The whole time, the Monster Attacked happened, no once has Captain Daryl has shown his face. The top of the wall by now has already become bloody by both of the monster blood and also the dead bodies of Hallerus Kingdom soldiers. What at first was the time for stealing glory for Mage Wilson, now seeing that the battle has tilted towards the Hallerus Soldier to get the bitter end. He knows that he should not hogged the attentions anymore, should they survived this ordeal then for certain considering the lost that they have gotten right now and accumulate, this battle will be nothing but a blame from the kingdom.
He needed the useless captain to take the reign now, so that he can save himself from being punished nor even blame by the higher ups now. His over confidence has back fired when he has many times overestimated his drunken soldier and often time he had made a wrong moves. Just a few minute ago, he ordered the soldier at the ground to open the gate and let
“There’s Monster Horde at the City Wall!!!…everyone rushed there!!!…I want every single citizen stays in their Houses!!….Clear the Road!!!!..”. (Hallerus Lieutenant)The Chaos from the City Wall has long been dragged into the inside of the Hallerusia city. The citizen were escaping for their lives from the escaped Monster Horde that had gotten passed the barricade of the City Wall, running amok in the city, devouring anyone that is so much come across their path. The drunkards and the night dweller of the city, also were shook awake from their drunk stupor.The homeless were among the easiest dining menu for the horde, as they were bunch of them all over the city street. The usual business, that open late, the bars, the brothel rushed to close their doors and gate, fearing the monster would get in and not only ruined their business and place but also ending their lives. There also some adventurers, merc
“Back side secure..”. (Agent no. 19)“Right and Left Side Secure..”. (Agent no. 18 & 17)“Front Side Secure…Sir, We are ready to move…”. (Agent No. 2 & 3)Aeternum Infiltration Team has taken a Serpentine Formation, where all agent were placed in an almost straight line and with the shape of the terrain and the place that they were in right now, it was the best formations to use. Naturally this tactics can only be used for Aeternums as in Fantasma they were the only one that can utilizes this formations thanks to the firearms and the efficiency and the training that they have on their belt.“Paradise 1…the path has been marked….Stay in formation…we will take the straight route to the target..estimated time of arrival is…5 minutes..Everyone, ready…and Move out!…”. (Agent No.1 @ Glint Goldriv
“Clear!..Going in…Hallway Clear..”. (Agent No. 2)With what it seems like a seamless action without any sort of obstacles whatsoever, nothing has ever stopped the advance of the Aeternum Infiltration team. Since the start of their entrance inside the Hallerusia Palace Dungeon. No matter what come to stop their track, it was all stop before they even noticed that someone has ever comes into their turf.When the Iron gate into the Dungeon were broken into, Aeternum Infiltration team has encounter over 20 Hallerus Palace guards, that were guarding inside of the Dungeon. Also, by the looks of these inside of the dungeon, the entire dungeon weren’t devoid of prisoners like any other jails nor even dungeon that should exist all over Fantasma. Instead the Entire Dungeon was actually filled with prisoners, ever since Aeternum Infiltration team, entered the Dungeon, every cell that they passed through were filled with it&rsqu
Hidden inside the midst of Chaos inside of the Hallerusia City. Without anyone knowing, the Palace and also the Dungeon of the palace were both being attacked. Not by a monster but instead, another existence that were extremely effective as killing machine.It has been 10 minutes since Paradine leads her team inside of the dungeon and 5 minutes ago, they have separated from Alfred, as he still have some more important mission to accomplish. Ever since then, Paradine and her entire team has scoured almost the entire Dungeon, starting from the first floor and right nos they were at underground floor number 3. Each floor they cleared one by one, making sure that it was clean from any resistance.Although they appearance and also them killing all the guards as soon st they were spotted were noticed by all the prisoners. None of the prisoners were even dared to asked them anything, shouted for help nor even wanted to look at them. Bec
After nearly 2 weeks in captivity, Finally Duchess Marriane Murr, sees the ray of hope appeared before her, and it was Paradine and her team. She who is at first very weak to even opened her eyes to looked at the foreigners that come inside of her cell, managed to muster her courage and energy to see who is it. As soon as she saw the weird dressed that her visitor were wearing ans as well as the Firearms in their arms, she knew immediately that the one that comes to her rescue. Is none other that the Aeternum, Because the were no other country nor people that would dressed up like them and carry the same weapon as them.“Madam Duchess, don’t force yourself…rest easy….Vital are stable…light injuries visible….ankle fracture and shoulder fracture…Malnourished….Madam Paradise…we have no problem in moving her…her conditions might be worsened…I will apply the first aid..”. (Sergeant Lilli
“Yes Madam!…everyone to your position move!..”. (Agent No.1 @ Glint Goldriver)Although what Paradine said might be simple to others but, to Aeternums soldier and the like of Agents that were around her at this time, it was a words of assurance and calm to the already depressed bunch. Hearing that the failure were not because of them and also, they have done a great decision to save the body. Morale rise up again, Agent Glint then ordered his men to get back into formations as right ow they were in the second part of the mission which is extractions.“Hmm….I am fine now thank you….You were….Miss Paradine?..why are you here?…are you her to save me?..”. (Duchess Marriane Murr)After regaining her strength and enable her to think straight once more. Finally she saw the face that she remember very vividly, a person that she had the most contact with in Merrica City,
With Duchess Marriane regaining her strength and the ability to move her body freely again. Although she were still not fully back to her peak condition as a Tier 2 Wizard, but at least right now she can move around just fine. Paradine and her team a ready to move and escorted her away from the stuffy and dark dungeon.“Are you ready to move, Marriane?..”. (Paradine)Standing close to Paradine, after changing her already damaged dress, Right now The duchess were wearing Sergeant Lillie Moore reserved shirts and pant’s. her new appearance made her looked as if she were apart of the team, the only way to discerned that she weren’t apart of the team is that instead of a gun she was holding a sword that she took from the dead guard and also her long hair that were just simply tied into a ponytail. Her image was like an extremely rich TV personality that were only trying to become a soldier just for the sake of recording a
In a real life mission situations, there were a lot that can go side ways and not everything will go towards what exactly we want. NO matter how hard we were going to control a situations there will be always small thing that will delayed or even impacted the entire mission. Some might made the mission ended spectacularly with a success, and some might even doomed the entire mission in a single swoop.And currently that is what is happening at the moment, Paradine suddenly called me, and said that Duchess Marriane Murr has a proposition for me. All she wanted is to save another captives, which in these situations is quite a hard decision to make, as this would made Paradine task would be much harder. Since Paradine were already in the dungeon and already have the Duchess in her hand. Then for sure that Alfred is currently busy with his own tasked of dealing with the Hallerus Inner Palace.“...so you were saying that…there a a fe
The steady march of Aeternum’s progress into the Forbidden Wasteland was unlike anything the world had ever seen. For centuries, the wasteland had been regarded as a cursed, barren land, an uninhabitable stretch of desolation where only the desperate, the exiled, and the forgotten remained. To other nations, it was nothing more than a footnote in history—something to be ignored or used as a dumping ground for undesirables. But to Aeternum, it was an opportunity.Unlike previous expansions, this was not one of conquest. No blood had been spilled, no war had been waged, and no armies had been forced to raise their weapons. The method was simple: diplomacy and trust. And the key to making it work? Demi-humans.Eighty percent of the troops sent to the Wasteland were demi-humans, representatives of Aeternum’s true inclusivity and its staunch opposition to racial discrimination.The people of the Wasteland—once scattered, fearful, and wary—began to see that Aeternum was different. That here
“I never thought I would see the day where women could openly run businesses without seeking permission from a noble,” remarked a young woman named Clara, who had just been hired as a government administrator. “Not only are we allowed… We are encouraged.”The sentiment was shared by many. For the first time, people could dream beyond the limitations imposed upon them for generations. The concept of meritocracy was foreign, but it was a reality they now embraced wholeheartedly.Meanwhile, beyond the borders of Alemia, the world was watching with wary eyes. The Hallerus Kingdom and Visma Nation, once eager to stretch their influence into the fractured region, had gone eerily silent. The Battle Star Empire, which had often viewed Aeternum as a rising force, now observed in stunned silence. Aeternum’s display of power had not only reshaped Alemia but had sent an undeniable message to the world—Aeternum was not to be underestimated.As the sun set over the newly paved roads of Alemia, the
Across the city, similar moments were happening everywhere. Human merchants learning from Dwarven blacksmiths, Elven teachers educating Alemia’s children, and Aeternum officers watching over the city, ensuring that all races were treated as equals. The Alemia Region was changing, whether its people were ready or not.But change wasn’t easy.There were still murmurs in the shadows. Some old nobles, stripped of their power, whispered bitterly about the “corruption” of their homeland. Some former Alemia soldiers, now reduced to manual labor as part of their light sentences, struggled with the shame of their defeat. Yet even among them, realization was dawning. One former soldier, now working as part of the city reconstruction team, wiped the sweat from his brow and took a long look at the city around him.“I used to fight for this place,” he muttered to himself. “Thought I was protecting it.” He watched as an Aeternum Airship passed overhead, its sleek design a stark contrast to the medi
For the first time, Aeternum’s rise could no longer be ignored.The world had assumed that Aeternum would struggle to maintain Alemia. Instead, Aeternum had turned it into a thriving model of efficiency. The message was clear: Aeternum was not just a power to be reckoned with. It was the future, and to whomever that wanted to try the waters, be ready to pay the price.As the sun set over Alemia’s newly paved highways, as trucks carried goods without fear of bandits, and as women worked jobs once denied to them, the people of Alemia finally understood the truth.They had not been conquered. They had been saved.For Joana, Harla, and thousands of others, their lives had truly begun.But beyond Alemia’s borders, the silence from the other nations was deafening.How long would they remain passive? Would they accept Aeternum’s dominance—or would they resist? No one knew. But one thing was certain. The world had changed and would continue to change, and there was no going back.The streets
A Nation in Motion is what going on with Alemia was no longer the land it once was. The moment Queen Romella signed the surrender documents, Alemia stopped being a failed nation. It was now a region of Aeternum—a land no longer ruled by nobles but governed with precision, order, and progress.The war was over, but the real work had just begun.From the moment the Aeternum banner was raised over the Alemia Royal Palace, the region plunged into an era of transformation. The first and most critical step? Infrastructure.The Roads That Would Bind a Nation, fast track to the new future, this is what everyone believed and what the Ministry of Resource introduce this project to the world."The highways will be the veins of the new Alemia," Minister Andrea of the Resource and Infrastructure Ministry declared. "Through them, we will pump life back into every corner of this land."The words were not just rhetoric. Even before the final battle for the Alemia Capital, Aeternum engineers had alrea
Alemia’s Dawn Under Aeternum’s Banner started on a new day with calm and serene atmosphere, The war had ended, and with it, Alemia’s dark age had come to a close. For the first time in generations, the Alemia people were no longer bound by fear, oppression, or the chains of war. Now, under Aeternum’s governance, the nation had one goal—reconstruction.The grand undertaking began the morning after the official surrender. The Alemia Royal Palace, once a place of corruption and incompetence, had now become the Aeternum Alemia Regional Administrative Headquarters—the center of operations for the reconstruction effort.From here, President Kaiser Mies Sai, alongside key government officials, military officers, and industry leaders, began organizing the largest rebuilding project in the history of the continent.Among the first and most ambitious projects undertaken was Project Phoenix, a nationwide highway system that would span from the north to the south, linking every major city, town,
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Royal Sword of Power, the very symbol of the Alemia Monarchy’s rule!"The sword, beautifully crafted and inlaid with gold, had been passed down for generations. It was also the very sword that were handed by President Mies to Queen Romella after the first civil war was over and thus made her at that time the queen of Alemia nation.With both hands, Queen Romella extended the sword to President Mies Sai, lowering her head in a sign of absolute surrender.He took it firmly."And now, the Crown of the Alemia Royal Family. The symbol of rulership for centuries—now being handed over to Aeternum."Slowly, Romella removed her crown, her once-proud head now bared, and placed it before the President. Signify that this is truly the moment where the Von Alemia Family, the Monarch of Alemia Nation reign ended and with this everything is complete.The transfer was complete."With this, the Alemia Nation has ceased to exist. From this moment forward, it shall be k
As the 10Am approaches, people around the world, all of them eagerly waited for the live broadcast of the Surrendered moments, the final hour of Alemia Nation, a nation that deserved to be put down, Live from the Alemia Royal Palace—The Historic Moment Unfolds, with DJ Skelly and Quara Raedrim, will be retelling and commenting everything on the scene."Good morning, Aeternum and Alemia! This is DJ Skelly and Quara Raedrim, reporting live from the Alemia Royal Palace on this momentous occasion. We are standing in the Royal Audience Chamber, now transformed into the official venue where Alemia Nation will formally surrender to Aeternum. The air is charged with anticipation as we bring you the latest updates in real-time!""That’s right, Skelly. Today, history is being made. The war has ended, and now, at exactly 10:00 AM, we prepare to witness the final chapter of this long and arduous conflict. The chamber is filled with distinguished guests—high-ranking officials from Aeternum, esteem
Elsewhere in the palace, Vice President Elijah En Quers made her way toward Queen Romella’s private chambers.Despite everything that had happened, despite Romella's failure as a ruler, there was a time when the two of them had been close friends.Back when Romella first took the throne, she had often sought Elijah’s guidance, eager to learn how to govern effectively.But over time, power had consumed her.Now, as Elijah entered the queen’s chambers, she was met with a surprisingly subdued Romella. Gone was the arrogance, the extravagant dresses, the over-the-top displays of wealth.Instead, the woman before her looked… human.Tired. Defeated. Romella sat by the window, gazing out at the city, where Aeternum banners now flew proudly."I knew you’d come," she murmured without turning around.Elijah crossed her arms. "Did you?"Romella sighed. "You warned me about this. You told me I was walking the wrong path. I just… didn’t listen."For a moment, there was silence.Then, finally, Elij
