The Karak

Two weeks ago, when Leningrad was under attack by the dragon knight, the Soviets launched an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile that carried a nuclear warhead equivalent to 20 million tons of TNT.

The explosion energy that was brought by the Nuke was not only felt by the God of Death in Nazg, and also felt by the King and his chancellor of the Karak. 

The King of Karak, Aric, immediately ordered all of his wizards to gather at the capital of the Kingdom, Karakum.

Asking them to do whatever they can to investigate what has happened and where the energy came from.

All his wizards, start to shake their magic wand and chant a spell.

They close their eyes, preparing to check what has happened.

But suddenly, one of the wizards vomited blood, followed by one and then another one. In less than ten seconds, everyone who was casting spells vomited blood and fainted on the ground.

One of them who has the strongest mana, before fainted, said weakly,

"..... North ... Nazg ..... Dragon knight ... died..."

No one knows what the wizard trying to say.

Just at that moment, Aric has received the news that some mysterious energy appears in the North Sea. 

Thinking of what the Wizard said, he immediately understood there must be something happening in the North, so he formed an adventure team.

Soon, a ship that included a few special personnel and mainly mercenaries of the kingdom was organized and moved to the north.

Serina was one of the special personnel that was sent.

Under the lead of Captain Marcus Turner, who used to be a commander on the battlefield, the ship departed from the port.

In the first few days of their journey, they have been going well, nothing has been discovered.

Until they reach 300km south of Sevastopol.

One of them can see through the clouds and discover what is happening high in the sky.

"What ... the ... hell ... is ... that?"

People who are beside him listen to what he says and ask him curiously about what he sees.

He then reacts and tells.

"I saw two big birds, well, I am not sure whether it is or not, as they are made of metal, flying high in the sky, and I did not see anyone riding above them."

What he said shocked everyone, seems like they have reached an undiscovered area.

Yet, someone who has been here has also been suspicious about what he said.

"Are you sure? I have been here many times, sometimes with someone like you, none of them have seen what you said."

"Yes, I promise what I saw was true."

But Captain Marcus quickly stood out and said,

"Enough everyone, remember what is our mission, seems like what the king said was through, prepare for battle, and Turner, send this information back."

Turner, the guy who can transport intel from thousands of kilometers away from the country.

What the guys saw, were two MIG-25 that were doing their patrolling mission, but seems like they did not spot this ship.

The ship then continues to go and is finally discovered by the Soviet Red Navy submarine.

Both the submarine and ship spotted each other together.

A mercenary, equipped with the common magical gear of Karak, employs their magical tools while traversing the sea to detect any large objects beneath the water, ensuring preparedness against a sudden sea monster attack, suddenly shouted.

"Captain, there is something under us in the sea!"

"Is it the sea monster?"

"I am not sure captain, the sound it comes out does not sound like any kind of sea monster we have met."

With the help of the magical gear, they can hear the sonar sound that has been made by the submarine.

Marcus thinks for a while and says,

"Stay calm, and do as usual."

At the same time, under the sea, in a Delta III-class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine,

"Comrade Captain, we have spotted a weird ship on the sea. We suspect that it is the ship from this world, should we sink it?"

"Hold your fire, report back to the base, they will come out with a decision, and we will monitor it until further order."

"Affirmative."

The report of the ship was quickly sent to the commander of the Black Sea fleet, thinking of the general secretary's order, he thought this might be an opportunity to build a diplomatic relationship with the local country.

He quickly asks his Chief of Staff and the officer from the local Communist Party to be prepared and also report it to Moscow for the next order.

Some surface ships also received orders to move towards the Isekai ship.

Marcus and his ship continue to travel.

And then suddenly, two planes flew overhead and circled over them.

He stops his subordinates who try to shoot down them, and order to have communication with them through flag, even though he has no idea whether they can understand or not.

From his view, these metal birds fly rationally, which he thinks that they might be communicating.

Soon, a shock again happened on the ship.

They saw a few big metal monsters without sailing on the sea any sense of magic and sail.

"What the hell is that? Is this even real?"

Similar questions were asked on the ship.

After that, they see a white dot rise from the ship and head to them.

"Hold your fire, seems like they also wanted to talk to us."

Marcus has no guarantee about that, but think of the plane above them, he is still given such an order.

Not long later, those white dots came near and hovered above them.

The ever-curious them attempts to communicate with the metallic wonder, casting a spell of understanding and observation

However, the KA-25 remains silent and enigmatic.

One of the metal ships, that carries KA-25, is the Moskva-class helicopter carrier.

The captain of the ship was also shocked about them.

"How can a wooden ship have a similar speed to us?"

As the Moskva class and the magic ship came closer, both of the captains had their first met.

A small ship is then released from the Moskva class, bringing the captain of it to board Marcus's ship.

Tenses and nervousness rise on both the Soviet Navy and Karak adventure teams.

Luckily, in the first meeting, nothing happened.

Under the guidance of the Soviet Navy, Marcus and his ship successfully entered the port of Sevastopol.

"A land here? I remember there is no land here?"

Serina has also been here a few times and was shocked about the new land.

Looking at all the war machines and soldiers in the port, they were more and more shocked.

They were then brought to see the Commander and Chief of Staff of the Black Sea fleet, together with the First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Crimean.

The meeting was not long, as an order was sent from Moscow.

Bring these people to Moscow, by train, not plane.

Even though they do not understand the order, yet, they still send Marcus and his subordinates.

However, for Brezhnev and the central committee in Moscow, without knowing the power of this Human Kingdom, they decided to show off the Power of the Soviet Union to them first.

They ordered all the stations on the line, to gather a certain number of troops and equipment to load on the tank, to let these Isekai people see.

Of course, Brezhnev will not know these Isekai people even if they do not show off, the USSR does not have any idea of the existence of magic.

Marcus's subordinates have started to collect intel about this country since they landed at the port giving him a bunch of horrifying statistics.

"Such a surprise that such a strong country does not have any magic."

His subordinates only use easy magic, then can know basic information, including that this country has come from another world.

However, some information was not able to check or know, for example, the nuclear weapon, due to some kind of power outside of Magic.

If Serina has heard what this guy said, she will say what is the power.

"A country that has 5 million of a regular army, hundred thousand of various vehicle and armored vehicle, fifty thousand of what they called as a tank, which I will assume it as our chariots."

"And more than ten thousand of planes and helicopters, which I will then assume is equal to our flying knight. The largest country in the original world, covering a vast land area of approximately 22.4 million square kilometers with 260 million people."

"Horrible, send all this information back to Karakum."

On the train, his subordinates report all this information to Marcus, they have checked, and no magic will be able to record their conversation.

He then closes his eyes, trying not to think about such a thing about this country that is called the USSR.

There will be no single country in Astalia able to fight against USSR by itself.

However, they will not know, that even though the USSR did not have any magic that could record their conversation, they had technology, such as listening devices installed in the train.

The KGB intelligence officers who were eavesdropping were all shocked by their magic.
