One can easily see that once Duke Oliver entered the room the atmosphere were turning a little bit lighter, this is his specialty so to say, the old man were just a bundle of light hearted happiness. He is that amiable to everyone, always smiling, he was like that fun and kind uncle that everyone likes to be around with. Which is also set him apart from many of the Alemia Nation nobles or perhaps many noble, he is the rare breed that never really looked in one origin and treated everyone with fairness and kindness, he is a perfect kind of person to be amidst Aeternum figure of power, he is loyal, humble and also followed the book by an extreme. Thanks to him, the Gust Territory has in-doctrine Aeternum law and customs completely, as he finds is that Aeternum rules and customs were just nothing but truth and goodness in it.“The last time that we meet, I remember that you were still just a normal squad leader….looks like someone got promoted recently…”. (Duke Oliver Gust)“It was all t
Project Conqueror is a large scale plan for a large scale invasion, so naturally the planning were also involved in many aspect. So Duke Oliver Gust role in these project is both as an aide and also for him to be the governor of Alemia Nation as soon as the invasion is over. So for the early on, his image has to be created as someone of the remnant of the old Alemia Nation, someone who is still up standing and wasn’t corrupted, of which acknowledge by many, to take the mantle of protecting Alemia Nation and also to rule it under Aeternum. Aeternum in the context of this invasion would act in a retaliation to Alemia Nation provocation and acted to be it’s cleanser, and then Duke Oliver Gust would step up as the calming effect to the entire thing and stopped the onslaught.The plan was, when I were ‘attacked’ and the news broke out, there will be a wide spread panic that would encompassed not only Aeternum but also Alemia Nation, for Aeternum it was feared for the lives of their preside
What agent Marisko said were right, when everything were in motion, the Alemia Nation were only been given illusion that they, were able to defend themselves and perhaps attacking Duke Oliver Gust territory or even just have time before Aeternum comes and take actions. While in reality, everything will me in motion, as soon as everything happened. Compared to many people in these world no one has a scheming perfection just like Aeternum had. I have no worries at all, that the plan would go awry, but rather I am very excited at the prospect of war, where Aeternum would be able to expand itself even more.“That’s right, Oliver,…you don’t have to worry about getting attacked by the 2 faction at all…Your territory will received a protection and backup from the Royal Navy and Eloesa Army…”.“That is very reassuring to hear…but what of the Southern Region side?…”.(Duke Oliver Gust)It was warranted to be worried of the aspect of war, losing soldier is something that is worrisome after all.
My brief and short meeting with Duke Oliver Gust is not the only meeting that I have had for these whole passed week, I meet with Elijah and all the others as well, while I was still based on the Eastern Border Base. I have relocated from the Eastern Border Base to the Eastern Military Base since Tuesday, since I will be holding a few more important and sensitive topic with the members of the government I was much better to hold it on a secure location. Everything regarding the ‘Project Conqueror’ were talked and discussed, just to make sure that everyone would be ready at once. As there would be an expected casualties when the ambushed takes place. Naturally it will be a controlled casualties and the casualties that will be made will not at all impacted Aeternum government in any formed at all.“Your Highness President, all the Inmates has been placed on the Treasured ships….currently they were under a strict control on the Navy officers..”.(Navy Staff Captain Genoa)As I were in the
Meanwhile at the Aeternum Treasury ship no.0, the vibes on the ships is slightly rowdy but at the same time also very orderly. The ship main essential were all protected and controlled by all Aeternum Navy sailors, the ships is naturally operated by the Aeternum Navy, but at the same time, it was also filled with with Prisoners, on this particular ship on the top deck of the ships can be seen a lot of people, and 95% of them is actually just criminals and prisoners. Not a single one of the Prisoners knows as to why they were truly being sent here at all. Yesterday all of them were an inmates in Aeternum Correctional Prison, and the next thing they know they were sent here by the Fearsome prison warden and the strong policemen and they were told that they would be performing their correctional duty, and that is to assist with operating a ship to traverse from Aeternum to Eloesa City.All of the prisoners here were all just low life criminals, they were all a criminals that has performe
There is 4 total ships that would be involved in the Inspection tour from Aeternum Central Shark City to the Eloesa City, with the public aims is to inspect the river routes and also delivering a few important items from the Aeternum Mainland to the Kingdom of Eloesa. There is only a single modern ships in the entire fleet of 4, that modern ship is the Coastal Patrol ship types from the Coast Guard, of which that I bought on earth before, the ship were fully geared up and armed to the teeth, ready for combat. As for the other 3 ships were the slow moving medieval wooden ships caravel, naturally it was all fitted with Magic Sails, for a bit faster movement. Yes, the Sail were magically enchanted so that it would always be able to move albeit slightly faster.The remaining 3 ships were all just loaded with boxes and barrel filled with soils and sands, just to make an illusion of there is something in it. The Treasury ship, is the 3rd ship on the fleet line, and also the ship that where
The president inspection tour fleet departed from the Aeternum Eastern Military base port safely and on time, so to the said, nothing really out of the ordinary happened at all, this journey from the Eastern Border Base towards Eloesa City will take approximately 4 days. Actually the trip can be shortened to 2 days only is it was following the usual standard voyage speed, that the Aeternum ships usually does, but since these voyage has something else planned for it, naturally it would take a scenery routes to prolonged the duration of the voyage. At these time I had nothing to do at all, so I decided to do my paper work on the top deck of the Caravel, near the ship steer wheel. Below deck the Prisoners were actively still doing their work, moving barrels and crates to the lower deck. Everyone were busy doing their work, as I from time to time got a report from all the ships to make sure that I am aware of everything.“Hmm…it seems that we have to ready for road constructions on the Al
By now everyone already get the news that The Aeternum President is already on a ship and started his inspection tour towards the Kingdom of Eloesa, as last night and before the ships departed from the harbour, the radio news were covering the story very closely at all time. After the revelation of Alemia Nation story by Aeternum, people were very curious on whether Aeternum would do something immediately, but regardless of everyone anticipation. Aeternum did not do much of anything other than delivering a warning threat and then just move on with the entire thing and their day without doing much of anything at all. But no one dared to belittle Aeternum for these no existence of an action, because everyone knows that Alemia Nation needs only to slips up just once, and when they did, then everything will changed by then, now the people are paying very close attention to the entire thing, as they were just waiting for Alemia Nation to just do some stupid thing, after all, those people i
At the city square, a young boy tugged on his mother’s sleeve, pointing to the horizon.“Mama, is it true? Are they here to save us?”The mother, her eyes brimming with tears, nodded.“Yes, my child. Aeternum is here. We are saved.”As the Aeternum Army drew closer, their banners unfurled, and the symbol of Aeternum—a golden tree encircled by a shining sun—fluttered proudly in the wind. The soldiers marched in unison, their disciplined movements a stark contrast to the chaos that had gripped the city for so long.In the midst of the approaching forces, the Dragon One Airship hovered like a mighty eagle surveying its prey. Onboard, Mies Sai stood at the helm, his eyes fixed on the Alemia Capital City.“This is it,”he said softly, his voice carrying a weight that no one else could fully understand. Beside him, Lt. Colonel Selie and T.A.S. stood ready, their expressions mirroring his determination.“Mr. President,”Selie said, her voice firm but reverent,“Your orders?”Mies Sai glanced
“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
