Chapter 30 : "War Beyond the Portal"
The next day, Kenthelion entered the command chamber where Castellan Ursarkar E. Creed was waiting. As always, Creed stood with an aura of unwavering authority, but this time, there was an air of intense readiness surrounding him.
Kenthelion: "Castellan, is the expeditionary force ready to depart?"
Castellan Ursarkar E. Creed:
"Yes, Your Majesty. The expeditionary troops have been deployed to Portal Two, just as you commanded.
Commissar Sebastian Yarrick and Khan are already waiting for you on the other side.
As requested, I've also assigned Chris Redfield and Carlos Oliveira, along with several new recruits from the Resident Evil units."
Creed handed over a data-slate to Kenthelion.
Creed:
"I will personally lead the war fleet.
As for the defense of Terra Aeterna and the first portal—now designated by Your Majesty as the Resident Evil Sector—I've appointed my right hand, Sergeant Jergen Kell, to oversee planetary security."
He tapped the screen, displaying a detailed list of military deployments.
Creed:
"Here is the complete fleet manifest prepared for the expedition. Please review it, Your Majesty."
Kenthelion scanned through the data, his gaze sharpening with determination.

After reviewing the expedition forces that had been prepared, Kenthelion still felt that the military strength was insufficient to face the threat from the Second Portal Universe.
He immediately called on the system.
"System, show me my remaining War Points."
[War Points: 894,500 – Sufficient for a large-scale fleet purchase.]
Seeing that he had enough points, Kenthelion began making a massive purchase from the system catalog—accessing technology and fleets from the Star Wars universe to strengthen his military.
The Warships from the Star Wars Universe Purchased by Kenthelion through the System:
1. Executor-class Super Star Destroyer – 1 unit (main flagship)

System: "Master, are you sure you want to purchase all of that? You haven't even recruited a commander to lead the Star Wars fleet yet. I recommend you buy Fleet Admiral Wilhuff Yularen first."
Kenthelion: "...Fine, buy him too."
Kenthelion began the massive transaction. Ship by ship, trooper by trooper, he kept clicking confirm.
By the time he finished, Kenthelion suddenly felt... broke.
"All the War Points I've saved up for 50 years... gone, just like that," he mumbled with an empty look. "Painful... but not bleeding."
System: "Master, the fleet has been summoned. They will arrive near the portal in one hour. I suggest you head there immediately—unless, of course, you want your new fleet to randomly start a war with the expedition forces."
Hearing that, Kenthelion grabbed Castellan Ursarkar E. Creed without a word and rushed toward the portal.
Creed, still processing what he just heard, muttered, "A fleet is arriving... just like that? From where?"
After a moment of reflection, he sighed. "Well... maybe this is another miracle of His Will. Just like when I first arrived in this universe."
He quickly composed himself and began issuing orders. Creed informed Yarrick and Khan that an additional fleet would arrive near the portal in one hour, and they should be ready.
