“I understand, Lucas….I already made sure of that…in my knowing…all those that I confirmed and assured that will support us and those that would be beneficial to us…all of them are already in my territory…so there is that…”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)As a Duke that have so many connections and support from his own faction, Lucas just want to remind his new friend to quickly move, as after the window of opportunity is closed, those friends of the Duke might potentially be dead after the war is over, so it is better not to take any chances at all.“If that so then that is good….there is less things for you to be worried about….you see…in the Cabinet and also in the Military….things are getting more intense by now….everyone were eager to end this battle faster…and the President didn’t want to prolonged these battle for far too long…you know….possible interference and stuff like that…”.(General Lucas)“Oh really?…they were that eager?..”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)“Yeah…you see, everyon
“Oh really?…they were that eager?..”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)“Yeah…you see, everyone were pissed off, because of the River Route got disturbed…we lost about 20% of our luxury merchandise…the entire time, and thus lower our monthly income for a bit…so a lot of people were mad as heck…Vice President Elijah…well, she is fuming with anger, the entire time…Minister Andrea, well…since her Ministry were the one that were affected the most….you can imagine just how furious the entire ministry was about that….”.(General Lucas)This is some internal secret level juicy gossip that Lucas were telling off, Duke Oliver who is a new rookie for the Cabinet members naturally haven’t yet figured out about this, as he is mostly operating from his territory the entire time, and perhaps only after the war has ended, only then he would be active in the Cabinet Hall, in New City. Still learning that the disrupt of River route pissed off a lot of big names in Aeternum sure comes as an eerie knowledge to
“Me and my family, heck even the entire territory were thankful to Princess Yggdrasil….you don’t have to worry about it, Lucas…”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)“Glad to know that….oh…and also, just so you know…the Princess…is actually a genius….sure she still a child and mostly do act like like one….but, do treat her like a Princess….ALWAYS!….that girl is like her father and mother…well…more like an upgrade version of Vice President Elijah….I once actually treated her like a kid…and got lectured by her in person…hahaha..”.(General Lucas)“I know that already….I have the honour to meet her personally…she is undoubtedly a unique soul…”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)That’s another tidbits that Lucas shared about the Aeternum Royal Family, which not something that many knows about. Both of the gentlemen knows that such ‘genius’ labeled were not at all and exaggeration for the princess as she truly deserved that title.Compared to the 2 other battlefield, Gust territory were calm and serene, th
As the 3 of Aeternum war front were in their own current situation, meanwhile in Aeternum, New City, the entire Aeternum Government body were rejuvenated, when the news of the President coming back home from the front lines were spread all over the Black House and all the government buildings. Even the Vice President were seen leaving the Black House with her motorcade, heading straight to the New City International Airport. Seeing such a large commotion were going on, the people were naturally excited and at the same time, when the news were let out, the Radio also picked up the news about the President return, which in turns, in a few minutes, the public were already gathering at the Airport, to make a grand welcome for the president, thus brighten the day for the Aeternum populace.For Vice President Elijah and her entourage, naturally getting to the airport first and went to welcome the President were her duty, not just as the Vice President, but also as a loyal subject and also t
“...I heard that, even until now…there is a lot of rats from the empire still haven’t give up to try to enter our border…”.(Elijah)“Yeah…there were a few of them everyday….tried to masked themselves at every facets….but we detected them every single time….at this point, it is a wonder to me as to why they haven’t given up yet…”.(Mina)Ever since the empire spies has failed on their first attempt to enter Aeternum, and their failure of a robbery attempt at the first ever auction in Aeternum. The Battle Star Empire Spies activities seems to ramp up, instead of them taking a smart decision and back off a little bit. What had happened was, the Spies has now getting even more eager to enter Aeternum, and this attempt, each and every time it happened has been failed by Mina own Ministry. Naturally this type of attempted break in were kept secret from the public, as each spies that were captured were all sent to the A.C.I.A detention centre, where the A.C.I.A will take the prisoners and do
“Well….the clueless and idiotic type….but I am sure that at these point, the one that were that level of clueless and idiots…is not the Spies…but rather the one behind it…”.(Elijah)“The one behind them?….”.(Mina)“Yes…..the Emperor of Battle Star Empire….That man, was an Emperor…and to be honest…their Spies were actually one of the best in the Central Continent…so when we actually stopped them the first time….I supposed…that did not do well for his ego, I guess….”.(Elijah)“So instead of acknowledging and backing off…he got furious and just ignored his people advice and kept coming up with pointless order?…”.(Mina)“..yeah…”.(Elijah)Although it might sounded rather absurd for such thing to be the cause of the Empire kept sending their Spies to infiltrate a nation, that already proved to be beyond their capability. The truth of the matter was, this is truly the reason, for the many people in the position of power in Fantasma, they tend to not react logically to denial and reje
“All thanks to that egoistic Emperor, throwing his people on us….A.C.I.A has managed to get a lot of new trainee agents…with their constant reminder from their own boss that clearly stated to them the entire time that they were more than expandable piece to the Empire….we managed to swayed almost 90% of the agents we detained…”.(Elijah)“Well….aren’t that backfired at the Empire a bit too big..right?..”.(Mina)“Correct…with a little bit of probing and persuasion…my agents able to opened their eyes…and made them accept that they were nothing but a mere tool…for the empire and the emperor…then after we showed how we treated our agents and our people here in Aeternum….they flipped instantly…”.(Elijah)Whilst Elijah were smiling at the moment, clearly enjoying her small victory in these messed up situation, Mina contemplated for a moment, and have a deep thought about the issues. There are a lot of reason as to why those empire agents was easily converted into Aeternum agents, it is becau
“I am glad..it’s all worked out for you, Sister Elijah…gaining the service of those veteran agents…surely will boost, the A.C.I.A strength even more….”.(Mina)Mina is genuinely happy for Elijah, after all, everyone knows just how hard it is to gain a competent intelligence agents, and the one that is usable at that.“Thank You, Mina…though those agents still have to go through a lot of training to get used to our ways….but sure enough compared to training a blank slate agents…training them were much faster and we can use them much earlier…so despite the insufferable Emperor attitude and actions…at the very least…in some part he made our job much more easier…I am very thankful for that…”.(Elijah)“hahaha…if the Emperor heard what you just said…I am sure that his mouth would be frothing in anger and high blood pressure….he just unknowingly empowered the enemy that he wanted to suppress….Hahaha…”.(Mina)Mina and Elijah chuckled at the irony, lambasting the idiotic, Battle Star Empire and
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
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
