“...Vice Director Robert….you might want to wipe that smile off your faces….we all know that the General..seems rather unlikely to be on such position…..but…remember…she is A general of our military….and also…a General of an Air Force…..also…most of the people forgot, that she is actually…a member of a Maiden Unit…..”.(Temporary Observer Mr.Throltyhs)“Oh….”.(City hall Vice Director Robert)“For a person like her….she can be decisive, serious…and also very cold hearted when she needed to…”.(Temporary Observer Mr.Throltyhs)With that reminder, the smile instantly vanished of the vice director face. When he got reminded that the person that he was thinking lightly, at the end of the day was an Aeternum General, and one thing is for sure, Aeternum general is not the kind of people that anyone can disregards at all, if there is anyone out there that dares to even think of doing so, they are just getting an express ticket to death. Nevertheless, it was safe to say that the casual Vice Dir
“So, you were saying that you all finally conquered the Frozen Peak City?…”.“[Yes, Your Highness..we also managed to eradicate Duke Windstorm the 5th and all of his court as well…all is done in one fell swoop….Agent Mirabella naturally done the major part of it…but we all managed to conquer the final city..without a single casualty on our side…]”.(Major Holgun Iron Horn)“That is a great news…see…I know that you all can do it…”.“[Thank you for your unwavering faith in us, Sir..]”.(Major Holgun Iron Horn)Personally I estimated that they might take a few more days to completely conquered the entire Northern Region, but they managed to shorten that period by a 2 weeks, that alone is a major feat already. Not to mention that they did it with no casualty at all whilst toppling the major city in all of Northern region.“By the way, did General Eliza already handed out the reward to Agent Mirabella?…”.“[Yes, she did…Agent Mirabella will inherit the Ducal title and also a part of the terr
“...It seems like Eliza has finally made it…”.(General Bina)“Yes, She did….and she did it without even fighting….she just strolled into the Frozen Peak City and takes it…”.“Well…if it’s her…she always have the knacks to do something shocking……it seems that there is only one more region left….Right?..”.(General Bina)“That’s right…..this time…we will show them our full might….the might of Aeternum…”.“Surely…that can happen, Master…me and Kolarova can move out whenever you wanted us to move….for us the Southern Region is not that complicated to handle…”.(General Bina)Perhaps in terms of region stabilization after the war, Southern Region of Alemia were perhaps the fastest to recover and rebuilt, why, unlike on my side and on the Northern Region, the southern region handled with is Bina and Kolarova they handle things differently, and by differently I mean that they actually eliminated 100% of any opposition that remained on that region. Any criminals, nobles or lord that support the
“Let’s set the date for the attack in 3 days….the Northern region needs a little bit consolidation first…after all…it is much better to attack the central region on all sides…”.“If you say so….It didn’t matter much to me….personally…I think with the missile firepower alone…my troops can take the Central Region out all on our own…”.(General Bina)“Really?….how is it?…”.“What?..”.(General Bina)“The Missile, of course….how was it?…”.I asked the question to Bina, as she and Kolarova has been using the missile all over the southern region war, it can be considered as the Aeternum Missile first real life testing. Naturally before it was being used in fights, it was already being tested multiple times and everyone were pleased with it’s effectiveness, but this war was the first time that it was being used in an actual war, so I kinda wondered on how it goes.“Well….it’s is devastating…..and to be honest it was scary to all of us when we first launched the missile and sees it in action….o
“Are you shocked?…”.“Visibly so..”.(General Bina)“Understandable….that is the kind of effects that, that weapon can do to people….how easy it is to destroy a lot of things by just a single button….but at the end of the day…that is the nature of weaponry…..that is also why I am rather secretive about our weaponry….”.“Now I fully understand…why you have been so strict and secretive about our state secrets…..at this point, should this secret were known to the entire world…we might just become a target to everyone in the world…what is even worse…the others might even group together and went against us…”.(General Bina)“that is why we always had to remained vigilance….and that is also why…I adopted a lot of questionable move in my actions….”.“.…I understand….like the Eternal Night Division and making a lot of vassal nation instead of conquering them?..”.(General Bina)“Yes, that move…”.I smiled at Bina fast catching up to my hints. For the Eternal Night Division it is an action that g
“You always managed to think…two or three steps forward all the time, Master…..if you were gone….I don’t know if our nation can last…”.(General Bina)“Well….aren’t that why we are educating our people at higher level than any other country….and beside….you and your sisters can basically outlive anyone in this world….we have advance medical technologies and magics…don’t worry about death or anything…”.Sometimes our conversation can just branch out to the dark side a little bit as we speak about death, but that is just the 2 of us bantering with each others.“…sir, It’s me…Agent Marisko..may I come in?..”.(Agent Marisko)“Come in, Agent…”.A knock on the door briefly stopped out conversation, and it was Agent Marisko who is knocking on the other side, as always I allowed her to come in.“Sir….we have an Intel…that about 30% of the enemy forces in Central Region that are currently in the midst of civil war…and trying to flee from the war..sir…”.(Agent Marisko)Now that i
“30% of them wanted to run?….”.“Yes…more specifically…it was the 30% of the nobles and lord, combining the amount on both camps…..”.(Agent Marisko)“Just the noble?…”.“Yes, Only the Noble and lords that are attempting to runaway…their troops…they intent to just leave them behind and let the other lord handle the troops as they pleased…”.(Agent Marisko)Now that is even funnier and even more stupider that I could think, the nobles and lord’s decided to just tuck their tails and runaway leaving their minions behind.“Why did they do that?…did the news of us coming already come to wake them up from their day dream?..”.“We afraid yes…they might be realizing that we are not here to come and become their saviour once again…on top of that the news that we might already have them all surrounded and their land had already become ours…spooked these 30%…and drive them to their current decisions…”.(Agent Marisko)“They finally realized the truths…but they realized it a tad to late…so has the n
“We believed…as of now…not yet…and perhaps would never be…this 30% aimed to be the only one that knows about this…as they all planned together to leave the battlefield and Alemia Nation entirely in 24hours time….”.(Agent Marisko)“.….so they decided to keep everything secret for themselves…and just run away on their own?…”.(General Bina)“I believed so, Madam Grand General…”.(Agent Marisko)“They wanted to not attract attention to themselves so much that they decided to run away alone….at this point…we can all see that these 30% do have the mind of their own and…they have some semblance of critical thinking when it comes to ensuring their own survival…”.“That is why they wanted to use the Crown Prince and the Queen as a sacrificial lambs to divert our attention….they think that we would just let them walked away…since we might not noticed them..right?..”.(General Bina)“That is their plans, clearly, Madam…”.(Agent Marisko)This revelation were so funny to all 3 of us, that those cra
“Do you hear that?”the man asked, his voice tinged with disbelief. His wife tilted her head, confused.“Hear what?”“Exactly,”he said with a small smile.“No cries, no screams, no clashing of swords. Just... peace.”She leaned her head against his shoulder, her own smile forming.“Maybe this is where we can finally start again.”For the refugees, Gust City wasn’t just a city; it was a promise of what their lives could become—a life of safety, hope, and renewal under the watchful governance of Aeternum.The Gust Ducal Palace stood as a beacon of Aeternum’s prosperity within the Western Region of Alemia. Its grand architecture, a blend of Alemia’s traditional designs and Aeternum’s modern sensibilities, reflected the harmony achieved under Duke Oliver Gust’s leadership. Within its marble halls, the duke’s study served as a sanctuary for strategy and reflection.Seated within the study’s richly adorned walls, Duke Oliver Gust and General Lucas shared an air of camaraderie, their conver
The city of Gust, the capital of the Western Region, radiated an aura of peace and prosperity that seemed almost otherworldly to those who had known nothing but strife. The towering walls stood strong yet inviting, adorned with the Aeternum insignia—a symbol that had come to mean safety and order to the Alemia people.As they passed through the gates, the refugees were greeted by sights and sounds that filled their hearts with hope. Cobblestone streets bustled with activity, but not the chaotic kind they had fled from. This was the lively hum of a thriving community: merchants hawking their wares, children laughing as they played, and townsfolk chatting amicably by fountains that sparkled in the midday sun.An elderly man, his face lined with the hardships of life in the war-torn northern regions, clutched his walking stick tightly as he stopped to take it all in.“Is this... really Alemia?”he asked, his voice trembling with disbelief. His daughter, holding her infant child close to
Unlike the other regions, where battles and skirmishes carved paths to liberation, the Western Region of Alemia had never known the chaos of war during this conflict. This serene anomaly could be attributed to the Gust Ducal Family, led by its dignified patriarch, Duke Oliver Gust.From the very beginning of Alemia’s Civil War, Duke Oliver Gust had pledged his allegiance to Aeternum, a decision that would forever shape the fate of the Western Region. The Duke, a good statesman and a visionary leader, recognized early on the transformative potential of Aeternum governance. By aligning his house with Aeternum and swearing loyalty to its President, he not only secured the safety of his lands but also elevated his status to the Governor of Alemia.Under his leadership, the Western Region flourished. It became a shining example of what could be achieved under Aeternum’s rule—an oasis of peace, stability, and prosperity in a nation otherwise marred by war.The Western Alemia Region stood as
“The President’s arrival always signals a shift in momentum. Whatever he has planned, it will undoubtedly be decisive.”. (Colonel Giuseppe De Gianna)Eliza leaned forward, resting her elbows on her knees.“I don’t know about you, Giuseppe, but I’m itching to get started. The Central Region won’t know what hit them.”. (General Eliza)Giuseppe laughed lightly.“I wouldn’t expect anything less from you, General. Your energy is infectious. Though I must admit, I share your enthusiasm. The Eternal Night Division is ready to stand by your side, as always.”. (Colonel Giuseppe De Gianna)Eliza’s cheerful expression softened slightly, revealing a glimpse of her focused resolve.“Then let’s make sure everything is in place. When the President gives the word, I want the Northern Front to move like a storm.”. (General Eliza)While the Northern Front basked in the unchallenged dominance of the Aeternum Royal Air Force, the Southern Front was marked by grueling ground and naval warfare. Yet, under
The Northern Region of Alemia had become a bastion of order and stability under Aeternum’s relentless advance. Every step taken by the Aeternum forces under General Eliza’s leadership left a lasting mark—one of liberation and peace.Villages that once cowered under the shadow of constant raids now thrived. Markets reopened, children played in the streets, and trade routes flourished. The Aeternum forces didn’t just sweep through the land; they rebuilt it. Engineers, medics, and diplomats followed close behind the military, ensuring that each liberated territory was integrated seamlessly into the growing Aeternum domain.Enemy resistance, while sporadic, was met with calculated force. Eliza’s forces didn’t simply eliminate the threat; they dismantled the very foundations of the enemy’s control. Supply lines were cut, strongholds reduced to rubble, and leadership decapitated with precision strikes.It was no wonder that whispers of Aeternum’s inevitability began to spread. To the Alemia
The heavy doors of Georgina Castle closed behind me as I ascended to the upper floors, the weight of the day finally settling in. The castle’s architecture, a blend of medieval grandeur and modern Aeternum design, offered a commanding view of Georgina City. I stepped onto the balcony, the cool night air brushing against my face, and gazed out over the bustling city.“(Georgina has changed. Not long ago, these streets were plagued with crime and fear. Now, even at this hour, the lights shine brightly, and the sound of laughter echoes through the air.)”The city was alive. Markets remained open, their lanterns casting warm glows over vendors and customers alike. Groups of travelers from the surrounding regions roamed the streets, marveling at the safety and vibrancy that had become synonymous with Georgina.As I observed the scene, I reflected on the strategic importance of Georgina City. It wasn’t just another victory; it was a key to the eastern region of Alemia.“(Larger than New Sun
“Welcome back Your Highness…,”. (Major Fontana)Fontana said, his voice filled with respect. Lieutenant Colonel Selie stood tall beside him, her crisp uniform and confident demeanor a reflection of her discipline and efficiency. As my second in command, she had always been dependable, but it was her initiative and sharp mind that made her invaluable.“Selie,”.I said with a nod.“I trust everything has been handled in my absence?”.She stepped forward, falling into step beside me as we made our way to Georgina Castle.“Your Highness, I ensured that the troops stayed active during the lull. With the soldiers under my command, we eradicated every criminal faction and enemy cell within the city and its outskirts.”. (Lt. Colonel Selie)Selie’s report was precise, but her words carried a quiet pride.“The city is now completely secure. Trade routes are open, and the citizens are thriving. Georgina City isn’t just holding steady—it’s flourishing. Your troops are the reason for that.”. (Lt.
“I heard you were in your office,”. (Elijah)she began, her voice like a soft melody.“I thought you were supposed to be on the frontline.”. (Elijah)I rose to greet her, taking her hand in mine.“I decided to tackle the backlog first…You know, since I am here now… The frontline will wait—it’s moving at a deliberate pace anyway.”Her lips curved into a small smile, but her eyes lingered on me with concern.“You’ve been working yourself too hard. You didn’t even let anyone know you were coming back.”. (Elijah)Before I could reply, she gestured, and moments later, the kitchen staff entered, carrying trays laden with a sumptuous lunch.“I took the liberty of arranging this,”. (Elijah)she said, her tone light yet commanding.“You’ll eat properly today.”. (Elijah)I chuckled, guiding her to the table by the window.“You always know how to manage me, don’t you?”As we sat down to eat, the conversation shifted to lighter matters. Elijah’s grace and elegance made every interaction with her
“The Riverside Region will do just that. The fisheries will create jobs, stimulate local economies, and foster innovation in aquaculture. This isn’t just a project—it’s a movement toward a better future.”. (Andrea)As the meeting concluded, Andrea and the ministers were jubilant. Plans were already being set in motion to announce the news to the public, and excitement rippled through the Ministry.For me, the moment was bittersweet.“(Every step forward is a reminder of the distance yet to be traveled. But if the people can find joy in these small victories, then perhaps we’re on the right path.)”Sitting at the grand desk in the Ministry of Resource headquarters, I allowed myself a brief moment of satisfaction. Approving their proposals had been straightforward, but the significance of these decisions would ripple across Aeternum for years to come.“(This is what true leadership is about—empowering others to excel while maintaining control of the vision.)”I had barely spent an hour
