“We better do our job….let those politician do theirs…god…..I hope they solve this problem quick…soon enough…we would be overwhelmed…”.(Aeternum Police Commissioner Layla)Getting their new order, Layla along with all the police captain leave the cabinet hall and head out to the streets, this time they all had their work plans out for them, for their duty this time is to just make sure that nothing damaging would happened. Certainly this is a troubled time, especially when the military is busy elsewhere, usually this kind of controlling situation would be much more manageable if the soldiers were with them to control the situation, as the people would be more calm when they sees soldiers calming them.Meanwhile inside of the Cabinet Hall, the situation weren’t Getting any better, the 2 opposing side were getting more and more heated, especially when the religious faction chimed in.“We all should obeyed the rules and our constitutions!…this is ordained by us by our government…and the
“Sister….”.(Mina)“What is it?..”.(Elijah)“It’s happening….we have protest outside….and looks like is continues to grows…”.(Mina)“Seems like our expectation has became true…”.(Elijah)Learning this, Elijah slyly smirked, her plans has already started to come together.“Yeah….but, I feared that the crowd might be too riled up…..also, they are continuing to grow larger…My commissioner are clearly worried that this situation might grow and become out of control…”.(Mina)“Now…we don’t that to happen do we..”.(Elijah)“Yes….you should start the next phase now….whilst I will go outside and select someone to talk here…”.(Mina)“You go and do that…I’ll handle the situation here..”.(Elijah)Mina nodded and walked away, naturally like a show as soon as she moved, the rest of the staff inside the Cabinet Hall also suddenly spring into action, making all the Cabinet members became very aware that something had happened, and it seems like it isn’t something good.“Ladies and gentlemen…may I have
“Things are slowly going out of control…”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)“You think so?….ahaha….well, that is the difference between us and the other governments….our people can think for themselves….and they wanted us to hear about it….unlike the other nations….our people were not merely just a sheeps….amazing isn’t it….”.(Colonel Alessia Di Gianna)“Sure…that’s great…but still….with that amount of people outside….things can easily spiral out of control…and that shouldn’t happen…especially now..when we had a very crucial decision to make…”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)To many of the old lords, this situation is certainly unsettling to be in, but for many Aeternum born leader, this situation is just something that is to be expected, as things like this is what made the Aeternum governance to be different and unique. At the same time, right outside the Cabinet Hall Building, the crowds that starts at most at a hundreds people has now grown into thousands, traffic, business and now even sch
“Commissioner Layla….” Minister Mina’s voice cut through the din of the crowd, carrying a weight of authority that had been honed through years of public service.“Yes, Madam Minister!” Layla responded, relief palpable in her tone. “Thank God you’re finally here. Look at the crowd, Ma’am. The numbers have kept increasing…” Aeternum Police Commissioner Layla’s voice trailed off as she gestured toward the masses.Minister Mina’s gaze swept across the scene, taking in the sea of faces. “I can see that… It’s even more overwhelming than what I saw from the inside. Is the situation under control?” Her words were calm, but there was an undercurrent of urgency.“Somehow… somehow, the people are still in a reasonable mood. So far, no one has attempted to cross the barrier we’ve set up,” Commissioner Layla replied, her voice tinged with cautious optimism. She gave a wry smile as she motioned toward the crowd, clearly indicating that the protest line had not yet breached the police barricades.“
“[ Folks, let it be known that today, right inside this building, we are in the midst of a respected Cabinet Meeting… A time and place where we discuss the matters that will shape the future of our nation. It is also a place where you—the people—are heard and your concerns are listened to by the leaders of our nation. Seeing you all gathered here today is truly a shocking sight for all of us inside. Let it be known that this is a trying time for all of us. With the war that we are still fighting, we need to be united as one. So, tell me, what has prompted you all to gather here today in this fashion?… ]” Minister Mina’s voice was soothing yet firm, her words carefully chosen to deescalate the situation while inviting the crowd to share their grievances.Her calming presence had an almost immediate effect on the protesters. The tension that had gripped the crowd began to ease, and a sense of order slowly returned. It was Old Corg who stepped forward, his voice now the only one that bro
Back outside, with the crowd of protester has calmed down and finally able to communicate calmly and in an orderly fashion, everything else has flowed smoothly as it can be, right now, in front of the crowds, Old Corg, who is now wholeheartedly being acknowledge as the crowds representative, are now beginning to have an earnest talks with Minister Mina. The police are no longer felt the tension in the air as the crowd, now knows that they have someone to talk on behalf of them, started to take a step back and calmly await what is going to unfold.“So, you…along with the others are here…to protest the memorandum from being approved, right?…”.(Minister Mina)“Yes, Madam Minister….I…or perhaps…we all…we don’t want to see…that the progress….the effort of our soldiers are being wasted here….”.(Old Corg)Old Corg are very passionate right now, he spread his arms to the side to signify that right now, he is not just talking for himself, but also for the rest of Aeternum people as well, and h
“Your Excellency, Madam Minister….we understand that….but, please we beg of you and the Cabinet….do not let this sort of harmful Memorandum passed…..for it would be a disaster…for all of us….and for the people in Alemia Nation….”.(Old Corg)“I get it….Let me….Hmmm?…”.(Minister Mina)“Madam Minister!…Madam Minister!!…..we have an order from the Cabinet Hall!!….”.(Captain Gorry)Just as the mood were about to be down, all of a sudden, a Police Captain, Captain Gorry come running towards Minister Mina that are still in the middle of a conversation with Old Corg at the moment. At the moment as the whole area were in silence, Captain Gorry hurried voice and his rushing action, immediately caught everyone attentions.“What is it, Captain Gorry?…”.(Minister Mina)“Huff…huff…huff…..Madam Minister, the Cabinet Hall had reached a concession on this situation…”.(Captain Gorry)“What is it?….what is their concession?…”.(Minister Mina)Minister Mina voice sounded shocked and curious right now, in
“Your Excellency, Madam Minister… the people have chosen me to represent them,”.(Old Corg) Old Corg began, his voice a mix of pride and trepidation. “So I will be the one addressing the Cabinet, Madam.”.(Old Corg)Minister Mina regarded him with a calm and measured gaze, her expression reflecting both understanding and the weight of the moment.“If the people have come to their decision, then I will respect it,”.(Minister Mina)she responded, her voice steady and respectful.“You will come with me to speak to the Cabinet Members. What is your name, sir?”.(Minister Mina)“I am Corg, Madam… just Corg. Folks call me Old Corg… I’m a fish hawker at the wet market… Sorry…”.(Old Corg) Old Corg’s voice faltered as he introduced himself, his modesty almost overwhelming him.As he spoke, his head dipped slightly, as if the weight of his humble origins was too much to bear in the presence of such an esteemed figure as Minister Mina. For a man like him, accustomed to the rough and simple life
“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
