《EU: Novum Orbis Terrarum》EU visits Alasteria
Advertisement
2 days after the meeting between the Alasterian Captain and the EU Representative, they are now leaving Port Wojenny to regroup back with their fleet as the rest of the fleet sigh in relief that the captain was fine. However, they are to be escorted by a task force comprising the UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, and the Netherlands which will form Task Force Alasteria to transport the EU ambassadors and the policy of gunboat diplomacy being implemented in case the Alasterians try anything funny against the EU fleets. NATO will oversee military operations regarding Task Force Alasteria.
Not only the navy, but The Marines of the UK, France, Italy, and Germany would also partake in Task Force Alasteria with they must guard the Ambassadors on the way to their Royal Capital as they'll bring in Tanks, APCs, IFVs, and other Vehicles to provide an escort for the medieval carriages carrying the EU ambassadors against any bandit attacks.

Gdynia, Poland, Bay of Gdynia, August 14th, 11:00 AM
The Special Warrior's Galleon, well the only one being Angel Kobayashi, is present because she is a translator for the EU while they settled the rest of the Japanese Nationals at Brussels until further notice as further talks on what will become of the Special Warriors were to be held separately out of fear that it might damage EU and Alasterian relations. One captain didn't mind this matter so long as he served the Kingdom by the seas.
"Why are we still in Gdynia Captain? Shouldn't we just go home and send the message to the king?"
The first mate said impatiently
"Patience Drost, They say they will arrive here at exactly 5 minutes."
The captain replied
"If that's what they say to you, I think I'll trust you a little bit."

The first mate replied
5 minutes later
"Oh, It looks like there they are now, and what is with a lot of those giant metal ships?!"
The captain said as he looked at his spyglass and at the same time shocked to see a lot of metal ships on the horizon unaware that a submarine is also within their group.
"What is with a large fleet of theirs?!"
The first mate said in awe to think that they brought more ships just to escort multiple EU ambassadors.
"I think that's how they transport their ambassadors..."
The captain replied.
"Still, Isn't it too large to bring a fleet that size?"
The first mate said in doubt.
"Well, It's their decision, After all, We are on a completely different continent..."
The captain replied.
"I-I see, Anyways, Let's set sail back home and report this to the Royal Capital."
The first mate said
"Alrighty, Sound the horn to sail back home."
The captain said with satisfaction
The horn was sounded by the First Mate signaling every ship of the Alasterian Fleet to move out while Task Force Alasteria followed suit to match the speed of that of the Alasterian Fleet. Though they moved out, The crew of every Alasterian Fleet watched in awe at how large their ships were and admiring the fact that they are made out of steel which is something that they couldn't achieve as the Kingdom of Alasteria.
HMS Queen Elizabeth (R09), Bridge, East Sea, 1:30 PM
The bridge was busy as usual with Officers and the Captain on deck with their binoculars scanning for the enemy with some updating navigation and checking weapon systems to make sure they are okay. Captain John Major is at the binoculars looking at the Galleons and Sloops in the formation that he was in awe to think that they'll be sailing alongside these outdated ships.
"Man, These people are so back in time." The captain commented while looking at his binoculars. "I can imagine a clear technological gap between this Alasteria and the entire EU."
"Well, I can see that sir, To think we are just escorting a bunch of ambassadors and some outdated fleet... Why not just have the ambassadors board their sloppy ships and assign a few Marines to guard these lots instead of sending a task force into unknown lands."
The officer said trying to make a point.
"Yeah, I reckon that, It can't be helped though as the EU is just much cautious about this world than we are."
The captain replied.
"Well, It's their decision after all..."
The officer said as he left the bridge for a potty break.
Port Fluctus, Floreal 14th, 3:00 PM
The port was busy with traders and merchants as ships are going in and out of the harbor. The port was an economic centre of the kingdom as much of the income is mostly on slaves and foreign trade. Speaking of slaves, Most of it was openly done in the docks as wealthy merchants and nobles began purchasing slaves of mostly elven or demi-human races for sexual or work purposes, and that selling continued until a whirling sound is heard in the distance with something attached with a rope to which its a Mastiff MRAP.

"Look, Look, What is that contraption there?"
The curious citizen pointed at the whirly thing as it is doing something
Then, The Westland chopper dropped the vehicle at the docks as it sparked curiosity among the guards and civilians to which they get closer as they saw the chopper about to land at the docks as they distanced themselves until they land. As the citizens and guardsmen drew ever closer, a door opened as many men poured out of the chopper showing 28 Black-clad men in gas masks as they are from SAS with their weird sticks pointing at them as one heard is shouting in an unfamiliar accent "Everyone, Evacuate out of the docks now!" as they don't even understand what they are saying until the whirly things leave as another citizen shouted.
"Everyone look at the bay, What are those enormous things?!"
Another citizen shouted as they saw the Alasterian Fleet while behind them were a large number of iron ships.
"Mommy, Are we going to be invaded?"
One boy said
"It's okay son, They don't seem to do anything..."
She replied.
As the iron ships drew ever closer most of them stopped near the docks as at least two of these iron ships would be docking at the empty docks as it shows Navy Sailors armed to the teeth wearing respirators and goggles out of fear that new diseases exist in this world. The gangway would be deployed as it shows 12 Ambassadors of the EU dropping off the ship escorted by Royal Navy Sailors as Helicopters from France and Germany dropped off at the docks with teams of COS and KSK Operatives dropping off the helicopters all the while the Special Warrior's Galleon would be docked at its respective port.
Several minutes later, SAS, KSK, and COS operatives began crowd control with guards of the city being hesitant to attack these strange people as they saw the respected Captain Bredei was there with one of the Special Warriors and a man wearing the same clothes as one of those black-clad men.
"Major Thomas French of SAS at your service sir!"
He said saluting Bredei.
"Likewise Major, Your people are here to escort the Ambassadors correct?"
Bredei asked.
"Yes sir, We are here to escort the ambassadors until we reached the capital."
Tom replied.
"I see... I'll prepare myself a carriage then..."
He said as he left to ask the guards to prepare a carriage for the capital.
As crowd control of Special Forces operatives is smooth, COMSUBIN Operatives arrive to reinforce SAS, KSK, and COS Operatives as the crowd is getting larger and larger. On the other hand, elements of the 40 and 42 Commando of Royal Marines arrived via Augusta Westland as they are there to enforce security surrounding 2 Daring-class destroyers to prevent anyone from gaining entry while the French 2e DIMa and Italian Lagunari Regiments arrived by Aerospatiale Pumas and Agusta Westlands respectively dropping off these soldiers while another Aerospatiale Puma and Westlands dropping off the VAB APC and Freccia IFVs. This has concerned much of the citizens as hundreds of these weird-looking soldiers looked like they occupied the docks.
20 minutes later
20 minutes had passed as minor incidents so far occurred between the locals and the Task Force with most of them being altercations like trying to start a brawl as many more Marines and vehicles are pouring in from the docks arriving with their weird contraption while Bredei was able to prepare a carriage after lengthy talks with the nobles.
"Alright, I procured several carriages from the ruling family of this city, We should be good to go."
Bredei said.
"That's good to hear, Though, will they allow us, foreign soldiers, to establish a base of operations here?"
The Major replied with concern as he doesn't want the image of these soldiers to be already tarnished.
"They can, As long they don't cause any trouble in the city."
Bredei replied.
"I think we are good now."
The Major replied as he would be boarding the rear of the Mastiff MRAP as the command of the troops in the docks will be under command of Maj. General Erich Braun while Bredei also followed suit.
There, They began to leave as the convoy comprised of 4 MRAPs, 2 IFVs, and 4 Carriages would be heading to the Royal Capital while marines and special operatives in the docks maintained crowd control, establishing HQ tents, and organizing supplies and some soldiers seeing a scene of slavery in front of them with disgust as
Royal Capital, Royal Palace, Kingdom of Alasteria, 3:40 PM
The royal palace was filled with advisors and servants as the King was just on his throne contemplating what to do with the economy as it took a dip further destroying the Alasterian economy to the point that prices of goods are inflating. Advisor Orel seemed concerned about Alasteria's future especially when the young king decided to continue the war until a loud thud was heard as a messenger arrived at the throne hastily.
"Your majesty! Your majesty! I have news from Port Fluctus?!"
The messenger said with urgency as held a paper with a message from Port Fluctus.
"Speak."
The King replied.
"W-well, there are people who are arriving in strange clothing with their strange metal ships" The messenger continued "and the fleet you mobilized returned with no losses as Bredei was there with those strange people."
"Did those strange people attack the port?"
The king asked as he rubbed his chin.
"N-no, Your majesty... They haven't attacked the port... and they said that they saw those strange people setting up tents and weird-looking boxes and an ambassador belonging to these strange people will come here."
The messenger said conveying further report on the strange people
"I see, You may now leave."
The king replied as the messenger ran out of the throne room.
The king then turned to Advisor Orel to which he wanted advice on what to do with these strange people especially
when they are sending ambassadors to here as he knew that the Kingdom needed a trade partner to revitalize the economy.
"Advisor Orel, What shall we do with these strange people?"
The king asked.
"Your majesty, we can just wait until they get here and prepare to talk to them."
Orel replied
"I'll take that advice then, Let us wait for these people to come..."
The king said as he yawned nothing to do aside from managing economic and internal affairs of the country which is troublesome for him especially when they are at war with the Duchy.

How the Stars Turned Red
Announcement as of 05 July 2022: I've been diagnosed with some pretty severe nerve damage in my left arm, rendering me unable to write effectively, and as such this story is on hold until it is healed. I am so sorry, and I promise to get back to writing as soon as possible. In the latter half of the 3rd millennium CE, humanity has spread across the stars, inhabiting close to five-hundred worlds across the Orion Arm. Earth has become irrelevant, a historical has-been. The galactic map is dominated by two mega-factions, both controlling vast amounts of territories either through direct control or through their many allies and treaty signatories. The Kingdom of Aurora is the political and economic hegemon despite consisting of only seven inhabited worlds; their strength lies in the Royal Union, an interstellar commonwealth composing an internal market and a common defence pact. These member worlds are myriad and varied, culturally as well as politically, but they all flock to the same banner. The Independent Systems Alliance, spearheaded by the Republic of Elysium, is the ascendant challenger to Aurora and the Union. A pseudo-federal multi-system polity, the Alliance economy and military is rapidly expanding, but at the cost of effective democratic and meritocratic involvement by its people. However, with two superpowers as this, chafing along a common border, and with a constant clamour of polemics, both sides have become convinced the other is constantly preparing for war and are on the look-out for any perceived weakness in their opponent. The predictable result is a huge arms race and a cold war spreading across the stars, requiring only a spark to set the galaxy aflame. Drawn into this game of high stakes are ordinary men and women, their peaceful lives, hopes, and aspirations swallowed by the vortex of conflict and distrust. This is their story. Cover art by Rhodex Designs (FB). Hope you like long chapters and adjectives. Note: English is not my first language. Another story set in the same universe, written by a good friend
