“I am telling the truth, Ronny…this time, the Justice has come….and I am truly believed…that by the time that this war is over…..our land will surely be cleansed of evil and injustice….Aeternum….no….our Aeternum…will surely brought the light of change on this very land….”.(Old Marlo)Like a kind old man, Old Marlo put his hand on Ronny shivering shoulder, and finally he had surely planted the seed of change inside the young man heart and soul.“Thank you, Ser Marlo…”.(Ronny)“Hey…don’t thank me, Ronny…thank the Aeternum Government….and by the way….you and your lads should really think about the future after you get out of here….I suggest….you all to learn more about Aeternum and how to become a good citizens of Aeternum….”.(Old Marlo)“Huh?…become a good citizens of Aeternum?…why is that so, Ser Marlo?…”.(Ronny)“Well….do you think that when this war is over…everything will stay the same as it was before?….no…of course it is not…..believe me when I say this….Aeternum will win this war
“Well….do you think that when this war is over…everything will stay the same as it was before?….no…of course it is not…..believe me when I say this….Aeternum will win this war once and for all….and when that moment comes…..this land will forever be under the rule of His highness President….this land will then be apart of Aeternum governance…”.(Old Marlo)Now that is an eye opening statement from Old Marlo that Ronny and all of his fellow did not anticipate at all, they have been too invested on being a prisoners of this Riverside Prison and enjoying the comfort that the prison had given them that they have simply forgotten to think about their future, and what they wanted to do next. By now they already know for certain that Aeternum should be able to win this war by a big margin, how, that is because they have went against Aeternum soldiers and had lost spectacularly, winning the war, that will be much more easier.So when Old Marlo said these words, their concerned about the mass ev
“Umm…..Ser Marlo…..what should I do?……I still want to live here….on this land….what should I do..ser?..”.(Ronny)With a slight panic in his eyes, Ronny turned to the wisest man he know and that is the person before him that asked him the question. Listening the query of a young man before him, Old Marlo were more than pleased to answer him.“It is simple, Ronny….all you have to do…is learn…study, and dedicated yourself…to become an Aeternum citizens…….REFORMED YOURSELF!….soon…soon the wardens…will be commencing the citizenship training for all of the prisoners here…and you should truly commit yourself to do that training….and if you do that….”.(Old Marlo)“and if I do that?…”.(Ronny)“And if you do that…..by the time you got out….then you surely become a new person again…and this time a rightfully and permitted Aeternum citizens…and finally…FINALLY….all of your sins of fighting Aeternum will be abolished…and once again…this land will accept you back….”.(Old Marlo)The way, Old Marlo p
Everyone were smiling right now, with all the distressed has been settle, the conversation has become much lighter now.“Oh by the way..it would be great if you can spread these words to others as well….we definitely don’t want any sort of ugly rumour going around right?….there are a few of those that were rash in action….we don’t want them to get in Aeternum soldiers way…lest, it was them that would be in trouble next for no good reason at all…”.(Old Marlo)“Worry not, Ser Marlo…me and fellow men will surely spread the news about this….I can assure you, by the end of today…everyone in this prison will know about this!…”.(Ronny)“Ohohoh…thank you, Young Ronny….please do so…”.(Old Marlo)The conversation between Old Marlo, Remi and Ronny together with his fellow young prisoners ended with a good note. And true to his words, by the late afternoon, the entire prison knows about what is truly transpire through out the day, and everyone were supporting Aeternum soldiers for doing so, and a
“I guess, we can thanks the apprentice for what they have done…”.(Grand General Bina)“Sure enough…then, should I also tell this to the Southern Base prison?…I am sure they wanted to hear it and also performed the same thing on their end…”.(Major Nelly)“Sure, let’s informed them as well….we need to make sure they also have the same result as us…by then I am sure that this will be helpful back home…”.(Grand General Bina)“I will do it at once, Madam General…”.(Major Nelly)Since things had working out in the Riverside Prison, it was time to spread the news to the Southern Base Prison, after all, in Pearl City, where the Aeternum Navy has already conquered and in the middle of grabbing hold of the entire southern region of Alemia, on their side, their prison were more and the same, as the Riverside Prison situation, and perhaps, compared to the Riverside Prison, the Pearl City Prison is much more packed in population.The reason as to why there are more people there, is because of the
Since things had working out in the Riverside Prison, it was time to spread the news to the Southern Base Prison, after all, in Pearl City, where the Aeternum Navy has already conquered and in the middle of grabbing hold of the entire southern region of Alemia, on their side, their prison were more and the same, as the Riverside Prison situation, and perhaps, compared to the Riverside Prison, the Pearl City Prison is much more packed in population.The reason as to why there are more people there, is because of the Navy approach to the war, the navy attacks were so fast and so vicious that it instilled fear and demoralized the enemy soldier in a single wave, it comes to the point where when the Admiral Duchess advance with her forces toppling towns and city after the others, the news of her advances has become so wide spread, that when the Aeternum military arrived on any city or town, what had happened was, the enemy were already surrendering themselves at the front gate, before any
“Hello…this is Aeternum Navy, Colonel Aida speaking….Oh, Major Nelly~….how is the Riverside is doing?…”.(Colonel Aida Oneal)If on the Grand General Bina side there were Major Nelly, on the Navy side of Admiral Duchess, Colonel Aida Oneal were there. Colonel Aida Oneal were naturally the adamant follower of Duchess Kolarova, even when serving in the Aeternum Navy she stuck herself on her side at all times, and at the moment, she is the one that is managing the Pearl City Prison, which is a prison that were at the edge of the Pearl City. The Prison had actually long passed it capacity and now had to be expanded and thus occupying the city outskirts. Still for the Navy this problem although just a bit of a headache, for the Eloesan People they did not care much about them, after all a prisoners should be treated as one and they deserved to be treated as such. So despite the overpopulation of the prison on the Navy side, they didn’t even affected by much.“So…you were saying that on your
For Colonel Aida this news is very shocking after all, both prison had the same problem, they both understand about it as everyday there will always be a new prisoners that will be caught and be imprisoned, but it seems that the other side got their issues addressed fairly quickly.“[Actually…His Highness President came to visit us, in the morning…and since then we discussed about the issues and comes up with a proven solutions…wanna hear it?..]”.(Major Nelly)“Are you kidding me?…of course I want to hear it…stop dilly dallying, Nelly…speak..”.(Colonel Aida Oneal)“[Wow…Aida…you’re so stiff….sheesh..you are no fun at all….it has been a long time since we talk you know…can’t we chat a little bit first?..]”.(Major Nelly)“God, you are so annoying, Nelly….just spurt it out already…”.(Colonel Aida Oneal)Both of them were friends after all, they both served in the Military and both of them were the assistant of sort to their respected leader. And for Nelly the social butterfly she was kno
“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
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
