As we arrived at the Eastern Border base, the situation were completely normal, although with my arrivals the Border Patrol officers and Soldiers were all in high spirits, they were all preparing for the gate opening and as well as the imminent attacks. It was a normal scene as at any border places in Aeternum, but this time this place just have a more personnel than usual. The Convoy that were with me, naturally immediately jumps into work of their own, the medical staffs went and erected the Field Hospital tents. The immigration staffs, went into the existed immigration office and also enlarged the operating space. Everyone got their jobs to do and they just goes up and do it, the border gate area, is what we called the border base area.Basically the gate entrance is where all the facilities were located, it was a large space, and there were all essential buildings here for all the immigration, entering and leaving business that can be dealt here on the spots. So there is not much
At the refugee settlement, the refugees naturally did not know what is about to happened as they all didn’t know that soon they will be able to get a chance to get what they wanted all this time, and that is to become an Aeternum citizen. All that they know is that today, the activities on the top wall, is rather rowdy, and also there is a warning alarmed that were sounded at the morning today, which they all knew that a Monster Stampede is coming this way. Living near Aeternum made them learned a thing or two about Aeternum alarms.It is not like their Camps haven’t been attacked by monster stampede before or the alarm never sounded off before. They did, get attacked before and even so, they were all safe since Aeternum would sound the warning alarm hours before the stampede comes. And as always, the poor refugees actions is to packed their tents and belonging and moved closer to to Border walls, this actions enable Aeternum soldiers to protect them all, as the firing area were clea
As soon as one person pointed out that The President of Aeternum were right there before all of them, many of the refugees instantly looked up to confirmed what they heard. And at that moment, everyone instantly knows and recognized the President of Aeternum is really on top of the wall, and are looking over all of them. It was definitely a surreal moment’s for all the refugees, as all of them were living very close with Aeternum land, naturally they all knows about the President and mostly about Aeternum government. In fact all of them studied all about Aeternum, from language all the way to the leadership figures of Aeternum.Naturally they were taught by the soldiers and also a lot of the volunteers from Aeternum that comes to help the refugees. Everyone in the refugees camps knows a little bit about Aeternum lives, it very different from what they used to, given that all the refugees wanted to be an Aeternum citizen, they showed an enthusiastic passion to blend in, therefore learn
All the refugees were begging on their knees before the wall wholeheartedly, it was something that can even made the toughest ones touched and sympathized with them. Aeternum soldiers that were in the wall, were naturally is as humane as anyone can be also can’t avoid but got choked with tears. But nevertheless whenever they were under order and the supervision of the 3 top most leader of the nation, they will stay true to their duty no matter what, it is what they have been trained for, and what they believed as a soldier. As the shouts and wails becomes louder, Aeternum soldier and the border patrols were all manning up their spots, unmoving at all by the scene.In the midst of this situation, everyone turned to one person to say something to reply to the cries of these people. Everyone were tense, be it on the refugees sides or the Aeternum side, even those that were under the wall on the Aeternum side, were just silently working without saying a single words at all, but all of the
Everyone stopped on their track as soon as they heard the calm voice from the President. No one wanted to say anything as soon as the president took the stage, after all, he is the person that no one should annoyed at this point, especially when their lives were now hanging on the line. Still to the Alemia refugees this is a moment that they all have been waiting for, perhaps the this is the time that their prayers will be heard by the President and quite possible changed their lives forever. So, with everyone watches, the president now took a step forward towards the wall edge and right now he was visible to everyone from both side.Also at the top wall, the radio broadcast team were also on there, currently the designated reporter for this occasion, reporter Vincent John were airing this moment live on the radio news for the entire world to hear and listen. Also currently at the same time, the Aeternum Noble association volunteers and the Aeternum Cathedral of Faith volunteers are a
Finally when the President of Aeternum speaks about the truth that none of the refugees were to be blamed for everything that had happened, to the refuges they all felt like finally they were heard, their feeling of injustice and unfairness were addressed truly and finally their have their own voice that really matters. This is the first time in a long time that they were in an audience with a true leaders that understood all of them and their peril. It was snow that all of the refugees finally and truly believed that Aeternum is really a superior nation compared to Alemia Nation, and it convince all of them even more that if they all lived under The president ruled, then their future and lives will be guaranteed.“That’s right your Highness!…it’s true!…we are all just people who wanted to survive!…our ruler has failed us to many times!….me and my child were shooed out by the barons after he killed my husband and son in war!…please your highness….please!…I can’t lived under those mons
When the president asked them the questions, and the questions is actually will lead to all of them being permitted into Aeternum and given a chance to finally achieve their dreams. The entire crowds were stunned and speechless for a moment, for the refugees that were asked this questions, they all turned to each others in disbelief and stunned. After waiting for a long time, right now they all were given the answer that they were all waiting for, all they have to do is say ‘Yes’ to the questions that were given to them. And ultimately followed the rules and laws of Aeternum, become a true part of Aeternum society. This is not just a simple question, the questions that were asked here were their promise directly to the president himself."YES!!!…We are all willing, Your Highness!!!…".(Alemia Nation Refugees)“Thank you! Your highness!!…thank you for answering our prayers!!…may god bless you!…may god bless Aeternum!!!…”. (Alemia Nation Refugees)It was a resounding cheers from the mass
At the moment, just a few hundreds meters away from the Eastern Border Gate, where currently it was packed with refugees entering the border and being process at the same time. A full scale defensive war is currently undergoing it’s progress, it is certainly a worrying fact for those that were on the scene, naturally, after all hordes of monster were attacking and despite the refugee numbers there were prohibited from joining the battle and instead were only given permission to watched them from a far. Meanwhile, the rest of Aeternum staffs and officers that were in the Border base were relatively calm, the entire time. To the refugees some of them understand the Aeternum confidence, they have defended this gate a lot of times, this time would be no different too. But there were some that were still find themselves being panic, and some wanting to help the Aeternum Soldiers.“Please do not panic!…everyone proceed as you were instructed!…Our military is currently handling the battle gr
“T.A.S.,”Mies Sai said, his tone shifting to one of command,“Open the communication line to the admiral.”Within seconds, the image of Admiral Duchess Kolarova appeared on the screen. Dressed in her pristine navy uniform, her sharp features exuded authority and confidence.“Admiral,”Mies Sai began,“I want your fleet to break away from the southern troops and position yourselves for long-range artillery bombardment. Your fleet’s firepower is unmatched, and I want the enemy to understand the futility of their resistance.”Kolarova saluted crisply.“Understood, Mr. President. The fleet will move into position immediately.”“Additionally,”Mies Sai continued,“Prepare to launch one small missile during the bombardment. It’s not about destruction—it’s about sending a message. Let the enemy see what they’re up against.”A sly smile crossed Kolarova’s lips.“Consider it done, sir. The missile will remind them why Aeternum is a force to be reckoned with.”The Aeternum Royal Navy, with its
“Mama, will the President make our whole country like Brighthelm?”The mother smiled, tears glistening in her eyes.“Yes, my child. He will. And no one will ever hurt us again.”An older man, a former soldier of Alemia’s army, clenched his fists.“This is what we’ve been waiting for. Aeternum doesn’t just bring soldiers—they bring hope. Let them march. Let them finish this.”For the Aeternum soldiers, the atmosphere was one of steely determination. The order had come down from the President himself: March forward. No more stops. No more delays. The war ends now.In the Eastern front, soldiers moved in unison, their steps a rhythmic cadence that mirrored their collective resolve. Vehicles rolled steadily forward, their engines humming a low, determined growl. Tanks, Humvees, and armored carriers trailed the long columns of soldiers, while helicopters hovered overhead, their shadows dancing on the ground.Inside one of the vehicles, a young recruit turned to his comrade.“Do you think w
“Madam Vice President, all personnel have boarded. The airships are ready for departure.”Elijah turned to him, her expression one of quiet determination.“Good. Ensure they have a secure flight. The success of this mission doesn’t just depend on the battlefield—it hinges on our ability to stabilize Alemia the moment it falls.”As the airships began to lift off, Elijah clasped her hands behind her back, watching the fleet ascend into the sky. She allowed herself a brief moment of satisfaction. Aeternum’s reach was about to extend further than ever before.In a private moment, Elijah returned to the War Room and gazed at the holographic map of Alemia Nation. The Central Region, highlighted in red, was slowly being surrounded by the advancing Aeternum forces.T.A.S, the President’s sentient AI, chimed in through the room’s speakers.“Madam Vice President, all preparations are proceeding according to plan. Victory is statistically inevitable.”Elijah smirked.“It’s not just about victory
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
