate the troops approaching Darussalam as a preemptive strike before they arrived. We can not let massive armies threaten you and Your Holiness in Darussalam City. These modified plasma cluster bombs will be more cost-effective than standard plasma hypersonic missiles because we only modified outdated cluster bombs with mini plasma generators. Because the enemies are in the open desert without civilians around, so we did not have to use the smart guided bomb, and these plasma cluster bombs will obliterate armies in big formation." Admiral Khalid explained
"Are you sure these modified plasma cluster bombs will be enough to obliterate the enemies for more than eighty thousand?" Hussein asked again.
"I do not think these plasma cluster bombs will be enough, and we will order some F-95C to carry Air to Surface Missile (ASM) plasma hypersonic missiles entirely to support if plasma cluster bombs are not enough. Five squadrons of F-95C will be fully carried with hypersonic plasma Air to Air Missiles (AAM) against enemy giant birds and wyverns for air superiority. If airstrikes are insufficient, I will use plasma hypersonic missiles from Destroyers, Cruisers, and Submarines." Admiral Khalid's response.
"I see. I hope you can bring good news about this mission. This mission is our first clash with the natives of this world, and we preemptively strike them without declaring war. Remember Admiral Khalid, no survivor. Dead men tell no tales. It is better to be safe than sorry. May God give us strength and forgive us for conducting this annihilate mission. " Hussein prayed for the success of this mission.
"Yes, Sir. Indeed, God is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful." Admiral Khalid responds.
With the orders clear, Admiral Khalid immediately began implementing the necessary measures. He coordinated with UTS Jerusalem to ensure that only stealth-equipped aircraft and mass destruction weapons were prepared for deployment. Every precaution was taken to ensure the operation remained covert and the United Terran's capabilities were not compromised.
Captain Abdul and his teams prepared modified plasma cluster bombs with hasten but precisely to prevent malfunction during the operation. The engineers in UTS Jerusalem prepared the ASM and AAM plasma hypersonic missiles and installed them on the F-95C squadrons. They also load 30 mm rail cannon ammunition as a secondary weapon against enemy air power. They also charge the hybrid fuel cell of F-95C and inspect for malfunction of the aircraft system, especially the stealth system. Lieutenant Mary is monitoring the conditions and movement of enemy troops through satellites.
Five km from Bakkah City, Maincamp of Hamyur Army, 25 February 2141/ 25 Februarius 1841, 07:00 pm
Masruq Abraha, King of Hamyur Kingdom, vassal of Imperio Estelar sit on his commander chair. In front of him is the map of the Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate and the invasion route of his forces. He split his troops into three: one to besiege and destroy the House of God in Bakkah City as the first army, the second army to besiege and take the Holy Body through force, and the third army to threaten Darussalam City, the Capital City of the Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate.
His main target is to destroy the Sacred House of God in Bakkah City and replace it with a more high, comprehensive, and luxurious temple in his Capital City than the building in Bakkah City. He wants the pilgrimage site of the Hanif religion to change to his Capital City for economic reasons because he is not a Hanif believer. He wants to monopolize the economy through the pilgrimage of Hanif religions and merchants in the desert area.
Eventually, he did not have the power to invade Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate because Hamyur Kindom was smaller and weaker than the Caliphate. After they agreed to bow to Emperor Carlos V of Imperio Estelar and become the vassal state, Hamyur Kingdom gained support from advanced magic weapons such as magic muskets, cannons, and beasts. His elephant army was modified to mount magic cannons and armor to increase offensive and defensive capability. They also got support for air power, such as wyverns and giant firebirds, because the Hamyur Kingdom only relied on land armies.
He got a critical mission from Imperio Estelar: to obtain the Holy Body of the Son of God in Yastrib City. Initially, he hesitated because invading the Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate directly would cause devastation to his army. So, to help King Abraha, Emperor Carlos V sent his elite beast tamer and outdated magic muskets and cannons to obtain the Holy Body. Because King Abraha is confident and capable of capturing the Bakkah City only with his elephant and cavalry army, he sends the air force to help the forces capture Yastrib City and Darussalam City because they will take action against Dawlat al-Nur magic dragons.
After besieging Bakkah City, he sends an envoy to the leader of Bakkah City to surrender and let his army come to the city. Then, King Abraha sent Hanatah Al-Hamyuari to Bakkah City, ordering him to ask for the leader of the people and tell him, "I did not come to fight against you. I only came to destroy the Sacred House, the House of God. If you do not stand in our way, we will not harm any of you at all." King Abraha added to his messenger, "And if he shows his desire not to fight, bring him to me."
When Hanatah entered Bakkah City, he asked about its leader to the people of Bakkah. He was told that it was Shayba Ibn Hashim. He saw him and thus delivered the message.
"My King, Abraha, want you to surrender and let his army come to destroy the Sacred House of God. He did not come to fight against you." Hanatah tell Shayba about the message from Abraha
"By God! We do not intend to fight. We cannot afford it. This building is the Sacred House of God, and only He Alone can protect it if He wills to." Shayba replied.
"Come with me to meet with King Abraha. He ordered me to do so." Hanatah said.
Shayba ibn Hashim is the leader of Bakkah City and a wise man. He is generous to both humans and animals. His word becomes the representative of the Caliph's word in Bakkah City. He becomes the patron and leader to look after the House of God. When Shayba entered the main camp, King Abraha showed great respect and was highly impressed.
"What do you want to come here, Shayba?" King Abraha asked Shayba.
"Please let the Bakkah people evacuate before you launch your attack on the Sacred House of God. Please give us compensation for the destruction because your army will destroy our houses, roads, and city." Shayba begged King Abraha to let his people evacuate and compensate them for the destruction of his city.
"Why do you not beg me not to destroy your Sacred House of God?" King Abraha was surprised because he only begged for the safety of his people and compensation for the city if they succeeded in destroying it.
"I am the leader of the people and the city, whereas the Sacred House of God has its Lord to defend it." Shayba answer.
"No one can defend it from me. Even the Caliph can not save the Sacred House of God. Look at my elephant army, which is reinforced with magic armor and cannon, capable of destroying the mighty troops of Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate." King Abraha confidently said he could destroy the troops of the Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate.
"King Abraha, as the leader of Bakkah City, I will advise you before it is too late. Please stop this attack; I do not want you to be destroyed by God. Please return to your Kingdom." Shayba tried to advise King Abraha not to attack.
"Rest assured, Shayba. I know you are a wise and good leader. After successfully destroying the Sacred House of God, I will compensate your people. I will let your people migrate to my Kingdom and become my people." King Abraha politely invites Shayba to become his people.
"Thank you, King Abraha. However, you are on your own." Shayba response.
"I see. I honor your decision. I will give your people until tomorrow morning to evacuate. I will send scout teams to check your evacuation process. After the evacuation is finished, I will start the attack." King Abraha gave time until the following day to let the people of Bakkah City evacuate.
When Shayba returned home, he told the people of Bakkah City about what had happened between him and King Abraha and ordered them to evacuate and move to the mountains outside Bakkah City. Then, accompanied by some men, he stood holding the ring of the Sacred House of God door, invoked God, and sought His aid against King Abraha and his mighty advanced troops.
UTS Jerusalem, Shore of Darussalam City, 26 February 2141/ 26 Februarius 1841, 05:30 am
After leading the Fajr Prayer in a congregation (jama'ah) on the deck of UTS Jerusalem, Admiral Khalid ibn Walid orders his subordinate to prepare the preemptive strike against the force that attacked Yastrib and Darussalam City. Captain Muhammad Abdul and his team successfully replaced the gunpowder with a mini plasma generator from the UTS Jerusalem nuclear reactor. Sixty plasma cluster bombs were distributed to three squadrons, while each F-95C carried two plasma cluster bombs while also carrying 4 AAM or ASM plasma hypersonic missiles. Two squadrons attack the force approaching Darussalam City, and one attack the force approaching Yastrib City. Admiral Khalid named this operation 'Operation Ababil.' To ensure the mission's success, he sent all 120 F-95C in twelve squadrons to annihilate eighty thousand troops approaching Darussalam City and Yastrib City. This composition for the F-95C squadron:
Darussalam City Defends Squadron:
3 Squadrons entirely carried eight AAM plasma hypersonic missiles for air superiority
2 Squadrons carried two plasma cluster bombs, Four to six ASM plasma hypersonic missiles for ground attack
2 Squadrons carried eight AAM and ASM hypersonic missiles for multirole attack
Yastrib City Defends Squadrons:
2 Squadrons entirely carried with 8 AAM plasma hypersonic missiles for air superiority
1 Squadron carried two plasma cluster bombs, Four to six ASM plasma hypersonic missiles for ground attack
2 Squadrons carried eight AAM and ASM hypersonic missiles for multirole attack
As the preparations reached their culmination, a somber atmosphere enveloped the command center of UTS Jerusalem. The crew understood the weight of their mission and the sacrifices that would be made to protect their people and their allies.
Finally, with everything in place, Admiral Khalid ordered the launch of the Yastrib City Defends Squadrons of F-95C first because they have a more extended range than Darussalam City. Admiral Khalid chose Colonel Salman al-Farisi to lead the Yastrib City Defends Squadrons.
"Colonel Salman, I ordered you to lead your squadrons to defend the Yastrib City. Show them our advanced technology. Repel the enemy, and if they retreat, do not engage them. May God forgive us for our operation today." Admiral Khalid ordered Colonel Salman not to engage them if the enemies were to retreat.
"Yes, Admiral. We will do our best. We will defend the people of Yastrib and not let them approach the city."
While Colonel Salman al-Farisi became the leader of the Yastrib City Defends Squadron, Admiral Khalid chose Colonel Salah ad-Adin al-Ayubi to lead the Darussalam City Defends Squadron. Unlike Colonel Salman, Admiral Khalid does not remind Colonel Salah ad-Din because he knows his traits. Colonel Salah ad-Din is a chivalrous commander in UTS Jerusalem air squadrons. Initially, he refuses this mission because this preemptive strike against the primitive army is unfair. After Admiral Khalid tells him that the ambassador of United Terran and the Holiness Pope John Paul V in Darussalam City and Holy Body, he agrees to accept this mission as protection for the people of United Terran and its ally.
The orders not to engage the enemy if they retreat become the opposite of Secretary-General Hugo's orders to annihilate them totally. Unlike Hugo, who mercilessly acts against the enemy of the United Terran and its allies, Admiral Khalid is famous for his chivalrous act. However, this action will lead to mythical and legendary stories spread by the survivors of the Hamyur Army in the future.
"So, we will preemptively strike the primitive army approaching Yastrib City, Colonel Salman?" Lieutenant Ali, one of the wingmen in Yastrib City Defend Squadrons.
"Yes, Lieutenant Ali. We will strike them with our plasma cluster bombs and ASM hypersonic missiles. If that is enough, we will strife them with 30 mm rail cannons." Colonel Salman's response.
"I see. I hear the enemy utilizes a war elephant reinforced with a magic cannon and metal armor, right? So, we will become the 'Ababil' and strike them with plasma cluster bombs and plasma hypersonic missiles resembling 'Sijjil'?" Lieutenant Ali comment.
"Yeah, this coincidence is similar to the Elephant Army strike on Makkah sixteen centuries ago. However, this time, the 'flock of birds' is not literally animals but advanced updated 7th-generation stealth fighters bombing them with plasma cluster bombs and missiles resemble 'hell stone' with very high temperature." Colonel Salman's response.
After the preparation and checking process of the F-95C finished, Admiral Khalid ordered Colonel Salman and his squadrons to prepare to take off. Colonel Salman orders his squadron to take off with the Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) system from the UTS Jerusalem deck. Each F-95C takes off with VTOL and is ready to fly forward while waiting for the remaining fighter. While flying, they activate total stealth and camouflage systems. Thanks to the hybrid fuel cell as the fuel, the sound of engine noise of the F-95C is significantly reduced to increase the stealth and camouflage capability.
After all F-95C of Yastrib Squadrons successfully take off, they fly forward to the target of 1000 km to the Yastrib City. Colonel Salman and his squadrons fly at low speed at two Mach to save fuel. The sleek, advanced stealth fighters disappeared into the sky, their deadly payload primed and ready to unleash devastation upon the enemy forces.
50 km south from Yastrib City, Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate, 26 February 2141/ 26 Februarius 1841, 05:56 am
General Dzu Nuwas and his thirty thousand troops are ready to continue their advances to the Yastrib City. King Abraha orders him to besiege the Yastrib City and try to talk to them first. The primary mission of King Abraha and Imperio Estelar is to obtain the Holy Body, not to destroy and capture the Yastrib City. However, if the people of Yastrib City and soldiers of Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate stand still to defend the city and the Holy Body, destroy them and minimize destruction for the city to prevent the destruction of the Holy Body.
Amr ibn Luhay, ArchWizard of Imperio Estelar, suddenly feels a dreadful and deadly feeling approaching them, so he reports it to General Dzu Nuwas.
"General Dzu Nuwas, I feel something horrible approaching and intercepting us." Amr report to Dzu Nuwas.
"Do you mean the mighty troops of Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate will ambush us? Impossible, the range of Darussalam City and Yastrib is 1000 km, and we successfully cover this campaign from enemy spies. Maybe you feel the patrol of enemy dragon troops?" Dzu Nuwas asked Amr.
"I do not know, General. I do not feel the magic fluctuation in the sky and land. However, this dreadful feeling makes me tremble. May I suggest something, General?" Amr did not feel the magic fluctuation, the sign of a magic beast or army approaching.
"What kind of your advice, Sir Amr? Please speak freely." Dzu Nuwas let Amr to advise him.
"We must stop invasion today and wait until the condition improves. If you reject my advice, you could send wyvern overlord squadrons to check the condition around Yastrib City." Amr advice.
"I see. We could not stop because King Abraha and the representative of Imperio Estelar wanted us to obtain the Holy Body. This mission is to show the capability of the Hamyur Kingdom as a good vassal. I agree with you about sending wyvern overlords to surveillance around Yastrib City. If the enemy is ready to ambush us, we will bombard them with our wyvern overlords and giant firebirds." Dzu Nuwas ordered Wyvern overlord squadrons to check the condition around Yastrib City.
Two squadrons of wyvern overlords and one squadron of giant firebirds are sent to check the Yastrib City area. The riders ride their wyvern overlords and giant firebirds, and if they find the enemy, some of the wyvern overlords or giant firebirds return to report. At the same time, the rest will engage and bombard the enemy. Captain Shrahal Dhi Yazan, leader of Wyvern overlord and giant firebird squadrons, orders his wingmen to take off and survey the area. He leads his wingmen to take this mission.
"Captain Shrahal, Arcwizard Amr ibn Luhay, tell us that something dreadful is approaching and waiting for us in the Yastrib City. What is that meaning, sir? Could you explain to us?" One of Shrahal's wingmen asked him.
"I do not know, but we must take it carefully. If we find the enemy trying to ambush us, at least one must return to report the situation, while the rest will fight and engage them." Shrahal orders to his wingmen.
While flying approaching the Yastrib City, Shrahal suddenly feels their death is near. However, he will stand to take this mission as the elite air force from the Hamyur Kingdom and reinforce it with the magic beast from Imperio Estelar. They flew in V formation while Shrahal flew in the rear to monitor the overall situation in the front.
50 km north of Yastrib City, Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate, 26 February 2141/ 26 Februarius 1841, 05:56 am
Fifty km north of Yastrib City, Colonel Salman ordered the air attack squadrons to unleash their plasma hypersonic missiles and engage the enemy with AAM plasma hypersonic missiles.
Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.
"Thirty-six bogey was detected, and air attack squadron leaders annihilated them." Colonel Salman ordered the air attack squadron leaders to release AAM plasma hypersonic missiles to destroy the wyvern overlords and giant birds of Shrahal squadrons.
"Roger that, Colonel. Preparing the missiles and designing the target." The leader squadrons of attack forces respond.
"Target acquired, and look on the target. Fox 4, launch the plasma missile". One of the leaders launched the AAM plasma hypersonic from his F-95C.
"Fox 4, launch the plasma missile". All the designated F-95C to annihilate the wyvern overlords and giant big birds launch their AAM plasma hypersonic missiles.
Thirty-six AAM plasma hypersonic missiles were launched from F-95C and flew to their target. The first AAM plasma hypersonic missiles launched from the first F-95C fighter arrived at the designed target in twenty seconds. Because of the plasma hypersonic missile's very high speed, at 20 Mach, the wyverns and giant firebirds could not react and were obliterated by the plasma's very high temperature.
Shrahal was shocked that the front wyvern and giant firebirds were obliterated by unknown. He thought this was the fire magic from the Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate dragon, but he could not see the dragons.
"Enemy attack! Try to ev..." Boom. The sound of the explosion of one of the wingmen obliterates because of the plasma hypersonic missiles.
One of the wingmen, blessed to have magnificent sight, saw something similar to an arrow approaching them with tremendous magical speed.
"Captain, I saw something similar to an arrow approaching us and obliterating the wyvern overlord and giant birds in the front." He reports to Shrahal.
"Conduct evade maneuvering," Shrahal orders his remaining wyvern overlords and giant firebirds to conduct evasion maneuvering while he also maneuvers his wyvern overlords.
"Roger th.." Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom
Before the riders respond and conduct evasion maneuvering, they are already obliterated by plasma hypersonic missiles.
Fortunately, only Shrahal and one remaining wingman with magnificent sight can conduct evasion maneuvering, letting the plasma hypersonic missile miss their straight-line trajectory. However, because advanced AI and satellites guided the missiles, they could turn back and target Shrahal and his wingmen.
"That arrow is turning back ag.." Boom. The plasma obliterated the wingmen and his wyvern overlord.
"Damn, what kind of type of that arrow. It could return." With high fortune, Sharhal could be maneuvering to evade the plasma missile again for the second time.
However, he already used his remaining fortune to evade. So, when he tried to evade it the third time, the AI calculated the future trajectory of Sharhal evasion and guided the missile to the same coordinate.
"Finally, I am.." Boom. Finally, Sharhal met his end with the plasma hypersonic missiles guided by advanced AI.
50 km south from Yastrib City, Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate, 26 February 2141/ 26 Februarius 1841, 06:06 am
Ten minutes after Captain Sharhal took off, Amr ibn Luhay trembled. He could not detect Sharhal and his squadrons' magic wave. The bad omen came true, and he tried to warn General Dzu Nuwas.
"General, we lost contact with Captain Sharhal and his squadrons. We assume the Dawlat al-Nur army intercepted and shot down them. Damn, why did Imperio Estelar not give us their magic communication and magic radar to detect enemy magic dragons? If we had those magic communications, we could immediately prevent this incident." Amr report.to Dzu Nuwas.
"Tell the troops to launch all wyvern overlords and giant firebirds. Prepare the new anti-air magic cannon from Imperio Estelar. Enemy dragons will come to us." Dzu Nuwas orders his troops to prepare the airstrike from enemy dragons.
50 km above the Dzu Nuwas main camp, Colonel Salman ordered his ground attack wingmen to prepare their plasma cluster bombs.
"Prepare plasma cluster bombs and slow your speed to below 0.5 Mach. Calculate the trajectory of the plasma cluster bomb with AI and drop it while you arrive at the target coordinate. The remaining wingmen stand by to launch your ASM missiles." Colonel Salman orders his wingmen.
"One hundred and twenty wyverns and giant birds approaching initiates to relaunch AAM." One of the air attack squadrons reported that the remaining wyverns and giant birds approached them.
"Affirmative, obliterate those flying creatures. Launch AAM." Colonel Salman ordered his air attack squadron to obliterate all enemy wyverns and giant birds with AAM plasma hypersonic missiles guided by AI
As the wyverns and giant birds approached, Colonel Salman's air attack squadron swiftly engaged, launching a barrage of one hundred AAM plasma hypersonic missiles toward them. The advanced AI guided the missiles precisely, homing in on their targets with deadly accuracy.
After the first wyvern overlords became the target, one rider with good and divine vision traits saw many arrows approaching them.
"What the hell is that arrow? So many arrows are coming to us." He commented while the first wyvern overlords were obliterated.
"Enemy Attack! Eva..." Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. One of the riders tries to warn his comrade, but before his orders, plasma hypersonic missiles have already obliterated him.
The sky erupted in a flurry of explosions as the plasma hypersonic missiles closed in on their targets. The remaining wyverns and giant birds, caught off guard by the sudden onslaught, attempted to evade, but the missiles were too fast and relentless. One by one, the searing heat of the plasma obliterated them, their bodies torn apart in the explosions that followed.
Colonel Salman grimly watched the scene through satellite video as the last of the enemy flying creatures obliterated and the remaining human and flying creatures fell from the sky, their once majestic forms reduced to nothing more than smoldering wreckage. The threat from the Hamyur Kingdom's aerial forces had been neutralized, but he knew this was only the beginning of the slaughtering battle to defend Yastrib City.
"Ground attack wingmen, prepare to deploy plasma cluster bombs, calculate it precisely, and do not miss because these plasma cluster bombs are precious to the total annihilated enemy." Colonel Salman ordered, his voice steady despite the chaos unfolding around them.
"Target the enemy encampment below and rain hellfire upon them. May God forgive us. Launch the plasma cluster bombs." Colonel Salman ordered the launch of plasma cluster bombs
Following their commander's orders, the ground attack wingmen adjusted their trajectories and armed their plasma cluster bombs. With the guidance of the advanced AI, they calculated the optimal drop points and were ready to release their payload.
At the same time, Colonel Salman's remaining wingmen stood ready, their ASM missiles armed and primed for launch. They knew their mission was far from over, and they were prepared to unleash further devastation upon the enemy forces below.
Amr ibn Luhay trembles severely because of the lost magic wave of one hundred strong wyvern overlords and giant firebirds.
"General.. General.. We.. We.. We lost all of our wyvern overlords and giant firebirds." Amr reports the loss of their air power.
"What? How? How did we lose 156 wyvern overlords and giant firebirds so quickly? Prepare the magic anti-air cannons, magic cannons, and magic muskets. We will face and engage them. They use stealth magic to cover their bodies. Amr, please detect the magic wave in a radius of 10 km to detect the enemy's stealth." General Dzu Nuwas surprisingly guessed the truth about United Terrans' use of stealth systems in their aircraft.
However, the difference is that they did not release magic waves; only electromagnetic waves were limited to zero because of the reduced Radar Cross Section (RCS) and advanced nanomaterial that absorbed the electromagnetic wave signal. Stealth aircraft use Stealth Technology to evade recognition by utilizing a mix of highlights with the goal that aircraft can invade with RADAR and decrease the deceivability in "radio frequency (RF) and wavelength range," sound, and infrared visual [1].
With magnificent and divine sight, one of the soldiers was ready with his AA gun mounted in a war elephant and scanning the sky for the incoming enemy air strike. Then, he saw something falling from the sky that fell 100 m before him. Suddenly, that unknown something exploded and released energy with a very high temperature of more than 1000 oC. Humans and animals exposed to that energy suddenly obliterated to become carbon black as the remaining. That unknown thing falls with many numbers and ignites the chain of explosion.
The remaining troops tried to shoot that thing before it exploded and obliterated the troops in the ground. They tried as many as possible to shoot that unknown thing. Fortunately, some submunitions of plasma cluster bombs were destroyed in the sky because magic AA cannons impacted them. However, the very high plasma temperature made the living creature suffer significant burns. The soldiers only have two choices: obliterated directly by the plasma with less pain or die by significant burn.
Twenty plasma cluster bombs successfully annihilated 50% of General Dzu Nuwas, or nearly fifteen thousand casualties from obliterated or died by significant burn. General Dzu Nuwas and Amr ibn Luhay survive the plasma cluster effect because they are in the rear of the troops.
"What.. What.. What happens? Amr, explain to me. What happens to my mighty troops?" Dzu Nuwas shocked and trembled because half of his army was already obliterated or dead.
"I.. I.. I do not know what happens to our troops, General. I detected the very high temperature of that unknown thing. However, we do not know the source of those things." Amr reported trembling.
As the plasma cluster bombs detonated with earth-shattering force, engulfing the Hamyur Kingdom army camp in flames and chaos, Colonel Salman's wingmen unleashed their hypersonic plasma ASM missiles, targeting any remaining threats with deadly precision.
As the chaos ensued on the ground, Colonel Salman's wingmen maintained their focus in the air, launching ASM missiles at any remaining threats they could identify. Their mission was to neutralize any remaining defenses and ensure the destruction of the enemy encampment.
"Fire ASM missiles at any targets still active on the ground. We must ensure that no enemy forces remain to threaten our ally in the Yastrib City," Colonel Salman commanded, his voice resolute amidst the turmoil.
The ground shook with the force of the explosions as the ASM missiles found their marks, obliterating infantry and war animals alike. The Hamyur Kingdom armies crumbled under the relentless assault of plasma hypersonic missiles, leaving nothing but smoldering wreckage in their wake.
Meanwhile, on the ground, General Dzu Nuwas, Amr, and the small remaining troops of the general bodyguard scrambled to regroup amidst the devastation. Amr's shield magic allowed him to save himself, General Dzu Nuwas, and the bodyguards. With nearly all of his forces decimated by the plasma cluster bombs and ASM plasma hypersonic missiles, Dzu Nuwas knew they were facing a dire situation. Facing an unknown enemy, not detecting the enemy position, and being slaughtered by unknown enemy weapons, there is no hope for this mission. There is only one choice: Retreat and return to Bakkah City to inform King Abraha.
As the chaos and devastation enveloped the battlefield, General Dzu Nuwas, Amr, and the small remaining contingent of the general bodyguard hastily regrouped amidst the smoldering ruins of their once mighty army camp. With Amr's shield magic faltering under the onslaught of the plasma explosions, they knew their only chance of survival was a swift retreat.
"General Dzu Nuwas, we must retreat! Our forces are decimated, and we cannot withstand this onslaught. We must return to Bakkah City and inform King Abraha of what has transpired here," Amr urged, his voice strained with exhaustion and desperation.
Dzu Nuwas nodded in agreement, his once proud demeanor now replaced with a grim resolve. "You speak the truth, Amr. We cannot hope to prevail against such overwhelming power. Rally what troops we have left and prepare for a strategic withdrawal to Bakkah City." Dzu Nuwas ordered his last remaining troops to retreat to Bakkah City.
With their magic reserves depleted and their morale shattered, Dzu Nuwas and Amr led their small band of survivors in a desperate retreat from the battlefield. Amr struggled to maintain his magic shield, using every ounce of his remaining magic power to protect himself and those around him from the relentless barrage of plasma explosions.
As they fled, the ground trembled beneath their feet as Colonel Salman's wingmen continued their merciless assault, targeting any remaining pockets of resistance with their advanced weaponry.
"Colonel Salman, we detected some remaining survivors. Need approval to engage and conduct strafing with 30 mm rail cannon." One ground attack squadron's wingmen need the approval to conduct strife action.
"Negative. Admiral Khalid orders us not to engage the retreating enemies." Colonel Salman rejected the request.
"Colonel, our Secretary General ordered us not to let survivors. If the survivors tell their leaders about our technology and position, we and Dawlat al-Nur will be endangered, and they will make a more anticipated strategy against us. We did not have a treaty similar to the Geneva Convention here. Also, the Secretary-General will take responsibility for this operation". The wingmen who idolized Hugo van Dijk criticize his Colonel's response.
Colonel Salman has a conflict between the heart and brain. Admiral Khalid wants to give mercy to the survivor, but this will leak information about United Terran. While Hugo wants to annihilate the enemies to prevent the information leak, his heart is hurt because this is not a chivalrous action in battles. However, he must think clearly about the lesser threat to United Terran. Finally, he approves his wingmen to strafing and annihilate the remaining enemy. He pray to God to forgive his squadron's action in this battle.
"Okay. I will approve the strafing action. Annihilate all the remaining enemies. May God forgive us." Colonel Salman orders his wingmen to strafe the enemies with a 30 mm rail cannon.
"Roger that. Conduct strafing action." The wingmen descend and open the rail cannon chamber, ready to strafe the enemy.
Amidst the chaos, a swift and deadly 7th generation stealth fighter of the United Terran forces streaked through the sky, its stealth technology rendering it nearly invisible to detection.
The remaining Hamyur Kingdom army survivors attempted to flee to safety, only to be met with a hail of rail cannon fire from the alien fighter aircraft. The air filled with the deafening roar of the rail cannon as it unleashed its deadly payload upon the retreating forces. They only hear 'Brrrrrttt.. Brrrttt.. Brrrrrrt' while their remaining forces fall down because they get shot and dismembered by a 30 mm rail cannon.
During the chaos, a single shot from the rail cannon found its mark, striking General Dzu Nuwas and his bodyguard with devastating force. The impact tore through their ranks, leaving a trail of death and destruction in its wake.
As the dust settled and the echoes of battle faded into silence, Amr found himself lying amidst the carnage, his body battered and broken but miraculously still alive, thanks to his last magic power. With his last breath, he gazed up at the alien fighter, decloaking its stealth system and hovering ominously overhead, a grim testament to the overwhelming power of their adversaries.
"Wha.. Whaa.. What is that? Does the USA (United States of Amarilon) join to help Dawlat al-Nur?" The last question from Amr becomes a mystery. And then darkness descends, claiming him as its final victim in this brutal and unforgiving conflict.
"Enemy is annihilated. Return to base. May God forgive us." Colonel Salman and his squadrons return to UTS Jerusalem.
800 Km of Darussalam City, Main Camp of Hamyur Kingdom Third Army, 26 February 2141/ 26 Februarius 1841, 07:00 am
General Sumyafa Aswa, the second general, led the most significant Hamyur Kingdom troops' invasion of the Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate with fifty thousand mighty troops. The army consists of three hundred (300) wyvern overlords and two hundred (200) giant firebirds for the air forces. One thousand (1000) war elephants reinforced with magic cannons, anti-air cannons, and metal armor, and Five thousand giant fire basiliks as the cavalry. The remaining forces are heavy cavalry with horse and metal armor, infantry with magic muskets and swords, Archers with magic arrows, and wizards capable of releasing fire and wind for the offensive. The logistics for animals consist of one thousand wizards capable of releasing water and earth magic for the drinks and food of the war beasts. They brought ten thousand camels as the meat source for carnivorous beasts and humans. This massive army and logistics are the support from Imperio Estelar for the first invasion of the Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate.
"This is the mighty army we can have after collaboration with Imperio Estelar. Even though our primary mission is to destroy the Sacred House of God and obtain the Holy Body, King Abraha orders us to prevent Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate's main army from intervening. If we could destroy their main army, we could march to Darussalam City and capture the Caliph." General Sumyafa Aswa comments about his mighty army.
"Indeed, we are the strongest army in our regions. We will defeat the Caliphate's main army and conquer the Darussalam City," one of Sumyafa's officers responded.
Suddenly, Lātta, the archwizard, reports about the strange phenomenon that has already happened. He can not sense Amr ibn Luhay's magic power.
"General Sumyafa, I can not detect Amr ibn Luhay's magic power. I assume he must use cloak magic to cover himself, or, worst case, he is already dead." Lātta reports about Amr's loss of magic power.
"It's Impossible. How powerful is an archwizard like Amr ibn Luhay dead on the battlefield? He is escorted by General Dzu Nuwas the Mighty. Even though they have fewer troops, his strategy and tactics are better than mine." General Sumyafa is shocked after hearing the reports.
"This is only the assumption, General. However, what kind of army could defeat and kill Amr ibn Luhay if this is true? Based on our intelligence information, Yastrib City only has five thousand regular army. Even if we include the people as militia, their strength is only thirty thousand. That is insufficient to defeat General Dzu Nuwas's mighty army with war elephants, wyvern overlords, and giant firebirds." Lātta assumes the possibility of General Dzu Nuwas facing Yastrib City.
Suddenly, Lātta feels dreadful, similar to Amr's, before the air strikes. He then asked General Sumyafa to fly wyvern overlords and giant firebirds.
"General, I feel extremely dreadful that something is approaching us. Please send our wyvern overlords and giant firebirds to check it. I suggest sending four squadrons for better safety." Lātta begged General Sumyafa to send wyvern overlords and giant firebirds.
"Okay, I trust you. I sent four squadrons of wyvern overlords and giant firebirds. If they found an enemy, they split into two forces. Small forces returned to tell us the information, and the rest will trying to engage the enemy." General Sumyafa orders his army.
Then, four squadrons of wyvern overlords and giant firebirds were ready to take off. They ordered surveillance of the area ahead.
200 Km of Main Camp of Hamyur Kingdom Third Army, 26 February 2141/ 26 Februarius 1841, 07:00 am
Colonel Salah ad-Din, famous as Colonel Saladin, led the Darussalam City Defends Squadrons. Like Colonel Salman, they must annihilate the enemy approaching Darussalam City. However, Colonel Saladin's squadrons will meet with Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate Magic Dragon Corps as reinforcement. Because the flying speed of the F-95C is higher than that of dragons, he ordered the annihilation of the enemy air force and anti-air cannons. He let the dragon corps from Dawlat al-Nur finish the mission and capture the prisoner of war.
Suddenly, one of the wingmen detected through radar and confirmed it with a satellite image.
"We detected forty-eight enemy wyverns and giant birds. Need permission to engage with plasma AAM." One of the air attack squadrons reported and asked permission to engage.
"Affirmative. Permission granted, engage the enemy and launch plasma AAM." Colonel Saladin responds.
Forty-eight AAM plasma hypersonic missiles were launched from air attack squadrons to annihilate the surveillance team of Hamyur Kingdom's third army.
Forty-eight AAM plasma hypersonic missiles arrive at their precise target in twenty seconds. Because of the very high plasma temperature, all riders, wyvern overlords, and giant firebirds were obliterated. After the surveillance squadrons are obliterated, the remaining air forces of the Himyur Kingdom's third army are the next target.
"Colonel, we detected the enemy main camp 200 km ahead. Permission to engage with ASM plasma missiles." One of the attack ground squadrons report about the enemy main camp
"Affirmative. First, destroy enemy wyverns, giant birds, and then enemy anti-air cannons. Use plasma cluster bombs to destroy the rest," Colonel Saladin ordered.
"Roger that, launch ASM and AAM plasma missiles," Ground attack squadrons respond.
The main camp of Hamyur Kingdom Third Army, 26 February 2141/ 26 Februarius 1841, 07:05 am
Lātta was surprised when forty-eight wyvern overlords and giant birds suddenly lost their magic wave. He trembled because something dreadful was approaching them.
"General, we lost our surveillance teams. I assume they are fighting against enemy dragons. Only dragons capable of defeating wyvern overlords and giant firebirds. Even our air force is no match against their dragons, but with the swarm of wyvern overlords and giant firebirds, dragons can be defeated. I suggest sending twenty squadrons of wyvern overlords and giant firebirds to swarm enemy dragons, and the rest will be used as our defense if this attack fails." Lātta suggests.
"Good idea. Even if these twenty squadrons are defeated again, we can finish Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate's dragon corps with the remaining wyvern overlord, giant firebirds, and anti-air magic cannons. Maybe they will send all of their dragons this time. After we defeated the dragon's corps, we could easily conquer Darussalam City." General Sumyafa then sent twenty squadrons.
While the wyverns and giant birds are ready to take off, they are suddenly hit by ASM plasma missiles. While wyverns and giant birds were already flying, they got hit by AAM plasma missiles.
As the chaos unfolded in the Hamyur Kingdom's third army main camp, General Sumyafa, and Lātta watched in horror as the precision strikes of the plasma missiles obliterated their air forces. With their wyvern overlords and giant firebirds obliterated or the remaining creatures falling from the sky, their plans for aerial dominance crumbled before their eyes.
Amidst the confusion, a soldier with keen sight spotted something hurtling towards the ground, the source of their devastation. General Sumyafa swiftly issued orders, recognizing the urgency of the situation.
"Prepare the anti-air magic cannons! Shoot down anything that comes from the sky!" he commanded, his voice laced with urgency.
The soldiers scrambled to comply, swiftly maneuvering the anti-air magic cannons into position. With trained precision, they aimed skyward, their senses heightened by the imminent threat.
Suddenly, a barrage of projectiles streaked across the sky, hurtling toward the camp with deadly intent. The anti-air magic cannons roared to life, unleashing powerful bursts of magic energy towards the incoming threat. However, they can not hit plasma hypersonic missiles with anti-air magic cannon projectiles. ASM plasma missiles then destroy their anti-air magic cannons. From one hundred anti-air magic cannons, the remaining is ten after ASM plasma missiles barrage.
Above the sky, ground attack squadrons prepared to release plasma cluster bombs after calculating with advanced AI. Based on the simulation and calculation, forty plasma cluster bombs could annihilate at least thirty thousand to forty thousand of the enemy. The speed of F-95C, elevation, wind speed, range, altitude, and gravitation become parameters for calculation, and AI calculated the dropping point for every plasma cluster bomb to maximize the effect. After calculation, they dropped the plasma cluster bombs in the target coordinate.
The barrage of anti-air magic cannons is stopped on the ground because previous ASM plasma missile attacks have destroyed them. Submunition from plasma cluster bombs obliterates anything in a ten-meter radius while causing significant burn wounds in a one-hundred-meter radius.
General Sumyafa and Lātta stood amidst the chaos, their faces etched with shock and disbelief as they witnessed the devastating onslaught unleashed upon their forces. The incoming plasma cluster bombs painted a grim picture of their impending doom, threatening to obliterate everything in their path with ruthless efficiency.
Realizing the imminent danger, General Sumyafa and Lātta acted swiftly to protect themselves and their remaining troops in the close area. With a wave of his hand, Lātta summoned a shimmering barrier of magic, weaving intricate spells to create a protective shield around them. The magic shield crackled with energy, forming a barrier against the searing heat and destructive force of the plasma cluster bombs; however, the high temperature of plasma made the consumption of magic power of Lātta rapid and exhausted him.
As the barrage of plasma cluster bombs rained down upon them, the protective shield held firm, deflecting the deadly projectiles and shielding them from the worst of the devastation. Despite the intense heat and force of the explosions, General Sumyafa and Lātta remained unscathed within their magical sanctuary, their hearts heavy with the weight of their losses. Lātta ordered his subordinate to drink the magic potion to maintain the magic shield. Even the magic potion could heal the magic power, the mental burden because they saw something terrible, and the loss of their mighty army dropped the mental power of Lātta.
When the onslaught finally ceased and the smoke began to clear, the true extent of the devastation became painfully apparent. Around them lay the shattered remnants of their once-mighty army, with thirty-five thousand troops obliterated or lying dead and countless others wounded, their bodies ravaged by the merciless flames of war.
General Sumyafa surveyed the scene with a heavy heart, his mind reeling from the magnitude of their losses. The defeat was a bitter pill to swallow, a stark reminder of the harsh realities of war and the fickle nature of fate. Nevertheless, even in such devastation, he knew their mission was far from over.
Grim determination flickered in his eyes as he turned to Lātta, his voice firm with resolve. "We may have suffered a heavy blow but are not defeated yet. Rally the troops, Lātta. We will not rest until we have avenged our fallen comrades and emerged victorious from this trial." General Sumyafa tried to encourage his remaining troops.
"General, we can not advance like this. We did not know what happened to our army." Lātta protest.
Suddenly, he remembers Amr's lost magic wave. Does this phenomenon also happen to General Dzu Nuwas and Amr ibn Luhay's forces? What kind of unknown force could release this terrifying power? Could Dawlat al-Nur release forbidden magic to destroy them? That is impossible because the main camp and Darussalam City range are more than 700 km apart, and how do they know their army's exact location?
He remembers that the United States of Amarilon has magic technology for surveillance from the sky. Does the USA help the Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate? No, that is impossible. The USA did not want its secret magic technology to be used for primitive nations like the Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate in terms of its magic technology power.
While Lātta remembers and tries to understand what happened to their army, the barrage of ASM from F-95C rains again upon them. As the barrage of ASM plasma missiles from the F-95C continued to rain down upon them, General Sumyafa and Lātta found themselves once again engulfed in chaos and destruction. The relentless assault tore through their already decimated ranks, leaving death and devastation in its wake.
Despite their best efforts to regroup and rally their remaining forces, the enemy's overwhelming firepower proved too much to withstand. Once proud, the Hamyur Kingdom's third army was now reduced to a mere shadow of its former self, its strength shattered, and its morale broken.
With each passing moment, the situation grew increasingly dire. General Sumyafa and Lātta knew that they were fighting a losing battle, their forces outmatched and outnumbered by the relentless onslaught of the enemy.
Amidst the chaos and destruction, desperation began to take hold. General Sumyafa and Lātta knew they needed to find a way to turn the tide of battle, somehow regain the upper hand, and emerge victorious against all odds.
However, as they struggled to formulate a plan, the enemy's relentless assault showed no signs of abating. The F-95C continued to rain down plasma missiles upon them, their devastating firepower tearing through their ranks ruthlessly.
In the face of such overwhelming firepower, General Sumyafa and Lātta knew they had no choice but to retreat. With heavy hearts and wounded bodies, they were ordered to fall back, regroup, and reassess their strategy in the hopes of mounting a counterattack. Even General Sumyafa and Lātta wounded with moderate fire burns because of the plasma effect.
The barrage of ASM plasma missiles reduced the remaining fifteen thousand troops to a mere fifty people, including wounded General Sumyafa and Lātta. They lost all their magic beasts, air force, magic cannons, and nearly fifty thousand of their initial army.
Colonel Saladin monitored the location by satellite video above the sky. He then ordered his subordinate to send a coordinate from the enemy's retreating route so Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate dragon corps could intercept and capture them.
"This is Colonel Salah ad-Din. Informed to Admiral Khalid and Sharif Hussein. We successfully annihilated the enemy. The remaining enemy had only fifty people. Please send Dawlat al-Nur dragon corps to intercept and capture them. Over." Colonel Saladin sent the report.
"This is Hussein. Caliph Umar has already dispatched dragon corps to capture the remaining enemy. They are already 400 km from you, and the estimated time of arrival (ETA) is one hour. Could you release a nano drone to survey the enemy troops?" Hussein respond.
"Affirmative, release the nano drones for surveillance." Colonel Saladin released nano drones.
"Good job, Colonel Salah ad-Din. Return to base." Admiral Khalid orders.
"Wilco. Return to base." Colonel Saladin and his Darussalam City defend squadrons return to the UTS Jerusalem.
5 Km from the slaughtering field, General Sumyafa and Lātta are rested because of their moderate wound. As they retreated from the battlefield, the echoes of their defeat reverberated through the air, a grim reminder of the harsh realities of slaughter and the sacrifices it demanded. Unknown to them, they retreat, already monitored by nano drones.
The Emergency Main Camp of Hamyur Kingdom Third Army, 26 February 2141/ 26 Februarius 1841, 08:30 am
General Saad, commander of the dragon corps of Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate, got the information from a strange information device from United Terran. He could communicate with Caliph Umar and Hussein in Darussalam City. This device is solely based on science and technology, not magic. Even someone without magic power could operate this device. He got the mission to capture the remaining Hamyur Kingdom army.
He received the urgent orders relayed through the advanced communication device provided by the United Terran States. The mission was clear: locate and capture the remnants of the Hamyur Kingdom's third army. With a grim determination, he led his dragon corps toward the coordinates provided.
While flying below the slaughtered location, he and his dragon's corps severely tremble to look at the battleground. The mighty army of Hamyur Kingdom, reinforced with magic cannons from Imperio Estelar, cannot withstand the United Terran power. He thanked God that the United Terran became the ally nation of the Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate.
As they approached the designated area, General Saad and his forces spotted the emergency camp of the remaining Hamyur Kingdom soldiers. The sight of the battered troops stirred a mixture of emotions within him—pity for their plight and resolve to carry out his orders.
Descending upon the camp with the majestic fury of his dragon corps, General Saad watched as shock and fear rippled through the ranks of the Hamyur soldiers. General Sumyafa and Lātta, their faces etched with resignation, realized the futility of resistance in their wounded state.
With a heavy heart, General Sumyafa raised a hand in surrender, acknowledging the overwhelming might of the dragon corps. Lātta, physically and mentally drained, could only nod in silent acquiescence.
General Saad approached them, his expression stern yet tinged with a hint of compassion for their plight. "You have fought bravely, but your cause is lost," he stated solemnly. "Surrender peacefully, and no further harm will come to you or your men."
General Sumyafa, his pride wounded but his spirit unbroken, mustered the strength to speak. "Before we yield, I must know," he began, his voice strained with fatigue. "What manner of magic was unleashed upon us? Who wields such power?" General Sumyafa asked about the type of magic Dawlat AL-Nur used against them.
General Saad regarded them somberly, understanding the weight of their question. "It was not the Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate that unleashed that devastation upon you," he explained. "It was a powerful new nation known as the United Terran. Their technology far surpasses anything we have encountered before."
General Sumyafa and Lātta exchanged incredulous glances, struggling to comprehend the revelation. The idea of a nation wielding such advanced technology was beyond anything they had imagined.
"But how did they know our location?" Lātta questioned, his mind racing with possibilities.
General Saad shook his head, his expression grave. "That remains a mystery. However, one thing is certain—you are facing a formidable foe unlike any you have encountered."
With their questions answered but their hearts heavy with uncertainty, General Sumyafa and Lātta resigned themselves to their fate. They had been defeated not by swords or magic but by the inexorable march of progress and the might of an unseen adversary, science and technology.
As they surrendered to General Saad and his dragon corps, they knew their journey was far from over. The shadows of war loomed large over the horizon, and the actual battle had only begun.
Meanwhile, a UAV from UTS Jerusalem carried four small plasma ASMs and an advanced stealth system flying to the Bakkah to conduct a surveillance mission.
Five km from Bakkah City, Maincamp of Hamyur Army, 26 February 2141/ 26 Februarius 1841, 10:00 am
After the information of scout received information that the people of Bakkah City already evacuated to the mountain, King Masruq Abraha ordered his first army to march and destroy the city wall to destroy the Sacred House of God.
Suddenly, from the seaside sky, a swarm of birds resembling swallows approached Hamyur Kingdom's first army. The swallows brought two small stones to their feet and released the sound of the bird. If the people of Bakkah City saw this swarm of swallows, they would call it "Ababeel."
The stone that birds carried resembles lava stone with some fire and heat left in the stone. The birds insulate their feet with some special oil, carrying them in the cold section with the narrow surface area of their feet so the birds do not feel the heat from the stones. The narrower and smaller the diameter and surface area, the smaller the heat transfer from the source (in this condition, heat lava stone) is [2]. The special oil could insulate because of its low viscosity advantage for heat dissipation [3]. Integrating narrow surface area and special oil as insulation could increase heat dissipation and reduce heat transfer [4].
If people in normal conditions hear this sound, they will be happy. However, if you hear the massive swarm of swallows approaching you while carrying two small fire lava stones, it will sound like death. The screaming sound of birds creates a Doppler effect when approaching and diving from high altitude to release the fire lava stones. The birds dive into the Hamyur Kingdom's first army, drop their fire lava stones, and fly up again. The birds that had already dropped their fire lava stones continued to release their screaming sound to frighten the enemy on the grounds psychologically. The bird's screams haunt the enemy ground troops and decrease their morale. Their action resembles the close air support aircraft with sirens in World War II.
Fire lava stones have high temperatures, and if people get hit by this stone, they will suffer severe burns and death if hit in the vital point. Unfortunately, the first army did not carry anti-air magic cannons because they thought the Dawlat al-Nur air force would not attack them because of the range from Darussalam City. Without proper anti-air defense, the effective close air support from Ababeel is very high. The infantry tries to shoot the bird with the magic muskets, but their action is futile. The slow reload time of the musket hinders this action. Because of instinct, the bird will be prioritized to strike the infantry with muskets and weapons capable of shooting them down.
"What happened is this? What the hell are those birds? Why did they attack us with fire stones?" King Abraha asks his archwizard, Jahal.
"Forgive me, Your Majesty. I do not know why these small birds attack us. However, I feel something dreadful about whether we continue this mission." Jahal respond.
"Shoot those damn birds with our weapons. Where is our anti-air magic cannon?" King Abraha asked again.
"Forgive me, Your Majesty. The anti-air magic cannons were only distributed to the second and third armies, and we did not carry those cannons." Jagal respond.
"What? Then shoot those damn birds with magic muskets and arrows." King Abraha orders them to shoot down the birds with magic muskets and arrows.
However, the effectiveness is very low because of the limitation of magic muskets, the number of arrows, and the size of the swarm of birds.
With every second, King Abraha's first army is down because of the airstrike from the birds. The Lack of anti-air defense makes their war elephant with cannons and metal armor useless. Metal has high conductivity, while the heat from fire lava stone collides with metal armor, and the heat rapidly transfers to the war elephant and soldiers on top. They will suffer severe burns and die if got hit directly.
This phenomenon resembles the condition in the west front of World War II. The Allied airstrike and close air support destroyed the strong and heavy panzer of Germany. General Bernard Montgomery said: "If we lose the battle in the air, we lose the war, and we lose it quickly." Because King Abraha did not carry wyvern overlords and giant firebirds as air force and anti-air magic cannons as anti-air defense in the first army, so they lost against the mere swarm of birds carrying fire lava stone.
One of the fire lava stones hit King Abraha in his helmet, and he threw the helmet. Because of the high conductivity of the metal helmet, King Abraha got a severe burn. Before he lost consciousness, he ordered Jahal to give a retreat signal to the army. Jahal then ordered the general and officers to retreat from Bakkah City. Finally, King Abraha, Jahal, and the rest of the first army successfully retreated. Fortunately, the swarm of birds did not engage the first army so that they could escape from the horrible conditions. From twenty thousand of the first army, the remaining is only one thousand with various wounds, including King Abraha. The mission of destroying the Sacred House of God has failed.
Bakkah City, 26 February 2141/ 26 Februarius 1841, 01:00 pm
Shayba and his people return to see the aftermath. They saw horrible conditions, with a lot of dead bodies with severe burns. They also saw the swarm of bird circles flying counterclockwise above the Sacred House of God for several minutes before returning to the seaside direction. Shayba and his people pray for the God of this miracle because only God will save His Sacred House. God made King Abraha's first army like an empty field of stalks (of which cattle have eaten up the corn)
From the stealth UAV, Admiral Khalid and Sharif Hussein saw this miracle condition in Bakkah City.
"Glory to God! All praise to God! God is Mighty! There are no Deities except God! There is no power, no strength but from God!" Admiral Khalid and Hussein pray to God.
Sono'o, Capital City of Hamyur Kingdom, 03 March 2141/ 03 Martius 1841, 09:00 am
King Abraha got the treatment for his wound. However, because of his severe wound, his condition is critical. Even the healing magic can not heal and regenerate from the burn wound. Some people said this was the divine punishment from God because King Abraha wanted to destroy the Sacred House of God.
"Jahal.. Come here." King Abraha called Jahal.
"Even if we failed to destroy the Sacred House of God, what would the result of the second and third armies be? Did they succeed in obtaining the Holy Body? Alternatively, were they also successful in conquering the Darussalam City?" King Abraha asked Jahal.
Jahal is silent for several minutes.
"Answer me, Jahal, even if that is good or bad news." King Abraha insists that Jahal answer the question.
"Your Majesty, We.. We.. We.. failed in this invasion. The Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate totally annihilated the second and third armies. One survivor from the third army, who was abandoned by the troops because he was sick, saw the dragon corps of Dawlat al-Nur annihilated and captured our army." Jahal responded.
"How? How was our mighty army defeated? I am unsurprised that the third army failed because its main purpose was to hold Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate's main army and approach Yastrib City to obtain the Holy Body. However, how did General Dzu Nuwas fail? Are there special forces from the Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate who ambushed and totally annihilated his army? Dzu Nuwas is a smart General. Even if he gets ambushed, at least he can stop the ambusher with his advanced magic weapons from Imperio Estelar." King Abraha was shocked after hearing Jahal's answer.
Jahal is still silent because he does not know what happened during the second and third armies' battles. He also lost contact and could not detect the wave magic from Amr ibn Luhay and Lātta before the attack of a swarm of birds. He also hears the rumor that the Hamyur Kingdom gets divine punishment because they want to destroy the Sacred House of God and steal the Holy Body.
"So, our mission has failed. My life is meaningless. I hope Imperio Estelar did not give us punishment because we failed to obtain the Holy Body. May God forgive us, and may the Holy Saint still want to call our name before Heaven Gate and let us come to the Kingdom of Heaven." King Abraha finally breathed his last breath.
Finally, the first invasion of the Hamyur Kingdom to the Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate failed. This failure angered Emperor Carlos V de Estelar because of their waste of resources regarding weapons and magic beasts. However, the Holy War between Imperio Estelar and Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate had just begun.
