“.…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
“They were just salty….back when we first fought and defeated them….all of them were hiding in the corner cowardly…and then we installed the apprentices to take their places…at that time I can still remember that they don’t even dared to look at the apprentices directions…they just bowed their heads and lick the apprentices foot..at that time…..remember that time, Alehandro?..”.(Sergeant Leku)“Yeah…that time, the same thing happened here…all the nobles that day just simply hides in their lair like a cowards….damn…I have so many apprentices friend back then…and those guys were good guys…it was only understandable..that they do what they did now…with us out the pictures…they can just storm in and claim everything back…”.(Specialist Alehandro)It was a sad truth and regrettable what had happened, but ultimately at the end of the day, things already happened so now all that they can do is rectify everything and move on.“Wow….you two have even served during the first war?…I get it when i
“Specialist Alehandro..is First generation Special Force Operator, you know…please be respectful Gunner..”.(Specialist Jennifer)Alehandro is known to be the old member of the Special Forces Branch, and he is also a low key person. What is more puzzling to others is that compared to the many first generation Special Forces operator, his ranks were the lowest, thus made him seem unremarkable to many. For Gunner, Jennifer and Liam, they were second generation operator, so this old Dwarf often alluded them with mystery.“I am respectful, you know!…..it just….why are you still specialist, old man?..”.(Specialist Gunner)“Oi…what did I just said just now?…”.(Specialist Jennifer)“Hey..I know!….I just..you know…curious?…”. (Specialist Gunner)Jennifer growled as the brash attitude of Gunner, but everyone can see that Gunner were just curious and doesn’t mean anything bad from his words. Liam too were curious as well, but decided as the youngest in the room it is better to keep his mouth shu
“It is rather simple actually….this old dwarf is just stubborn….Hahaha..”.(Sergeant Leku)“…what?..”.(Corporal Liam)Hearing their sergeant just rip into Alehandro like it was nothing, Corporal Liam just spurt out his drinks in shock, startling the whole room.“He denied promotions because he haven’t had enough of fighting…and because he don’t want to lead others…Stupid right?…hahaha!…Then again…if he decided to rank up…this guy over here can just asked the President for it…and he will get it nifty….”.(Sergeant Leku)“Tch!…I too lazy to lead others…”.(Specialist Alehandro)“Believe it or not…if he wanted to…he can easily rose to Lieutenant Colonel and stand beside Colonel Xing if he wanted to…but being a muscle headed dwarf that he is….he preferred to bash in some skull rather than sit in an office somewhere….You guys do realized that he just called the President ‘Boss’ right?…”.(Sergeant Leku)“yeah….aren’t you also called the President, Boss as well, Sir?…”.(Specialist
“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
