“Wow..Elijah…you think of such sinister ideas just right now..and just said it casually, before me….that is cold blooded of you…”.(Queen Duchess Angela)“Cold Blooded?…Heh…this is just so basic level scheming that we do everyday..at the A.C.I.A….changing the landscape for our benefits..without anyone knowing….it made it easier to control a nation that way….it is much easier to just convert a land that is apart a nation…without spilling to many bloods…”.(Elijah)Although Elijah might sounded haughty and arrogant at the moment. There is nothing Queen Duchess Angela can say to refute her, as she’s also know how insidious the A.C.I.A is, the tactics that they use to scheme in the shadow were so effective that they can simply topple and entire region upside down easily if they wanted to. For example, Queen Duchess Angela has witness personally, how the A.C.I.A has systematically dismantle and drive the persistent Principality of Light out of every single Allied Nation, and they do it in a
“I see….Your, A.C.I.A is as sinister as ever…”.(Queen Duchess Angela)“Sinister, maybe…but effective…undoubtedly…Look, we can come to and agreements right now…that Dukedom of Angela owned the Western Region of Hallerus…..so, rather than waiting for a long time for it to be official…why not just have it now….Put those Noble family members that is supportive or obeyed you, in the Leadership position….eliminate those that opposed you once and for all…and thus that region will be in your palm…..Let us be honest…Controlling the Central and Southern Region of Hallerus are already stretching the limits of the current Queen….What happened on the west…is beyond her….as long as on the surface things seems to be in place…that is done for her…..”.(Elijah)The current situation of Hallerus Kingdom is a mess, at the moment, the current government were already pulling their hair out of their heads, when dealing with only the Central Region and Southern Region. As for Northern region, it stayed peace
“The western Region lands is perfect for farming…and monsters hunting…not to mention that river route…that is more straight than what you have in your territory…that river connected to the Institute of Artemesia and Crystal Lake…and you know right now we are trying to utilized the rivers right?…”.“Wow…Elijah….the more things you unravel…the more it ignites my greed..”.(Queen Duchess Angela)“I am just stating the obvious, Angela…if you can hold the Western Region….then that will lessen our works….I know for certain that the Young Queen don’t have it in her to do something crazy…..especially not, when her 2 major region left her hand ‘willingly’…..”.(Elijah)“.…as long as it lighten the load, on Mies…it’s already good enough for you..right?…”.(Queen Duchess Angela)“Yes, it is….he has been working tirelessly for quite sometimes….it is about time we all take a little break and just enjoyed what we have achieved…..before we continuing on again….”.(Elijah)“That I understand…”.(Queen Duc
“.…as long as it lighten the load, on Mies…it’s already good enough for you..right?…”.(Queen Duchess Angela)“Yes, it is….he has been working tirelessly for quite sometimes….it is about time we all take a little break and just enjoyed what we have achieved…..before we continuing on again….”.(Elijah)“That I understand…”.(Queen Duchess Angela)Both of them looked a little somber for a brief second, before smiling again. For Queen Duchess today has been a very fruitful moment for her, not only she were able to secure a massive profitable deal with Aeternum, but also have gotten herself a permission and also a suggestions to get herself the Western Region Hallerus, of which is something that she has been eager to have. Now only she gotten herself the method for it, but also a good motivation to be more eager to obtained it.As for Elijah, today were also a good day for her, as she had just solved a lot of long winded work that will be coming in the future. If Western Region fall into Duk
“.…It’s a great move to motivate her, Sister…soon enough…Hallerus Kingdom will fall to their rightful state…and we all can finally be able to take it easy, with Master…”.(Andrea)“Well…that is the point to all of this, Andrea…By the way…what of the resorts that we planned on doing?…if we are going to take a break later…it is better for that places to be ready…”.(Elijah)“All in schedule…I even already started the Seaside resort construction in South Alemia Region…so don’t worry about it…”.(Andrea)“...Good…soon after this war..finally we are going to take a little break that we all deserved…”.(Elijah)“That is the plan, Sis…”.(Andrea)Just as at the New City were everything started to wrapped up and everyone went back to their own agenda, on the Presidential Airship, the environment inside the ship were quite lax, in compared to the hectic one day ago.“[Aren’t you going to stop her at all….you know that the Queen Duchess has basically tried to asked permission from you to lay waste o
“...Anyway…what is the current progress when I wasn’t here?…I bet Holgun has been doing a fine job so far..”.“[Certainly…although you just gone for a short span of time….Nearly all the basic infrastructure has been laid down and already operational….also…Our military has already gotten to 96% of eliminating all the stragglers soldiers that has gotten away from us….]”.(T.A.S)“Good…what about the criminals and the monsters situations?..”.“[All the Criminals, Monsters and non-essential Dungeons that was in the closest vicinity of any settlement has been eliminated…the remaining were left alone…for future actions and attractions for the future development…our Land acquisition for the Eastern and Southern Alemia Region has also been mapped out and completed as well…So we are prepared to open the border…]”.(T.A.S)“...Hmm…let’s not opened the border yet, hold it off for now and delayed it…only once the temporary observer position were elected..then we will open it up fully..”.“[I will p
“...Hmm…let’s not opened the border yet, hold it off for now and delayed it…only once the temporary observer position were elected..then we will open it up fully..”.“[I will put all the memo out to everyone…By the way we are arriving in 3 minutes…]”.(T.A.S)Right now all that is important to me is to take this whole procedure step by step. All thanks to the enemy being so unqualified, we are able to do everything all at the same time in an organized manner, I am sure by the time we move forward, the Eastern Alemia Region and the Southern will already be flourishing as a true Aeternum territory. At the moment, I am currently flying above the New Sunders City, somehow the name stuck and everyone started to call this city the New Sunders City, so I followed along and decided to officially named this city as it is. Rather than the city were name after that obnoxious late baron, it was name because the city and it owner were burned asunder and into a new one, that is the meaning of the ne
“...looks like Holgun has been doing a very fine job…even the Cathedral were contributing largely as well…”.From the top, the entire city has changed and transformed, it was modernized and rebuilt, the roads for the city were already completed, I can see flags of Cathedral of faith on several construction sites, filled with labour working on it, the city has start is new chapter.“It seems that they have finished the commercial sector first….I was hoping that they finished the residential sector first…”.“[…Holgun made a decision for that, after he got a consultation from the Cathedral of Faith and the Ministry of Resource…The plan were to revive the economy first…and besides, since all the population currently have their own homes still, the plan was..to revive the industry and economy..create more jobs and opportunity…then everything is easier….this approach is possible…]”.(T.A.S)“...Well….if he thinks that way…I guess so…since I myself gave him the green light to do as he wanted
“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
