No one would dare to speak past me, actually before this meeting, I have already explained the details to each of the Queen, King and the Principal about the matter of fact that had happened for the last few days. I also express my grief to them, and literally told them I am really unhappy about what just going on, and how their performance has disappoint me.I also showed them that how I am willing to take things far more than they can handle if such things stays.
Elijah and the Aeternum Ministers Cabinet were also informed about this. Because thanks to all this fiasco that happened, I went as far as that I am willing to dissolved the Alliance and wanting to went off alone. The Entire Aeternum were on my back and unified to support my decision. When I voice my decision to them, it doesn’t even take long, all of them agreed to my conditions. Apparently now I know that they seems to fear not only Aeternum but also me, despite I’m rarely shows my fighti
“[ In perspective of Terms….I can see that there were a numbers of changes….then again, I supposed, it was given the things that had happened….and I am willing to admits…that my side had been rather showing a shameful display….by which as I signed this new terms…will never happened again…]”. (Great Archmage Lodwig Godgrafen)“<Ahem!>…We..will see to it happened, Your Excellency President Mies..”. (Grand Magus Soo Kwan Hon)For the Institute of Artemesia terms of alliance, there has been a numbers of changes. First, due to their lackluster performance and also the sending of their War force numbers that were on the lower side, I have made a terms that such display were under my expectations and rather proud of them to think that, whilst I have already stated in the meeting that all forces must send 500 or more troops. Yet they have failed to do so, and my pe
For the Setting Sun Kingdom, there is not much to say in the matter actually, because unlike others, they barely had any fault in the matter as they were the new members of the Alliance, also, they follow everything that were agreed to the letter. No to mentions that they have a clear goals from the start, they respected the Alliance but their ultimate goals were wanting to become a close ally of Aeternum. Their performance has never been a disappointment to me and in fact I like them. Unlike any other they were quite polite, So instead I offered them a direct trade deals and opened a Direct lines of transportation from their country to Aeternum.Which naturally achieving their goals, and it was obvious that they like it so much given the King reactions. Thought the reason the Count were sighing, mostly because of the King, his nephew didn’t hide the fact that they receive a good things and rather just jump at the offer the first moment that he saw i
“Look…I am not going to sugar coated my words…Truthfully, thanks to this war…my trust has been shaken…I will keep this simple….in the last meeting regarding the future of Hallerus….Aeternum will not request anything that were not on the paper…also, hence forth…Aeternum will also refrain from aiding Hallerus Kingdom, and those that have humiliate me and my nation…..This will effective immediately…..”.With my decision came announced to all of them, they were rather shocked at the severity of my reactions to the Hallerus Kingdom. Everyone were gasped as they heard me said so, but at the same time they also cannot refute me, after all, the right to be offended was mine. And normally when such things happened, the one that were offended were rightfully can take any actions they want. Still me not demanding a compensation were already odd enough, but they all knows just how bad it is wh
“[..I’ve always wondered, how does the Northern Alemia War was ended so quickly…it no exaggeration to say the least that that particular territory were in fact one of the hardest to traverse…much more to enact a war in it…Given that the Northern Alemia were the region of Northern Vampire….that was even more impossible to conquer….]”. (Queen Duchess Angela Weinstein)Queen Duchess didn’t hide her smirked on the screen, just like what she said many too, wondered how the war was won.“[..Winter all year long, dark, cold and on top of that Vampires…Alemia couldn’t fathom to win….now it’s clear it was the Aeternum that made that happened….also. I have seen the enormous Crater…..it was as if the god punches the earth itself….Probably Tier 7 or Higher that could do so..]”. (Great Archmage Lodwig Godgrafen)Great
“Later in the Meeting with the Hallerus Factions…I am sure that everyone here can already predicted…that they will propose an absurdly amount of crappy suggestion…”.“[ Seeing how the first meeting went…it was certain that it would happened again…they were swallowed with greed…despite all their misfortune were done to them by themself….it was better for us to not comply with any of it, President Mies..]”.(Queen Duchess Angela Weinstein)“I agree….they have went over their head the last time….they simply wanting us to bear the compensations of everything…which we are not obligated to…..they knew Alliance and Aeternum were wealthy enough to support everything…but must we?…”. (Count William Redwall)In the Previous meeting, according to Bina Report the Hallerus Faction demand were simply outrageous,
The 4 ways meeting ended rather spectacularly, everyone happy with my suggestions and rather pleased with the newly formed plans that would bring them more benefits that the already existing ones. By now I can already deduced the outcomes of this meetings, and I will make sure those greedy Hallerussian realize that they should never craves more than they can get.“Oh…Grand Magus Soo….could we speak for a little bit?..”.“Of course we could, Sire President…”.(Grand Magus Soo Kwan Hon)“Thank you..then, how about I accompany you to your destinations….come, ride with me…”.“Hohohoho~..well, thank you Sire President…I never got used to riding this car….it was a thousand more comfortable than a carriage~….well, this old bone of mine has become rather delicate these days..”.(Grand Magus Soo Kwan Hon)
After making sure that the side regarding, Maria and Helga were handled. I don’t really have any time to move around, because tomorrow will be the day where the detailed discussion regarding the Hallerusia City Aftermath of the war will be discussed. I’m not entire expected that the Hallerus Side will change their minds, because even if they did, by now I will no longer changed my minds about anything that I have decided to do.“...Bina….there might be a chance that we might possibly plunged into a war…due to this….what do you think?..”.Right now, after handling everything, it was already 8 o’clock in the night. All of Aeternum Soldier in the camp were having their dinners, as I don’t have anymore time to get to any places. I decided to have my dinner at the Cafeteria tent, along with the other soldiers. I can say for sure that Aeternums has always been liking their dinner times.
Unknowingly, Aeternum Secret meetings with the 3 Ally nation news has reached the ears of the Princess Helen and Count Kabronel, Naturally the one that delivers the news were none other, the divided Duke Merrica. Who’s among the 3 were visibly in a bad mood, Unlike the Princess who barely know anything about the President and Aeternum, also the greedy Count Kabronel, who clearly know what Aeternum were capable of, yet undermined the small nation. Duke Merrica were upset that both of them still stood on their previous arrangement.“...Helen….are you sure that you would want to go forward with this demand and these outrageous demands from the nobles….only to please them?…”. (Duke Merrica)Seeing the straight back of her precious little sister in law, that he had been cared for as long as he can remember as his own little sister, made him worried and also disappointed at the same time.
“You know, it’s said that the Maidens could topple an entire city if they wanted. I mean, we’re special forces, but compared to them…”He trailed off, shaking his head. Lionel smirked, glancing back at the young sergeant.“Compared to them? We’re kids playing soldier, Miles. But remember this: tonight, we’re part of something bigger. So, keep your head in the game.”After an hour of steady driving, the convoy finally came to a halt roughly one kilometer east of Alemia Capital City. The soldiers disembarked quietly, their boots crunching softly against the dirt. The chilly night air bit at their skin, but it wasn’t the cold that sent shivers down their spines—it was the sight before them.In the faint moonlight, Alemia Capital City loomed in the distance like a wounded giant. Its once-mighty walls were battered and crumbling, scars of relentless conflict etched into its stone.Surrounding the city, like a cancerous growth, were countless makeshift camps—hundreds of thousands of tents s
“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
