Kingdom of Fenn, 20km away from coast of Nishinomiyako,

The imperial army's dragon carriers were arranged in an perfect line, To facilitate Wyvern lords , the carriers were twice as large as of Regular ironclads, they were able to build these ships, as the empire advanced it's shipbuilding technology in secret. Vice admiral Armos nodded contently to himself as he watched the carriers, their very presence giving off an sense of might.

"Dragon knight captain !" he said the main next to him

"yes"

"The imperial army is strong, isn't it ?"

"Of course"

"Why do you think we are strong ?"

"Because of our comprehensive strength ?"

"Yes absolutely ! however the reason to our pride is not due to ironclads, but the mighty dragon carriers, it outranges any gun known to us, an invaluable asset, dominating any battles it fought, with it's brave naval aviators no one can stand against us ! Captain, total control of air means total control of the land and the sea !"

"Yes, sir what an enlightened perspective !!"

"The empire is invincible due to it's dragon carriers, as long as they exist, it helps the army to crush barbarians and bring glory for our empire, to rule supreme ! Leading that fleet is our newest most advanced ironclad, Mille ! an larger Dios III , such magnificence and beauty !|

As Armos looked at his fleet, he noticed 20 'objects' diving for his fleet,

"what is that ???!!!" yelled Armos

As the weird objects dived towards them, it emitted an bone chilling noise, and the crews were struck with panic, then something impossible, at 800m they pulled up in an impossible angle, Armos was confused,

"What was that ? some form of terror attack ?" asked Armos

Hyuuuuu....

As he looked where the weird noises came from, each of the carriers exploded in rapid succession into massive fireballs, the escort frigates and corvettes were vaporized by it, their dragon carriers had either been sunk or still damaged, 8 out of 20 ships were sunk, the rest had damage to varying degrees,

"Get the wyvern lords and shoot them down now !" yelled Armos

"Sir, they are coming back !!!!!"

"what already ?!!! how can they be this quick ?"

As if on queue the flying objects attacked them, this time when it hit them, it was an killing blow, the ships were mere wrecks, and they water was filled with an sea of lifeboats, Armos died in his flagship when an 100kg bomb directly exploded in the ammunition storage detonating it and killing everyone on board. In his final moments,he still wondered who was this enemy who destroyed his fleet in 5 minutes.

Just like that, German naval Aviation, in one perfect swoop, robbed Parlpadia of all their airpower near Fenn.

Same time, Nishinomiyako,

Cius was both angry and scared,  just mere minutes ago, 20 flying objects attacked his dragon carriers and sunk them, in 8 times and sunk all ironclad, he already lost 64 ships and 15,000 men, something soul crushing for Cius to see, he only had 260 ships left. Something worse happened, he saw massive explosions from the distance, from where his carriers were sailing, he used an telescope to see, and shocked at the carnage, all of his carriers were sunk or sinking , men fighting for their lives, an sea of life boats, and oil slicked ocean, now he was scared, he, lost 84 ships in total by now, and 15,000 elite infantry, taking up years to replace, he contemplated, what to do next,

Those sounds returned...

The Jericho sirens...

For 1 hour, the Germans taunted the imperial forces by blasting their sirens, demoralizing many, and strafed them with machine guns, killing hundreds, they taunted the imperial forces to new levels, many men shivered and some deserted immediately, 

"They are taunting us !!!!" said cius in anger

Cius immediately thought of an worst case scenario, total annihilation, his forces were already established an base in the town, and his forces on the march towards Amanoki, over 40 steam battleships and cruisers were deployed in case something goes wrong, things were already in motion, for the emperor watched the war in close attention, even if they faced an strong enemy, they cannot absolutely retreat, but what the hell was he fighting  ? they clearly had an superior enemy, with scary weapons and likely very advanced than his forces,

Cius suddenly remembered the reports of the oversight army, and which it got laughed at, further, he read the report on the Battle of Leiforia, on how an giant warship leveled an entire city, and wiped out an entire navy, composed of elite Mechanical-Magic Battleships, an very radical combination of warship technology, an state of the art ships, could be this foe hail from the Gra Valkas Empire? he knew they were strong, but to face them ? no, he cannot do it, as he shivered in fear.

On The seas, 70km away,

Battleship SMS Bismarck, alongside Scharnhorst, Odin and the German 2nd advance force's Naval squadron of 5 heavy cruisers, 2 light cruisers and 10 destroyers, and an carrier,  prowled in the ocean, Bismarck leading them, alongside them is the gargantuan Austro-Hungarian fleet, Consisting of 5 battleships, 3 battlecruisers, 7 heavy cruisers, 4 light cruisers, and 20 destroyers, more than the German fleet itself, alongside that they brought 3 escort carriers as well, for they intend to unleash fury on the empire,

Admiral Gunther Lutjens looked at the cam sea, for he knows, the war is already won,

"Albert!"

"yes sir!"

"Tell me, how far is their range of their cannons ?" asked the admiral

"A-About 6km I guess, admiral !"

"I see......Tell me Albert, what is hate in war ?" asked The admiral

"sir ??" 

"See, the enemy encompasses all things, we as civilized people despise, slavery ! war crimes ! Unprofessional military conduct ! I mean it, The Prussian Army is superior to this pathetic excuse of an empire's army of bandits so barbaric, even the Bolshevik rebels won't be this cruel, as an Officer of the Kaiserliche Marine, we stand above the enemy, till those brutes killed our innocent people with no remorse, How Can I allow my own people to be killed by savage, simply unacceptable, I want Vengeance for them, Albert what kind of war we are fighting again ?" asked Lutjens

"A..an war of annihilation !"

"Perfection ! We shall not show the enemy no excuse, no mercy at all ! till all their land is seized, every city occupied we shall not rest ! If they don't surrender, I wish to personally Order the bombardment of their Capital, what was it again ? Ahh...yes Esthirant to ash ! I still feel guilty on the approaching deaths of possibly millions of innocent people, but we had our orders,  if those fuckers wanted an war, an war they shall get ! An war of annihilation at that !" he said then continued "I want all our battleships and heavy cruisers in an perfect line to bombard them, Can't imagine what those Trigger Happy Austrians will do , but for the better"

Albert looked at the Admiral, they are going to massacre millions, making him sick, but the burning image of his people killed, made him feel anger.

"Yes Admiral!"
