“[ On the 3rd battle front, in Western Alemia region, Gust Territory….our very own Governor, Governor Duke Oliver Gust together with General Lucas…has been holding the defensive line remarkably….According to our reporter there, there are massive influx of refugees coming from all over Alemia Nation…seeking refugees and safe haven in the territory of our nation…The intensifies of the Civil War in the Central Region had forced as many and half a million people to run away from their homes…]”.(Radio/Quara Raedrim)“….half a million people…..dear me…”.(Madame Betty)Shocked and saddened is the only reaction that the listeners can do to emphasized with the sad situation in the Western Front, the refugee fleeing their homes to seek safety and peace, always reminded the many listeners to their own plight as well.“[ On top of all this sad situation…our authorities, also discovered a lot of criminals and runaway nobles and lords…trying to joined the many refugees to seek safe havens….t
Listening to the radio news, that the report has been beautify and tailored to make us look good, is nothing short of a fine morning for me. Head Butler Gerard has been with me all this morning, leaving the room several times to do his work and also comes back with a refreshment for my breakfast dine. Marisko has woken up and already left to work, and so does Eliza as well. They both have a lot of work to do as the army will have to conquer the Northern Region and then the Northwestern region next. At that time, whilst I were enjoying my time, listening to the radio and basking in the morning sun. My phone rang, and I recognized the number, is the War Room official number, I wondered if something had happened.“Hello…who is this?…”.“[ Good Morning, Your Highness…I am Lieutenant Vexia, from the War Room, Inside the Black House…]”.(Lieutenant Vexia)“Oh~..Lieutenant Rabbit, it’s you…”.“[………….uh….y..yes…it’s me, Sir…]”.(Lieutenant Vexia)Her awkward silence went off for a few seconds,
“[Madam, The President is on Line number 1…]”.(Lieutenant Vexia)“[Thank you, Lieutenant…..Hello…Master..]”.(Vice President Elijah)“Oh, Elijah…good morning…you call me quite early this time….why is something happened back home?…”.“[Are you listening to the radio news right now?…]”.(Vice President Elijah)“ Yes, I am….Why?..”.(President Mies)“[Well….I have some idea…]”.(Vice President Elijah)Now that is quite a surprise coming from her, and at this kind of time. From her tone of voice, it seems like her idea might be a little bit mischievously, though, at this point, I can humor her, after all this time, I will always be the one that has been giving out an idea, better let her have a chance at it.“Sure…tell me about your idea…as long as it doesn’t involve us stopping the war…I am open to suggestions…”.“[ It was like this…..as the news was aired, we are gauging the public reaction to the aired news…so…I think we can devise something even upping the public reaction even more….]”.(V
“[Thank you, Master….in a few days…you can expect a great news from me…]”.(Vice President Elijah)“I certainly hope so, Elijah…”.What Elijah had in mind is quite genius actually, she wanted to have the public had their hands dirty and thus involving the entire Aeternum to also have their names in our war, and thus entirely made everyone cannot reverse their opinion, sure at first when she would announced the ‘decision’ the people would probably outrage and performed a protest. But little that they know, once they do it, they will be entirely locked inside of her scheme.“...It seems that you had a very fruitful conversation, with our Madam Vice President…..is it?..”.(Agent Marisko)“you can say that…..she wanted to do a little bit mischief….so I gave her the go ahead to do so…”.“Agent Marisko….keep your decorum, whilst speaking to His Highness….Your Highness, I Holgun Iron Horn has arrived..”.(Major Holgun Iron Horn)“Oh~ how so prudent of you, Major…you should relaxed a little bit~
“Marisko…how about on your side?..”.“The public reaction is overwhelmingly positive….and from the end of New Sunders to here…..the people are ready to accept Aeternum wholeheartedly…In terms of the new trades agreements with Dukedom of Angela….everything has been prepared…we already started to sent the first shipments to New City as we speak….for now the only issues that we had…is dealing with the runaway nobles and lords….some of them managed to escape to the Central Region…”.(Agent Marisko)“Hmm….what about their properties?..”.“We managed to obtained all of them…but, as for their lives….they managed to get away…so…we would have less than original estimated numbers of scapegoat to shows to the public…”.(Agent Marisko)“That’s not really great…those people are needed for us to show our Justice systems….the down trodden people need to see that we are able to delivered them a profound justice…”.Sure at this point, we have already punished a lot of Nobles and lord in the midst of the
“Things like this bound to happen, Marisko…everything is messy around us….and things just moving too fast….we cannot covered everything, right?….rather than dwelling in this situation…we should just find a solution for it…”.I rather changed the current mood, as this unhinged lady should never be let being in a depressed mood, she might just go unhinged entirely later on.“.…hmm….contact, Observer Naevys Briarfel in Pearl City and Governor Duke Oliver Gust….I want them to sent all their captured Nobles and Lord here to Georgina City…we will hold he trial here….”.“I see….by punishing the Noble and Lord from all the regions…then the numbers would be large enough, to create an illusion that we were punishing every sinners that the Alemia Nation had….and thus appeased and appeal to the public that we ARE punishing everyone…Right, Sir?…”.(Major Holgun Iron Horn)“Yes…that is the plans….while I am punishing these convict….I want you, Holgun…paired with General Eliza and the rest of the tro
“...Us, the M.I agents has to always be the most effective swords and shield for him….and your mistakes….can be a hole that anyone can take advantage of…”.(Major Holgun Iron Horn)“.….Once again, I understand, you bull….stop reminding me so much about it….just in case….you better remember…that between you and me….he used my dirty and dark sword the most….you can stick close to him as much as you can….but remember…I am the most useful tool for him….Hmph!…”.(Agent Marisko)“..Heh….anyway….make sure that you handle your task correctly this time…I don’t want to suggest my men to replace you….which…you know that it can happen…”.(Major Holgun Iron Horn)Petty, that is what Holgun were looking like right now, but still Marisko cannot just rebuked him. The real truth is although their interaction seems scathing, it also served as an effort to comfort both of them. The M.I Agency is small, and they only served and answered to the President, in terms of hierarchy within the many Aeternum agency
“By the way, lady Marisko…I wanted to remind you, that…when you were hiring…please make sure that your worker has already registered as Aeternum citizens…as you know…we need to follow and showed off the policy….Government requirements…”.(Observer Mr.Halgar)“Of course, Mr. Halgar….quite perceptive of you, to use these opportunity that comes from me…”.(Agent Marisko)“Well…we all go to survive and collect merits right?…ahahaha…”.(Observer Mr.Halgar)In just a short brief of time, the 2 already forge a cooperation, and already using each others for their own benefits. Halgar at this moment, is still an Observer in trial, and he would need a lot of connection and credentials, to help him raise to the position of true mayor, which is certainly a long road, should he not have any ally, and thankfully Agent Marisko is a good ally for him to have on his side.Whilst the 2 in Georgina City were busy with their preparation for the upcoming Trial in the City, on the other part of the region, mo
“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
