The bandits, whether they were own apart of the nobles force or just an average bandits in the Southern Alemia region, are always attracted to Aeternum Navy convoy no matter what. Because it didn’t take too much intellect to know that with just the Seafood’s product alone, as soon as any of them got their hands on it, it was an instant rich for anyone, not to mention the multitude of products and raw materials that were now transported in a large capacity using the ships. Everyone knows just how wealthy Aeternum Navy Convoy is, because no matter how many times the convoy passed through the territory, the ships always without any fails, managed to pays the tolls every single time.I always mandated for any Aeternum owned convoy, to pay respect to the local rules and customs, although is was annoying and burdensome to do so, these kind of things can’t be avoided at all, after all, we are passing through their territories. Then again, the reason as to why the bandits knows just how rich
In the scenario of wanting to have more impact, there should be a main focus in the plan, to make everyone can’t help but being worried and concerned. To start the support everyone needs to be concerned about the matter in the first place. So if we managed to sparks that concerns then everything will just start moving from there, therefore who in Aeternum that has a lot of public influence than me. This is why I decided that I have to be in that ships that would be attacked and also reported in the scene of the news to make more impact, when that happened I am sure that no matter how stubborn people were, they have to send their support one way or another. But naturally, putting myself in a risk, is something that no one wanted me to do.“.…I don’t think that you being there, yourself…isn’t necessary at all…someone can be there…Bina, Mina or me can simply replaced you…and I am sure people will react the same way as you wanted…Sire..”.(Vice President Elijah)“I seconded, Vice President
Finally the end agreed decision for everyone to agreed with my participation, is that Bina and Duchess Kolarova, along side with 100 soldiers each being ready in secrets was agreed upon and it was the conditions for me being in the actions, Although I am pretty much sure that such things isn’t needed for my safety all, but since these arrangement were the only way that they can let it go, I might as well went along with it. Now naturally all that is left, is to spread the news, about the incoming Aeternum convoy and also the news about the first Aeternum Live Holographic news, by now I am sure that everyone surely in need of a new type of entertainments.The Holographic broadcast, is just the same as a Television broadcast, it just that compared to a Television that powered by electronic mass communication medium, the Holographic Broadcast, is using all magic and mana, which is to be honest, compared to the early era of broadcasting, the quality of Holographic magic broadcasting, usi
As soon as we sat down in My office in the Broadcasting Centre, I naturally elaborate the entire plans to Paul, letting him know about this is not at all a problem, one thing about Paul, although he is a celebrity and a DJ radio, he is a person that is capable to keep a secret, also the fact that he is signed a loyalty contract with me that lasted for m lifetime, that alone is a big insurance that he will never the a cause to a leaked information, because the contract will then took his life, it was a contract of life and death that he signed by himself. Beside this guy will be the one that will be operating the Broadcast in the background so he needs to know the details even if anyone doesn’t.“Boss man…don’t you think it was a bit risky?…I mean I know that you were the most suitable person for the job…but you are our King…if we lose you..then Aeternum would be nothing…”.(Paul)“Anything is risky, Paul…but what can we do…this is the optimal choice…”.“Well, anything you say, Boss Man
“Really?!…my lord has become an Aeternum Governor?!…the third Aeternum Governor?!..”.(Viscount Crisp Tackle)The stunned reactions, coming from Duke Oliver Gust most loyal retainer, weren’t just exclusive to just him, but also the rest of the people in the room.“Yes, I am!…I were recommended by, our Family Friend, Governess Countess Jelina, supported by the 1st governess Queen Aqeesha Eloesa…and then also supported by the 5 Ministers!…and ultimately, I were appointed as Aeternum Noble, and also an Unofficial Governor ranks!…not only that, His Highness The President also, granted not just me, but my entire family, and also all of my trusted vassal, be granted the Aeternum Citizenship!…Also, look at this, this is a Governor Token, it is something that were only given to the Aeternum Governor..”.(Duke Oliver Gust)Everyone were still on the verge of disbelief, sure they all know that the Duke isn’t a liar, but for a major stuff like this. Everyone needs a time to absorb the shocking tru
Nevertheless, it was a happy celebration for the Gust Family today, with everything has been explained by the Duke about his appointment and also their exciting schedule for tomorrow where all of them will be registering their citizenship at the Immigration office, which is something that all of them has been dreaming to do so from the beginning of their passion for Aeternum. Finally after a brief dinner that everyone attended and they celebrated enough for the day, it was time for them all to discussed the serious thing that he was already been given explanation to.Everyone understood by now, that Aeternum is really are true to their values and words, they all know that Aeternum has stopped supporting and catering to the Alemia Nation demands and it has been going for half a year now, and the effects is devastating. So when they now know that Aeternum will be helping them, for sure there must be a price to pay for such actions. Duke Oliver and his entire family and vassal are not na
Emotion and grievance were high inside of the Duke Oliver Gust mansion right now. Because now they know the price that they have to pay, for them to make their country become better for everyone.“...At the end…..the only way for Alemia to change..and for our people….we have to destroyed it with our own hands, ourselves….”.(Viscount Crisp Tackle)“It is bound to happened anyway, Viscount Crisp…these days, those two factions are already destroying everything in their wakes anyway…they wreck everything as they liked…I can see why Lord Duke decide what he decided….it is something that must be done…we as the people of Alemia has to clear our own sins...only then…we can be rest assured that our new government will be able to settle fast and govern all the land with care and just…”.(Baron Ermin Sutton)If Viscount Crisp is the Eastern Alemia Region well known general, Baron Ermin Sutton, is the Eastern Alemia Region genius administrator. He is highly regarded by the Duke Oliver as the brain
The unspoken rules and cultures in Aeternum is naturally something that those who isn’t Aeternum hard to know,only those that has been living in Aeternum and actually in the knows would understand about it. The power nature in Aeternum government is also something that never really apparent in Aeternum governance, but if one were to see and inspect them closely they would see that it is happening all the time. Aeternum is just like any government in the world, there is corners to learn and get adjusted to, but compared to all the other Government structure out there, Aeternum is the only government that is following their rules to the bone.“...In Aeternum, Central Government Ministry…is the only Ministry in Aeternum…that is obtained His Highness President complete trust and authority…it was the only Ministry that proudly state their motto as…making the impossible, possible…no matter how hard the mission was…no matter how deadly the mission was…if the Central Government Ministry were
The café, with its elegant glass windows and flourishing ivy, was abuzz with its usual morning crowd. However, one table in the corner stood out. Crown Princess Angela, seated with her usual poise, sipped her chamomile tea as she addressed the gathering of foreign dignitaries.Around her sat Countess Hessina Redwall of the Setting Sun Kingdom, a cunning diplomat who rarely minced words, Princess Yuneda Crystal of the Giant Lake Crystal Duchy, known for her charm and pragmatism, and Princess Nelly Nirewin of the Kingdom of Nirewin, a fiery orator with a sharp tongue. Despite their differences in personality and origin, all shared one thing in common: their countries' fates were intertwined with Aeternum’s ambitions.Angela placed her teacup gently on the saucer and let her steely gaze sweep across the table.“Ladies, let us dispense with pretenses,”she began, her voice firm but elegant.“Today marks the beginning of a new era—not just for Aeternum, but for the entire Central Continent
In bustling city squares, people gathered around public radios and large screens broadcasting the speech. Patriotic songs erupted spontaneously, as street performers played instruments, and the crowds joined in singing with fervor. The sight of Aeternum’s blue-and-gold banners fluttering in the wind became a symbol of hope and unity.For Alemia immigrants like Dario, a young carpenter who fled his homeland years ago, the news hit like a thunderbolt. Dario’s hands trembled as he gripped the edge of the workbench he was leaning on.“They’re going to free it,”he whispered, disbelief coloring his voice. His coworker, an Aeternum citizen, clapped him on the back and said with a wide grin,“Not ‘they.’ We are going to free it.”Dario smiled for the first time in years, tears glistening in his eyes.“Yes. We are.”For the millions of Alemia refugees living in Aeternum, this was a moment of vindication. They had fled their homeland in search of safety, many of them leaving loved ones behind.
“Good afternoon, citizens of Aeternum, people of Alemia, and brave soldiers of our army.Today, we stand at the cusp of history. Today, we march towards the final chapter of a war that should never have been necessary but became inevitable due to the greed, corruption, and incompetence of Alemia’s rulers.For too long, the so-called leadership of Alemia Nation has plagued this continent with its tyranny. Their greed led them to exploit our kindness, pillage our ships, and harm our people. For months, they ransacked our trade routes and embezzled millions of gold coins from our donations meant to help their suffering people. They took what was given freely and returned betrayal.But this war is not only about Aeternum’s justice. It is about liberating a land that has been drowning in oppression for decades. Alemia’s nobles and leaders have ruled with fear, corruption, and cruelty, subjecting their people to a life of suffering, where crime and evil fester unchecked. Their governance ha
“Enough,”I said, my tone firm but calm.“I understand your frustrations, but we must remain focused. This isn’t about them—it’s about us and the legacy we’re building.”Bina and Lucas nodded, though their anger was still palpable. Eliza wiped a tear of laughter from her eye, her grin fading as she straightened up.“We’ll use this situation to our advantage,”I continued.“Their incompetence is our opportunity. At 1:00 PM, we’ll begin the march towards the Central Region. Every front will advance simultaneously, stopping just 2 kilometers from Alemia Capital City.”The generals listened intently as I outlined the next steps.“When we reach that point,”I said, my voice carrying the weight of the moment,“I will address the nation through a live broadcast on Aeternum Media. The people need to see our resolve, our strength, and our commitment to ending this war. This isn’t just about conquering Alemia—it’s about uniting this land under the banner of peace, stability, and progress.”Bina
“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
