After the problem with the Moro pirates had been take care of, the Spanish expedition then departs for the Island of Luzon by the secret command of the Sirens with

120 conquistadors and 600 native warriors from Cebu and Panay islands to find the Muslim Kingdom of Tondo and Maynila, which is a vassal state of the Bruneian Empire.

Upon the landing in Maynila Bay, the Spanish and Portuguese conquistadors found that this bay is perfect as a base for trading with Cathay, Nippon and the Spice Islands.

Upon the arrival of the Europeans, the natives of the island had spotted them and quickly return to their capital to report about this. The new king of the Kingdom of Tondo

and Maynila, King Suleiman, son of King Matanda and nephew of Lakan Dula, is worrying about this. Still don't know what to do, his father suggests to keep quite and hope

that these white men will go away by their own will. But the conquistadors didn't, instead, they venture toward inland to seek for the resources and peoples of this island.

And just like when they landed, they're being watch by the natives of this island. As time passed by, the Europeans begin noticed that they're being watched and followed.

So the Sirens order Martin and Juan to take a break for the expedition and set up a camp for an incoming night, attempting to lure the spies out so they can catch them.

At the Spanish's camp...

"Still nothing..."Said Portuguese Guard #1 and he walks to the right direction with musket in his hands.

"Nothing here as well."Said Portuguese Guard #2 and he walks to a pool nearby with crossbow in his hands. The two Spanish Guards arming with spears near the Sirens' tent

are standing to guard their masters' place. Unknowningly, they all are being watched by the spies of the Kingdom of Tondo and Maynila. After spotted the invaders, they quickly

return to the capital and report this to their king. King Suleiman then orders to setup an ambush with a small forces to test how powerful these people are. They later return to

the Europeans' campside and setup a trap. With every ways of escape are surround, the warriors begin the attack on the Europeans and their Visayan allies.

"AMBUSH!"Shouted Spanish Conquistador and the other conquistadors and allies of them quickly get up and have themselves armed.

*BARK! BARK! BARK! BARK!*

All war dogs then got unleashed out and they quickly scatter out to search for the invaders to kill. Some conquistadors quickly mount on horses and run out randomly into

many directions while the arrows and gunshots are surrounding them everywhere. In the middle of the battle, the Sirens awake and take a look at the situation. Found that

it is too dangerous and still have a lot of power intact, they decided to stay hidden in their tent for their own safety. And they were right, because thing goes from bad to worse,

for the natives of this island, of course. In the confusion, the dogs manage to found them and bite some of them, exposing them to the conquistadors. The war dogs keep

exposing the hiding native warriors to their masters to the point of 'take no more' of the native warriors. The forces leader decided to retreat for the life of him and the lives

of his men. With they're retreating, the conquistadors and their allies burst out in happiness because of their victory over the natives.

Later in the morning, at the Castle in Manila...

"Fire-breathing metal sticks?! Are you two sure?"Asked Suleiman

"Very sure, sir."Said Platoon Leader

"I saw everything with my own eyes, Youg Highness. We and the others did."Said Platoon Leader's bodyguard

"So... just because of the fire-breathing weapons, you and your men decided to ran?"Asked Suleiman

"Absolutely not, sir. It's because of the heavy losses."Said Platoon Leader

"How many we lost?"Asked Suleiman

"One in three of my men, sir. They also possesing with the demonic man-killing dogs and some sort large animals for ride."Said Platoon Leader's bodyguard

"Fire-breathing weapons, swords and spears made of steel and demonic animals? Interesting..."Said Suleiman

"Your Highness, our kingdom had faced many opponents before but... I believe that this one is too great."Said Platoon Leader

"With these kind of weapons by their side, we're no match to them."Said Platoon Leader's bodyguard

"So what? Just because they have the greater weapons and more ferocious beasts, we have to surrender just because of this two reasons?!"Asked Suleiman

"Well... I... I..."Said Platoon Leader but unable to explain back because he can't find the right reason.

"You two are dismissed. I want to think this our myself."Said Suleiman as he's rubbing his forehead.

"As you said, Your Majesty."Said Platoon Leader and his bodyguard and they both quickly leave the throne room.

"The rest of you as well."Said Suleiman

"As you said, Your Majesty."Said The Servants and Maids and they all quickly leave the throne room.

"Hmm... one big problem, this is."Said Suleiman as he's thinking of how to deal with the conquistadors from Europe.

Meanwhile, at the Spanish's camp, in the Sirens' tent...

"Finish."Said Martin and he shows the letter to the Sirens.

"Well done. Now, give it to a messenger and send it to the ruler of the natives."Said Adagio

"As you said, ma'am."Said Martin and he walks out from the tent to get the private messenger of him.

"I highly doubt that the King of this island will take this nicely. Despite as a message of friendship,

but I don't think he will accept the rule of King Philip of Spain anytime soon."Said Aria

"That is what we always wanted, Aria. If war sparked, more powers we will get."Said Adagio

"But aren't we already have plenty of territories back in the New World and Europe?"Asked Sonata

"And with the whole Iberian Union thing, we also have the access to India as well."Said Aria

"This is now about population or territories, girls. This is about the powers that we are needing for our own."Said Adagio as she's looking out and seeing that Martin de Goiti is

talking with his private messenger about the message of friendship for the King of Kingdom of Tondo and Maynila. Later, the private messenger departs by horse for the Kingdom

of Tondo and Maynila to deliver the message to its ruler.

Later, at Noon, in the throne room of the Castle of Manila...

"Your Highness!"Said Royal Guard as he's running into the throne room with the message in his hand.

"What is it?"Asked Suleiman

"The White Men had delivered the message."Said Royal Guard and the King quickly grabs it, open it and read it. At first, he is glad that the Spaniards are offering friendship

to him and his people but the exchange for this friendship of them immediately change his mood. For the friendship from the Spaniards, the people of Luzon must recognize

and submit to the sovereignty of the Spanish Empire, much to King Suleiman's dismay.

"*Sigh!*"Sighed Suleiman

"Your Highness... what should we do?"Asked Vizier

"Friendship exchanged by surrender the island, not anytime soon. Submitting to the Bruneian Empire

has already humilimated us enough. No, this time is no submit. There is only war!"Said Suleiman
