“Wah~~…Is that Princess Helen?…she is….beautiful!…”. (Merrica City commoner)
“sob!..Sob!..our poor Princess…despite her harsh life..she still haven’t forgot of us mere subjects!!…”. (Merrica City Grandmother)
“Your Highness!!…we pray for your Victory!!!…Long live Princess Helen!!!..”. (Merrica City crowd)
The side of the road in Merrica City were flooded with people, all of them were cheering and chanting glory to Hallerus, some were even wailing seeing the sight of the young princess waving heroically, donning her armor and wielding her sword at the front most of the convoy. She simply look heroic, inspirational even. Which is something that she never thought she would be lifted and seen like so.
“MY PEOPLE!!…I HELEN HALLERUS!!..WILL RETURN VICTORIOUS!!!!!….SOLDIER!!!..MARCH!!!..&rdq
“For someone who’s about to descend into a war…you still have time to be surprise of things like this….anyway..snap out of it…I got some rather annoying news to share with both of you…well Princess Helen especially…Look here..”.I already read both of the letter, and both of them were of the same content more or less. It was a demand and laces with arrogant threat. Annoying as it may seems, but still I consider those Visma Nation were a threat, but not for this war, but rather the development of Hallerus Kingdom in reconstructions period.“Blasphemous!!..How darer that bastard Visma dare to plot of such things?!!..”. (Princess Angela Seraphim)Rather than Princess Helen, Angela were the one that fumed as soon as she read the letter. Visma Nation were trying to stab Hallerus in the back as the War of succession were undergoing. Quite a devise method I could
[She is quick to asses her own situations..and even know to utilize her own capacity…I am sure if you teach her, she might have the making of an Emperor…]. (T.A.S)I agree with T.A.S assessment of the Princess, she is still young but, dedicated and calm minded. She knows how strong the First World Alliance was and trusted the deals that we have signed, most of the people of this age, wanted to just took the entire capital as gloriously as possible with overwhelming victories. Instead she were thinking about her future, if Hallerus suffers a defeat at the Southern border as she was ascending the throne. This would not only troubles her with another threat, but also dropped her image and prestige, as someone who would lead Hallerus to a New age as she had promised.“Great call…you have to first be on the throne…before dealing with Visma Nation threat…..for this we need to take over the Capital before an
Hallerus Kingdom, Hallerusia Capital City.Hallerus Kingdom as of few years back has been rather shaky and it has never before seen that the country that existed after the Forgotten Era has fall to this state of insecurity and chaos. Hallerus was a proud nation in Central Continent, but the same cannot be said to the leadership of King Robert, right after the lose of his wife, since then the nation took a very visible downfall. Everything just went absolutely doomed, whether it’s economy, security or corruption, everything that is bad was becoming a norm, especially in Hallerusia.After the annoucement of Second Prince Robert the 2nd, the city has been in alarmed state, since then the lives of the city dweller has becoming harsh and harsher. Soldier were running around and doing nothing but holing up in nearby taverns, thugs become more daring and terrorize the city, Merchant hiking up the price of eve
Many customers of the Morning Glory Grocery store, felt the pain of Madam Yoni, and the ladies were all flock to her, helping her sat down and comforting her. Since they have ever known, this store although run down, this were the only store in the city that never hiked up their prices, Madam Yoni although she was a dwarven, she treated everyone with fairness and kind. The slums and the Commoners rely on the store kind prices to survive each days, because of this Madam Yoni and her husband Mister Yoni were well known and liked by many.But looks like in Hallerusia even the kindest people would never be left alone by those bastards soldiers and nobles. Ever since a few weeks ago, many men and young men were taken from their home in the middle of the night were forcefully enlisted into the many nobles personal army. Since then many families has lost their bread winner and since then many harbor hatred towards the nobles, soldiers and the palace. But what can a com
“Hey…don’t get annoyed with me..I just following orders Ma’am…you know How High General was…if the president is coming…she would put pressure on all of us..she want nothing but perfections…”.(First Lieutenant Gremog)“<Sigh~>…I know…She’s always like that…these days..these capital is just too suffocating…it’s annoy me so much that I want to go to shopping when I got back…”. (Captain Linda)Everyone can feel the depression from the Captain as she rubs her temple in frustration. Despite Gremog and Linda were from different division, Linda ranks were much more higher and also she was a Maiden, so everyone have to really care for her moods.“...you should, Captain…I heard that Maiden Secrets just release a new lines for this new season…”. (First Lieutenant Gremog)
“it was time we took actions!….Operation Midnight Shadow is a go!…The D-Day is tomorrow…I want all tasked complete before the daylight shows…..Let’s give our President a grand entrance!…”. (Captain Linda)“YES MADAM!!…”. (Everyone)For every single Aeternums soldiers in this store and even on this city, it was finally time for them to take actions and change this tiring and suffocating situations in this city, took revenge of every injustice that they see so far. One Person that is particularly very excited about this was obviously Captain Linda. Finally she can kill all those bastard that looking down and her and harassing her, not only that she could also pay the nobles of all the injustice that they have done.“[Hello….is it Linda?..]”. (President Mies)After everyone mobilize and left the store to do their
Hallerusia Capital city, Hallerus Kingdom.It was just as always in Hallerusia City night time, the poorly lighted houses and roads, the gloomy atmosphere, lifeless as ever, since the lockdown of the city. But in the midst of the emptiness, Shadows of Aeternum and change has started to move. It was the time for the first phase of operation Midnight Shadow, Separations.“This is Base to all unit,...Operation is a go…Begin Phase 1…I repeat, Begin Phase 1…”. ( First Lieutenant Angwil)Finally after Half Years of Aeternum Royal Military, Intelligence Division has made their base here on Hallerusia, this is the first time they were able to relief their stress and finally made a change. Inside of the Morning Glory Groceries Store on the First floor, First Lieutenant Angwil together with another 4 of the Intelligence Soldiers and with the lead of the Operation,
“Yeah…that’s my cover…wait…aren’t you that beggar on the market street?..”. (Staff Sergeant Angelina)“<Sigh~>…that’s me, Staff Sergeant…how lucky you got to be an adventurer…me…I get to be a freaking beggar…Next time, I definitely will be a merchant at the very least…”.(Corporal Harry)“...Now that’s somewhat a lukewarm upgrade…..Anyway..Ma’am…this is the order from Captain…she want our team to secure Count Mopius Mansion and his entire Estate…This is S class level order…she said that this mission must be done only by the the Intelligence Division….”.(Sergeant Jack)The heat of competition is definitely can be feel right now, after all everyone knows that the Special Force has arrived in town. Although everyone on the same side but, still many di
“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
