The second it was announced in the news that Aeternum just invented a new type of Machinery, and it would be distributed to the Aeternum Agricultural center, The Agriculture Town. A lot of people perk their ears up, especially for those that were in a positions of power, be it the ruler of a kingdom or just a small territories. In the medieval times, especially for the world of Fantasma. Food is an issues that never being solved before, despite the land is fertile all around, starvation is a common thing. Unlike on earth, Fantasma food cultures and background is rather shallow.The staple foods everywhere were just wheat for the richest and those that were commoners, and then there’s Rice that usually eaten by those that were poor and usually a food for slaves. On top of these 2 big options, the Fantasma people, especially the Central Continent residents. Other type of foods is just bizarre to them, sure they eat meat and vegetable, but they didn’t know that they can eat food items li
Back at the Radio Room, inside of the Angel City Palace the pair of Mother and Daughter were listening to the Radio News calmly, every so often they nodded their heads as they process every single information that were gone on air. Luckily for them, Dukedom of Angela ever since they made contact with Aeternum, the policy that they decided to take is that to always maintains a close friendly relationship with Aeternum, no matter what. Dukedom of Angela is by no means a small nation, they were actually the same sized as Hallerus Kingdom. Even so, they can’t underestimate Aeternum power.In fact, from the start of Aeternum stood by their side since the Tri-Nation War. They have realized Aeternum prowess, and they know that Aeternum is strong, be it their military strength and also their leaders capability. Even Without the army, President Mies Sai existence itself, and the power that he showed during the war, already enough to make any country to take a cautious approach to never get on
Just like in the Angel City Palace, and the Southern small coast state and as well as all the listeners of the Aeternum Radio Broadcast were listening and waiting for the biggest news ever to be told by Quara Raedrim. So does the people of Aeternum, by the time Quara Raedrim slowly speaks regarding the Aeternum current internal policy, by context everyone can anticipated that something big is about to happen in Aeternum. With these everyone is started to lean in and listen to the radio carefully.“[Following the Royal Cabinet nation wide policy on strengthening the national border…Last night, His Highness, President Kaiser Mies Sai…the head of our Nation…has given out a Royal Mandate, for all Aeternums...These declaration were written by His Highness himself, Signed by him and also signed by all 5 Ministers, Last night….]”. (Quara Raedrim)“What?!…a new mandate?, by his highness the president himself?…”. (Old Corg)“Woah…that…is something new…is it related to the last night incident?…
“Hearing him speaks…is truly touching, and also odd at the same time…for a king and a rulers to proudly said that he was one with his people…that is rather…a little bit less royals…”. (Crown Princess Angel Seraphim)“Probably so…normally that is the case…for us and many others that have a long history of royal linage…But for Aeternum…his unique approach…is what made Aeternum the way that it is now, my daughter….President Mies…is probably the only royalty at these era..that is wholeheartedly loved by his people…and his approach to the public sentiment, is also the reason why he was adored by the commoner of Central Continent…his humility, should never be mistaken as a weakness…that is what most people got wrong about him and Aeternum…”. (Queen Duchess Angela Weinstein)Crown Princess Angela Seraphim, couldn’t help but stunned as she dissect the words from her mother. Because what Queen Duchess has said is true, Aeternums unlike any other citizens of any nations in Central Continent, is
Who would’ve thought that the usual lovely morning in Aeternum would actually revealed something so depressing. Never have they thought that the leader that they have been looking up for so long, the person that have created these impossible nation, to actually be looked down as such, from the allies that once asked for help from him and now had actually betrayed him. Everyone in Aeternum knows the truth of the matter, despite the President tried to sugarcoats his words, they know that he and the soldier that fought that day were betrayed by Hallerus Kingdom, their honour were wounded by the uncalled decisions.At the fore front of that humiliating treatment, is the President Mies himself. What were promised at the first coalitions between Aeternum and the New Hallerus Kingdom were not delivered as promised. Instead, Aeternum who’s the one that contributes a lot for the success of the war, were set aside and brushed away, even some of the allies were feigning ignorance of what had hap
For a lot of society in a Kingdom or a nations, most of the time the declarations from it’s ruler were often seen as a merely notes, or a suggestions. Why, because the public, the citizens that lived on that country doesn’t necessarily viewed the people that were in the positions in power as someone that were close to them, or belonged to them. Especially in these medieval era, and on top of that these medieval fantasy era, where it was almost like living in a hostile environment no matter where. It was considered normal, for those that were in power to misuse them, oppressed those that were under them or below them. And the current society accept that it was a normal behaviour.Over the time, the act of being under oppression is rather became a normal thing. And often time, when there were those that were in power do the right thing, and used their power to really act as a true leader and help those that were under him to be in a good environment and giving those that were long oppre
Everyone in Aeternum, were listening intently to the Presidential address on the morning news. After all, these very address is something that will marked one of the greatest moment, is Aeternum history and also perhaps the Central Continent. To the listeners outside of Aeternums, every single person that were listening were also anxious about what will come up next. In reality, sure, Aeternum is a small country, but to say that they are weak. That isn’t something that many would foolishly believed. After all, these is the country that coming out of nowhere and fought stampede of undead in it’s first appearance.Then culled a long civil war, in Alemia Kingdom is a sweeping victory, then formed the first successful multinational alliance, then participate in the recent Hallerus Kingdom war, and won that war in a single month, when it was originally expected to be prolonged for years. Aeternums were a nation, that many mercenaries and adventures no matter how famous or menacing they wer
To start the the introductions to the Aeternum mega domestic development, plans, a lot of things were being said, by the President In a rapid fire succession. Which not a single person that listened to the broadcast want to even leaver their seat, as they afraid that they would miss something important. All that the President said were seemingly so unobtainable, but as he proceeds with his words, one by one, people started to be able to discerned whether what the president said is just a rambling nonsense or a visions that can be turned into a reality. To the people outside of Aeternum, they were still trying to guess whether it can be done, but for Aeternums they already know that the vision can be achieved.“[Starting from today…Project Aeternum Titan Thunderbolt, will be started…by reconstructing our Capital City…New City…will be enlarged, beautify and also be remodeled to suit it’s name as our country centers…..All the deconstructed structures that has been turned into an empty lo
“You’re telling me this is the actual state of their forces?”Selie nodded, her expression unwavering.“Yes, sir. I confirmed all the information personally during the mission, and cross-referenced it with Count Dracul’s intelligence. The data is accurate.”The absurdity of the report was almost too much to process. According to the findings, the Crown Prince Amaris and Queen Romella’s forces were in complete disarray. Each side could barely muster 10,000 combat-ready soldiers, and those were in poor condition. Their leadership was non-existent, their strategies laughable, and their morale utterly shattered.“It’s like they’re begging to lose,”I said incredulously, setting the report down.“How did they even make it this far?”“They haven’t, sir,”Selie replied with a faint smirk.“They’re just floundering, hoping to outlast one another. Both sides are puppets, controlled by the nobles and vassals around them who are more interested in their own power plays than the war itself.”I le
“Summarize the troop positions and supply lines,”Selie instructed Maiden Aria, who was already pouring over a detailed map of the city.“Yes, ma’am,”Aria replied, her voice calm and professional. Meanwhile, Maiden Liana compiled a list of key figures within the enemy forces, cross-referencing them with the profiles provided by Count Dracul.“Do we need to wake the President?”Victoria asked as she filed her portion of the report. Selie shook her head.“No. The situation doesn’t warrant it. This is less of a war and more of a clean-up operation. The enemy forces are barely worth the effort. We’ll brief him in the morning.”The Maidens nodded in agreement, their movements efficient and precise as they continued organizing the information. Selie couldn’t help but feel a mix of satisfaction and disappointment as she reviewed the compiled intelligence. The state of the Crown Prince Amaris and Queen Romella’s forces was abysmal.“The Crown Prince’s forces are exhausted, demoralized, and p
“The Crown Prince’s forces are as undisciplined and chaotic as this file suggests?”Count Dracul, standing stiffly at attention, nodded firmly.“Yes, Lt. Colonel. They are barely a shadow of what they once were. Their troops are underfed, underpaid, and completely demoralized. The noble’s squabble among themselves, and neither the Crown Prince nor the Queen has the wit or leadership to unite them.”Selie raised an eyebrow, leaning back in her chair with an expression that was equal parts disbelief and disdain.“So, they’re little more than children playing at war,” she muttered under her breath, her sharp tone betraying her disappointment. “It’s almost laughable. If this is what they call leadership, it’s a wonder they lasted this long.”For the next few minutes, Selie cross-referenced every point in the dossier with Count Dracul. Every troop position, every supply depot, and every weakness listed was corroborated. Dracul’s responses were quick and precise, each answer adding weight t
“Count Dracul,”she began, her voice firm and unwavering,“I trust you’ve gathered the intelligence we requested. I need a full assessment of the current situation in the capital—numbers, key locations, morale, everything.”Count Dracul inclined his head and moved to his desk, retrieving a thick file of documents.“Of course, Lt. Colonel. I anticipated your arrival and prepared these reports. They contain detailed accounts of the enemy’s troop movements, the state of the Queen’s court, and the overall morale of the capital’s populace.”He handed the file to Selie with both hands, his gaze flickering nervously as she began flipping through the pages with meticulous precision. The room fell silent save for the sound of rustling paper. Dracul, despite his composed exterior, felt a bead of sweat trail down his temple. Selie’s reputation for strictness was well-known, and he could only hope his work met her exacting standards.Selie’s sharp eyes scanned the documents, her brow furrowing sl
“You know, it’s said that the Maidens could topple an entire city if they wanted. I mean, we’re special forces, but compared to them…”He trailed off, shaking his head. Lionel smirked, glancing back at the young sergeant.“Compared to them? We’re kids playing soldier, Miles. But remember this: tonight, we’re part of something bigger. So, keep your head in the game.”After an hour of steady driving, the convoy finally came to a halt roughly one kilometer east of Alemia Capital City. The soldiers disembarked quietly, their boots crunching softly against the dirt. The chilly night air bit at their skin, but it wasn’t the cold that sent shivers down their spines—it was the sight before them.In the faint moonlight, Alemia Capital City loomed in the distance like a wounded giant. Its once-mighty walls were battered and crumbling, scars of relentless conflict etched into its stone.Surrounding the city, like a cancerous growth, were countless makeshift camps—hundreds of thousands of tents s
“The Maidens will lead the mission. Their unmatched skills, combined with the support of the Special Forces under Captain Lionel, will ensure success. This is a surgical operation—precision and stealth are paramount.”Lionel chuckled softly, leaning back in his chair.“Well, I can’t say I’m surprised. Watching the Maidens in action is a rare privilege, and I’d be lying if I said my team wasn’t looking forward to it.”Selie smirked.“Captain, try not to get too distracted. We still need you to keep up.”Lionel held up his hands in mock surrender.“Noted, Colonel. I’ll make sure my team stays focused.”I stood from my chair, signaling the seriousness of the mission.“Selie, you and the Maidens will infiltrate the capital. Your objectives are threefold: map the city’s fortifications, gather intelligence on troop deployments, and locate key targets for our final assault. Captain Lionel, your team will support from a distance—ensuring extraction points are secure and ready for the operatio
With that thought, I turned my focus back to the map, ready to guide my army toward the final battle. On the third day of our march, we finally reached the designated halting point in the Eastern Region. Here, our army was to temporarily stop and wait for the other fronts to arrive at their own respective rendezvous points.Among the five regions, my Eastern troops were the second to reach their location. The Western Troops, led by General Lucas and Governor Duke Oliver Gust, had been the first to arrive, thanks to their unopposed journey. As my men began constructing the temporary forward operating base (FOB), a mix of activity unfolded. Engineers worked quickly to establish defensive perimeters, while soldiers erected tents and prepared their rations. Rest rotations were enforced so the troops could rejuvenate themselves for the final phase of the campaign."We’re nearing the end. Every effort now is one step closer to liberating the entire Alemia Nation. Let the troops rest; soon,
"When this war ends, Alemia will rise again, stronger and united under Aeternum. And this march—this slow, deliberate march—is the first step toward that brighter future."With that thought, I turned back toward the command post, ready to oversee the next phase of our campaign.Our troops pressed forward with relentless efficiency, their pace never faltering despite the numerous side missions I tasked to the detachment units. Each liberated settlement followed the same protocol: Capture of Lords: Every noble or lord who held sway over the settlement was immediately captured and sent to Georgina City for judgment. These lords, guilty of oppressing their people, represented the old regime—a relic that had no place in the new Alemia under Aeternum rule. Establishing Order: The local guards were disbanded, their weapons confiscated, and a new administration was set up. Four of my trusted soldiers were stationed in each settlement to oversee governance, ensuring law, order, and security we
"Commander Bravo reports success in the town of Greenwill. Hostile resistance neutralized. The population is secure and stabilized.""Detachment Echo has liberated the village of Windcliff. No casualties, local leaders have pledged loyalty to Aeternum governance."Each report filled me with pride. These were not just military victories but also symbolic steps toward a better future for Alemia. As I gazed out of the vehicle window, watching the endless column of soldiers, vehicles, and supplies move steadily forward, I reflected on the strategy.There was no need to rush. Our overwhelming superiority meant that time was on our side. The final battle would come soon enough. For now, every slow step forward was an opportunity to stabilize and rebuild, ensuring that no shadow of rebellion could remain."Let others see this not just as a march to war but as a march of progress. Each town secured, each village stabilized is another foundation stone for the future of Alemia under Aeternum’s
