“By the way, Madam General….I still worried that you have given Colonel John a full authority on this matter…..well you know….that guy were just too stiff…especially when it comes to doing his job….”.(Major Nelly)“Well…I understand your concern, Nelly….but this…this is his job and it needs to be done…I believe he will do a great job on this matter….beside, that is also his good quality…he is incorruptible no matter what…”.(Grand General Bina)When it comes to Colonel John, his notoriety were well known within that Aeternum military, he is not a flexible person at all and always sticks to the books, which is a very rare but also commendable traits of his. For Major Nelly, she just concerned that by the end of the process, perhaps there were only a few of those prisoners would walked out of those trial alive, that is her main concerns.“Beside, this is an order by he President himself..to have him personally stepped up to the job…You know…Colonel John were actually the first certified
“So that is the story….seemingly those that were from that Unit…were all remarkable people…”.(Major Nelly)“They sure are…they were considered the first generation officers that were created by the President himself, to make sure our nation run properly….why?….do you want to be in that unit?..”.(Grand General Bina)At this point the way Major Nelly were looking a bit dazed at the moment, as she said so, made Bina smiled a little bit, after all, the outcome of that Unit under the president were remarkable, it was safe to say that to those that served under him directly will always get their career to be guaranteed to be succeed, and for sure for someone who chose the military as a career as Major Nelly, that is a big temptation.“...Can I?…”.(Major Nelly)“Dream on, Major…The President isn’t forming any special unit this time at all….beside, you are to big of help for me to just let you off the hook..”.(Grand General Bina)It was a bit shocking for Bina to actually listened that her he
As Major Nelly left her office and off to do whatever she were meant to do, on the other hand Bina were left alone in her office to chuckled for a moment for the funny moment that she hand with her assistant just now and back to resumed her work. And in that brief moment of silence, her work phone started to ring, as she picked up, the voice on the other hand were someone familiar to her.“[Hello, Bina…how is it over there?..]”.(Elijah)“Hello, Sis…everything is going just fine here…there is a little bit tangling here and there..but it worked out just fine….how about at your end..”.(Bina)“[Just the same…same old thing….]”.(Elijah)The phone call were able to made Bina relaxed a little bit as both of them took the time to just talked with each others as sisters, it was the kind of routine that they do a casual phone call with each other every now and then.“Oh yeah, sis….by the way…I sending, Master back home just now…just be sure to prepare for him….he got a lot of solution to our ov
“[So…basically, you suggest…that we should just sold those that did not get the death sentence to our allied nation…correct?…]”.(Elijah)“Yes…”.(Bina)“[And you fear that, Master might be slightly averse to the idea..correct?..]”.(Elijah)“Yeah….I just hope…I am not offending him or anything…you know I never meant it that way, sis..”.(Bina)“[I see…it is fine…if he said yes…then it is fine…that is just how he always is…Beside the choice that you have provided were the best anyway…you don’t have to worry about anything…beside if he was against it..he would say no on the spot….but, Bina….thanks for giving him this options…thanks to you….on my side…we will have more easier time to deal with our allied nations…]”.(Elijah)“Really, how’s my suggestion help you at all, sis?..”.(Bina)This time, it was Elijah time to explained what had happened on her end, it turns out that ever since that Aeternum had released the news that it had conquered the Eastern Region of Alemia Nation, every allied
Knowing that everything will be fine, Bina and Elijah conversation are started to get lighter and filled with smiles and laughter. On the hand, at Old Marlo and Remi side, their time has just started to become more and more merrier, back inside the Riverside Prison as the 2 got back from the office, their walk back has been halted a few times by the other prisoners that knows them, in the Prison, the Apprentices were actually a well known bunch. As at one time they were known to be their leaders, and at that time everyone looked up upon them and loved how they have been administering their towns and cities.But as the Baron took over and took them down, the people didn’t dared to put them on the pedestal ever again, as for the people they love the apprentice as their short time of ruling the people has brought nothing but peace and prosperity. Hence they can only silently support and helped the apprentice at every chances they got. Since supporting them and treated them as a leader be
“Hey! Ser Marlo!….can I asked you something?!..”.(Prisoner)“Sure, Ronny…what do you want to ask me about?…”.(Old Marlo)On old Marlo and Remi ways back to their barrack and were about to finally leave the Prison for good, they were stopped by a Prisoner that were sticking his head out at the window of their said barrack, wanting to asked a question to Old Marlo, and Marlo who is a well known figure in the prison community, per his old position and fame, also knows the guy, he is Ronny once before was a citizens of Sunders City of which Old Marlo personally know about.“I’ve seen you both leaving the soldiers office….are…you…..are you being released from the prison?..”.(Ronny)“That is the plan, Youngster….we are…all of the apprentice were being released…we have been pardoned by his highness the President himself, just now….you see…he had heard our story and kind and generous enough to all of us….I am sorry that the same kind of treatment cannot be done to you, Ronny…”.(Old Marlo)Old
Old Marlo is akin to a leader or a lord to many of the citizens of Sunders City at one time, and on top of that he was a respectable person and well beloved one at that, despite he isn’t some noble, he was given a title of overseer by the Aeternum and he has been doing his duty, to protect, manage and also care for the people and the city. So no matter how curious or anxious Ronny and the other prisoners are, they can’t just jump into the questions, so they tip toed around the matter for a little bit before jumping into the question at once. So at the moment, everyone were anxiously waiting for the answer from Old Marlo at the moment.For Ronny and the prisoners today they have watched 2 groups of people moving about at large in the Prison, the Apprentices that were going in and out of the Soldier offices and it seems that they were having a good time on their own, and then there is the Evil soldier faction, as the prisoners called it, and these people were also being move around the
“Those evil bunch?….”.(Old Marlo)“Yeah, Ser Marlo…don’t you see?…they were being take away..like , from the high noon until now…look right behind you….the already got to the middle of the prison now…”.(Ronny)“I can see that, Ronny…but don’t worry…it is something that should have been done a long time ago…it is not harmful to anyone at all…”.(Old Marlo)In the middle of their conversation, Old Marlo and Remi, upon being told about what is going on behind them turned their heads around and witnessed the scene, it was Aeternum soldier coming in and out of a barrack that were close to them and they were bringing prisoners into a truck, by now thbe prisoners that were taken away were a someone that were not at all unknown to Old Marlo, it was the man that is well known as a murderer, infamous in Sunders City, of which when entered the Baron Sunders Army just suddenly became his commanding officer and since then has been terrorizing him and the apprentice every since. So seeing that man b
In the heart of New City, the nerve center of Aeternum’s military operations—The Black House War Room—was abuzz with activity. Communication officers called out coordinates, screens lit up with battlefield updates, and every second was accounted for as the final stages of the Alemia campaign unfolded. Vice President Elijah, seated on the imposing Command Throne, presided over it all with her usual steely composure.But then, a phone rang—a call not routed through the usual secure military channels. The sudden interruption brought the entire room to a halt. All eyes turned to Elijah as she picked up the receiver.“This is Vice President Elijah,”she announced firmly.A familiar but timid voice greeted her.“Vice President Elijah… this is Queen Romella of Alemia.”The room fell into complete silence. Every officer present held their breath, straining to catch any hint of what was being said. The weight of the unexpected call hung heavily in the air.Elijah’s voice turned ice-cold, her t
Meanwhile, in the Aeternum camp, soldiers discussed the situation in hushed but animated tones. The transparency of the president’s leadership and the reports of the Alemia government’s incompetence had ignited a fiery determination among them.“Did you hear the latest report?”one soldier asked, leaning over his meal tray.“The queen herself admitted to being a puppet for the nobles. Can you believe that?”Another soldier scoffed.“It’s disgusting. They let their people starve and suffer while they live in luxury. No wonder Aeternum had to step in.”A younger recruit, still fresh to the army, spoke up hesitantly.“Do you think we’re really doing the right thing? Taking over an entire nation?”The veteran sitting next to him clapped him on the shoulder.“Kid, we’re not just taking over. We’re fixing what they broke. Look around you—this isn’t a war for power. It’s a war for justice.”The recruit nodded slowly, his doubts fading.“I just… I’ve never seen a leader like the president bef
“You know what I appreciate most about this war?”he asked, his voice thoughtful.“It’s the transparency. The president told us everything—why we’re here, what we’re fighting for. I’ve never served in an army like this before.”The others nodded in agreement.“That’s because there isn’t another army like this,”a veteran said proudly.“We’re not just fighting for a paycheck or some king’s ego. We’re fighting for something real—for justice, for the people who’ve been suffering under their rule.”The soldiers’ confidence was unshakable. They knew they were on the right side of history, and the enemy’s disarray only reinforced their belief in the righteousness of their cause. As the sun began to set, the Aeternum Army remained motionless, their lines unbroken, their discipline unwavering. On the horizon, the camps of Crown Prince Amariss and Queen Romella descended further into chaos, their once-proud armies teetering on the brink of collapse. Inside the Dragon One, I stood at the observ
On the Aeternum side, the mood couldn’t have been more different. The soldiers, aware of the psychological impact their stillness was having on the enemy, were brimming with confidence.“This is genius,”Private Luthar said, his voice filled with admiration.“The President doesn’t even need to lift a finger, and they’re already falling apart.”Sergeant Maia, a veteran soldier, nodded.“That’s why I serve him. He doesn’t just fight wars—he wins them before they even start.”Another soldier chuckled.“Can you imagine what they must be thinking right now? All those nobles and commanders, shaking in their boots, wondering when we’re going to strike. It’s beautiful.”The soldiers also appreciated the transparency I had shown by sharing the compiled evidence of Alemia’s crimes. For many, it reinforced their faith in Aeternum’s leadership and the righteousness of their cause.“I’ve served in armies before,”Corporal Darius said,“But never in one where the leader actually tells you why you’r
In the higher echelons of command, the reactions were just as impassioned. Grand General Bina and General Lucas, in particular, were vocal about their disgust."This is beyond negligence,"Bina said during a video conference."It’s a betrayal of everything a government is supposed to stand for. These people aren’t leaders—they’re parasites."Lucas, ever the fiery lion demi-human, growled in agreement."They’ve lost the right to govern. We’re not just here to fight a war—we’re here to restore dignity to this land. And by the time we’re done, Alemia will be a shining example of what Aeternum can achieve."Even General Eliza, known for her bubbly personality, was unusually serious."I’ve always thought of war as a necessary evil,"she said."But this? This is justice. And I can’t wait to see the look on those nobles’ faces when they realize their time is up."By the time the army resumed its march, every soldier was fully motivated, their spirits higher than ever. The Aeternum Army wasn’
"This is why we step up,"I said quietly, almost to myself but loud enough for everyone to hear."Because no one else will.""Aeternum leads,"Selie said, her voice steady."And we don’t falter,"Captain Lionel added. The room was silent once more, but this time it wasn’t somber. It was charged with purpose.As the clock ticked closer to the final battle, the Aeternum Army continued its march, undeterred and unwavering. On all fronts—north, south, east, and west—the troops advanced with a singular purpose: to bring justice, order, and prosperity to Alemia.For the first time in a long time, Alemia’s people would have something to believe in—a government that didn’t just promise change but delivered it.And as the Dragon One flew high above the battlefield, its presence a symbol of Aeternum’s strength and resolve, everyone knew that this was more than just a war. This was a turning point—a moment that would define not just Alemia’s future but the very essence of what Aeternum stood for
"Every time I read these reports, it makes my blood boil,"Captain Lionel, who was standing nearby, muttered. His fists were clenched at his sides, his anger barely contained.I nodded, my expression hardening."It’s unacceptable. This war, this suffering—it ends now."The reports from Baron Louise and Count Dracul only reinforced my resolve. Both sides were guilty. Their leaders were corrupt, their nobles complicit, and their soldiers nothing more than pawns in a game of greed and power. There was no redemption to be found in either faction."They have chosen their fates,"I said, my voice cold and final."They had every opportunity to rule justly, to care for their people, to avoid this war. Instead, they chose greed and tyranny. When we move forward, we do so with a clear conscience."Despite the clarity of my decision, there was no denying the gravity of the situation. The suffering of the Alemia people weighed heavily on everyone aboard the Dragon One. Around me, the bridge crew
"Your Excellency,"they said in unison."Stand,"the president ordered, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips."You’ve served Aeternum well. There’s no need for formalities here."As they rose to their feet, Baron Louise dared to speak."It is an honor to finally meet you, sir. I’ve waited a long time for this moment.""And I,"Count Dracul added,"Am humbled to stand before you."The president leaned forward, resting his elbows on the armrests of his throne."I’ve read the reports from Selie. Your contributions to this campaign have been invaluable.""Thank you, sir,"Louise said."But the work isn’t done,"the president continued, his tone growing serious."Your roles as messengers are not just a formality. You will return to your respective factions and deliver a clear message from Aeternum: the war ends now."Both men nodded."And if they refuse?"Dracul asked cautiously. The president’s gaze hardened."They won’t have a choice."The room fell silent, the weight of his w
"Baron Louise,"Count Dracul greeted, his voice low and even."Count Dracul,"Louise replied with a faint smirk.For a moment, they stared at each other in silence. Then, when they were certain no one could overhear them, both men let out soft chuckles."Of all the people they could have chosen,"Louise said, shaking his head,"They picked us."Dracul smirked."Poetic, isn’t it? Two of Aeternum's informers sent to negotiate on behalf of these fools."Louise let out a short laugh."It’s almost too easy.""Let’s not keep them waiting,"Dracul said, gesturing toward the Aeternum Army in the distance."The sooner we meet with the president, the sooner we can get back to work."Together, the two men rode toward the Aeternum frontlines, their hearts light with the knowledge that they were returning to their true allegiance.As they neared the Aeternum encampment, they were greeted by a group of soldiers, their imposing figures silhouetted against the setting sun. The soldiers didn’t speak,
