“Even if the enemy was not that much of a threat to you, we still need to approach this carefully…”.
Although from what Alfred said that the Chutullusia wasn’t his rival in term of overall strength and power, but that aspect does not includes the three of us. Alfred does suggest that we should and can just barged in and defeated him, but I refused his idea becau
Black House, War Room, Aeternum.As always, ever since Aeternum has Joined the Alemia Nation in their Civil war, the Black House War Room was packed with people and bustling with activities. Every operator from all of the department branch in Aeternum cooperates tightly together. Making sure that everything was handled carefully.The War room was a top priority room at the moment, at every time there will be a Minister leader will be there to supervise the room, and in an instance will be able to issue a correct path of action if there's any trouble arise. Right now, the commander's seat in the War Room was filled by Elijah, The Vice President.Every branch of the military that operates in the field right now has their own designated Communication Operator, it was to ensure that every order and every report can be sent and receives fast and clear without any confusion.One operator in the whole room has it easy, her name is Cammy, a Sergea
Hearing that the President himself gave clearance for the ‘Project Angel’ to be launched made everyone in the room realize the situation’s where he’s at right now weren’t great. In fact looking at his place in the map right now, they were puzzled as to why he doesn’t called the War Room much earlier, he were actually surrounded on all sides.‘Pr
After the call with the War Room, We slowly retreated to a safe distance, I know the impact of the air to ground missile that has been enhanced by my R&D department, it was more deadly than a normal one back on earth.“Alfred we need to enclose all the Seed of the Deep ones near the lake…we can’t let any of it roam outside…”.
Aeternum, New City, Aeternum Royal Army Base, Air Force Base.One of the busiest military branches in the Aeternum Royal Army was definitely the Air Force, they were not only responsible to guard the Aeternum air space but also involved in training the pilots and also the most important part of the Airship service that has been widely used and known throughout not only the Aeternum abut also on the neighboring nations.General Eliza, is the leader and the head of the Aeternum Air force, she also one of the members of Maiden code number M19. Unlike all of her other sisters in the Maiden Unit, Eliza was someone who low profiles. But she was someone who fits to be a leader, charismatic and very calm and composed, due to that President Mies himself put her in charge of the Air Force. Ever since [Project Angel] has been trusted her, she has been monitored all the progressed personally, the Jet Fighter that was involved in and mainly used in the [Project
Long Bark Forest, Southern Alemia.After running for 5 minutes straight, Alehandro and Sasu finally arrived back at the tower. The Undead under Alfred's control has started to seriously put pressure to push all the Seed of the Deep Ones further towards the lake. Loud noises of battles echo throughout the whole forest, making the atmosphere turned intense."Sir…is the backup on the way?..". (Alehandro)Panting and huffing as he lays down on the floor on top of the tower."I've called…in a few minutes she should be here….".I have already gotten the replies from Elijah and the War room informing me that Eliza will be personally piloting the EA-01. I don't really worried if she were the one who did the attack, because she was the best pilot that Aeternum currently had. Still, she could just send her other pilots, they should be able to do the job."She?…who, general Bina?..". (Sasu)
As the mushroom cloud of destructions slowly settles down in front of us, with the help of my Holographic map, there is no longer any living thing in the vicinity of the Lake, all the red dots that filled the area has gone from the map.Needless to say, by the time the mushroom cloud really was gone, the area of 3km2 around the lake including the lake itself was nothing but a desolate crater. The lake was gone so is the vegetation around it. Everything was left in dust and burning soils."...Sir, what is that?..". (Alehandro)Even though what just happened was real, for the three of them, the sheer power of destruction has made them questioned their sanity."That is an AGM-New type Magic Maverick…a new type of weapon release by our R&D Department…also apart of the Military top-secret research [Project Angel]… Quite a good right?..".It's actually an improved AGM-65 Maverick, enhanced by enchantment magic
Instead of stopping at the Forest Village, together with the Floating City, I told Alfred to head straight to Aeternum. It would be a mess if anyone saw a large landmass suddenly floating around. Also, the conditions of the City itself make it hard for it to be stopped at will. The City Anchor that stopped the city in one place were only left with one, the other 3 was already damaged and rusted beyond use."Sir..this is awesome…having a flying city that can be easily moved around…if we turned this into a mobile army base…we probably have a high percentage of winning every war we got ourselves into…". (Sasu)Admiring the entire ruined city as the three of us were taking our time leisurely walking around in the city. The Undead by now no longer attack us, also due to Alfred order the undead has started to repaired many large buildings, and then they use that large building as their new home. Little by little the undead which previously
"Hello, Elijah…look, I'm gonna bring something rather big back…so can you go on the city-wide announcement telling out people, not to panic…and also, please bring an escort out for us..".I called Elijah personally because by the time we arrive at Aeternum, there's no point in hiding this large floating island anymore. Due to the power problem, we can't really fly the Floating City high in the altitude, It would take too much power, at best we can only be brought it as high as 2 kilometer up in the air, which since now it's nearly at the end of the winter season, the sky was fairly clear."<Sigh~> I understand, I will handle it… by the way can you please park the island near the Dragon Mountain..that place is a bit clearer than the rest…do you need anything else master?..". (Elijah)Sighing as nothing she can do to really control the matter, in her opinion such a big thing was better if it was kept under
“Do you hear that?”the man asked, his voice tinged with disbelief. His wife tilted her head, confused.“Hear what?”“Exactly,”he said with a small smile.“No cries, no screams, no clashing of swords. Just... peace.”She leaned her head against his shoulder, her own smile forming.“Maybe this is where we can finally start again.”For the refugees, Gust City wasn’t just a city; it was a promise of what their lives could become—a life of safety, hope, and renewal under the watchful governance of Aeternum.The Gust Ducal Palace stood as a beacon of Aeternum’s prosperity within the Western Region of Alemia. Its grand architecture, a blend of Alemia’s traditional designs and Aeternum’s modern sensibilities, reflected the harmony achieved under Duke Oliver Gust’s leadership. Within its marble halls, the duke’s study served as a sanctuary for strategy and reflection.Seated within the study’s richly adorned walls, Duke Oliver Gust and General Lucas shared an air of camaraderie, their conver
The city of Gust, the capital of the Western Region, radiated an aura of peace and prosperity that seemed almost otherworldly to those who had known nothing but strife. The towering walls stood strong yet inviting, adorned with the Aeternum insignia—a symbol that had come to mean safety and order to the Alemia people.As they passed through the gates, the refugees were greeted by sights and sounds that filled their hearts with hope. Cobblestone streets bustled with activity, but not the chaotic kind they had fled from. This was the lively hum of a thriving community: merchants hawking their wares, children laughing as they played, and townsfolk chatting amicably by fountains that sparkled in the midday sun.An elderly man, his face lined with the hardships of life in the war-torn northern regions, clutched his walking stick tightly as he stopped to take it all in.“Is this... really Alemia?”he asked, his voice trembling with disbelief. His daughter, holding her infant child close to
Unlike the other regions, where battles and skirmishes carved paths to liberation, the Western Region of Alemia had never known the chaos of war during this conflict. This serene anomaly could be attributed to the Gust Ducal Family, led by its dignified patriarch, Duke Oliver Gust.From the very beginning of Alemia’s Civil War, Duke Oliver Gust had pledged his allegiance to Aeternum, a decision that would forever shape the fate of the Western Region. The Duke, a good statesman and a visionary leader, recognized early on the transformative potential of Aeternum governance. By aligning his house with Aeternum and swearing loyalty to its President, he not only secured the safety of his lands but also elevated his status to the Governor of Alemia.Under his leadership, the Western Region flourished. It became a shining example of what could be achieved under Aeternum’s rule—an oasis of peace, stability, and prosperity in a nation otherwise marred by war.The Western Alemia Region stood as
“The President’s arrival always signals a shift in momentum. Whatever he has planned, it will undoubtedly be decisive.”. (Colonel Giuseppe De Gianna)Eliza leaned forward, resting her elbows on her knees.“I don’t know about you, Giuseppe, but I’m itching to get started. The Central Region won’t know what hit them.”. (General Eliza)Giuseppe laughed lightly.“I wouldn’t expect anything less from you, General. Your energy is infectious. Though I must admit, I share your enthusiasm. The Eternal Night Division is ready to stand by your side, as always.”. (Colonel Giuseppe De Gianna)Eliza’s cheerful expression softened slightly, revealing a glimpse of her focused resolve.“Then let’s make sure everything is in place. When the President gives the word, I want the Northern Front to move like a storm.”. (General Eliza)While the Northern Front basked in the unchallenged dominance of the Aeternum Royal Air Force, the Southern Front was marked by grueling ground and naval warfare. Yet, under
The Northern Region of Alemia had become a bastion of order and stability under Aeternum’s relentless advance. Every step taken by the Aeternum forces under General Eliza’s leadership left a lasting mark—one of liberation and peace.Villages that once cowered under the shadow of constant raids now thrived. Markets reopened, children played in the streets, and trade routes flourished. The Aeternum forces didn’t just sweep through the land; they rebuilt it. Engineers, medics, and diplomats followed close behind the military, ensuring that each liberated territory was integrated seamlessly into the growing Aeternum domain.Enemy resistance, while sporadic, was met with calculated force. Eliza’s forces didn’t simply eliminate the threat; they dismantled the very foundations of the enemy’s control. Supply lines were cut, strongholds reduced to rubble, and leadership decapitated with precision strikes.It was no wonder that whispers of Aeternum’s inevitability began to spread. To the Alemia
The heavy doors of Georgina Castle closed behind me as I ascended to the upper floors, the weight of the day finally settling in. The castle’s architecture, a blend of medieval grandeur and modern Aeternum design, offered a commanding view of Georgina City. I stepped onto the balcony, the cool night air brushing against my face, and gazed out over the bustling city.“(Georgina has changed. Not long ago, these streets were plagued with crime and fear. Now, even at this hour, the lights shine brightly, and the sound of laughter echoes through the air.)”The city was alive. Markets remained open, their lanterns casting warm glows over vendors and customers alike. Groups of travelers from the surrounding regions roamed the streets, marveling at the safety and vibrancy that had become synonymous with Georgina.As I observed the scene, I reflected on the strategic importance of Georgina City. It wasn’t just another victory; it was a key to the eastern region of Alemia.“(Larger than New Sun
“Welcome back Your Highness…,”. (Major Fontana)Fontana said, his voice filled with respect. Lieutenant Colonel Selie stood tall beside him, her crisp uniform and confident demeanor a reflection of her discipline and efficiency. As my second in command, she had always been dependable, but it was her initiative and sharp mind that made her invaluable.“Selie,”.I said with a nod.“I trust everything has been handled in my absence?”.She stepped forward, falling into step beside me as we made our way to Georgina Castle.“Your Highness, I ensured that the troops stayed active during the lull. With the soldiers under my command, we eradicated every criminal faction and enemy cell within the city and its outskirts.”. (Lt. Colonel Selie)Selie’s report was precise, but her words carried a quiet pride.“The city is now completely secure. Trade routes are open, and the citizens are thriving. Georgina City isn’t just holding steady—it’s flourishing. Your troops are the reason for that.”. (Lt.
“I heard you were in your office,”. (Elijah)she began, her voice like a soft melody.“I thought you were supposed to be on the frontline.”. (Elijah)I rose to greet her, taking her hand in mine.“I decided to tackle the backlog first…You know, since I am here now… The frontline will wait—it’s moving at a deliberate pace anyway.”Her lips curved into a small smile, but her eyes lingered on me with concern.“You’ve been working yourself too hard. You didn’t even let anyone know you were coming back.”. (Elijah)Before I could reply, she gestured, and moments later, the kitchen staff entered, carrying trays laden with a sumptuous lunch.“I took the liberty of arranging this,”. (Elijah)she said, her tone light yet commanding.“You’ll eat properly today.”. (Elijah)I chuckled, guiding her to the table by the window.“You always know how to manage me, don’t you?”As we sat down to eat, the conversation shifted to lighter matters. Elijah’s grace and elegance made every interaction with her
“The Riverside Region will do just that. The fisheries will create jobs, stimulate local economies, and foster innovation in aquaculture. This isn’t just a project—it’s a movement toward a better future.”. (Andrea)As the meeting concluded, Andrea and the ministers were jubilant. Plans were already being set in motion to announce the news to the public, and excitement rippled through the Ministry.For me, the moment was bittersweet.“(Every step forward is a reminder of the distance yet to be traveled. But if the people can find joy in these small victories, then perhaps we’re on the right path.)”Sitting at the grand desk in the Ministry of Resource headquarters, I allowed myself a brief moment of satisfaction. Approving their proposals had been straightforward, but the significance of these decisions would ripple across Aeternum for years to come.“(This is what true leadership is about—empowering others to excel while maintaining control of the vision.)”I had barely spent an hour
