Alfred posed a solid concerned at this point, at the moment, I can see that the Eastern Alemia Region do lack population especially the men folks, as they were all got conscripted to the Baron Sunders army recently and they have been sent to the battlefield at the Central Alemia Region since their conscription. But at the moment, my retaliation cannot be a light ones, what I wanted to do is thoroughly decimated the entire Baron Sunders army right here and now so that we can advance through the Eastern Region with ease once we announced the war and started our actions. I wanted the first advance of Aeternum military when the war happened to be something very impact-full that it would shocked the entire world.“...Now that I think about it..you were right Alfred…the Eastern Region population were already so small..thanks to the conscription….if we just killed hundreds of thousand people in that army..then we would face another type of problems…But let’s not forget that we need to make a
“So Sparing a few to kill the many…since there were survivor, and we treated those that were not involved in war nicely…they masses cannot blamed us at all…thus paired with our justifiable cause of war and our apparent mercy…they cannot blamed us at all but rather to accept what is to come and be contend with it….Nice moves, Alfred….”.“Hohoho~ thank you for your compliment, My Lord…I supposed it was a wisdom that comes with an age…after living for thousand of years and observing humans for so long…this is something that I can easily do…”.(Alfred Monticello)“Oh right…sometimes I forgot that you are an Arch Lich that has lived since the old age…Hahaha…Still…it amazed me just how stupid this people are…they are still paying attention to that metal ship and didn’t give up at all…”.At these point, I am no longer felt it was stupid but rather amazed just how clueless these people are. They can clearly see that the Iron Vessel No.1 is made out of metal, yet they still just showering the s
A Few minutes before the order comes from the President to start the attack, at the Iron Vessel No.1 the situation inside the ship were fairly mundane and normal. Although the situation outside the ship were very chaotic, inside the ship it was very serene, especially when the stoic unmoved Admiral Duchess Kolarova Qoon were there on the Captain Chair. Overseeing the entire battlefield. Everyone inside the ship saw the President putting his life on the risk, being injured and all, so the sailor crew often looked back at their Admiral to see her expression. Everyone in the Navy and at the Kingdom of Eloesa knew that their once a Crown Princess were engaged to the President and both of them loved each other dearly.That is why everyone in the ship doesn’t dared to utter a single words as they were being considerate towards the Admiral. Not every sailors and navies were people of Eloesa, only the majority of them that made up the Navy Combat Specialist, around 60% of the Navy were just n
Ever since Knight Maxwell were pulled out from the battlefield at the Central Alemia Region, where’s he is carrying in his lord name in the war against the Queen of Alemia, supporting the Crown Prince Faction. His days has never been so good, he is feeling very delighted as well as all of his men. The Civil war between the Crown Prince faction and the Queen Faction is like a meat grinder, all the soldiers from all over the country comes there and to fight each others and kill each others. Representing Baron Sunders, he fought the enemies days in and days out, leaving the comfort of his home and woman and his wives. But for Knight Maxwell, this is not that hard, he is the Baron Sunders army commander, he is faring quite well, as he doesn’t really have to joined the front lines and only shouted order from behind. Still the war is a very frightening places even for a man like his.Knight Maxwell is a noble that is a loyal vassal to Baron Sunders, although his lord were just merely a Baro
Anguish, Fear, despair, unfairness, questioning, that is what is going on inside all Baron Sunders soldiers at the moment as soon as the thunderous sound of Iron Vessel No.1 Cannon, machine guns and explosion, brought earthquakes through out their surrounding. At first they were questioning just how foolish the ship to not ran away from the attacks but instead stay stationary to accept all their arrows, but at the first booming sound, they were shocked beyond belief, as they now knows that it wasn’t the Aeternum were the one that is a foolish ones, but they were. Today, it would engraved in their minds as to why Aeternum were known as the sleeping beast, and they have woken up that beast with fury and anger towards them all.“L..l…lord Knight!!…Lord Knight Sir!!!….what should we do?..”.(Squire Knight Conor)The Command of Baron Sunders army, were in stupefied at the moment, seeing the Aeternum early retaliation. At firs they were all confident that they can win this war easily, but as
As soon as there were just too many deaths and the losing side is getting more and more apparent, all the leaders of Baron Sunders army loses their mind and succumb to fear and made a decision to just turned away and ran, using their men to be a sacrifice for them to make their way out of the battlefield. All the upper brass of the Baron Sunders Army were hold together and lead by all the nobles that is of the Knight Family level and to the Squire Knight of the early nobility ranks. And given that they served the greedy and unqualified Baron Sunders naturally all the nobles under this nobles were all unreliable and were just all selfish for themselves. The soldiers and the middle ranks leaders of the Army were all commoners and free man status.Nevertheless they were subjected to the Nobility classes so whether they like it or not, they had to obeyed those that were noble descent than them, event though their leaders weren’t even capable as them. Baron Sunders army were not at all ca
To every single soldiers in Baron Sunders army at this very moment, the moment when they finally saw an Aeternum soldiers standing before them, no longer they were seen as far away figure that were huddling up on their ships, but instead as a combatant that were facing them, their expression changed. It was gone the passive and the kind Aeternum that they all known Aeternum for, but instead, Every Single Aeternum soldier shown their fierce warrior image, like a demon that were unleash on land to ravage everything in their sight and on their paths. Just by mere aura, demeanour and effectiveness alone, Aeternum soldier triumph every single aspect of Baron Sunders Army. With their mighty and deadly weapons, Aeternum soldiers cut through the enemy lines without any hardship at all.“Soldier’s!!… never retreat!!…move forward!!…Gun down every single one of them!!…”.(Major General Lucas)“Sir, Yes Sir!!....”.(Aeternum Soldiers)With the general really excited in the face of
As if the gods has not heard Baron Sunder army pleas for mercy, after the appearance of the overbearing Major general Lucas along with his mighty Aeternum Army, minutes later as Baron Sunders army were struggling to even keep their composure together and wanting to retaliate, as the bombardment from the Major General Lucas soldier grenade throwing an the Iron Vessel No.1 hails of explosion stopped another waves of Aeternum soldiers these time it was lead by the President of Aeternum himself appeared on the battlefield. The Baron Sunders Army at first were stunned by his appearance, he was all bloodied and also wrapped with bandaged all over his body, but he stood firmly at the edge of the battlefield with his entire troops behind him.“Soldiers of Aeternum!!…today, these enemies has attacked us!…they killed out brothers and sisters as they please because they were greedy for what is ours!!…”.(President Mies of Aeternum) At this moment, Baron Sunders Army were shaking in fears due to

“Coming Soon: Aeternum’s First Movie – Directed by the President Himself!”The public reaction was beyond anything I had imagined. People were talking about it in markets, cafes, and even at work.“Did you hear? The President himself is acting in this film!”“I don’t even know what a movie is, but if the President made it, I have to see it!”“They say it’s like a play, but the characters are on a magical screen. How does that even work?”The excitement was contagious. Even foreign merchants and diplomats in Aeternum were intrigued—they, too, wanted to witness this mysterious new form of entertainment.Shooting the movie was not easy. Unlike Earth, Aeternum had no experienced film industry professionals. Camera operators had to be trained from scratch.Actors had to learn how to deliver lines naturally instead of exaggerated stage acting. Lighting and set design had to be invented entirely from the ground up.One of my biggest struggles?Teaching the actors to not look directly at the
On screen, ANBC reporters walked the streets, interviewed important figures, and even showed battlefield footage of Aeternum’s military exercises. The people were shocked, their jaws dropping as they saw moving images of places they had never been."It’s like I’m standing there with them!" A shopkeeper had exclaimed in an interview, reacting to seeing footage of Angela’s train network expansion.But news wasn’t the only thing that took the world by storm.I had taken it upon myself to recreate classic entertainment from Earth, bringing a whole new level of culture to Aeternum.Dramas and Soap Operas – Noble romance, political intrigue, thrilling battles, and dramatic betrayals captivated viewers. Families gathered around the television, watching scripted stories unfold before their eyes for the first time.Short Films & Movies – Storytelling evolved overnight. Actors and playwrights who once worked in theaters had now found a new home in television. The birth of Aeternum’s film indust
“For the first time ever, we bring to you, the Dukedom of Angela—as seen through the lens of Aeternum television!” Quara announced proudly.The footage zoomed in to Angela City, its sprawling medieval-style castles and townships standing in stark contrast to Aeternum’s modern metropolis. The streets of Angela were bustling, the markets filled with traders, and most importantly, the brand-new train station was shown in full glory—with an Aeternum-built high-speed train pulling in.Loud cheers erupted from across the nation.“I never thought I’d be able to see another country without having to travel!” a young boy marveled, watching from his family’s living room.Back in the Angela Grand Plaza, where a giant public viewing screen had been set up, Angela’s own citizens were watching themselves on the Aeternum News.A young Angela nobleman paled, tugging at his collar. “Is this how they see us? We look so… so old-fashioned compared to them!”His companion, a wealthy merchant, nodded. “The
As life in Angela rapidly modernized, one final surprise awaited its citizens—a marvel unlike anything they had ever seen before.Under President Mies’ orders, Minister Rafaela of A.R.D.H.M. (Art, Research, Development, Health, and Magic) had finally completed a project years in the making.Aeternum had officially invented the world’s first television.At Angela’s Grand Plaza, a massive gathering of people stood in front of a newly constructed screen.“Is this… some kind of moving painting?” an old man asked, adjusting his spectacles.His grandson, a curious boy named Emile, tugged on his sleeve. “Grandpa, look! The picture is… changing!”The crowd gasped as the screen flickered to life, revealing an image of DJ Skelly and Quara Raedrim, two of Aeternum’s most famous radio hosts.“Greetings, citizens of Angela!” DJ Skelly’s booming voice echoed across the plaza. “Today is a historic day! For the first time ever, the people of Aeternum and Angela will witness the future of entertainmen
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
