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
Feeling the heated gaze of admiration for everyone inside the meeting room, I rather felt really awkward at the moment. Nevertheless everyone seems to be very proud of who they are and the fact that they are working for me to serve the nation and it’s people, In a manner of patriotism and loyalty to me, this people certainly have that notion and quality in them that is already undoubtedly unshakable. From the start of the meeting as we all review every aspect of the preparation for war, everything were already in it’s place and all ready for me to give the command, as with the current preparation that are already ready, all that we need is to win the war and that is it.“Ladies and Gentlemen, I am sure that after all that we have listened and reviews regarding our nation preparation….I must say, that I am very proud of your achievements…I acknowledge and understand..that my order and request are really tall this time….but let me assured you all….that it was a necessary one..”.In the
Right after the meeting, everyone went back to their duty, as for me, I took a little bit of time off, and went for a walk in the city with Duke Oliver Gust. At the meeting today, I can certainly noticed that amongst everyone that attended the meeting his emotional state were the one that is very much fluctuated at every moment when I were saying something. Although that fluctuation isn’t something defiant of me at all, rather that he was in a turbulence since Aeternum finally going to move against Alemia Nation, and for certain war is always going to changed a lot of things, this would perhaps be a good thing for him or perhaps not, hence I have to settled his emotional state down.As of right now, we are taking a stroll, inside of Yggdrasil Shopping Mall, and currently stopping in front of the famous ice cream parlor in the mall and the city, Royal Robin Ice Cream Shop. Naturally from the name it is a store that belonged to me and the Aeternum Royal Family, in fact this mall is actu
Whilst all over Aeternum, the words of the war is already a final one, in Alemia Nation, which more accurately all over the entire nation. The situation were mostly still the same as it is, which is chaotic and just unstable as it always does be it in the time of war or not.At sunders City, Eastern Alemia Region, Sunders City were considered to be the largest and most secured city in the Eastern Region, why, because it hosted the Famous tyrant of the Eastern Region, Baron Sunders and his entire family. The city got it’s famous 2 storey tall stone wall, that is fully guarded at all time as it’s famous and proud security. Then paired with the subservient and docile population that always bowed their heads to the tyrant, the Family of Sunders felt as if that they were the king of the world.Although for the last few days, that serene and secure feeling that they enjoyed, after the last civil war, that took 60% of the Eastern Alemia region away from the Alemia Nation to the Aeternum, the
Whist Baron Sunders and his sons with all his closest aide inside the Master Study room discussing what is going on in the entire world, and whether it would come crashing down on them, due to their own stupidity. Right Outside the room, 2 maids, one of them were clearly that higher ranks of the 2, nodded at the other maid before both of them just steadily walked away in a different direction, as if nothing ever happened. Castle Baron Sunders, is a large estate, building with many floors and wide, that hosted many people living in it, and certainly the servants were also many, reaching even hundreds of staffs. And all these staff were covered from many different class, from the lowest of slaves to the abandoned noble, all of them living their daily lives serving the Sunders Family.One would thought that these people that worked everyday in this estate were probably loyal, most of them perhaps, but the reality of it is far from any of it. In fact inside the Castle Baron Sunders, all o
Currently inside of Aeternum secret hidden base, Ava, The Baron Sunders family head maid, are right now talking in one of the Iron Horn Division Captain, Jolgun, he was the designated operation leader for the Aeternum army in Sunders City. Under Captain Jolgun, he and his team has been monitoring the entire city, when they were tasked with these duty from their chief, Holgun. They were apart of a secret operation team of the M.I Agency, naturally they were elite of the elite. Since Captain Jolgun took the command of the Aeternum Military stationed in the city, they have been actively recruiting locals to their cause.How they did it, is rather simple, the people of Sunders City, is already fed up with their lords, filled with anger towards their baron for everything that is wrong in their lives. With that mentality from the locals and paired with Aeternum famous good reputation amidst the locals, thanks to the once Aeternum peace and prosper governing in their distance memory. The loc
“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
