"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.

"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.
"Base, this is Airforce 2, target captured success, confinement procedure complete…you are free to move in..I repeated you are free to move in..".The call that just came in was a confirmations that the abominations has been safely extracted, Elijah, Mina and Rafela were the one who fly the helicopter and retreive it personally and send it into the Secret Prison in the Military base basement. As for me and the 500 Aeternum soldier already stationed in temporary refugee base or Foerward Operating Base at the Tri-Nation Valley, about 1000 tents complete with all kind of necessary equipments for the operations already being set up for use. 10 helicopter already up in the air, heading to all the participant, sending phones and map to where they supposed to convened and send to. Right now the participant only way of communications to me was radio broadcast that was playing the whole thing live.This operation mainly was to show the power of Aeternum, through our mili
At 5pm all the coalitions top member already gathered in the Tri-Nation Valley, Forward Operations Base. Duke Merrica, Earl Canran Von Masvit, 5th Prince Sladin Abraham, Princess Angela Seraphim of Dukedom of Angela, Grand Wizard Lionel Alkord from the Coalitions of Wizadly and Shcolar, and Elder Carrn Furry from Free Nation of Triangle Guilds. All of them can't help but marvelled at how prepared Aeternum at the whole situations, from the part where they were pick up up to the place where the operations was held, it was otherworldly to them."Right now we were expecting a large attack which most likely to be aiming at all the borders..all the rescues missions already and still being carried out, by the end of today, we aiming be bringing in at least 5000 survivor from 50 villages and 20 towns…". (Bina)Bina and Andrea was in-charge of briefing the leaders about the current situations, using the real time map on the monitor and precise number and ca
The whole battlefield was under control, all plan already proceed swiftly. All 3 points already finished building their temporary Wall, and only waiting for bathces of undeads to come in for them to kill. In this operations I also see first hand how a medieval fight were fought, and honestly they were quite a spectacle, for a professional army like Duke Merrica Knight troops, their movement was steady and disipline, they followed formations and order quite well, but on the downside they quite easily agitated and to proud, sometimes there's one or two wiould break formations , tried to show off, which served no point at all.The Mercenary, Adventurer and volunteer on the other hand were much more calculated, they never took risk more than they can handle and they only act in a small unit of their own. They were quite hectic, and easily broken, but there's nothing to blame them for, in the end they were nothing but a group of individuals that only there for their
At Dukedom Angela contamination wall, the fight already entered it's 12 hours periods. It was as intense as it has been from the starts, but the wall still remains tough while the undead numbers was slowly cut down.Every 5 hours Aeternum Army who's been firing non-stop, had to replenish their ammunitions for 30 minutes (including a bit of rest), and in that window the Black rose Knight, Spear Vanguards and The Wizards will took over to kill the undeads that slowly piling themselves to climb the wall, this scene never happended when Aeternum Soldier were the one firing their weapons, it's clearly shows that, even though Aeternum Army was small in numbers, they still were the most effective forces in the operations.Resting after killing the Undeads just 2 hours ago, the top ranking officers from Dukedom of Angela, Battle Star Empire and Coalitions Of Scholar and Wizardly, currently leaning over the ledges of the wall and watching the massacre on the
For years, Alemia’s people had been accustomed to fear—to being harassed, abused, and treated like pawns by the nobility and military alike.But today, as they walked through the clean streets, there was no shouting.No random arrests. No public executions. There was only order.And above them, in the vast blue sky, the Aeternum airships loomed—their massive steel frames gliding through the heavens, a symbol of dominance, protection, and change.For many, it was their first time seeing such technology up close.An elderly baker, standing at the entrance of his shop, shielded his eyes as he gazed upward."The Iron Birds…" he whispered, awestruck.Beside him, a young girl tugged at his sleeve."Grandpa, are they… protecting us?"A pause. Then, the old man smiled for the first time in years."Yes. I believe they are."Unlike the old regime, Aeternum’s governance was swift and efficient.Knowing that the city had suffered extreme shortages due to the war, Aeternum immediately opened publi
"I refuse to be treated like some common criminal! I am Count Malik! Minister of Finance! I have funded half of this war!"His voice echoed, but no one moved. No one spoke in his defense.Malik gritted his teeth and jerked violently, managing to break free from the grip of the young Aeternum private restraining him.With a twisted smirk, he raised his hand and struck the soldier across the face.A loud crack rang through the hall.For a moment, everything stood still.Then—BANG.A gunshot pierced the air, and Malik’s scream followed a split second later as he collapsed onto the floor, clutching his now bloodied knee.Standing over him, his pistol still smoking, was Sergeant Falkner.The seasoned Aeternum officer towered over the fallen noble, his expression one of absolute indifference."That was for touching my soldier," Falkner said, his voice as sharp as a blade.Malik writhed, his cries of agony mixing with gasps of horror from the other captives.Falkner bent down, his boot press
“I request a duel.”A murmur ran through both sides. Bina merely raised a single eyebrow.“A duel? Against me?” she said, tilting her head slightly, almost as if she hadn’t heard him correctly.Anton stood his ground.“If I win, you and your soldiers do not enter this palace.”Bina exhaled, her lips curving into something that wasn’t quite a smile.“And if you lose?”Anton’s jaw tightened.“Then my men will surrender peacefully.”A moment of silence passed between them.And then, Bina laughed.A deep, almost booming sound, filled with something akin to amusement… and disappointment.“You are either the bravest or the most foolish knight I have ever met, Captain Anton.” She rested her hand on the haft of her war axe, her fingers tightening around the weapon’s familiar grip.Anton did not flinch. Bina’s amusement faded. She gave him a firm nod. Both of them knew, this is actually a heartfelt plea from Anton, he wanted Grand General Bine to allow his men to live, this I his earnest beg.
At precisely 10 AM, just as the dust from the explosions had barely begun to settle, a deep echoing voice rang across the battlefield.“To the soldiers and citizens of Alemia!”It was him.The President of Aeternum.His voice carried through the winds, reverberating through the ruined streets, projected through Aeternum’s massive military speakers for all to hear.“Your war is over. Lay down your arms. Submit to the governance of Aeternum, and you will be spared.”His words hung in the air like a final judgment.And then, like a descending storm, the Aeternum Army finally began to move.It was a terrifyingly unified march.Thousands upon thousands of troops moved in perfect synchronicity, their steel boots pounding against the earth like a drum of war. Tanks rolled forward, massive military vehicles flanking the advancing battalions, gunships and airships circling the skies like mechanical reapers.At that moment, the people of Alemia saw it—the unstoppable tide of Aeternum’s might de
“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
