Floris City, 23 Hours before arriving at Golden Triangle City.
Floris Hotel, VIP room.
My arrival has actually being informed to the Free Nation of Triangle Guild Council before hand by my ambassador there, Anna one of the member of the Maiden Unit, M10. But still, in my mind I do have a thought that my arrival will cause a bit of frantic. Because I arrived with a flying city hovering in the air, as we were coming near to the Golden Triangle City vicinity, nearing it’s left side of the gate where my diplomat were located, everyone on board can already hear the chaos and the frantic of the city populate down below.
The inside of the Council Building were as magnificent as the exterior, it was lavishly decorated with expensive decorations, golden gilded furniture that uses only the finest woods. But still it is furnished resembled a Noble mansion or a King castle, impressive but not that enamour to me. With me, I only have Anna and about 5 of her Consulate soldiers as an entourage, a fairly small crowd for someone who in a status like me.
Cortona Van Ruby is the biggest Slave trader in the Free Nation of Triangle Guild and probably one of the oldest merchant that has been dwell in this kind of business the longest, by this time it was no longer hard to say that she was probably one of the largest Slaver in the entire Central continent. In the wake of the incident of the last meeting, despite her status she has, in fact bite more than she can chew, by flaunting before me, and my fierce killing intent has straight her through.
“I’ve asked around about your preferences…well, just like the others who wanted to be acquainted with you…and I believe that this will surely pleased you..”. (Cortona Van Ruby)I wasn’t planning anything nor I even wanted anything. But if someone wanted to present me with a gift, it wouldn’t hurt to accept it. Cortona Van Ruby and her teams of
“You wanted your people to be an Aeternum Citizen, but secretly?…why?..”.The discussions has gotten even deeper between me and it has taken another whole turn. Although Cortona Van Ruby wanted for me to accept her people meaning Demon Race, she wanted and suggested that it would be done secretly.
There’s nothing for me to do or see around the Golden City, also I don’t wanted to. The day has slowly gotten dark and I wanted to get some shut eyes, But still I can ignore Alure Johnson my new entourage, to be honest I do find her really attractive. But I don’t want to jump on her without having a decency to know her a little bit much about her. But the fact that I have an ex-Nun right beside me, kinda turns me on.
“That is quite a numbers of people..”.“It is Young Master…It was like a constant stream of people coming in and out..Luckily, Thanks to your foresight…none of our store hasn’t ran out of stock..but 70% of it is already being sold..”. (Alfred)
“Anna..you won’t be here for long…after you confirm your replacement…I will pulled you back..of course, it will be before the Northern Campaign..”.The rest has ended for now, as the Floris City is ready to left the Golden City. It was quite a crowds, waving us goodbye but right now, I was talking to Anna, thankfully she’s already calm down from her
“Count Dracul,”she began, her voice firm and unwavering,“I trust you’ve gathered the intelligence we requested. I need a full assessment of the current situation in the capital—numbers, key locations, morale, everything.”Count Dracul inclined his head and moved to his desk, retrieving a thick file of documents.“Of course, Lt. Colonel. I anticipated your arrival and prepared these reports. They contain detailed accounts of the enemy’s troop movements, the state of the Queen’s court, and the overall morale of the capital’s populace.”He handed the file to Selie with both hands, his gaze flickering nervously as she began flipping through the pages with meticulous precision. The room fell silent save for the sound of rustling paper. Dracul, despite his composed exterior, felt a bead of sweat trail down his temple. Selie’s reputation for strictness was well-known, and he could only hope his work met her exacting standards.Selie’s sharp eyes scanned the documents, her brow furrowing sl
“You know, it’s said that the Maidens could topple an entire city if they wanted. I mean, we’re special forces, but compared to them…”He trailed off, shaking his head. Lionel smirked, glancing back at the young sergeant.“Compared to them? We’re kids playing soldier, Miles. But remember this: tonight, we’re part of something bigger. So, keep your head in the game.”After an hour of steady driving, the convoy finally came to a halt roughly one kilometer east of Alemia Capital City. The soldiers disembarked quietly, their boots crunching softly against the dirt. The chilly night air bit at their skin, but it wasn’t the cold that sent shivers down their spines—it was the sight before them.In the faint moonlight, Alemia Capital City loomed in the distance like a wounded giant. Its once-mighty walls were battered and crumbling, scars of relentless conflict etched into its stone.Surrounding the city, like a cancerous growth, were countless makeshift camps—hundreds of thousands of tents s
“The Maidens will lead the mission. Their unmatched skills, combined with the support of the Special Forces under Captain Lionel, will ensure success. This is a surgical operation—precision and stealth are paramount.”Lionel chuckled softly, leaning back in his chair.“Well, I can’t say I’m surprised. Watching the Maidens in action is a rare privilege, and I’d be lying if I said my team wasn’t looking forward to it.”Selie smirked.“Captain, try not to get too distracted. We still need you to keep up.”Lionel held up his hands in mock surrender.“Noted, Colonel. I’ll make sure my team stays focused.”I stood from my chair, signaling the seriousness of the mission.“Selie, you and the Maidens will infiltrate the capital. Your objectives are threefold: map the city’s fortifications, gather intelligence on troop deployments, and locate key targets for our final assault. Captain Lionel, your team will support from a distance—ensuring extraction points are secure and ready for the operatio
With that thought, I turned my focus back to the map, ready to guide my army toward the final battle. On the third day of our march, we finally reached the designated halting point in the Eastern Region. Here, our army was to temporarily stop and wait for the other fronts to arrive at their own respective rendezvous points.Among the five regions, my Eastern troops were the second to reach their location. The Western Troops, led by General Lucas and Governor Duke Oliver Gust, had been the first to arrive, thanks to their unopposed journey. As my men began constructing the temporary forward operating base (FOB), a mix of activity unfolded. Engineers worked quickly to establish defensive perimeters, while soldiers erected tents and prepared their rations. Rest rotations were enforced so the troops could rejuvenate themselves for the final phase of the campaign."We’re nearing the end. Every effort now is one step closer to liberating the entire Alemia Nation. Let the troops rest; soon,
"When this war ends, Alemia will rise again, stronger and united under Aeternum. And this march—this slow, deliberate march—is the first step toward that brighter future."With that thought, I turned back toward the command post, ready to oversee the next phase of our campaign.Our troops pressed forward with relentless efficiency, their pace never faltering despite the numerous side missions I tasked to the detachment units. Each liberated settlement followed the same protocol: Capture of Lords: Every noble or lord who held sway over the settlement was immediately captured and sent to Georgina City for judgment. These lords, guilty of oppressing their people, represented the old regime—a relic that had no place in the new Alemia under Aeternum rule. Establishing Order: The local guards were disbanded, their weapons confiscated, and a new administration was set up. Four of my trusted soldiers were stationed in each settlement to oversee governance, ensuring law, order, and security we
"Commander Bravo reports success in the town of Greenwill. Hostile resistance neutralized. The population is secure and stabilized.""Detachment Echo has liberated the village of Windcliff. No casualties, local leaders have pledged loyalty to Aeternum governance."Each report filled me with pride. These were not just military victories but also symbolic steps toward a better future for Alemia. As I gazed out of the vehicle window, watching the endless column of soldiers, vehicles, and supplies move steadily forward, I reflected on the strategy.There was no need to rush. Our overwhelming superiority meant that time was on our side. The final battle would come soon enough. For now, every slow step forward was an opportunity to stabilize and rebuild, ensuring that no shadow of rebellion could remain."Let others see this not just as a march to war but as a march of progress. Each town secured, each village stabilized is another foundation stone for the future of Alemia under Aeternum’s
“You want to speak with the president?”.Lieutenant Colonel Selie spoke with a quizzical tone in her voice, although the town had been liberated and his mission are basically completed, Captain Lionel felt the need to give the full extent of his reports on how he was able to liberate the town. After all the town surrendered to him before he was able to even fire a single shot from his firearms. This situation is rather odd, and he need the president to know everything about it, just so that he can take actions to deal with anything that might come up afterwards. So, the phone call turned into a brief awkward silence for a little bit, as the Lieutenant Colonel on the other side were thinking about his request.“Well… since you had performed well…. I will reward you with a direct line to the president himself…”.“I… Thank you, madam…”.Lionel was very appreciative about his Lieutenant Colonel giving him permission to speak with the president.“Don’t worry about it… in fact, you aren’t
From the safety of her balcony, an elderly woman raised her hands to the sky, tears streaming down her face.“Thank you, Aeternum. Thank you for saving us!”Parents clutched their children close, explaining with hopeful smiles what this change meant for their future. Young adults and teens cheered in the streets, their voices ringing with newfound hope.The celebratory mood reached a crescendo as the Aeternum Special Forces, alongside town guards, began systematically detaining the corrupt elites. The crowd’s energy shifted to awe as they watched the once-mighty nobles, lords, and wealthy merchants dragged out of their grand carriages. Dressed in their opulent attire, the elite now looked out of place, bewildered, and terrified.“These are the ones who’ve stolen from us!”cried a farmer, his voice echoing with righteous anger.“Justice at last!”another voice shouted, met by roaring cheers of agreement. Despite their emotions, the townsfolk knew better than to interfere. The authority
“Because we’ve seen what happens to those who oppose Aeternum. You bring order, prosperity, and justice—things this town has been starved of for decades. Our so-called lords have fled like rats, but the people... they welcome you with open arms.”Lionel nodded, his grip on his weapon easing.“Very well. Gather your men and have them lay down their weapons. My team will oversee the transition of control.”Luis complied immediately, issuing orders to the remaining guards to disarm and report to Aeternum’s soldiers. As the formalities were completed, Lionel turned to Marlow.“Get on the comms and update the President. Black Eagle Town is officially under our control.”Marlow smirked.“This might be the easiest mission we’ve ever had.”Lionel chuckled.“Don’t jinx it, Marlow. We’re not done yet.”Word of the surrender spread quickly among the townsfolk. The celebration that had started with the sight of Aeternum helicopters now reached a fever pitch. Children ran through the streets shout
