Today was another peaceful day in Aeternum, Works carry on as usual, my Army still training hard and as for me, i got a lot of free time. So today my schedule is, tending my garden that filled with magical plant.
[For a rough person, you're quite delicate with your plant.. ]. (T.A.S)
".…I just love gardening, it's one of my stress relief method…beside, just leave a Ygdrasil unattended in my front yard, is kinda irresponsible…Anyway, is there any development about the monster stampede?..".
[There's no large movement at the moment, there's a few of suspected gathering spot all over the Central continent..the closes spot to Aeternum is 5 gathering spot in the Desert of Nothing. From the 5 point, only 1 gathering spot 45% probability it would head towards the Back Gate of New City..]. (T.A.S)
"Is that so?..then just keep monitoring….".
I know the effec
Everything in the conversation between Mies and Duke Merrica a week ago comes true. Earlier today a messenger from Hallurusia comes to Merrina town and into Duke Merrica house.Normally a the messenger from a capital would be someone with a noble rank, but instead a Priest by the name Father Herman standing in front of Duke Merrica. From the get go, the Priest has been bombarding Duke with mountains of question, every single question that comes out were questioning who his allies, how he do it, why aren't he asked for help from other noble or the crown, little by little the tone change and further going downhill to accusations."You were saying that..with your order and digressions that the whole thing possible?..". (Father Herman)"Yes…Murr House never eat on their words, we can stand on our own even without the royal help...I remember asking for help, sending letter after letter, tribute after tribute….no
It's been a few months since Xing and co. entered the Aeternum army, while other's has chosen to enter the various department, Xing applies to stay in the army even after the mandatory training and service. He was glad and proud to call himself an Aeternum Soldier, wearing the all-black military uniform was his pride, and by the second months he entered the Dungeon Clearing and Expedition Division, he got recommended to enter a Special division called Aeternum Special Forces, known to Aeternums as the Swords of Aeternum.Only the best of the best can enter the divisions, among 100 that were recommended only 10 stayed, the training they had in the division was the hardest and the toughest even the Knights Crusade training can't be compared to it. Some say that Special Forces soldiers were the 3rd most powerful Division after The Maidens of Aeternum that were personally trained by His Excellency Mr.President himself. At this moment there's only 100 Special Force Soldier tha
Operations Death Stroke is a 2 way covert assault, aiming at the Current King of Hallerus and The Principality of Light grip on the Duke Merrica territory. In a span of 2 weeks, my force will assassinate all the nobles that were involved in the Bandit Uprising plans, which 57 families all resides in the northern Hallerus, and at the same time my troops will be entering the Principality of Light and attack it's strategic points like their fort, cathedrals.The both attack will be pinned on the fabricated coalition of bandits/assassin that wanted a revenge on the their comrade falls after being thrown aside by The Church and the King, it's also will be broadcast in the radios, as to spreading the news. This will make the public questions the Church and The Current King credibility, thus weaken their influences, of course I won't directly frame the king but instead accusing the royal advisor Leonardo Delarno of bewitching the King, and to strengthen the facts, I wi
"You guys doing good?.."."Yes Sir!..". (Xing)"That's wrong Xing..we are bandits now remember, call me boss..stay in character for the next 2 hours.."."Yes...s…Boss!!..". (Xing)".….Let's go...Leku, scout.."."On the move boss!..". (Leku)Leku the handsome dark elf starts climbing the highest tree he could find, me and the rest of team 57 member Xing, Alehandro and Lucas started to walk slowly towards the Legro family mansions at the edge of Loft Village. This is the last operation in Duke Merrica territory, Loft village was a poor farming village on the west end of Northern Hallerus. Surrounded with the wheat field, it was a picturesque view, the life standard for the commoner in the village was low, living in a mud house and working in the field that was own by the Legro family their whole life. Quite a Sad story but this story was normal all around Fantasma, if you were born in the lower caste, chan
"Take everything, kill everyone that related to Legro family..".Nodded at my order, Xing, Alehandro and Lucas spreads out and entered the mansion. 24 out of 30 guards were already dead, the rest were unconscious on the ground from blood loss, I could care less about them, if they live, they live, if they don't then I got nothing to lose, the whole scene needs to look as horrendous as possible. Emotions is useless at time like this, as Xing and the other's started the 'cleaning up' process, I entered the mansion as well and headed for the second floor to find a library or office of some kind.All nobles everywhere have the same lifestyle, owning a personal library or a collections of books is a symbols of wealth. This mansion were no different from others, in fact Legro Family was known to be boasting that they were a long generations of wizards, also in the inner circle of nobles, Legro family have a knack for anything that was taboo. Accor
"So you were saying that, they look interesting that's why you give them your ring?..I'm sorry sir but that was just too random…but still for Elven Tree Watcher to come into Human territory…are they wagging a war?..". (Elijah)"I don't know…but it's kinda interesting to see where this is going…..oh right, is the Duchess Confessions going well?.."."It is…it cause quite a stir yesterday..Sebastian said, the public has begun to sway from the church…they avoid, and try to questions church….the only reasons why there's still people in the church was because of their healing business..". (Elijah)"Hmmm…then continue with the pressure, also make sure Paul announce the news as usual, and have the Duchess to reassure her husband territory by saying that Duke army already hunting the bandits…it's better that they heard from their own people after all..".
In a few weeks the ever so high Church of Light popularity has been smudge, their unruly and dirty act was exposed every day on the radio broadcast. The pressure and the discovery of their heinous act made by the local lords investigations all over the central continent, made the public belief wavers.Holy City of Selenia is Principality of Light main capital, the place where the pious and the holy army resides, the holy land for the church of light follower, the supposed land where the gods set foots to deliver his divine commandment, in the middle of the city was the continent Largest cathedral, St. Monical the place were the Pope of Light, the revered Pope Leonardo von Elyuise resides. On the top floor of the Cathedral lies the biggest room in the building, it's the most heavily guarded room in the whole Principality. Though the outside of the room seem holy and pure, in the inside it was filled with wild stench, sour and the sweetness of arousing aroma. Sitt
After 3 weeks 'Operations Undead' has been successfully implemented, and already entering it's final phase which is the defeat of the horde. The Church already made their move to suppress the horde, but they only managed to reduced the damaged by 20%, though it's a bit slow, but still they were able to hold on. Complete annihilation wasn't really my aim at the first place, I wanted to weaken them by, wavering the belief and reducing their numbers, both army and their citizen, so far both objectives already being achieve. Then it's comes to the final stage which is Aeternum debut to the world stage.Today was the day I will announce in the radio Live to the whole world that Aeternum is exist and were actually powerful enough to be recognized by every major power in Fantasma. Sitting in the studio booth with Paul, the Clock already pointed at 10 am in the morning."Good morning to people of Fantasma, Ladies and Gentleman, humans or demi-human.
“Then let’s make history. Order the Navy Fleet 01 to launch three additional Type-1 Missiles. Targets: The East, North, and West gates of the capital.”The entire command bridge fell into stunned silence.Every officer, every technician, every strategist momentarily froze. Their eyes flickered with a mix of shock and anxiety as they processed my command. Even the seasoned veterans among them seemed momentarily taken aback.It was one thing to deploy a single missile.But three at once?That wasn’t just warfare—it was an annihilation order.Bina, Lucas, and Eliza, who had been following the situation via video conference, immediately reacted. Their holographic images flickered on the massive display before me, each one expressing their own unique emotions.Bina, ever the stoic and composed tactician, furrowed her brows, tapping her fingers against the table.“Mr. President… I assume you understand the full implications of this move?”I met her gaze without hesitation.“I do. This is th
At 6:45 AM, the order was given. Admiral Duchess Kolarova, commanding the Navy Fleet from the southern front, initiated the launch sequence. The missile streaked across the sky like a comet, its white trail a harbinger of devastation.From the Dragon One, I stood on the bridge, watching intently as the missile’s trajectory was displayed on the holographic screens. My officers around me held their breath, anticipation thick in the air.A few moments later, the missile hit its mark. The explosion that followed was nothing short of spectacular. The Alemia Capital City gates were obliterated, along with the surrounding walls and everything within a 100-meter radius. Dust and debris rose into the sky like a dark mushroom cloud, blotting out the early morning sun.The impact was beyond what any of us had anticipated. The "lowest-grade" missile had proven to be anything but low-grade.The news of the missile strike spread like wildfire through the Aeternum ranks. Soldiers, commanders, and of
BOOM!The object slammed into the city gates, unleashing a deafening explosion that shook the ground beneath their feet. The shockwave rippled outward, sending soldiers sprawling and shattering windows across the city. Dust and debris filled the air as the once-mighty gates crumbled into a smoking ruin.Amariss stumbled backward, his sword clattering to the ground as he stared in horror at the devastation.“What… what is this? What is happening?!”he stammered, his voice trembling with fear. In the distance, the Aeternum Navy Fleet stood poised, their warships bristling with firepower. The single missile had been a warning—a demonstration of Aeternum’s overwhelming strength and precision. And it had achieved its purpose.The soldiers of Amariss’s army, already demoralized and terrified, broke ranks almost immediately. Dropping their weapons and abandoning their positions, they fled in every direction, their panic spreading like wildfire.“Come back! COME BACK, YOU COWARDS!”Amariss sc
“The reports… the soldiers… they are abandoning their posts. Even the Prime Minister has—”“I know,”she interrupted, her voice calm but laced with resignation.“Let them go. They were never loyal to me to begin with.”Her Royal Knight Commander, Lucas Perdue, entered moments later, his face grim.“Your Majesty, the palace remains secure for now, but the city is unraveling. The people are heeding Aeternum’s call, not ours. And the army… they’ve lost the will to fight.”The Queen closed her eyes, taking a deep breath.“Lucas, prepare for the inevitable. Lock down the palace. Imprison those who remain loyal to the Prime Minister and the other schemers. And… prepare for my surrender to Aeternum.”Lucas hesitated, his hand tightening on the hilt of his sword.“Are you certain, Your Majesty? To surrender is to admit—”“To admit that we’ve failed,”she finished for him.“Yes. Because we have failed. And the longer we cling to this throne, the more my people suffer….it is of no point to figh
Back at the frontlines, as soldiers readied themselves for the final march, they were moved by the reports circulating from command. The evidence of Alemia’s corruption and the suffering of its people only solidified their resolve. Around campfires and inside armored vehicles, soldiers shared their thoughts openly.One young soldier spoke with determination:“It’s not just about winning the war. We’re here to do something right—to fix what’s broken.”Another nodded, clenching her rifle tightly.“The President and the Vice President have never hidden anything from us. They’ve told us why we’re fighting, and that’s why I’d follow them anywhere.”Even the most hardened veterans were touched by the weight of their mission. One grizzled commander, looking out at the stars, muttered to himself,“We’re not just soldiers. We’re builders of a better future.”As the evening turned to night, a quiet anticipation spread across Aeternum and the liberated regions of Alemia. Farmers working their fi
“[To the citizens of Aeternum, know this: our soldiers, our leaders, and our government are united in our cause. We fight not for conquest, but for liberation. We fight to bring light to a land that has known darkness for far too long. And we fight because we believe in a better future for all.]”As she reached the conclusion of her address, Elijah’s voice softened slightly, carrying a note of hope.“[Let us move forward together—with courage, with resolve, and with the knowledge that we are on the side of justice. Aeternum stands as a beacon of hope, and together, we will bring peace to Alemia Nation. Thank you, and may we all stay safe in the hours ahead.]”The response to Elijah’s address was immediate and palpable. Across Aeternum, workers paused their tasks, families huddled around radios, and soldiers standing in the encampments felt a renewed sense of purpose.In one bustling Aeternum farm, a group of farmers stood together, their hands still muddy from the fields, listening in
“This is why I serve Aeternum,”he said.“Our government doesn’t hide anything from us. The President shows us the truth—the corruption, the suffering, everything. We’re not here for conquest. We’re here to fix what’s broken.”A sergeant nearby nodded.“And the Crown Prince? He deserves everything that’s coming to him. My wife is from Alemia, and she told me stories of what that man has done—taxing people into starvation while throwing lavish parties. It’s disgusting.”Another soldier, a former immigrant from Alemia, added,“It’s not just him. The entire royal family let this happen. But the fact that the President is willing to spare Queen Romella and preserve a part of Alemia’s heritage? That shows we’re not here to destroy—we’re here to rebuild.”Even the officers echoed similar sentiments. In the command tent, a group of captains discussed the decision over steaming mugs of coffee.“This is why we’re different,” one of them said.“Other nations would have razed Alemia to the groun
“What do you want to do, Your Excellency? Should we accept her surrender?”I exhaled slowly, feeling the weight of the decision before me.“We’ll accept it,”I said finally.“But under our terms. She will relinquish everything, including her dignity as a monarch. She’ll serve as an example of what happens when leaders fail their people. Let her live—but only just enough to remind everyone of the cost of her failures.”Elijah’s tone softened, a hint of respect in her voice.“Understood. I’ll finalize the arrangements and have her surrender publicly acknowledged at the right time. This war is finally nearing its end.”I sat back in my chair, my gaze drifting to the reports strewn across my desk. The Alemia Nation, a land plagued by incompetence and corruption, was finally crumbling. Its remnants would soon be swept away by the strength and unity of Aeternum. In the background, the low hum of Dragon One’s engines served as a steady reminder of the impending victory. The final steps were
“It’s over,”she announced, her voice echoing through the chamber.“The Alemia Royalty Faction has fallen—quietly, and without resistance.”The officers in the war room erupted into a flurry of activity, relaying the monumental news across Aeternum’s military network. But amidst the chaos, there was an undercurrent of somber resolve.“This is why Aeternum must lead,”one officer murmured to his colleague.“Their so-called queen waited until the very end to take responsibility—and only when her back was against the wall.”Another officer nodded.“At least she’s surrendering. But the damage is done. Her people have suffered for far too long. It’s time we clean up this mess.”Elijah listened to their hushed conversations; her expression unreadable. Though her demeanor was calm and composed, a storm of thoughts churned within her mind. She knew that this surrender, while significant, was only the beginning. The real work—rebuilding Alemia and bringing it under Aeternum’s banner—was yet to
