Whilst in Aeternum the nation were moving on it’s own progressive path without any hindrance, in Alemia Nation the situation weren’t as calm and serene as the other parts of the Continent. Everyday, there were always a report of skirmishes all over the Central region of Alemia Nation. Every single day passes the casualty rates of the people steadily raises, and surprisingly despite the people already spoken out that they were fed up with the conflict, the nobles heeds no warning at all, and still insisted of fighting. As a result, the entire country were in disarray, and that includes the Eastern Alemia Nation Region, the Dukedom of Gust.At the Western border of the Gust Territory, at the Sunset Fortress, Duke Oliver Gust were standing on top of the Fortress Wall, looking over the many refugees that made their way, haggardly and slowly entering the fortress gate, running away from the central region away from the intensified conflicts. His aged face, and solemn gaze, displayed just
Right now the entire situations is downright gloomy and depressing already, after all, a lot of things that happened that brought them grief is the kind of stuff that they can’t really do anything about. They cannot stopped the war because they were the only side that were against the war. Thus as the 2 of the middle aged guy were gazing at the sunset and the trails of people that were moving slowly on the roads entering the fortress. Viscount Crisp tried to lighten up the mood by talking about their cheerful topic, and that is the combination of their children stories and Aeternum.“That’s right..my son said.. the Student Council actually were given chances to attend the Aeternum Cabinet meeting…that is something amazing, Milord..have the Young lady shared anything about that?..”.(Viscount Crisp)“Oh..I heard about that…Francesca called be and talked about it a few days ago…these days, she told me, that all the 3rd year Student’s are currently doing their practical period…even she he
Just as Duke Oliver Gust and Viscount Crisp were just taking their sweet time to speaks about something that both of them finds relaxing. Both of them were startled by the sudden intrusion of a third party, Duke and the Viscount duo were known as Tier 3 Knight, that has a lot of experience in combat and wars, and they naturally already got used to some dark stuff, especially assassins, at these moment, when their conversation were interrupted, Both of them only realized the presence of Senior Agent Mephis just after he was, by himself revealed his aura to them. Certainly they both didn’t know just how long has it been for him to stand inside the wall tower observing them.“My request were approved?…and what request is that, that I asked for someone like you to appeared from the shadow like these?..”.(Duke Oliver Gust)Being a noble of another nation and also a subject of Alemia Nation recent attentions. Duke Oliver Gust naturally has to be careful about how he approach somethings, aft
Currently in Alemia Nation, where the nation were in the peak of war, The eastern region decision is a factor that can easily toppled the whole situations, should he decided to support one faction, the war can already find it’s victors. But as everyone knows the duke has been showing strong decision and reluctance to not support anyone in the war, and openly stated that the war should be ceased at once. So, to the 2 factions, he was already being seen as a bigger threat that can doomed them in any possible way. And already decided that either they should succumb him no matter what, or if not, then it was better for him and the entire Ducal family to die, so that they can use the Duke territory and power for themselves.Even Duke Oliver himself already aware of the facts that they Queen and Crown Prince factions already started to change their approach when they come for him. What at first was a warm inquiry has now started to getting rather obnoxious and these days it has been gotten
Rather than keeping his excitement in one place, Duke Oliver Gust is now certain that he should take up these invitations from Aeternum seriously. So instead of still staying at the fortress, he headed back home immediately, leaving Viscount Crisp took command of the fortress and helped the refugees coming into the territory, while he and Senior Agent Mephis head back to the Gust City, the capital of the Eastern Alemia Region. To Duke Oliver his excitement were bubbling up already, because he can’t wait to see the Aeternum leadership before him, he cannot help but imagining that perhaps more good things come to fruition thanks to these very occasion.“The City is quite remarkable, Duke Oliver…I can see that you are implementing a lot of Aeternum influence in these city….Amongst many of the cities all over the continent that I went to…these city is perhaps has the most vibrant and lively atmosphere, comparable to New City in Aeternum…the people truly loved these place..I can see it in
As soon as the Duke and Senior Agent Mephis separated away, one were send to wait and another went to get prepared. The Entire mansion were thrown into a frenzy, Duke Oliver went straight to wash himself up whilst order his head butler to deliver his words to his 2 wives and his 2 young sons to prepared for a long journey. The Duke didn’t said much, of anything other than a fact that he was in a great hurry. Matching his urgency tone, all the staff went into work, after all, if their master were in that much of situation, them the subjects should be more worried than that. By the time, Duke Oliver Gust got out of his Bathing time, and dressing up, both of his wives entered his chamber, anxiously asked.“Your Grace..what is happening?…why are we in such a hurry?…is the Queen or the prince are attacking us?..”.(Duchess Cassi Gust)“Yeah, Your Grace..what is going on?…surely the situations isn’t that bad..right?..”.(Countess Sarra Gust)Usually for a Noble family, especially those that w
To a lot of people in the Central Continent, in fact in the world of Fantasma. Aeternum style of life is really different, and when it comes to a high class treatment, anyone that got the taste of those kind of life especially to the natives of these world they rarely wanted to come back to the way they were before. The entire Gust family, naturally were not that alien to the Aeternum lifestyles, after all, they themselves right after Aeternum were established and opened to the public, they always headed to the New City for leisure. And they thoroughly enjoyed their times there, enjoying the modern rich lifestyles.They even have Mansion of their own in the New City that they always stayed at when they went to New City. That is just how they loved visiting Aeternum and always dreamed to become an Aeternum themselves. Certainly they also have rode the Aeternum Cars before, and among Aeternums, and the nobles either in Aeternum or outside, they always dreamed of riding that Aeternum Gov
As the Eastern Duke of Alemia Nation is currently on his way headed towards The Nirewin City of Kingdom of Nirewin, that is an ally nation of Aeternum. Meanwhile in the Alemia City, the pressure of the Civil war are already mounting on both factions. These wars rather than anyone gaining anything at all, both side were just continuously losing everything they had slowly over the time. In fact, the Southern Region and also the Eastern Region by now already started to see a clear receding numbers of their citizen and many fled towards the Aeternum border walls or to the peaceful Eastern Region.Even their soldiers continue to drops as every single days passes. At the Alemia Palace, at the Throne room, all the Queen vassal were grouped together as they often does in the war time. Currently for both side the pressure were big for them and everyone seeks to end these war by winning them. One of the major life changing factor is Duke Oliver Gust who has been against the war from the start u
BOOM!The object slammed into the city gates, unleashing a deafening explosion that shook the ground beneath their feet. The shockwave rippled outward, sending soldiers sprawling and shattering windows across the city. Dust and debris filled the air as the once-mighty gates crumbled into a smoking ruin.Amariss stumbled backward, his sword clattering to the ground as he stared in horror at the devastation.“What… what is this? What is happening?!”he stammered, his voice trembling with fear. In the distance, the Aeternum Navy Fleet stood poised, their warships bristling with firepower. The single missile had been a warning—a demonstration of Aeternum’s overwhelming strength and precision. And it had achieved its purpose.The soldiers of Amariss’s army, already demoralized and terrified, broke ranks almost immediately. Dropping their weapons and abandoning their positions, they fled in every direction, their panic spreading like wildfire.“Come back! COME BACK, YOU COWARDS!”Amariss sc
“The reports… the soldiers… they are abandoning their posts. Even the Prime Minister has—”“I know,”she interrupted, her voice calm but laced with resignation.“Let them go. They were never loyal to me to begin with.”Her Royal Knight Commander, Lucas Perdue, entered moments later, his face grim.“Your Majesty, the palace remains secure for now, but the city is unraveling. The people are heeding Aeternum’s call, not ours. And the army… they’ve lost the will to fight.”The Queen closed her eyes, taking a deep breath.“Lucas, prepare for the inevitable. Lock down the palace. Imprison those who remain loyal to the Prime Minister and the other schemers. And… prepare for my surrender to Aeternum.”Lucas hesitated, his hand tightening on the hilt of his sword.“Are you certain, Your Majesty? To surrender is to admit—”“To admit that we’ve failed,”she finished for him.“Yes. Because we have failed. And the longer we cling to this throne, the more my people suffer….it is of no point to figh
Back at the frontlines, as soldiers readied themselves for the final march, they were moved by the reports circulating from command. The evidence of Alemia’s corruption and the suffering of its people only solidified their resolve. Around campfires and inside armored vehicles, soldiers shared their thoughts openly.One young soldier spoke with determination:“It’s not just about winning the war. We’re here to do something right—to fix what’s broken.”Another nodded, clenching her rifle tightly.“The President and the Vice President have never hidden anything from us. They’ve told us why we’re fighting, and that’s why I’d follow them anywhere.”Even the most hardened veterans were touched by the weight of their mission. One grizzled commander, looking out at the stars, muttered to himself,“We’re not just soldiers. We’re builders of a better future.”As the evening turned to night, a quiet anticipation spread across Aeternum and the liberated regions of Alemia. Farmers working their fi
“[To the citizens of Aeternum, know this: our soldiers, our leaders, and our government are united in our cause. We fight not for conquest, but for liberation. We fight to bring light to a land that has known darkness for far too long. And we fight because we believe in a better future for all.]”As she reached the conclusion of her address, Elijah’s voice softened slightly, carrying a note of hope.“[Let us move forward together—with courage, with resolve, and with the knowledge that we are on the side of justice. Aeternum stands as a beacon of hope, and together, we will bring peace to Alemia Nation. Thank you, and may we all stay safe in the hours ahead.]”The response to Elijah’s address was immediate and palpable. Across Aeternum, workers paused their tasks, families huddled around radios, and soldiers standing in the encampments felt a renewed sense of purpose.In one bustling Aeternum farm, a group of farmers stood together, their hands still muddy from the fields, listening in
“This is why I serve Aeternum,”he said.“Our government doesn’t hide anything from us. The President shows us the truth—the corruption, the suffering, everything. We’re not here for conquest. We’re here to fix what’s broken.”A sergeant nearby nodded.“And the Crown Prince? He deserves everything that’s coming to him. My wife is from Alemia, and she told me stories of what that man has done—taxing people into starvation while throwing lavish parties. It’s disgusting.”Another soldier, a former immigrant from Alemia, added,“It’s not just him. The entire royal family let this happen. But the fact that the President is willing to spare Queen Romella and preserve a part of Alemia’s heritage? That shows we’re not here to destroy—we’re here to rebuild.”Even the officers echoed similar sentiments. In the command tent, a group of captains discussed the decision over steaming mugs of coffee.“This is why we’re different,” one of them said.“Other nations would have razed Alemia to the groun
“What do you want to do, Your Excellency? Should we accept her surrender?”I exhaled slowly, feeling the weight of the decision before me.“We’ll accept it,”I said finally.“But under our terms. She will relinquish everything, including her dignity as a monarch. She’ll serve as an example of what happens when leaders fail their people. Let her live—but only just enough to remind everyone of the cost of her failures.”Elijah’s tone softened, a hint of respect in her voice.“Understood. I’ll finalize the arrangements and have her surrender publicly acknowledged at the right time. This war is finally nearing its end.”I sat back in my chair, my gaze drifting to the reports strewn across my desk. The Alemia Nation, a land plagued by incompetence and corruption, was finally crumbling. Its remnants would soon be swept away by the strength and unity of Aeternum. In the background, the low hum of Dragon One’s engines served as a steady reminder of the impending victory. The final steps were
“It’s over,”she announced, her voice echoing through the chamber.“The Alemia Royalty Faction has fallen—quietly, and without resistance.”The officers in the war room erupted into a flurry of activity, relaying the monumental news across Aeternum’s military network. But amidst the chaos, there was an undercurrent of somber resolve.“This is why Aeternum must lead,”one officer murmured to his colleague.“Their so-called queen waited until the very end to take responsibility—and only when her back was against the wall.”Another officer nodded.“At least she’s surrendering. But the damage is done. Her people have suffered for far too long. It’s time we clean up this mess.”Elijah listened to their hushed conversations; her expression unreadable. Though her demeanor was calm and composed, a storm of thoughts churned within her mind. She knew that this surrender, while significant, was only the beginning. The real work—rebuilding Alemia and bringing it under Aeternum’s banner—was yet to
In the heart of New City, the nerve center of Aeternum’s military operations—The Black House War Room—was abuzz with activity. Communication officers called out coordinates, screens lit up with battlefield updates, and every second was accounted for as the final stages of the Alemia campaign unfolded. Vice President Elijah, seated on the imposing Command Throne, presided over it all with her usual steely composure.But then, a phone rang—a call not routed through the usual secure military channels. The sudden interruption brought the entire room to a halt. All eyes turned to Elijah as she picked up the receiver.“This is Vice President Elijah,”she announced firmly.A familiar but timid voice greeted her.“Vice President Elijah… this is Queen Romella of Alemia.”The room fell into complete silence. Every officer present held their breath, straining to catch any hint of what was being said. The weight of the unexpected call hung heavily in the air.Elijah’s voice turned ice-cold, her t
Meanwhile, in the Aeternum camp, soldiers discussed the situation in hushed but animated tones. The transparency of the president’s leadership and the reports of the Alemia government’s incompetence had ignited a fiery determination among them.“Did you hear the latest report?”one soldier asked, leaning over his meal tray.“The queen herself admitted to being a puppet for the nobles. Can you believe that?”Another soldier scoffed.“It’s disgusting. They let their people starve and suffer while they live in luxury. No wonder Aeternum had to step in.”A younger recruit, still fresh to the army, spoke up hesitantly.“Do you think we’re really doing the right thing? Taking over an entire nation?”The veteran sitting next to him clapped him on the shoulder.“Kid, we’re not just taking over. We’re fixing what they broke. Look around you—this isn’t a war for power. It’s a war for justice.”The recruit nodded slowly, his doubts fading.“I just… I’ve never seen a leader like the president bef
