With the confirmations from both Alemia and Aeternum leader, the campaign to subdue the Alemia rebel has officially started, As soon as the order was given out, Aeternum Army and Alemia Army were combined into one unit, and now, the first Combined unit were already formed and on standby waiting to board the Airship stationed at the Alemia Royal Knight exercise field.
"Is 2000 of us enough to do this?..". (Knight Commander Leonardo)He was assigned to be the leader for the Alemia army, for this first operation. Standing inside the captain cockpit on his side was Major Juliet who silently looking over the plan she had received from the HQ last night."2000 was already more than enough…without force combined, we can easily subdue any retaliation they have in store…". (Major Juliet)She said with utter confidence."Still, I do kind of excited to see how those buffoon of a noble will react when we rain down on them…". (Knigh"[Compound area secured..].."."[Guard post North Secured, allies in place..].."."[Guard post South Secured, allies in place..]..".Back in Alemia capital Aeternum F.O.B, Queen Romella along with her closes minister was in spectating mode. They glue their eyes and ears on the multiple screens, displaying the direct video feed from the current operation. But since the language that Aeternum soldier uses were so different from and considered new to them, they constantly asked the operation operator which sitting right in front of the monitor. Major Juliet's second in command was in the F.O.B, Captain Anna was in charge of the camp and due to the royals who demanded that they wanted to see everything, she had to stand in and become their translator."So you were saying they currently IN the Duke places..and already started to take control of the outside of his mansion….up until now they still went unnoticed?
"What do you mean don't kill them?..". (Queen Romella)With the success of the raid of Duke Harringfold estate went without a hitch, all the high-value target, Duke Harringfold, and the two of his vassal were all detained and kept alive, were on the way to be transported back to the Alemia Capital. Although the mission was already considered a success by Aeternum, Queen Romella do not share the same joy as them, seeing such a traitorous person still alive, she was upset, she wanted the Duke to be killed at once, with boiling unsatisfactory she immediately asked for explanations from President Mies."you need them alive…for now.."."Even so, that man is a traitor of my kingdom, his sentences were already set the moment he did so…he deserve to be decapitated…". (Queen Romella)She pounds her chair armrest for the unknown times, voicing her fury."He does deserve that…but then what?… those who committed
"Everyone get ready!…Paul makes sure that the transmission was clear…Bina Make sure that the town square is fully guarded, I want no one interrupting this..".With Queen Romella agreed to personally appear in the public to deliver the punishment to the rebel Duke Harringfold. I wouldn't say that it was definitely a risky move to do this right in the middle of enemy territory, although we already have the enemy commander in custody, that doesn't eliminate the probability that the remaining soldier who in the city will be willingly surrendered.But considering that in this world the medieval mentality of honor and chivalry were still held high in the society, surely the capture of an enemy commander will have some effect. Also thanks to all the spies I planted all over Alemia, I found out that only 25% of the entire Alemia population knew what the real cause of the war was, as for the other's they were just like weed swaying to the winds.
After the long inspirational speech continued with a court session which provided a solid prove to every Queen Romella claims, the entire Alemia nations were now aware and in support in her reign. It’s immediately shows a visible changed towards the tide of war, the Noble Coalition were in the state of shock and chaos, several places all over Alemia has seen an uprising, most of it were lead by commoner and small noble house.Still although the numbers were small, but the effect were visible. All the Noble Coalition felt the heat on their necks, at the same time they were still thankful that they still safe in their castle as the Stampede month were still in effect. They believe that, although The throne resistance was surely somethi
1 week has passed since I let Bina lead the Alemia southern region to conquer mission. She was able to complete every single mission there successfully, which shocked even me. She actually bulldozed every single target with sheer power, thanks to her, the Southern region has fallen to Alemia Royals controls. Ultimately with Alemia gain full control over the region, the possibility of other nation's influence in the war can be eliminated."We obtained and confiscated all the slaves in the southern regions…but, it is not possible to keep it under the radar if we used the same conquered city as the transport points….". (Andrea)Of course, at the same time as the conquering phase was undergoing, the Resource Department was task to acquired all the slaves in the five regions. But to my shocked, the number of slaves in those five regions was counted for over a million people."I agree…then we should transport all the rescued to a safe
Alemia Capital, Alemia Nation.Following the suggestion from Aeternum ruler, President Mies, Queen Romella, and her minister cabinet have agreed to fully take control of all of the regions from east, south, and west. South Region was already 80% subjugated, all the regions which were bordering the rivals nation have been fully brought under control by the glorious savage demoness red general herself General Bina Murook of Aeternum army.Due to her appearance in the region alone made every noble coalition member shivers in fear, her achievement even instilled awe and fear amongst the Alemia military commander. According to the Alemia official reports who act together with her division as a settlement soldier, She actually just personally bulldozed her way in on each stronghold they encounter, slaughtering every enemy that crossed her way with her large black and red double war axe. But despite her seemingly demonic way in war, she wa
"Well there's nothing wrong with them tries to handle their own problem…we should just let them do what they want…".After Queen Romella said that she will be conquering Count Drakul territory in the West region, Elijah and the other went sours, as for me I just let them be. There's nothing to be upset about, she clearly said that everything will be on their own expenses, and nothing of it will implicate on us."But…this war was built on an alliance, even if they tried to do it on their own..at the very least they should include our men in it..". (Bina)Bina was the only one who in the meeting via video conference. In a sense, she does have the right to get angry at this decision, at this point every battle was vital to her men, as it all will be served as a valuable real-time battle experience. Although my Army can be considered at the top tier in the central continent, a battle experience was something that we lack, a real sold
The region where the Dynasty Alter were found was in the territory of Count Miller, to be more exact the forest it situated at was Long Bark forest. Long Bark forest was a fairly secluded forest that were known to be a home to a Undead species monster’s, it encompassed of 3km2 right in the edged of Miller county, next to the forest village that has been turned into my Airship temporary port.
At Fort Steelward, a border outpost near the west, Angela’s Captain Cedric Durand stood alongside Aeternum’s Colonel Matthias Kael, watching as their combined forces executed a tactical drill.“You train your men well,” Captain Cedric admitted, watching as Aeternum’s soldiers swiftly took down training dummies with precise gunfire and coordinated tactics.Colonel Kael smirked. “Efficiency is key. We fight with strategy, discipline, and superior equipment.”Angela’s soldiers were still adjusting to Aeternum’s modernized warfare, but the results spoke for themselves. Crime rates near the border had dropped by 60% in just three months, and monster activity was at an all-time low.For Angela’s government, this was the best possible outcome. A safer nation meant a stronger economy, happier citizens, and more stability.In the halls of Angela’s Royal Palace, the nation’s ministers convened for a special meeting to discuss the growing partnership with Aeternum.“I must admit,” Minister Jean-
“So…” Baroness Elise folded her arms. “Are you telling us that our businesses are failing because we refuse to acknowledge the common folk as valuable clients?”“Precisely,” Lionel said. “Look, my friends—tradition is fine, but wealth does not care about tradition. You must ask yourselves, do you wish to cling to outdated ideals and watch your investments fail? Or will you embrace modernity and open your doors to the true economy?”The Angela nobles were silent.Marquis Alistair eventually exhaled. “Damn… I hate to admit it, but you’re right.”Duke Clarence sighed, rubbing his temples. “It seems we have much to reconsider.”Lionel smirked. “That’s the first step to success. Now… shall we discuss how to properly revamp your business strategies?”By the time Angela’s nobles returned home, their entire perspective had changed. Within weeks, their resorts underwent major rebranding, opening their services to the wealthy merchants, military officers, and successful craftsmen that made up A
Duke Clarence and his companions exchanged glances. The idea of a nobility focused on economy and culture rather than ruling and taxation was unthinkable in the Dukedom of Angela.At that moment, Countess Vivian Lancaster, a noblewoman from Aeternum’s east, approached the group with a knowing smile. “And you should know, Duke Clarence,” she said smoothly, “there is far more wealth and prestige in industry than in ruling over struggling farmers.”She produced a document, sliding it across the table. It was an investment portfolio—Aeternum Nobles had turned entire mountain valleys into profitable spa resorts, old castles into boutique hotels, and hunting grounds into elite golf courses.Marquis Alistair leaned forward, his eyes widening at the immense profits outlined in the reports. “By the heavens… you’re making millions in mere months,” he whispered.Viscount Lionel nodded, clearly enjoying their shock. “And it is all because we embraced progress, rather than clinging to the past.”Ba
“This railway is not merely a connection between nations,” Queen Angela declared, “but a symbol of progress. A bridge between past traditions and the bright future we shall build together.”President Mies added, “With this project, Angela will no longer be isolated or vulnerable. It will be a thriving hub of innovation and prosperity.”The people roared with approval, commoners eager for job opportunities, and nobles eager for increased wealth.Meanwhile, across the border, envoys from Hallerus Kingdom and the Golden Triangle Nation secretly observed the Angela-Aeternum railway collaboration.One Hallerus official slammed his fist onto his desk upon receiving the report. “They’re building a rail network that connects Aeternum to the Forbidden Wasteland?! If this continues, Angela will become untouchable!”A Golden Triangle merchant sneered. “Tch. Those fools in Angela have completely sold themselves to Aeternum. But we can do nothing. Our king already declared hostilities. We are lock
While Angela embraced its partnership with Aeternum, its rival nations were watching with envy and resentment.The Kingdom of Hallerus and the Golden Triangle Nation, both historical adversaries of Aeternum, knew they had missed their chance to secure such a lucrative alliance.In the Hallerus Royal Palace, King Hadrian scowled as he studied a detailed report on the Aeternum-Angela railway project.“They are modernizing too quickly,” he muttered. “Soon, Angela will be just as powerful as Aeternum.”His advisors nodded grimly, but they knew there was nothing they could do.Meanwhile, in the Golden Triangle Nation, Emperor Verix tapped his fingers on his throne, deep in thought.“Aeternum is changing the continent,” he murmured. “And we are falling behind.”With Angela fully embracing progress, Aeternum’s expansion showed no signs of stopping. The railway was more than just steel and tracks—it was the path to a new era. A nation modernizing at unprecedented speed. A people eager to grow
The Dukedom of Angela was no longer just a small kingdom caught between larger powers—it was now on its way to becoming a global trade hub.To further solidify their partnership, Aeternum opened job opportunities for Angela’s citizens. Engineering apprenticeships were offered to young scholars eager to learn Aeternum’s technology. Labor positions in railway maintenance, track laying, and station operations provided work for thousands.Even hospitality and tourism sectors saw a boom, with people preparing for the influx of travelers who would soon visit their cities. Aeternum made one thing clear—this railway wasn’t just for Aeternum’s benefit, but for Angela’s prosperity as well.However, not everyone was happy about this monumental project.The Kingdom of Hallerus and the Golden Triangle Nation, both long-time rivals of Aeternum, watched the cooperation between Aeternum and Angela with growing jealousy and frustration.For years, both nations had sought to expand their influence in t
“Aeternum plans to construct the longest and most advanced railway system in the continent,” Mies explained, unfolding a detailed map of Central Continent on the table.“We wish to connect New City to the Forbidden Wasteland, and we have chosen the Dukedom of Angela as the interconnection point.”Queen Angela studied the map carefully. “So, Angela would serve as the bridge between Aeternum’s mainland and its Wasteland territories?”“Yes,” Minister Andrea confirmed. “We will be using Mana-powered maglev technology, capable of traveling at speeds unheard of in this world.”Princess Angela’s eyes widened. “You mean to tell me… you’re planning to build a train that runs on magic and technology?”Mies smirked. “That’s exactly what we’re doing.”“This will be the first of its kind,” Vice President Elijah added. “And it will set the foundation for global transportation.”The Dukedom of Angela would become the gateway between two of the most significant territories in the world—Aeternum’s mai
For centuries, The Institute of Artemesia had been one of the world’s most respected academic and magical research institutions. But they had always struggled with one thing—funding and access to knowledge.Aeternum had solved both problems. Inside the Grand Royal Library of Aeternum, Head Scholar Callisto Verdan stood in awe.She ran her hands over the massive tomes of knowledge, collected from all over the world and carefully preserved in Aeternum’s archives.Rare magical research, ancient history, modern technological advancements—it was all here.“Aeternum’s funding has allowed us to expand our studies beyond imagination,” she murmured, her voice trembling with excitement.“With access to this library, we are no longer bound by the limitations of our past.”Beside her, Professor Aldrich—one of Artemesia’s leading scholars—nodded.“The rest of the world still clings to outdated traditions,” he said. “But here? Here we can create the future.”Aeternum had become the center of knowle
Across the different worksites, the harmony between technology and magic became apparent. Aeternum was the only nation in the world that had successfully merged magic with engineering, creating an industrial revolution like no other.Water Mages worked in tandem with high-powered water filtration systems, providing fresh, clean water to new housing districts within hours instead of weeks.Wind Mages generated artificial air currents, assisting the construction of massive skyscrapers without the need for medieval-style scaffolding.Lightning Mages charged up Mana Generators, providing clean, renewable electricity to power Aeternum’s growing urban expansion.The Alemia and Battle Star refugees had never seen anything like it.They had always been told that magic and technology could never coexist—that magic was only for battle and technology was inferior to the will of the gods.But here, in Aeternum, they saw the truth. Magic was not just for war. Technology was not just for the privil
