Everyone in Hallerus know that the King is a tyrant and also crazy, so no one dared to say anything about his fanatic action. Should they said anything , who knows that it might offended the King and then not only got themself a free hanging but then their entire family and even generation will be purged from Fantasma. That is how crazy the king were, to the point even his wisest minister just kept his mouth shut the whole time, and just nodded in agreement with whatever the king wants.
One of the King Robert mistake, was actually a very simple one, it was neglect. He has simply just being over confidence with the efficiency of his security, that after their many successful capture and killing of the intruders, he didn’t bother to make any plans anymore. But rather he just let go of everything and left the planning as it is or rather gave the task to his generals. But little that he knows there were always conflict happened when, a group of generals that c
With the Numbers of Alfred side Instead of getting panicked nor even felt threatened, he made that walking inside the enemy Palace looks like he was taking a stroll, And of course thanks to the President order previously, he acted like he was shopping, because with every step he took, everything that wasn’t nailed down to the floor and wall, everything were being picked up by all the Skeletal Boys and were thrown into Alfred Spatial Storage Spells.“Hmmm~this king is clearly one of the Church close ally…I never thought the church would actually give this holly items to him~..well anyway in you go~…”. (Alfred)At one sections of the North Plaza hallway, almost to the King Chamber, there were a whole section at he side of the hallway, that were filled with decorations from the Church of Light, and in those collections all of them were all holy items, that can actually cause a little harm to Alfred. One of which
The whole journey to the King Chamber were nothing short of an adventure of discovering humanity dark side. Alfred witnessed the Cardinal abusing a child, a General raping the palace maid, a Knight raping another guards. All sort of weirdness just plague this Palace, as if it was the ground for sinful activities. That oddity resume even into the King Chamber, where the king is found in the middle of his orgy with 4 concubines.Naturally, when Alfred and the Skeleton boys comes in there were chaos in the room but soon, it was settled down, as all the concubines were now headless, and King Robert were now suffering the torture of his life, being cut limb by limb and finally it was ended with his regretful woes, when his head were decapitated by Alfred himself.“Sire..the King is dead now….I guess the whole nation will be in an uproar by tomorrow..”. (Alfred)Speaking with the President in the phone, Alfr
Outskirt of Hallerusia City.In the middle of the Chaotic monster horde attack on the magnificent, Hallerusia City walls, far outside the city wall itself, near the forest on the eastern side of the city outskirt, Paradine and her team has already preparing their part to move out and left this part of the Fantasma. By now they have already achieved their objective of Saving Duchess Marriane, and safely escorted her out of the City, as of right now they were only waiting to complete the 2ndphase of the mission, which is to deliver her back to her husband safe and sound.“Thank you, Duchess Marriane, for saving my life…I don’t know just how much longer I would survive, if I were to live in that wretched dungeon a day longer…”. (General Wolfgard)General Wolfgard, were one of the prisoners that were saved by the Request of the Duchess Marrian
Merrica City, Aeternum Consulate.Paradine party just arrived last night, ans surely she brought a good news with her, She’s not only managed to saved the Duchess, which completed my promise to Duke Merrica, but she also managed to safely empty the entire Royal Palace Dungeon of it’s Prisoners. Which in my opinion were a good additions to the conflict in our hands that would made the entire throne accession a whole lot easier and much less work.After last night prison break, I finally have the total number of the people that were against the old crazy king, and it was astonishing number to behold. All the nobles, generals, merchants and influential figure that were kept in captivity in the dungeon that support the government change in actually 70% of the entire Kingdom. These people were the one that really have the guts and power to make a change in the Hallerus Kingdom, unlike the remaining 30% that were
“What President said is correct, Miss Paradine…although if we just stroll into the palace nothing will stop us…but after that….there will be a trouble..but, by following our original plans…….we can avoid the possibility of problems…after all that detestable Church..once they heard that the new Hallerus were supported by us….they will surely would want to hold back on their ridiculous story…. as to not further take gamble to anger Aeternum…As of now..Aeternum were the only threat to them…and they already know..how fearsome Aeternum were…”. (Alfred)“Hmmmm…Not to mention that…with the wound that you guys have done to the Hallerus Palace…I doubt nothing would happened…and this will give us ample time to do our plans….”.I know for sure that, the death of the King and the chaos that Paradine and her team had lef
As of now, Honestly said, Aeternum is barely have the capacity nor the expertise to produce a good Navy, therefore Aeternum had to rely on Eloesa Kingdom for this, as they were already establish fearsome Navy forces. What Aeternum can do to further strengthen that is to provide all the equipment, and ship for them to do their jobs. As of now the Ships that Aeternum has provided for them were just a simple patrol boats that President Mies has brought previously, but that alone were already enough for them to utilized everything to the fullest, although there were only 5 patrol and engine powered boats for the Eloesa to use. But every single boats were already modified to use Mana core Based fuel and also mounted with heavy machine gun for attacking purposes.With such arsenal in the hand of an astonishing Navy fighter, they would only need a few days of training before they can use not only the weapons but also maneuvering the boats like a fish in the sea. Then p
Merrica City, Murr Family Estate, Duke Merrica Mansion.After the rescue done by the Paradine team and the rest have finally and safely reached the Murr Territory and Merrica City, it was a huge relief to Duke Merrica to see that his wife finally back in his arms, safe and sound. Naturally this success and happy news not only a relief to Duke Merrica but also Princess Helen, because after all, she can’t be more happy to see that her now supporter finally can do his best to contributes to her cause, also finally seeing that her only sane sister back safe and sound.According to Paradine right after the mission, she said that, President Mies has arranged for the Princess to follow up with the already arranged plans, she even handed a few documents that would requires her attentions, in all, the Aeternums want’s the Princess as well as her entire party to leave for Aeternum Capital City today. But,
With the figure as General Wolfgard, Duke Merrica and Count Kabronel supporting the Princess, naturally the entire room can read the atmosphere and everyone ultimately agreed to support the Princess in her venture to become the Queen Of Hallerus. Everyone including the princess can already sense that this time nothing will stop her on her way to the throne, all they had to do, is just follow the plans that the President of Aeternum has already in store for them.After a full rest of one day, Once again Paradine and her Sergeant went and visited the Duke estate, asking whether the Princess and her entourage were ready for the road to the New City. This time they no longer delaying and instead immediately went and followed Paradine and her team, all the way to the Merrica City Airport.At this point of the day, especially the morning and the afternoon, Merrica City Airport that hosted the famous Aeternum Airship were filled with people and bus
“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
“Because we’ve seen what happens to those who oppose Aeternum. You bring order, prosperity, and justice—things this town has been starved of for decades. Our so-called lords have fled like rats, but the people... they welcome you with open arms.”Lionel nodded, his grip on his weapon easing.“Very well. Gather your men and have them lay down their weapons. My team will oversee the transition of control.”Luis complied immediately, issuing orders to the remaining guards to disarm and report to Aeternum’s soldiers. As the formalities were completed, Lionel turned to Marlow.“Get on the comms and update the President. Black Eagle Town is officially under our control.”Marlow smirked.“This might be the easiest mission we’ve ever had.”Lionel chuckled.“Don’t jinx it, Marlow. We’re not done yet.”Word of the surrender spread quickly among the townsfolk. The celebration that had started with the sight of Aeternum helicopters now reached a fever pitch. Children ran through the streets shout
Children ran through the streets, mimicking the sound of helicopters with their arms outstretched like blades. Mothers wept tears of joy, holding their children close. Fathers stood tall, their hearts swelling with hope for the first time in years.Within minutes, Black Eagle Town was under complete control of the Aeternum Army. The streets were silent, save for the disciplined movements of the soldiers securing their positions. The nobles and lords, now trapped within the town, huddled together in their carriages, their faces pale and their dreams of escape shattered.From his carriage, Baron Mikhail peeked out at the soldiers surrounding the gates. His voice quivered as he muttered,“It’s over... We can’t escape.”The arrival of Aeternum’s Iron Birds and their soldiers had turned the tide. What had once been a town divided between oppressors and oppressed was now united under a single banner—the banner of Aeternum. For the people of Black Eagle Town, this was more than just the arri
News of Aeternum’s Army had spread like wildfire, but even the swiftest whispers across the land had not prepared the people for this. Just hours after hearing that the army was mobilizing, Black Eagle Town found itself under the shadow of Aeternum’s infamous Iron Birds.“Impossible!”Johny Eagle exclaimed, his voice filled with awe as he gazed at the helicopters hovering above.“How can they already be here?”The patrons of his underground tavern murmured in agreement; their eyes wide as they watched the scene unfold from the streets.“It’s them,”Melinda said with certainty.“No one else has those flying machines. It’s the Aeternum Army.”All around them, the townsfolk shared similar sentiments. The speed at which Aeternum moved was nothing short of miraculous to the common people. To those who had lived under tyranny and chaos, it felt like divine intervention. While the nobles and lords continued their desperate attempts to flee the town, their carriages grinding to a halt as the
