The entire preparation took Aeternum 2 and a half weeks from announcing to go to war, all the way to prepared for the after war care. All the troops are ready for deployments from their gears, ammunition, training and their self preparation it only took Bina and her entire military branch just one week, all the economic industry and the domestic preparation took only 2 weeks, for everything to just run perfectly during and after the war. As for the invasion planning and protocol, it took only 1 and a half week to prepared, step by step and calculation of everything. Under my order and Elijah as well as the sister careful observation and management, we managed to prepared the entire nation for war, much faster than any government ever done on earth. And Aeternum preparation were very detailed and it was unlike any government on Fantasma ever achieved.“...So what do you think?….do we all performed as you expected us to be…or even better?..”.(Elijah)Elijah were fixing my tie as we both
Everyone were very positive as Aeternum went through its preparation passage in these last few days, because all thanks to the Aeternum upper echelon, Duke Oliver Gust as well as all the named leaders in the government saw how the Ministers and the President do their due diligence when it comes to this war. They have never seen, a leaders do these kind of detailed planning when it comes to war, no one ever really planned a sufficient planning to make sure the entire nation would run for months perfectly during and after the war, letting the entire government able to freely not think about the war and those that had to think about the war, can just simply focused on fighting their fights.When the detailed plans about the war reached every single person in this Conference room, all of them were simply astound with it, and soon they were very confident that Aeternum would be just fine no matter what storm hit them. For Queen Aqeesha, Queen Zanesia and Duke Oliver Gust as a leader of the
For most nation government official, usually when it comes to a topic of war, and at the discussion point at the end of it, where a nation is making it’s final confirmation and saying the last words before going to war, the atmosphere were always somber and sometimes depressing, if not it was filled with anger and dispute. But as the door opened, the first reaction and expression that I saw from all the members of the room were just all smile and positivity. Duke Oliver got a wide sincere smile on his face, Queen Aqeesha had that usual eager smile of when she were about to fight someone and the rest of the Minister were just smile as they always does.“Your Highness President…Madam Vice President, good morning…”.(Governess Countess Jelina)“Morning Jelina…Thanks, Andrea….Morning everyone~..”.As we entered the room, of the left side, of the seat, was led by Jelina who went towards both me and Elijah to greet us, She naturally took Elijah tablet and files that she had on her hand, and
Everyone in the room were mildly surprised when they heard that the Eastern Region biggest city at the moment, the Sunders City were already under controlled by Aeternum Military, but for Duke Oliver it was as if he was shocked to the core. No one really knows for sure just how strong Baron Sunders army were and just before, Aeternum were certainly hit hard by them, so when it was mentioned that we already have a good grasp on the enemy, Duke Oliver just never anticipated this kind of a twist.“Wait did Minister Bina just said that we already in the process of making a siege on the Sunders City?..”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)“I believed so…yes, we are…well…actually not that we are actually commencing the siege already….hmm…Bina…mind expanding on the topic a little bit?..…”.Duke Oliver are really taken aback by these whole thing, on the other hand everyone were all rather calm at the moment, they were shock but not that astound by it, it was as if for them this kind of development is
The plans to let the Adventurer association and mercenary association to lighten the burden of the Military when it comes to Dungeon and Monster population, is something that is experimental. The decision to utilized and use the dungeon to it’s full potential from the training of troops to harvesting special materials, is something that I never expected to be taking a lot of effort to do so. Even so, until now I stand by my decision to do so, it is because dungeon benefits is simply too good to just left it behind.But at the moment, since Aeternum were about to focus it’s goals towards the war, the dungeon industry would unfortunately be slightly abandoned, and for that it was something that I cannot let it happened. After all, Dungeon break is something that can threat the peace and safety of Aeternum domestic, which is something that should never ever happened. So, for this problem, I come up with a solution and that is to make use of the free and unaccountable workforce, that is a
It all thanks to me, that were able to think outside the box from any usual Fantasma natives, to think that we can actually use Dungeon that is very well known to be a thing of a disaster, to an industry that can contributes to millions of Credits. By now, I am sure that only Aeternum would see a dungeon and see it as a property and profits generating things, rather than a repulsive stuff that only need to be destroyed. Since I took a step to think like this, Many of Aeternums both officials and the citizens now have a good impression on dungeons. In fact, to nobles in Aeternum that had a land, and found out there were dungeons on their land, they were happy and delighted by it as they can sell it to the government at a high price.Thanks to these new outlook on Dungeons, I even had to create a new department in the Resource Ministry called Dungeon Management Department, that specialized in managing all the dungeons in Aeternum, in fact as to this date, the Dungeon Management Departme
When I aired the question of who had something to say, everyone in the room were stifled as Duke Oliver Gust who is now the Governor Duke Oliver, suddenly opened his mouth. Since it was a war of Aeternum against Alemia Nation, his own country, surely there will be something that he wanted to say about it, still it does gave out and awkward moment for everyone, even for me, who knows maybe he got a second thought about everything, not that it would change anything at these point but, it would make a lot of thing become more awkward.“I do have something to say…”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)“...Alright, please…do speak…”.I looked at him and gave him a serious reaction, the man If he got some issued would make the entire room feel at odd.“So…do we just kill the queen and the Crown prince or just one of them?..Hahahaha…what you all think that I would just suddenly turned back on everything?!…hahaha…”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)The second he speaks, it brought laughter through out the r
Closure and sense of retributions is what is to be achieved by capturing the enemy leaders and brought them to justice, the fact that the people of Alemia Nation has suffered for far too long and they too need something or someone to bear their grudges, is something that need to be said and considered. As I said so and now they heard the reason as to why I wanted to do the hassle for just not killing the captives, or rather the soon to be captives, everyone in the room went into silence and contemplation, as if all f them found some moment of amazement for them.“The people has suffered for a long time….and I am sure that they all just full and seething with anger and dissatisfaction at this point…..in fact, some might even don’t know who to blame for their misfortune after so long being in the dark….Since we are about to help them out…why not do it with more sincerity….rather than be one of those that rose to the power like they all know before….right?..”.My tone were light at the m
“Then let’s make history. Order the Navy Fleet 01 to launch three additional Type-1 Missiles. Targets: The East, North, and West gates of the capital.”The entire command bridge fell into stunned silence.Every officer, every technician, every strategist momentarily froze. Their eyes flickered with a mix of shock and anxiety as they processed my command. Even the seasoned veterans among them seemed momentarily taken aback.It was one thing to deploy a single missile.But three at once?That wasn’t just warfare—it was an annihilation order.Bina, Lucas, and Eliza, who had been following the situation via video conference, immediately reacted. Their holographic images flickered on the massive display before me, each one expressing their own unique emotions.Bina, ever the stoic and composed tactician, furrowed her brows, tapping her fingers against the table.“Mr. President… I assume you understand the full implications of this move?”I met her gaze without hesitation.“I do. This is th
At 6:45 AM, the order was given. Admiral Duchess Kolarova, commanding the Navy Fleet from the southern front, initiated the launch sequence. The missile streaked across the sky like a comet, its white trail a harbinger of devastation.From the Dragon One, I stood on the bridge, watching intently as the missile’s trajectory was displayed on the holographic screens. My officers around me held their breath, anticipation thick in the air.A few moments later, the missile hit its mark. The explosion that followed was nothing short of spectacular. The Alemia Capital City gates were obliterated, along with the surrounding walls and everything within a 100-meter radius. Dust and debris rose into the sky like a dark mushroom cloud, blotting out the early morning sun.The impact was beyond what any of us had anticipated. The "lowest-grade" missile had proven to be anything but low-grade.The news of the missile strike spread like wildfire through the Aeternum ranks. Soldiers, commanders, and of
BOOM!The object slammed into the city gates, unleashing a deafening explosion that shook the ground beneath their feet. The shockwave rippled outward, sending soldiers sprawling and shattering windows across the city. Dust and debris filled the air as the once-mighty gates crumbled into a smoking ruin.Amariss stumbled backward, his sword clattering to the ground as he stared in horror at the devastation.“What… what is this? What is happening?!”he stammered, his voice trembling with fear. In the distance, the Aeternum Navy Fleet stood poised, their warships bristling with firepower. The single missile had been a warning—a demonstration of Aeternum’s overwhelming strength and precision. And it had achieved its purpose.The soldiers of Amariss’s army, already demoralized and terrified, broke ranks almost immediately. Dropping their weapons and abandoning their positions, they fled in every direction, their panic spreading like wildfire.“Come back! COME BACK, YOU COWARDS!”Amariss sc
“The reports… the soldiers… they are abandoning their posts. Even the Prime Minister has—”“I know,”she interrupted, her voice calm but laced with resignation.“Let them go. They were never loyal to me to begin with.”Her Royal Knight Commander, Lucas Perdue, entered moments later, his face grim.“Your Majesty, the palace remains secure for now, but the city is unraveling. The people are heeding Aeternum’s call, not ours. And the army… they’ve lost the will to fight.”The Queen closed her eyes, taking a deep breath.“Lucas, prepare for the inevitable. Lock down the palace. Imprison those who remain loyal to the Prime Minister and the other schemers. And… prepare for my surrender to Aeternum.”Lucas hesitated, his hand tightening on the hilt of his sword.“Are you certain, Your Majesty? To surrender is to admit—”“To admit that we’ve failed,”she finished for him.“Yes. Because we have failed. And the longer we cling to this throne, the more my people suffer….it is of no point to figh
Back at the frontlines, as soldiers readied themselves for the final march, they were moved by the reports circulating from command. The evidence of Alemia’s corruption and the suffering of its people only solidified their resolve. Around campfires and inside armored vehicles, soldiers shared their thoughts openly.One young soldier spoke with determination:“It’s not just about winning the war. We’re here to do something right—to fix what’s broken.”Another nodded, clenching her rifle tightly.“The President and the Vice President have never hidden anything from us. They’ve told us why we’re fighting, and that’s why I’d follow them anywhere.”Even the most hardened veterans were touched by the weight of their mission. One grizzled commander, looking out at the stars, muttered to himself,“We’re not just soldiers. We’re builders of a better future.”As the evening turned to night, a quiet anticipation spread across Aeternum and the liberated regions of Alemia. Farmers working their fi
“[To the citizens of Aeternum, know this: our soldiers, our leaders, and our government are united in our cause. We fight not for conquest, but for liberation. We fight to bring light to a land that has known darkness for far too long. And we fight because we believe in a better future for all.]”As she reached the conclusion of her address, Elijah’s voice softened slightly, carrying a note of hope.“[Let us move forward together—with courage, with resolve, and with the knowledge that we are on the side of justice. Aeternum stands as a beacon of hope, and together, we will bring peace to Alemia Nation. Thank you, and may we all stay safe in the hours ahead.]”The response to Elijah’s address was immediate and palpable. Across Aeternum, workers paused their tasks, families huddled around radios, and soldiers standing in the encampments felt a renewed sense of purpose.In one bustling Aeternum farm, a group of farmers stood together, their hands still muddy from the fields, listening in
“This is why I serve Aeternum,”he said.“Our government doesn’t hide anything from us. The President shows us the truth—the corruption, the suffering, everything. We’re not here for conquest. We’re here to fix what’s broken.”A sergeant nearby nodded.“And the Crown Prince? He deserves everything that’s coming to him. My wife is from Alemia, and she told me stories of what that man has done—taxing people into starvation while throwing lavish parties. It’s disgusting.”Another soldier, a former immigrant from Alemia, added,“It’s not just him. The entire royal family let this happen. But the fact that the President is willing to spare Queen Romella and preserve a part of Alemia’s heritage? That shows we’re not here to destroy—we’re here to rebuild.”Even the officers echoed similar sentiments. In the command tent, a group of captains discussed the decision over steaming mugs of coffee.“This is why we’re different,” one of them said.“Other nations would have razed Alemia to the groun
“What do you want to do, Your Excellency? Should we accept her surrender?”I exhaled slowly, feeling the weight of the decision before me.“We’ll accept it,”I said finally.“But under our terms. She will relinquish everything, including her dignity as a monarch. She’ll serve as an example of what happens when leaders fail their people. Let her live—but only just enough to remind everyone of the cost of her failures.”Elijah’s tone softened, a hint of respect in her voice.“Understood. I’ll finalize the arrangements and have her surrender publicly acknowledged at the right time. This war is finally nearing its end.”I sat back in my chair, my gaze drifting to the reports strewn across my desk. The Alemia Nation, a land plagued by incompetence and corruption, was finally crumbling. Its remnants would soon be swept away by the strength and unity of Aeternum. In the background, the low hum of Dragon One’s engines served as a steady reminder of the impending victory. The final steps were
“It’s over,”she announced, her voice echoing through the chamber.“The Alemia Royalty Faction has fallen—quietly, and without resistance.”The officers in the war room erupted into a flurry of activity, relaying the monumental news across Aeternum’s military network. But amidst the chaos, there was an undercurrent of somber resolve.“This is why Aeternum must lead,”one officer murmured to his colleague.“Their so-called queen waited until the very end to take responsibility—and only when her back was against the wall.”Another officer nodded.“At least she’s surrendering. But the damage is done. Her people have suffered for far too long. It’s time we clean up this mess.”Elijah listened to their hushed conversations; her expression unreadable. Though her demeanor was calm and composed, a storm of thoughts churned within her mind. She knew that this surrender, while significant, was only the beginning. The real work—rebuilding Alemia and bringing it under Aeternum’s banner—was yet to
