“What the hell is this?! …how this …. this ‘Olivia’ scrutinized a royal, like that!!! …. I wan her found and captured!! …. I will hang this wench, myself!!!”. (Crown Prince Amaris)Inside the Crown Prince Amaris camp, as expected the crown prince enraged at the newly broadcasted news segments, and in an instant throwing his massive tantrum around, eager to hanged the lady called Olivia for slandering the royal.“FIND THAT WENCH!!!!...I want her dead!!...I want her family DEAD!!!!...Find her!!!”. (Queen Romella)Inside the Alemia Palace, Queen Romella also showed the same unsightly reaction as her son. Rage and anger consume her after she were criticized, on the radio news segments, as soon as the radio broadcast come back on.On both side of the warring camps instead of worrying about the other parties might launch an attack on one and another, instead the soldiers, by the whim of their leaders, were let loose to find a lady name Olivia, a useless attempt that is wasting everyone time
“Bina, how’s things on your side?”.“[Things on my side, is as normal as it can be….my soldiers are always ready for any combat ….as we waited for the Central Region assault to begin…my men had already vanquished 80% of this region criminal hideouts…the Southern Region, is now 100% cleared of any pirates…]”. (Bina)“…all the pirates, is gone?”.“[Rather than gone, we hunted them all down to extinction…and, Sir, these pirates…. they are all unbelievably rich…. the amount of gold coins in their coffers, said and proofed that they have been colluding or even founded by the nobles on this region, for a long, long time...]”. (Bina)Not that surprising, after all, a lot of those southern noble and lord were all Shaddy, when the first civil war takes place, not a single one of them appeared before me. But as soon as we retreat from Alemia nation, all of them just suddenly popped out, like a mushroom after the rain.“Well…it seems that we need to thank them for their own manufactured stupidit
I suppose I am a little bit fired up at the moment. To the point that everyone on the press conference were also affected by the unintentional motivation that I am giving out. With a fervent support and renewed motivation from everyone, we ended the video conference, everyone will be preparing everything for the final assault. And for me, as the time of the attack is 2 days from now, I felt a little bit inclined to relaxed a little bit. I have been in Fantasma for far too long this time, about 4 months.“T.A.S. tell Elijah and the others that I am going back to earth a little bit…”.Since I am about to head back to Earth, as always, I cannot just go and disappear, so I naturally had to informed Elijah and the others and also the Castle staffs as well. The Staffs were reminded that I have locked myself inside my study room, for a time of meditation before the war and should not be disturbed.“[Will do, Master… by the way, our Virtue Financial, has been doing rather fine as of lately...
“RING! ~ …Oh hello, Catherine …How are you?”.Whilst I am still inside my bathtub, as always, catherine phone call, comes through first. I just turned on my phone as I got back, as always there were tons of chats and missed calls appearing on the screens. Catherine calls made it through first and I answered them.“[Um…good evening, Sir…. wait a minute, I’ll hand over the phone, to Madam Catherine………Mies...are you there?]”. (Catherine Kent)“…Yes, I’m here….by the way…did you have your assistant to always call me every day, just in case I picked up?”.“[Of course...you being a hermit contribute to that.]”. (Catherine Kent)Turns out, the way she always tries to contact me, whenever something comes up, is that she would always call me on this phone, constantly, and that work of calling my phone were handed down to her team of personal assistant. She was aiming for the ‘just in case’ situation where I would pick up my phone. And today, I did, and that’s why her team of personal assistant
“[We got an issue with our Virtue Medical’s….]”. (Catherine)“Okay, what is it?”.“[The States are ‘urging’ a few other nations… to support their attempts to break open our VH-Serum and our VH-Extensive Treatment… They wanted our technology and they wanted it restricted and controlled…]”. (Catherine)“Oh…okay… I guess, the previous lesson, I gave them…is stern enough, I guess….”.It was typical of a corrupted government, especially those that were controlled by the mega corporation to do something like this. They wanted what is mine and right now they go around the world, touted to everyone else that my stuffs are theirs, whilst the entire world already know that Virtue Financials, is its own private entity, belonged solely to me and no one else. I already teach them a lesson, before, by retracting all the support from all medical sector in the states. Now they wanted to play with me again, I supposed they might think that I am afraid to them.“Catherine…. I want all, the CEOs from ev
“[Mies…]”. (Catherine)“I don’t care what they are doing or where they are right now… I want them all there in 72 hours….no excuses…”.“[ Got it…My side will send everyone a summon right now….do you want me to come with you….to Manila, or we just meet there?]”. (Catherine)“No, I go there myself… also, put this message in that summon as well …anyone that had done something shady under my umbrella… correct their mess before they get to Manila in 72 hours… or I will deal with them myself…”.“[…Alright, Boss…. see you there…]”. (Catherine)There were few people that were messing around, and the ease that I gave them, got to their heads. I just gone for a few months and a mess like this happened so easily and it got that far, this time the Virtue Financials and its families of company, will get shaken like a tree in a storm. People need to be reminded, that they are working for me, not with or above me.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Catherine…what is going on? ....”. (Maria Hills)The now CEO of Virtue Medical, Maria walked into the office, and were in shocked to see the entire building were like in the middle of a warzone, and as she arrived at the Secretariat floor, Catherine were in the middle of the office floor, commanding everyone like a general in war.“Oh! …Maria, sorry about the mess… also why are you here and not in Manila? ....”. (Catherine Kent)“Why should I be on the other side of the world?”. (Maria Hills)“Wait… you haven’t got the e-mail?”. (Catherine Kent)“No… I’m here for our lunch today, you said we should go out together… even Tanya and Stephanie were here…waiting for you downstairs…”. (Maria Hills)Stephanie Russo is now Virtue Powers CEO and Tanya Kate is now the Virtue Medical COO, today all 4 of these ladies were supposed to have lunch together, but apparently their plans had to be cancelled.“Sigh~ … I forgot… anyway, I don’t think that is possible today for me… and also for you as wel
“Mr. President…Mies Sai, the Virtue Financial owner is seen in Manila, sir… He just landed…. And also, the entire Virtue Financial Group companies are also heading to Manila as well…Sir, with all due respect…I think, Virtue Financial is about to respond to us…”. (CIA)“…Oh… Damnit...”. (The President)The Virtue Financial is about to respond is not at all a good thing for everyone. For months the government had tried to push Virtue Financial to ‘Share’ their medical field success, which a lot of the politician thought it would be a good idea. And when they found out that Virtue Financial Owner, Mies Sai, often went off to a long period of self-isolations, everyone thought that they can try pushing the other Virtue Financial figures to give up their secrets, before the man in questions come back and shot them down back in their places. But this time, all of them miscalculated their foolish attempts, the Man in Question comes back earlier than expected, and he is clearly moving faster t
“The Crown Prince’s forces are as undisciplined and chaotic as this file suggests?”Count Dracul, standing stiffly at attention, nodded firmly.“Yes, Lt. Colonel. They are barely a shadow of what they once were. Their troops are underfed, underpaid, and completely demoralized. The noble’s squabble among themselves, and neither the Crown Prince nor the Queen has the wit or leadership to unite them.”Selie raised an eyebrow, leaning back in her chair with an expression that was equal parts disbelief and disdain.“So, they’re little more than children playing at war,” she muttered under her breath, her sharp tone betraying her disappointment. “It’s almost laughable. If this is what they call leadership, it’s a wonder they lasted this long.”For the next few minutes, Selie cross-referenced every point in the dossier with Count Dracul. Every troop position, every supply depot, and every weakness listed was corroborated. Dracul’s responses were quick and precise, each answer adding weight t
“Count Dracul,”she began, her voice firm and unwavering,“I trust you’ve gathered the intelligence we requested. I need a full assessment of the current situation in the capital—numbers, key locations, morale, everything.”Count Dracul inclined his head and moved to his desk, retrieving a thick file of documents.“Of course, Lt. Colonel. I anticipated your arrival and prepared these reports. They contain detailed accounts of the enemy’s troop movements, the state of the Queen’s court, and the overall morale of the capital’s populace.”He handed the file to Selie with both hands, his gaze flickering nervously as she began flipping through the pages with meticulous precision. The room fell silent save for the sound of rustling paper. Dracul, despite his composed exterior, felt a bead of sweat trail down his temple. Selie’s reputation for strictness was well-known, and he could only hope his work met her exacting standards.Selie’s sharp eyes scanned the documents, her brow furrowing sl
“You know, it’s said that the Maidens could topple an entire city if they wanted. I mean, we’re special forces, but compared to them…”He trailed off, shaking his head. Lionel smirked, glancing back at the young sergeant.“Compared to them? We’re kids playing soldier, Miles. But remember this: tonight, we’re part of something bigger. So, keep your head in the game.”After an hour of steady driving, the convoy finally came to a halt roughly one kilometer east of Alemia Capital City. The soldiers disembarked quietly, their boots crunching softly against the dirt. The chilly night air bit at their skin, but it wasn’t the cold that sent shivers down their spines—it was the sight before them.In the faint moonlight, Alemia Capital City loomed in the distance like a wounded giant. Its once-mighty walls were battered and crumbling, scars of relentless conflict etched into its stone.Surrounding the city, like a cancerous growth, were countless makeshift camps—hundreds of thousands of tents s
“The Maidens will lead the mission. Their unmatched skills, combined with the support of the Special Forces under Captain Lionel, will ensure success. This is a surgical operation—precision and stealth are paramount.”Lionel chuckled softly, leaning back in his chair.“Well, I can’t say I’m surprised. Watching the Maidens in action is a rare privilege, and I’d be lying if I said my team wasn’t looking forward to it.”Selie smirked.“Captain, try not to get too distracted. We still need you to keep up.”Lionel held up his hands in mock surrender.“Noted, Colonel. I’ll make sure my team stays focused.”I stood from my chair, signaling the seriousness of the mission.“Selie, you and the Maidens will infiltrate the capital. Your objectives are threefold: map the city’s fortifications, gather intelligence on troop deployments, and locate key targets for our final assault. Captain Lionel, your team will support from a distance—ensuring extraction points are secure and ready for the operatio
With that thought, I turned my focus back to the map, ready to guide my army toward the final battle. On the third day of our march, we finally reached the designated halting point in the Eastern Region. Here, our army was to temporarily stop and wait for the other fronts to arrive at their own respective rendezvous points.Among the five regions, my Eastern troops were the second to reach their location. The Western Troops, led by General Lucas and Governor Duke Oliver Gust, had been the first to arrive, thanks to their unopposed journey. As my men began constructing the temporary forward operating base (FOB), a mix of activity unfolded. Engineers worked quickly to establish defensive perimeters, while soldiers erected tents and prepared their rations. Rest rotations were enforced so the troops could rejuvenate themselves for the final phase of the campaign."We’re nearing the end. Every effort now is one step closer to liberating the entire Alemia Nation. Let the troops rest; soon,
"When this war ends, Alemia will rise again, stronger and united under Aeternum. And this march—this slow, deliberate march—is the first step toward that brighter future."With that thought, I turned back toward the command post, ready to oversee the next phase of our campaign.Our troops pressed forward with relentless efficiency, their pace never faltering despite the numerous side missions I tasked to the detachment units. Each liberated settlement followed the same protocol: Capture of Lords: Every noble or lord who held sway over the settlement was immediately captured and sent to Georgina City for judgment. These lords, guilty of oppressing their people, represented the old regime—a relic that had no place in the new Alemia under Aeternum rule. Establishing Order: The local guards were disbanded, their weapons confiscated, and a new administration was set up. Four of my trusted soldiers were stationed in each settlement to oversee governance, ensuring law, order, and security we
"Commander Bravo reports success in the town of Greenwill. Hostile resistance neutralized. The population is secure and stabilized.""Detachment Echo has liberated the village of Windcliff. No casualties, local leaders have pledged loyalty to Aeternum governance."Each report filled me with pride. These were not just military victories but also symbolic steps toward a better future for Alemia. As I gazed out of the vehicle window, watching the endless column of soldiers, vehicles, and supplies move steadily forward, I reflected on the strategy.There was no need to rush. Our overwhelming superiority meant that time was on our side. The final battle would come soon enough. For now, every slow step forward was an opportunity to stabilize and rebuild, ensuring that no shadow of rebellion could remain."Let others see this not just as a march to war but as a march of progress. Each town secured, each village stabilized is another foundation stone for the future of Alemia under Aeternum’s
“You want to speak with the president?”.Lieutenant Colonel Selie spoke with a quizzical tone in her voice, although the town had been liberated and his mission are basically completed, Captain Lionel felt the need to give the full extent of his reports on how he was able to liberate the town. After all the town surrendered to him before he was able to even fire a single shot from his firearms. This situation is rather odd, and he need the president to know everything about it, just so that he can take actions to deal with anything that might come up afterwards. So, the phone call turned into a brief awkward silence for a little bit, as the Lieutenant Colonel on the other side were thinking about his request.“Well… since you had performed well…. I will reward you with a direct line to the president himself…”.“I… Thank you, madam…”.Lionel was very appreciative about his Lieutenant Colonel giving him permission to speak with the president.“Don’t worry about it… in fact, you aren’t
From the safety of her balcony, an elderly woman raised her hands to the sky, tears streaming down her face.“Thank you, Aeternum. Thank you for saving us!”Parents clutched their children close, explaining with hopeful smiles what this change meant for their future. Young adults and teens cheered in the streets, their voices ringing with newfound hope.The celebratory mood reached a crescendo as the Aeternum Special Forces, alongside town guards, began systematically detaining the corrupt elites. The crowd’s energy shifted to awe as they watched the once-mighty nobles, lords, and wealthy merchants dragged out of their grand carriages. Dressed in their opulent attire, the elite now looked out of place, bewildered, and terrified.“These are the ones who’ve stolen from us!”cried a farmer, his voice echoing with righteous anger.“Justice at last!”another voice shouted, met by roaring cheers of agreement. Despite their emotions, the townsfolk knew better than to interfere. The authority
