As Commander Barika and the Navy Marine Division 01 were moving forward and started to scour the entire Pearl City. Back inside the Navy Warship Command, Admiral Duchess Kolarova Qoon were calmly overlooking the entire battlefield, for Duchess Kolarova Qoon is nor one that is foreign to battle and war, but even for her, the style of modern battlefield, that Aeternum practice and the modern weaponry that Aeternum posses, totally had caught her off guard. Never in her wildest thought to witness that the cannon that she knew to be the weakest of the artillery canon on the ships, were able to just blasted through the entire western wall of the Pearl City, in just a single salvo.“Looks like Commander Barika were at it again……and…..we have come ashore…..all Navies Unit has come ashore and formed the attack front…”.(Colonel Aida Oneal)On the Screen, inside the main cabin of the Warship command, some of the display monitor were showing the entire battlefield, all the airship has been deploy
Inside the norther region of the Pearl City, where the noble’s Streets were located as well as the city administration centre were, The Situation inside this particular area were just in full alert. When the Western wall has fallen, and then the Aeternum attacks spread through out the entire city in a blitz style fashion. The soldiers and guards of the city, they all ran towards these area, in both wanting to defend it as per their duty and also to seek for safety and order. In front of the City Administration centre, the Pearl City Guards and Soldiers were all over the place, and of the many, about 70% of those that were here were all badly injured.“W…what happened to the Western, Southern and Eastern Region of the city?…is..is all of them has fell to the enemy?…”.(Baron Julian Pearl)The news of Aeternum Navy has attacked the city, were not an old news at all, for the entire city. Baron Julian Pearl, is the heir to Count Pearl, and also his Son in Law, and also the Commander of the
From the moment, Aeternum came to attack the Pearl City, and from the second the western wall fall, everyone in the city already knows and convinced that the Pearl City has already lost and defeated. For the Pearl City Guards and Soldiers, as well as all the noble that led the city, especially Baron Julian Pearl, it was only a matter of time, when the Aeternum would arrived before them and their fates will be decided by the victor of this particular battle. But then the fast advancing Aeternum army, suddenly just stopped, shy away from their decisive victory. And thus when the Aeternum army just suddenly stopped moving and advance, to end the battle that would be definitely ended on their side, Everyone, including Baron Julian Pearl, were baffled by the sudden stoppage.“The Aeternum soldiers has stopped moving forward!…”.(Pearl City Soldier)“Huh?…why?….what is going on?…”.(Baron Julian Pearl)“I don’t know, My Lord……they just suddenly stopped moving forward all of a sudden….they hav
“HMPH!…spineless as always!…tell them we surrendered when they came to us…it worked out once…and this time it will too………You….Huh?…what is that?….”.(Countess Hillary Pearl)Whilst everyone were annoyed and filled with anger by Countess Hillary Pearl, that just decided on her own to come out and berated everyone before her. Their conversation and the entire atmosphere of the area around the front of the City Hall were brought to screeching halt, as Countess Hillary Pearl oddly stopped in her mid sentences and looked up to the sky in bewilderment, her gesture and action were so odd, that everyone were also doing the same thing as her and looked up to the sky, and upon their findings, everyone just stunned at the sightings.“...What in the hell is that?…”.(Baron Julian Pearl)“It was like a fireball spell……but why is it so fast?…..and…is it heading right at us?….”.(Knight Deputy Rogers)Up in the sky, trailing in a perfect parabola arc, everyone can see a bright light flying in the sky,
In Pearl City, the second as the missile explodes all over the Northern end of the city, the bright lights, booming sounds and also the shock-waves that were produces by the explosion woke up the entire city itself. The city inhabitants that has been obeying Aeternum army command to stay in their homes and cooperates, can only looked out of their windows and observed as the Northern end of the city being bombarded to oblivion. As for the reaction to this event, for the people of Pearl City, it was a little bit of mixed, more like 90% were happy with it and 10% were worried and also disheartened by this bombing. But one thing that is confirmed for sure that to many, they were seeing the fall of the Northern region of the city, as a brand new start for the entire city.“.….Is that it?…….so now….the Count Pearl reign has ended?…”.(Old Mark)A the porch of an old store that were at the edge of the Central Region of the city that is at the entrance of the Northern Region, Mark was an old m
Just like the relief and smiles that were on Old Mark faces when the sight of the Northern End of the city were blown up, meant that the city is now liberated from their dark times and the oppressive rules, that is surely will now begin a new era in the city. The rest of the Pearl City were also in the same mood as well, everyone already get over the fact that the nobles and the ruler of the city are dead and there soon will be a changed in scenario and atmosphere in the city. Hence rather than tension and fear, the atmosphere in the entire city changed to rather excitement and anticipation, in the eyes of the people that were overlooking and observing the Aeternum soldiers that were on the street, dealing with the remaining Pearl City Guards and soldiers, or even those soldiers that were moving about everywhere.The people no longer sees them with fears and uncertainty in their eyes, but rather a calm gaze and everyone just seems to be waiting for the Aeternum moves. But fears is no
When anyone lays an eye to the once known place as the Pearl City, City Hall which is now only remained as a large crater. Everyone would come to a decision that no one that were hit in that crater would ever be alive and kicking by now. The explosion has obliterated everything that can be harm with a surety, when Commander Barika and Major Orel arrived at the scene, all that they can do is just whistled, as surely no one would be alive from that kind of explosions. But often time, when it comes to a fantasy world that is filled with magics, nothing really goes as one wanted, as these magics can sometime defy logic.“We were able to secured Baron Julian Pearl body….well he is dead already by now….but…here is the body…”.(Aeternum Marine)“Wow…it stayed intact, even after that?..”.(Major Orel)Major Orel as well as other soldiers that were on the scene were astound as well, Baron Julian Pearl Body were still fully intact, with no limbs disappeared at all. But once the pulse were checke
In Pearl City, for the entire morning it can be said that that time were one of the most tense period of time in their lives. From early morning to the noon, the war were still undergoing in full swing, but then after the noon, the sound on the city started to slowed down. Naturally the inhabitants of the city were still not allowed to get our of their home. And Aeternum soldier can be seen all over the roads patrolling and rounding up the Pearl City Soldiers and guards, and every time the people peer out to the streets, all that they can see were Aeternum soldiers and their machinery were all over the places and also the Airships were also up on the sky, comes and goes.At the same time, in the Northern Region of the Pearl City, a massive cleaning up and land clearance were on progress. The Aeternum Navy engineers were on the full swing at the moment, to set up a Forward Operating Base, for the Southern Region of Alemia Nation. Pearl City will be the main base of Aeternum force in th
“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
