Dariel went to the newly founded mine, with 40 minutes, of walking they have arrived at a cave which was found on a mountain, the mountain foot was accessible by vehicles, but climbing is not accessible as instead of a forest the mountain was a jungle. It was 30 minutes of the offroad ride to make it at the foot of the mountain which made Dariel experience backache.Dariel was breathing heavily and said to himself loudly, " I really need to hit the gym, I haven"t done any physical activity, someone please help."
Dariel was given a piggyback ride by one of his bodyguards as they enter the cave. When they entered the cave one of the explorers then pointed out the muddy rocks sticking out of the walls of the cave.
Dariel raises his eyebrows to show that he is questioning the explorer, the explorer then washed the rocks with his water bottle.
Dariel was dumbfounded after seeing a bright yellow color came out of the washed muddy rocks, he immediately yelled, " Is that gold?" The explorer then said, " we don"t know sir."
Dariel understood as the man was not a mineralogist but a scout. Dariel immediately ordered the explorers to bring some samples at the university to study it, Dariel doesn"t have an office that tackles with geology and minerals, so the only one who could determine it was a lab at his built university.
The other explorers started to clean the muddy rocks sticking on the walls and on the ground. But to Dariel"s surprise, they also were able to find stones that have different colors of, red, blue, green, yellow, black, and even transparent which reflects the light making it have some rainbowy color.
Dariel then showed a smile while riding the back of his bodyguard, he thought to himself, [ Looks like I don"t have to some about spending too much of GCS for now. ]

Eric was preparing to leave with his group, 6 HMMWVs or Humvees as popularly called were waiting outside of the INN. Two of the Humvees were a pickup truck type Humvees. The purpose of the 2 was to carry supply and Prince Eric"s group.
The four humvees we"re just normal all we"re equipped with M2 Browning .50 caliber machine gun. Rogen is to ride with Prince Eric, the Special Forces were, of course, the drivers and machine gun operators. The Special Forces were waiting for the people to come out of the INN.
0800 hours, Eric and his group came out the doors of the INN, they were followed by Evan and Rogen. Evan and Rogen were having a conversation with each other while laughing.
One of the members of the Special Forces spoke, " Looks like they had a good time last night."
Evan immediately turned his attention to the Humvees parked. He then spoke to Eric, " Are these the iron carriages you spoke about. They do look heavy, what are these carriages wheels made from?"
Eric scratched his head while replying, " I don"t know what these wheels are made, but the center looks like made of iron."
Evan then asked another question, Are you sure prince these carriages can move even without horses, are they really faster than a single rider horse?"
Evan didn"t saw the Humvees move last night as they were drunk and slept in the INN. He was looking more intensely at the Humvees, he even touches it and knocks it to see if it was made with iron. He was surprised that it was made of iron but it was too thick, he then commented, " It looks like these carriages can"t be easily pulled by horses."
Eric and his group loaded his luggage in the Humvees, they then got in after loading their luggage in the Humvees. All of the special forces also got into their designated vehicles.
Many people formed a crowd at the INN as they"re attention was caught by the vehicles.
As all of the Special Forces got in the drivers started the engines of the Humvees. All the people watching including Evan was surprised at the loud sound of its 6.2-liter V8 engine roaring. To the people who never seen such things before, they thought that the Humvees were tamed powerful beast made of iron. The engine sounded like an angry beast at the ears of people.

The Humvees started to move forward, Evan was the most surprised after knowing the prince was not lying about the carriages. He then rode his horse to follow the convoy to the gates.
The guards were stunned at the site of the Humvees that were getting near them. They thought that some beasts have attacked the town. But they saw the people in green yesterday riding the Humvees, they also their lord escorting them.
The Humvees were stopped at the gate by the town guards. But lord Evan immediately ordered them to let the convoy pa.s.s through. As the gates were opened the convoy continues on their journey. Evan followed the convoy, the soldiers accelerated their speed, seeing this lord Evan also increased the speed of his running horse. He was trying to race the Humvees but after 15 seconds the Humvees were almost impossible to chase by the horse. Evan immediately thought, [ Looks like prince wasn"t lying about those carriages, now what will you do Prince Eric to ensure this alliance will happen. ] Evan turned back and went back to the town.
Eric was surprised at how shaky the Humvees was, but he still didn"t mind it as its shaking was still better than a carriage. It was more comfortable than a carriage even it shook too hard.
Eric immediately thought to himself, [If the alliance will be approved I will ensure the roads of this kingdom will be the first priority. I will improve the roads before trading those other things what good is it even if the goods will arrive late just because of the road, it will also help our people to travel faster making agricultural food products easier to transport.]

Dariel went to the DSAA office, he was inside a room filled with many instruments and a big screen in the center showing a rocket and count down timer. A man greeted Dariel, " Welcome sir Dariel you are quite early, it is still 98 minutes before the satellite is launched into s.p.a.ce. But anyways we are glad to have you here as when we launched the imaging satellite that we currently use to make accurate maps, you were not there as you were in the sea with the navy."
