“The A.C.I.A?…sure you can…after all, this mission got top priority from the President..you can use everything to your disposal…just sell the President name, and they will willingly cooperate with you…”.(Major Holgun Iron Horn)“If it was like that…then everything will be much more easier for me…”.(Sergeant Leku)“Hmm?…you still hung up with a rivalry with them?…”.(Major Holgun Iron Horn)“Not really a rivalry at all…it’s just those Spy Guys is just too slimy all the time…and their secretive nature..just get on my edge sometimes…”.(Sergeant Leku)Even in Aeternum the wariness against the intelligence agency still were still the same. A.C.I.A is more notorious in their secrecy and for a society that still hold on to the honorable values and warrior ethics, the slimy method of A.C.I.A does scarred their reputation, even so no one can dare to questioned their loyalty and also their effectiveness. Hence for the Special Forces and the other branches, all they wanted is to one up the A.C.I.
“Anyway…for now, me and my men will come up with some plans…so, Sir, you can go ahead report to his highness that by tomorrow, me and my men will be ready to brief him on the details…”.(Sergeant Leku)“As you should, Sergeant….then I will leave it to you..”.(Major Holgun Iron Horn)Sergeant Leku noted that this mission is important, right after the discussion between him and Major Holgun were done. He immediately left the Centre Tent and head straight to the Special Forces areas, he aimed to go straight to working. After all, when it comes to the order coming from the President himself, it has to be taken care off faster and meticulously. And also for the Special Force, they welcomed this new mission as it would bring a wind of change in their work and scenery, dealing with the bandits were rewarding and easy work, but now it is time for some serious work to be done.“Attention!…Commander in Presences!…”.(Specialist Alehandro)“At ease everyone….Alright men!…we got a new mission…”.(Se
“Attention!…Commander in Presences!…”.(Specialist Alehandro)“At ease everyone….Alright men!…we got a new mission…”.(Sergeant Leku)“About time we get something new…I already got tired of hunting those criminals…”.(Corporal Liam)“You don’t have to say that…I shared the same thought as you…”.(Specialist Gunner)“Boys…pay attention..”.(Specialist Jennifer)Inside the Special Force Office tent, all of Special Forces officers were called, there is 4 officers all of them incharge of 5 men each, Alehandro who is now at a Specialist naturally one of the officer incharge, he used to be in the same group as Sergeant Leku, but now Leku were on top of his in terms of a ranks. Nevertheless, when they were called in by Sergeant Leku as always all 4 of the officers were ready for everything.“.…Anyway….this time…our mission is very special…”.(Sergeant Leku)“Special?…how special?..”.(Corporal Liam)“Well….It comes from the top…”.(Sergeant Leku)“The top?...”.(Specialist Jennifer)“...Is it from t
“.…Anyway….this time…our mission is very special…”.(Sergeant Leku)“Special?…how special?..”.(Corporal Liam)“Well….It comes from the top…”.(Sergeant Leku)“The top?...”.(Specialist Jennifer)“...Is it from the Boss?…”.(Specialist Alehandro)“.…Bingo….it came from the Boss himself….given to us the moment he came on the ground yesterday….and it is quite an intense one…”.(Sergeant Leku)With everyone now have their interest pique, Sergeant Leku distribute copies of the mission details to each of the officers. With that, everyone take a look and read them, naturally the tent went silent for a little bit, and before long, it was Alehandro were the one to speak.“We were saving Old Marlo colleague, huh….I guess, with the current situation….it is appropriate to do so…This order really comes from the Boss…if it was him…he would surely never leave any man behind..”.(Specialist Alehandro)Alehandro smiles as he close the files in his hand, truly the mission were aligned with their President c
“We were saving Old Marlo colleague, huh….I guess, with the current situation….it is appropriate to do so…This order really comes from the Boss…if it was him…he would surely never leave any man behind..”.(Specialist Alehandro)Alehandro smiles as he close the files in his hand, truly the mission were aligned with their President conduct, to save a comrade that has been abandoned, surely it was a honorable actions.“Old Marlo colleague….the apprentices…well…since we were about to liberated more land….those administrator is surely needed for everything…”.(Specialist Jennifer)“That’s true…look at here and the Pearl City…thanks to those apprentice, the city administration has become even smoother now…this mission is truly crucial for our next war skirmishes…”.(Corporal Liam)Although they might looked like just a bunch of hot headed, battle maniac bunch, The entire Special Forces branch were filled with qualified officers and soldiers, in fact if any Special Force soldier were put in th
“That’s true…look at here and the Pearl City…thanks to those apprentice, the city administration has become even smoother now…this mission is truly crucial for our next war skirmishes…”.(Corporal Liam)Although they might looked like just a bunch of hot headed, battle maniac bunch, The entire Special Forces branch were filled with qualified officers and soldiers, in fact if any Special Force soldier were put in that same unit as any regular soldiers, that Special Forces unit will always be the one that will be the leading figure and will always be the smarter and experienced one than all the others. Hence all the 4 officers were able to instantly determined the crucial roles of the apprentices is just proved just how professional and capable they are.“Hence that is why…we all need to nail this mission perfectly…from the initial intel gathering…all the way to extracting them…every single moves has to be done with utter perfections…Remember..this mission is given to us…directly from th
“Hence that is why…we all need to nail this mission perfectly…from the initial intel gathering…all the way to extracting them…every single moves has to be done with utter perfections…Remember..this mission is given to us…directly from the President himself….he can give it to the mere soldiers, to the Spy bunch…but no…he gave it to us….so…no matter what…I will not disappoint him…and I expect you all also have the same kind of motivation as me…is that understood?..”.(Sergeant Leku)“Crystal Clear, Sir…”.(Specialist Jennifer)“Good…let us start sorting the available intel for now and decide our strategic plans…”.(Sergeant Leku)“Alright, sir..”.(Corporal Liam)With that order, the whole tent started to get busy, all hand were on deck, as the files filled with information were spread on top of the long table in the middle of the room. In just a few hours, the data were already started to formed a solid plans, maps on the table were filled with mark and dots, for the whole six hours and no
“.….Leku….the complication of this mission….it is not that hard….but rather…what is pressing…is that the distance of each extraction target….with this…we literally have to travel from the North-east all the way to North-west of Alemia Region….with stopping at all the region major city and town….rather than worrying about the resistance….we are actually have to worry about time….”.(Specialist Alehandro)“...That’s right….this is time concerning mission…Just look at all the diverse location of the remaining survivor…”.(Corporal Liam)After all the arranging data has completed, at last, Sergeant Leku and all the Special Forces officers can finally get the whole picture of their mission scales. It was true, that rather than worrying about the possible resistance that they will face in their mission later, what is worrying for them is the time constraint. The location of the well known Apprentices survivor were far to scattered all over the 3 region of Alemia, and thus this will only make
“For the first time ever, we bring to you, the Dukedom of Angela—as seen through the lens of Aeternum television!” Quara announced proudly.The footage zoomed in to Angela City, its sprawling medieval-style castles and townships standing in stark contrast to Aeternum’s modern metropolis. The streets of Angela were bustling, the markets filled with traders, and most importantly, the brand-new train station was shown in full glory—with an Aeternum-built high-speed train pulling in.Loud cheers erupted from across the nation.“I never thought I’d be able to see another country without having to travel!” a young boy marveled, watching from his family’s living room.Back in the Angela Grand Plaza, where a giant public viewing screen had been set up, Angela’s own citizens were watching themselves on the Aeternum News.A young Angela nobleman paled, tugging at his collar. “Is this how they see us? We look so… so old-fashioned compared to them!”His companion, a wealthy merchant, nodded. “The
As life in Angela rapidly modernized, one final surprise awaited its citizens—a marvel unlike anything they had ever seen before.Under President Mies’ orders, Minister Rafaela of A.R.D.H.M. (Art, Research, Development, Health, and Magic) had finally completed a project years in the making.Aeternum had officially invented the world’s first television.At Angela’s Grand Plaza, a massive gathering of people stood in front of a newly constructed screen.“Is this… some kind of moving painting?” an old man asked, adjusting his spectacles.His grandson, a curious boy named Emile, tugged on his sleeve. “Grandpa, look! The picture is… changing!”The crowd gasped as the screen flickered to life, revealing an image of DJ Skelly and Quara Raedrim, two of Aeternum’s most famous radio hosts.“Greetings, citizens of Angela!” DJ Skelly’s booming voice echoed across the plaza. “Today is a historic day! For the first time ever, the people of Aeternum and Angela will witness the future of entertainmen
At Fort Steelward, a border outpost near the west, Angela’s Captain Cedric Durand stood alongside Aeternum’s Colonel Matthias Kael, watching as their combined forces executed a tactical drill.“You train your men well,” Captain Cedric admitted, watching as Aeternum’s soldiers swiftly took down training dummies with precise gunfire and coordinated tactics.Colonel Kael smirked. “Efficiency is key. We fight with strategy, discipline, and superior equipment.”Angela’s soldiers were still adjusting to Aeternum’s modernized warfare, but the results spoke for themselves. Crime rates near the border had dropped by 60% in just three months, and monster activity was at an all-time low.For Angela’s government, this was the best possible outcome. A safer nation meant a stronger economy, happier citizens, and more stability.In the halls of Angela’s Royal Palace, the nation’s ministers convened for a special meeting to discuss the growing partnership with Aeternum.“I must admit,” Minister Jean-
“So…” Baroness Elise folded her arms. “Are you telling us that our businesses are failing because we refuse to acknowledge the common folk as valuable clients?”“Precisely,” Lionel said. “Look, my friends—tradition is fine, but wealth does not care about tradition. You must ask yourselves, do you wish to cling to outdated ideals and watch your investments fail? Or will you embrace modernity and open your doors to the true economy?”The Angela nobles were silent.Marquis Alistair eventually exhaled. “Damn… I hate to admit it, but you’re right.”Duke Clarence sighed, rubbing his temples. “It seems we have much to reconsider.”Lionel smirked. “That’s the first step to success. Now… shall we discuss how to properly revamp your business strategies?”By the time Angela’s nobles returned home, their entire perspective had changed. Within weeks, their resorts underwent major rebranding, opening their services to the wealthy merchants, military officers, and successful craftsmen that made up A
Duke Clarence and his companions exchanged glances. The idea of a nobility focused on economy and culture rather than ruling and taxation was unthinkable in the Dukedom of Angela.At that moment, Countess Vivian Lancaster, a noblewoman from Aeternum’s east, approached the group with a knowing smile. “And you should know, Duke Clarence,” she said smoothly, “there is far more wealth and prestige in industry than in ruling over struggling farmers.”She produced a document, sliding it across the table. It was an investment portfolio—Aeternum Nobles had turned entire mountain valleys into profitable spa resorts, old castles into boutique hotels, and hunting grounds into elite golf courses.Marquis Alistair leaned forward, his eyes widening at the immense profits outlined in the reports. “By the heavens… you’re making millions in mere months,” he whispered.Viscount Lionel nodded, clearly enjoying their shock. “And it is all because we embraced progress, rather than clinging to the past.”Ba
“This railway is not merely a connection between nations,” Queen Angela declared, “but a symbol of progress. A bridge between past traditions and the bright future we shall build together.”President Mies added, “With this project, Angela will no longer be isolated or vulnerable. It will be a thriving hub of innovation and prosperity.”The people roared with approval, commoners eager for job opportunities, and nobles eager for increased wealth.Meanwhile, across the border, envoys from Hallerus Kingdom and the Golden Triangle Nation secretly observed the Angela-Aeternum railway collaboration.One Hallerus official slammed his fist onto his desk upon receiving the report. “They’re building a rail network that connects Aeternum to the Forbidden Wasteland?! If this continues, Angela will become untouchable!”A Golden Triangle merchant sneered. “Tch. Those fools in Angela have completely sold themselves to Aeternum. But we can do nothing. Our king already declared hostilities. We are lock
While Angela embraced its partnership with Aeternum, its rival nations were watching with envy and resentment.The Kingdom of Hallerus and the Golden Triangle Nation, both historical adversaries of Aeternum, knew they had missed their chance to secure such a lucrative alliance.In the Hallerus Royal Palace, King Hadrian scowled as he studied a detailed report on the Aeternum-Angela railway project.“They are modernizing too quickly,” he muttered. “Soon, Angela will be just as powerful as Aeternum.”His advisors nodded grimly, but they knew there was nothing they could do.Meanwhile, in the Golden Triangle Nation, Emperor Verix tapped his fingers on his throne, deep in thought.“Aeternum is changing the continent,” he murmured. “And we are falling behind.”With Angela fully embracing progress, Aeternum’s expansion showed no signs of stopping. The railway was more than just steel and tracks—it was the path to a new era. A nation modernizing at unprecedented speed. A people eager to grow
The Dukedom of Angela was no longer just a small kingdom caught between larger powers—it was now on its way to becoming a global trade hub.To further solidify their partnership, Aeternum opened job opportunities for Angela’s citizens. Engineering apprenticeships were offered to young scholars eager to learn Aeternum’s technology. Labor positions in railway maintenance, track laying, and station operations provided work for thousands.Even hospitality and tourism sectors saw a boom, with people preparing for the influx of travelers who would soon visit their cities. Aeternum made one thing clear—this railway wasn’t just for Aeternum’s benefit, but for Angela’s prosperity as well.However, not everyone was happy about this monumental project.The Kingdom of Hallerus and the Golden Triangle Nation, both long-time rivals of Aeternum, watched the cooperation between Aeternum and Angela with growing jealousy and frustration.For years, both nations had sought to expand their influence in t
“Aeternum plans to construct the longest and most advanced railway system in the continent,” Mies explained, unfolding a detailed map of Central Continent on the table.“We wish to connect New City to the Forbidden Wasteland, and we have chosen the Dukedom of Angela as the interconnection point.”Queen Angela studied the map carefully. “So, Angela would serve as the bridge between Aeternum’s mainland and its Wasteland territories?”“Yes,” Minister Andrea confirmed. “We will be using Mana-powered maglev technology, capable of traveling at speeds unheard of in this world.”Princess Angela’s eyes widened. “You mean to tell me… you’re planning to build a train that runs on magic and technology?”Mies smirked. “That’s exactly what we’re doing.”“This will be the first of its kind,” Vice President Elijah added. “And it will set the foundation for global transportation.”The Dukedom of Angela would become the gateway between two of the most significant territories in the world—Aeternum’s mai
