Right now, Central continent time, it was only 4 in the morning. But Aeternum Intelligence and Special Force division has managed to not only take over the strategic points, but actually already occupied the entire Hallerusia. The war is basically won, as of now, even if Aeternum with a few thousand soldier that launches the war, Aeternum could win without any casualties what so ever.
“Sir…is
In the morning of the usually boring Hallerusia Capital City. Many of the lazy guards finally woke up from their slumbers, surprisingly the entire night every single guards on the city wall were all have abandoned their duty, instead of keeping guards, every single one of them were sleeping after a whole night of drinking and enjoying themselves. Then again all this were thanks to all the new soldiers were nothing more than a thug on the streets that playing soldier.“...Oi..oi…wake up……I think we were in deep trouble…”. (Eastern Gate Guard)One of the guard that woke up early, were clearly shaken, and visibly shivering due to something. He tried to wake up his fellow guards whilst unable to keep his eyes away from the outside of the wall. Sweating despite the morning were as cold as winter. Groggily, the sleepy guard woke up, his situations were not special, in fact countless other guards both on this
“<KLANG!! KLANG!!..KLANG!!..>..Enemy attack!!…Enemy Attack!!…”. (Guards)The peaceful morning in Hallerusia Capital City were broken, due to loud clanking of warning bell, on all of the City wall keep, Not only that, the second the City wall warning bell were sounded, the Warning bell at the city church were also sounded, wanting to alarmed everyone that there was an incoming attack, not far ahead. The soldiers, were also sent to many parts of the city, as they were heading to the City Military base, the Soldiers were shouting on top of their lungs, warning the city dweller and whomever that heard them.“WHAT?!!…an attack?!!..by whom?!…”. (Hallerusia City Merchants)Many of the merchants, store owners and stall hawkers that woke up early in the morning, were stunned hearing the soldiers shouting about the enemy attacks, then once again, hearing the loud sound of b
Konnor and Lien Family were only among those that acted the same way, reacted fast to save themselves, knowing truly well, that those so called soldiers and noble would probably do nothing to help, rather they will only keep themselves safe from the incoming attack. In just 30 minutes, all over the city, the streets were empty and void of any living person. The city dweller were hiding in their house, locking their doors, in fear of getting attacked. The children and woman were hid from views and only men were inside the house in the open, with weapons in their hand, carefully watching the door, in case of any uninvited wanted to come in and harm their family.“Carly…it’s true….that guard..Mike…were telling the truth!…how..”. (Jensen)Jensen was Carly Brother in law and Jenny were her sister, in this 2 floor wooden house, Carly mother Jonny were also living here and her 2 nieces. There were only
“...Look how pitiful they were…We are already arrived here, standing…and even finished eating breakfast…just only now they realizes that we are here…Such a shameful display…Oh, no offense to you Princess Helen..”. (Crown Prince Amariss)Crown Prince Amariss, disdainfully said as he chuckled, seeing the guards of Hallerusia Capital City, scrambles and running around on top of the wall.“...Hmm..still, President Mies…this binocular thingy is very useful…without even using magic or spell, even without enchantment…I can see everything clearly…even thought it was far away…Hohohoho~..Oh look..that guard just fall down the stairs~..”. (Grand Magus Soo Kwan Hon)The old magus were instead playing with many of Aeternum machine and apparatus, it was as if everything were a new discovery to him, he and the other Wizard would surround my En
There is many thing that I have predicted for this war, including the winning percentage and even the losing percentage. But I never know that, the situation would be this bad and worst for my enemy of course, there is no sense of unity at all. I Know for sure that the situation inside of the city were bad, the divisive of the entire nobles, the situation of the current power struggle. But not to this extend. It was clearly those that were in the Palace were nothing but useless and incapable people that were only there to robbed the power and money, greedy bunch that don’t even know their own place, yet acted like they were the ruler and power.As for my side, there was nothing to worry, the adventurer and the Mercenary can be controlled but as a paid soldiers, if they decided to do other things aside from the initial thing that they were paid for, I need to pay them. Not that I really care, after all, thought they got this privileged, they were also under
In the midst of Chaos and fear of the incoming impending doom, All of Hallerusia dweller, and even the entire Hallerus Kingdom, were in their tense seats, doesn’t know what is about to happen and what is about to come down. But unbeknown to the Hallerusia Capital City, the people all over the Central continent and the Entire Hallerus, actually knows about the entire thing, the war and when the First World Alliance has arrived and what is going on.From the very first day, that the First world Alliance, departed from Aeternum New City, The news coverage has been non-stop, every time news segment comes up on the Air, it would talk about the current situations of the army their locations, what is going on and how and when the possible attack will happened. Not to mention, there were also a deep coverage about all the criminals and the conspiracy that were uncovered, those vile nobles family actions, the soldier misconduct, every single crime that could possib
“<Bam!>..Your Lordship!…There..there’s enemy army on the City wall!…there’s…there’s…endless of them..”. (Hallerus Palace Knight)In the midst of anger and confusion, The King Audience Hall were interrupted by one Palace Knight, gasping for breath and wet by sweat, leaning on the Door, telling everyone that there’s an Army right on the city wall. And he looks very serious, ghastly even, scared about what he had witness. Because unknown to the nobles and the Prime Ministers that have been partying all night and in the morning treating the palace as their own bedroom, and in the morning just continuing their useless games. The Knights of the Palace, were scared silly, when they can see the Army on the horizon just from where the were at.“WHAT?…WHY THE HELL ARE YOU JUST TELLING ME THIS NOW?!!…..what do I pay you all for?!!..Telling me this when the enemy w
As Mopius Kraltor were stunned to the point he fell on his butt, shocked to see the sea of Soldiers and proudly flying flags and the magnificent line up of Airship that conquer the sky. The Rest of the city were in a big questions mark, because not many knows about the existence of the 7thPrincess of Hallerus, but there were even those that knows about her, mostly the old residents. As for the the real Hallerus Soldier that has been bowing their head to the Tyranny, those that were on the wall, were fast to recognize Princess Helen Personal flag, and it was authentic.“.…It was the real ones…..Will..there be a change..”. (Hallerus Knights)On the Palace, Many of Hallerus Royal Palace Knights that swears and loyalty to the throne, saw the flag and saw the glimmer of hope that this might change the current rotten palace. Knuckles their fist to white, hoping that the Princess will be change that this k
I took another sip of tea, letting the warmth spread through me.Because here’s the delicious irony: by copying our education system, they didn’t just adopt our books and schedules.They were adopting our mindset.Every child who learned using our curriculum. Every teacher trained by our methods. Every official who quoted Aeternum textbooks. They were all little seeds planted deep within foreign soil.In ten years?Those nations would think like us.In twenty?They would be like us. All without a single sword being drawn. I leaned back in my chair, utterly content.Without armies, without bloodshed, we were gaining soft political power over thirty-one nations.Real power.The kind that shaped futures. Mina clinked her cup lightly against mine in a silent toast, her green eyes sparkling.“To the future?” she teased.I smiled, lifting my cup.“To the future we’re writing,” I said.And out there, beneath the quiet, darkening sky, the seeds of a new world had already begun to bloom.The n
In New City, the public watched it all unfold on massive news screens and digital displays.A young woman in a coffee shop blinked back tears.“My mother couldn’t even sign her name,” she said. “Now, she’s going to school at sixty. Can you imagine?”A factory worker on break raised his can of iced tea. “They used to mock us for thinking machines would replace us. Now? My kid’s learning to design them.”Later that evening, President Mies stood at his office window in the Black House, overlooking a city glowing with lights and ambition.Minister Myers entered, holding the finalized signed charter.“It’s done,” he said quietly. “They all agreed. The future begins today.”Mies nodded. “We’ve unified their borders, their defense, and their markets,” he said. “Now, we unify their minds.”A long silence followed. Then, just a single line: “History will remember this moment.” And across the continent, it already had.The evening air was soft, almost languid, as I sat back in my chair, savorin
As the documents were sealed, cameras flashed and live broadcasts streamed the images of rulers shaking hands with President Mies—smiles genuine, eyes alight with purpose.The message to the world was unmistakable:Aeternum does not just lead with power—it leads with knowledge.Later, in a private conversation, Jonathan Myers turned to Mies.“This is more than we hoped.”Mies looked out the window of his office, where the UNA flags fluttered in a perfect row.“No,” he said. “This is exactly what I planned.”Jonathan raised a brow. “And what next?”Mies smiled faintly. “We teach the world… to think like us.”The central assembly hall of New Concordia UNA Headquarters—a gleaming white dome adorned with banners of thirty-one nations—had never been so full.Delegates filled every seat. National flags stood in perfect rows. The giant LED display behind the stage glowed with the symbol of the United Nation Alliance, now framed by a new banner in golden letters:"Education for All – A Future
Outside the palace gates, the citizens of Hallerus City buzzed with excitement. News traveled fast: another king had come, and he, too, had seen the truth.And far beyond the city walls, whispers began in other UNA courts:“Perhaps we should ask Queen Helen for assistance.”“Maybe Aeternum’s model isn’t just for them.”“Could we build this future too?”In the Black House of New City, when President Mies received the report of King Leopold’s visit, he simply closed the folder and smiled slightly."One seed sows a thousand trees," he murmured.And in the fields of Fantasma, the seeds of knowledge had already begun to sprout.The towering skyline of New City shimmered beneath a clear morning sky. It was a perfect day for diplomacy—and a historic one.Within the great glass-paneled east wing of the Black House, Aeternum’s political nerve center, a long oval table had been prepared. Security was tight, the air dignified, yet the atmosphere was distinctly welcoming. For today, President Mie
That evening, Queen Helen hosted a quiet reception for the UNA visitors. Modest food, strong Hallerian tea, and conversation flowed freely.“We’re not pretending it’s perfect,” Helen told them. “But we’re not pretending it’s impossible, either.”One observer raised a hand, smiling. “Would you be open to helping other nations start similar programs?”Helen looked to Merrica, then back to them.“Of course,” she said. “We’ve taken help. It would be wrong not to offer it.”It was the kind of answer that made diplomats take notes. And so, Hallerus—once a fractured kingdom cast in shadow—began to shine in a new light. Not as a symbol of power. But as a model of transformation. And as the scholars walked the streets of Hallerus City, alongside teachers and curious children, they quietly realized: The future wasn’t just being forged in Aeternum anymore. It was spreading.The scent of blooming gardenias filled the royal courtyard of Hallerus Royal Palace. The sun hung high above the battlement
“It’s… beautiful,” she said.Jonathan smiled. “It’s sure is,.”The first major step was the immediate conversion of six major city libraries into public education centers. Then came the pilot schools—one for each major region of the kingdom. Each staffed with a blend of local teachers (newly trained) and educational experts from Aeternum who came to oversee implementation.Within a month, Hallerus Elementary Schools opened their doors for the first time. Children from farming villages and mining towns, who had never once held a book of their own, were now reading stories about space, science, and society. They learned arithmetic on digital chalkboards and watched recorded lectures from Aeternum instructors. Classrooms were modest, but organized. Desks were salvaged, but steady.The change was jarring. But it was real. Queen Helen visited one of these pilot schools in the outskirts of Archenport. There, she saw barefoot children reciting alphabet lines. She watched a young girl raise h
Outside in the streets of New City, a mural was already being painted on the wall of a youth center—depicting two children, one Aeternian and one Hallerian, sitting together at a shared desk beneath the words:"Wisdom Unites What War Divides."The mural was uncommission—but no one was taking it down. From within the homes, classrooms, and council chambers of Aeternum, the message was clear: the world was learning, and they were learning from Aeternum.And that made the people walk taller.Because every road rebuilt in Hallerus, every classroom opened, every young mind taught in their system—was a quiet victory for Aeternum’s vision. The age of empires was ending. The age of influence had begun.The great hall of Hallerus Royal Palace hadn’t hosted a summit like this in over a generation. Not for war. Not for taxation. But for education.Long tables stretched beneath arched stone windows, newly adorned with fresh flags representing each province of the Hallerus Kingdom. The air smelled
Contracts were awarded to the newly established Hallerus Road Commission, overseen by both local talent and advisory engineers from Aeternum. Bright orange marker flags began appearing all over the kingdom, outlining future road paths. Caravans brought in equipment, gravel, construction tools—and, notably, several transport trucks from Aeternum carrying the first batch of reinforced roadstone, a durable blend sourced from the Stone Ring mountains.Helen personally visited the first construction site just outside the capital—a winding, broken stretch leading to a key trade town in the east.She knelt beside the workers, running her fingers through the packed dirt and gravel. “This path,” she said to a nearby foreman, “will be the spine of our kingdom.”He blinked, surprised at her presence, then bowed. “Then we’ll make sure it’s strong, Your Majesty.”As roadwork began, the kingdom watched. Villages previously isolated by floods or rough terrain saw the first signs of inclusion. Mercha
The project would take time—perhaps years—but its impact would begin in weeks.“Once the roads are in place,” Merrica said, entering her chamber with a report in hand, “we’ll be able to move goods faster, respond to crises quicker, and prepare for the second phase: economic zone development.”Helen took the report with a tired, but satisfied smile. “This… this they will see. This they will believe.”“And when they do,” Merrica said, “they’ll follow.”Late that night, as the wind howled against the palace windows, Helen stood in her private study, gazing out at the flickering torches lining the city streets. In her hand was a smooth, curved stone from the first road pile—just a plain stone, but to her, it was the beginning of a foundation.Her fingers closed around it as she whispered to herself, “Let this road lead us to a better kingdom.” And with that, the first steps into a new Hallerus had begun.The throne room had seen war plans, council betrayals, and royal declarations. But on
