“...Is that so…..then, why do all the answer, were simply a rejections!!!…I can’t accept this!!…is the Alliance didn’t want to bear any shred of responsibility?!…This isn’t what the Aeternum and the Alliance has promised me before the treaty were signed!!….you have said that you were willing to help…then why is all the demand has been rejected!!…”. (Queen Helen Hallerus)
Her hand slammed the table, as she went furious. This is true, that is my simple reply to her long tirade of demands, every single demand were answered with a short sentences, ‘denied’.
“What?!..that cannot be!!…let me look……wait..what is this?!!….everything is…denied?!…what the meaning of all this?…”. (Alphonse Gilbert)
The lion like man, also went shocked of the result and grab the documents from in fro
Queen Helen Hallerus, Crown Prince Amariss and Alphonse Gilbert were acting like someone has caught their tongue, unable to refute a single words. Now that they heard the arguments it was simply a ball of stupidity that they dared to ask for something like this, which they were clearly doesn’t have any rights to do so. The whole time, the casualty rate which have the highest was the Voluntary army, followed by the Setting Sun Kingdom Knights, the Dukedom of Angela then Aeternum, the rest were mostly just injuries. Even the Mercenaries from Alphonse Gilbert side were barely have any injuries though they were the one that cause trouble a lot.“you have been asking many things that didn’t even make sense….compensations for the Wall and gates….Regular dispatch of Soldier to help patrolling the Kingdom…increased of trading quantity…lowering the prices of trade items…constructions of Aeternum roads…opening mo
Without her many underlings behind her shouting their useless remarks and backing her up to support her idea as she hides behind the facade of used Queen. There is nothing much Queen Helen could do but to face the actual reality of the matter, which to fully fulfill the end of her bargain without trying to exploits the Alliance. Her method of pressuring other for her benefits has been rendered useless by me, who already saw her game plans and her true self. Then again, I must give her credit for her act and method, it was certainly new in the medieval Fantasy world.“Queen Helen, I suggest us…to just follow the initial treaty…at this point, I have already saw how Hallerus is trying to do deals…now or in the future…I thought at the very least you who have been through so much of hardship might be different…doing deals and negotiation in a honest way…but…it seems like you are fond of deceptions and exploits&he
Despite her effort to divert everyone attentions from thinking about the original treaty, it was failed. All because no one would want to follow her act anymore, reluctant as she is right now, at the end she was quick to decide that she shouldn’t discard the potential future benefits of being in everyone good side. Though by now, to me she had already fall out of favour with me and the Aeternum, as for the rest, I am sure that even though Aeternum will no longer wanted to be holding hands with Hallerus, they would definitely will be dealing with Hallerus for their own benefits. Which is something that I didn’t even want to obstruct or even care about.“i supposed there were still a prospect for future collaboration between us and our nation Queen Helen…”. (Princess Angela Seraphim)“..Of course there would be…after all, Dukedom of Angela has always been our long ally..and it should be in the
As for me and Aeternum, just like I have wanted, the lowered tax for 10 years as simple as that, every single tax that will be imposed on Aeternum will be fixed at 20% only. That was the only thing I asked and nothing more, but to many that were around the table, they could already see that, this is not a very good thing to Hallerus Kingdom, especially when I haven’t asked for any changes and even being greedy that I wanted more. But none of them could even think what I have in my mind.“With everything that were promised has been fulfilled…then we shall discussed about the matter of the Troop dispatch that were already agreed on….As per stated before…Which is, Every Single Country in the Alliance will be sending 100 Soldiers in order to help maintain the safety of Hallerus Borders for only 1 years…”.It was the decision that I regretted the most in the clause of the treaty, if I could I wish tha
“Farewell?..is that’s it?..”. (Queen Helen Hallerus)The words from President Mies to ended the meeting just like that, caught everyone in the room other than the Aeternums in surprise. Bewildered of what just happened, Even Princess Angela Seraphim were surprised that he ended the meeting just like that and already wanted to leave the Hall, as soon as he get’s up from his seat.“Apparently that was about it….I am very satisfied with the result of this meetings, Queen Helen…then, I would take my leave…”. (Count William Redwall)As the sensible man, who knows his priorities, Count William didn’t wait for anyone and hurried to follow, the Aeternum delegations who is already left the hall.“Hohoho~..then, this old man will also take his leave too~…Farewell Queen Helen~..”. (Grand Magus Soo Kwan Hon)&l
Just as straight forward that I entered the Hallerusia Palace for the meeting, without any detour, that to the same way I got out of the Palace. I did not stop for anything despite so many nobles that were trying to speaks to me. I could careless about them, most of them were just lower nobles and all of them were the same as the others before them, approaching me for their own benefits. Which is to me an utterly useless moves, especially I have now rather loathes the Hallerus Nobles.“They said, it was the largest ball party that they ever held….Sire President..”. (Bina)“is that so?..looking at their scales, I don’t really feel that impressed..”.We were on our way out of the Palace as we passed through the Banquet Hall, where the Party were still ongoing, and it was still quite rowdy inside. Bina who looked at it were rather feeling fleeting temptations, I guess at the end of the d
I don’t know it if was a good thing or not, by Apparently Aeternum Noble Families was rather a unique one among all the nobles in the Central Continent. All thanks to the mold that I have imposed on them from the early on, there were a lot of rules and restrictions on becoming a Noble in Aeternum, far more stricter than any rules that were uphold in any other country. One of the Major rules is that they will no more hold a private army that is larger than 100 soldiers, no land bigger than 3 kilometer square, no more autonomous power and immunity from crimes.Due to many restrictions, although they were tied by the laws, it was seem they were able to adapt and except changes rather well. They even proudly cast aside the name ‘Noble’ and instead now called themself a Conglomerate. Which is I am sure were inspired by the Radio Drama, also rather than functions as a self government in the past, they all have rather taken the Business ground, and qu
Inside the Hallerusia City and even the outskirts of the City, many of Hallerusia City citizen were gathering, thousand of people were in shocked and also in wondered to see, Aeternums and also the Alliance soldiers already packed up and currently slowly getting on the ginormous Airship. Many couldn’t believe it that their saviour were leaving the Hallerusia already. To them it was as if it was a dream to them, they were released from the clutch of a tyrant and on top of that survived the whole ordeal, then even got the taste of the Aeternum kindness that were so lovely and comforting to them.“...Wait…is Aeternum Soldiers and the Alliance Soldier is already leaving?…there is not a celebrations for them yet…what is happening?..”. (Hallerusia Commoners)Many have the same thought, their stay were far to short. They come and saved the day, and help everyone and then out of nowhere, just as if they were sh
That night, Aeternum Special Forces operatives moved swiftly.At the city granaries, timed magic explosives were discreetly planted, set to ignite just before dawn. The city's key merchant houses received false messages, each forged to appear as if their rivals had plotted against them.Two high-ranking commanders of Velkan’s security forces were silently assassinated, their deaths staged as an internal betrayal. By the next morning, Velkan descended into anarchy. With food supplies mysteriously destroyed, merchants at each other’s throats, and security forces crippled, riots broke out across the city.The Empire’s forces stationed nearby? They were too afraid to step in, fearing yet another noble feud.As the fourteenth and final day of the operation arrived, General Xing stood on the hills outside Velkan, watching through his binoculars as the city descended into madness. The streets were filled with smoke from burning buildings, merchants clashed violently, and governors had begun
-New City – The Presidential Office-In the heart of New City, the capital of Aeternum, President Kaiser Mies Sai sat in his office, listening intently as Vice President Elijah outlined the current situation. Ministers Andrea of Resource Development and Rafela of Health, Education, and Science were also present, reviewing projections and risk assessments."With the sheer number of refugees arriving, we have two immediate concerns," Elijah stated, placing two documents in front of the President. "First, food and medical supplies. Second, permanent housing and employment. Without a clear plan, we risk destabilizing our own economy."President Mies skimmed the reports before nodding. “We’re already in the process of integrating Alemia Region, and now we have to build an entirely new infrastructure from scratch to support these people.”“That’s where Project Haven comes in,” Andrea interjected. She pulled out detailed blueprints, rolling them open across the large conference table. "We’ve
Alessia smirked. "Then it’s a good thing I’m here to help."Rose raised a curious brow. "Help? How?"The vampire turned her piercing gaze toward the director, a sly smile forming on her lips. "The President wants the Battle Star Empire to plunge into a massive state of confusion."Rose blinked. "Define 'massive confusion’?"Alessia placed a gloved hand on the table and leaned forward. "Aeternum has been extracting refugees under the Empire’s nose without them realizing. But it’s only a matter of time before they start piecing things together. Before that happens, we need to make sure they have bigger problems to worry about."Rose smirked. "Sabotage?"Alessia nodded. "Exactly. If the Empire is preoccupied with internal chaos, their forces won’t have the manpower or resources to focus on hunting refugees. I’ve already mobilized several of my best operatives from Wasteland Command. Our objective is to destabilize key areas near the border—supply chains, noble estates, military outposts.
Deep inside the Empire’s territory, a convoy of refugees moved cautiously through the dense forests of the Eastern States. The night air was cold, their breaths visible in the dim light of the moon. Leading the group was Marie, her heart pounding as she tried to keep her people silent. They had evaded the Empire’s patrols so far, but she knew their luck wouldn’t last forever.A rustling in the trees sent a ripple of fear through the group. Weapons—rudimentary and almost useless against trained soldiers—were gripped tighter. The faint echo of a whistle sliced through the silence, a signal they had been discovered.Suddenly, the trees erupted with gunfire. Sharp, precise shots rang through the air, and the unmistakable sound of bodies hitting the ground followed.“Stay down!” a gruff voice called out from the darkness.Out of the shadows, Aeternum’s Special Forces emerged, their dark uniforms blending into the surroundings. Their leader, Captain Soren of the 4th Special Operations Unit,
Meanwhile, deep in enemy territory, Major Riker’s team was executing their sabotage mission with terrifying precision. Explosions ripped through granaries, armories, and supply wagons. Horses screamed as stables were set ablaze, and Empire officers barked orders in panic, unable to comprehend the invisible force dismantling their infrastructure before their very eyes.Inside one of the fortified garrisons, an Empire noble lord clutched his gilded breastplate, his face drenched in sweat. "We’re being destroyed from the shadows! This is not a battle, it’s slaughter! Who is responsible for this?!"A terrified messenger, barely keeping his composure, stammered, "It’s the Aeternum, my lord… they wield weapons that spit fire and strike from afar like the gods themselves! We can’t—"Before he could finish, a single suppressed bullet pierced through the noble’s skull, dropping him lifelessly onto his grand war map."Target down. Moving to extraction," an Aeternum sniper reported through the r
As we continued to monitor the operation, the feed from a drone scout flickered onto the main screen, giving us a real-time view of the battlefield. Empire Hunters were scrambling, some of them already falling victim to the ambush tactics of the Commandos. The wasteland terrain favored our operatives, allowing them to strike swiftly before vanishing without a trace. Every now and then, a small explosion could be seen in the distance, signaling a well-executed strike on an enemy supply route.I exhaled slowly, satisfied with the unfolding plan. The Commandos were proving their worth, and soon, the Empire would realize that hunting down innocent refugees had come at an unforeseen cost.Elijah crossed her arms, glancing at me. “You know, with the rate things are going, it won’t be long before the Empire has to reconsider their actions.”“Oh, they’ll reconsider, alright,” I said, a sharp edge in my voice. “But by the time they do, they’ll have already lost too much to recover.”As we cont
I folded my arms, contemplating the next course of action. "We can’t let this turn into a full-scale war—not yet. Our priority is getting those people to safety. The Commandos are the best suited for this kind of engagement, but if they’re overwhelmed, we may need to deploy additional assets."Elijah nodded. "I already have aerial reconnaissance keeping track of the Hunters' movements. The issue is, they’re spreading out, making it difficult to predict where they’ll strike next. We need to coordinate a response that not only intercepts them but also ensures we don’t expose our involvement too soon."I smirked. "That means it’s time to play this smart. We use the terrain, our intelligence, and most importantly—our unpredictability. The Empire thinks they’re hunting defenseless refugees. Let’s turn the tables."Elijah grinned, already knowing where I was going with this. "I'll have the Commandos set up strategic ambush points along the expected routes. If we can strike fast and hard, we
“The situation in Battle Star Empire is escalating,” she announced, her voice carrying an unmistakable edge of intrigue.I picked up the documents and scanned through them quickly. What I read brought a slow, satisfied smile to my face.“Oh? Now this is interesting,” I mused, setting the papers down.Duke Oliver raised an eyebrow, intrigued by my reaction. “Something good?”“Something amusing,” I corrected. “It seems the great Battle Star Empire, with all its strength and military prowess, is facing an issue it never anticipated.”Jelina leaned forward, curiosity lighting up her features. “Do tell.”Elijah took over, her expression remaining composed but with a slight smirk tugging at her lips. “The mass exodus from Battle Star Empire is reaching unprecedented levels. The people—especially women, elderly, and laborers—are fleeing by the tens of thousands. They’re abandoning the empire in droves, crossing dangerous terrain, risking their lives just to get away.”I nodded, already pieci
Lt. Colonel Mara, the commanding officer of the Aeternum Commandos, leaned back in her chair, her feline tail flicking with interest as she listened to the orders. A wide, predatory grin stretched across her lips.“So, we have permission to strike?” she mused, her sharp canines glinting under the dim light.Director Rose nodded. “Yes, but keep it covert. No bodies left behind. No traces of Aeternum involvement. The Hunters need to disappear, one by one.”Mara let out a pleased hum, stretching her arms. “Finally, some action.”She turned to her squad, a unit made entirely of Demi-Human soldiers, hardened warriors who had once been outcasts but were now the elite protectors of Aeternum. Their eyes gleamed with anticipation.“You heard the orders,” Mara said. “Hunt the Hunters.”A chorus of agreement rumbled through the squad as they stood, gathering their weapons and preparing to move.Within the hour, the first Hunter would vanish without a trace. Then the second. Then the third. By th
