My plans of strengthening the Aeternum domestic affairs, got 100 percent support by everyone. All of them saw the importance of this plan itself, without me really spelling it out, for everyone to understand. Or perhaps this is what is everyone were waiting for all this time, Ever since I have been leading, I always made the policy of Aeternum going out of it’s way to assist anyone and even going off to meddle in other people business. Though objectively in spreading Aeternum names it was considered to be effective, but with this, we have slowed down the domestic development quite a bit.
“Instead of going out of our border…I agreed that we should strengthen our domestic affairs more…But, Sire President…Our Military, still needs to have it’s live training…Live actions…I believe that this is the only way..our military strength does not wither..”. (Minister of Defense Bina)
On the
“I agree with Sire President…Bear mind mind fellow members…We have spend over 6 million credits, in our efforts of participating foreign wars and skirmishes…Calculating from the many expenses, foods logistics, fuel..and compensations for our fallen soldiers..This cannot be prolonged..even with all the remunerations, rewards and loots that we obtained from those wars…we only able to profits only 2 million credits after covering the cost…Hence our domestic operation in these upcoming 3 years..is rather important for us…”. (Minister of Resource Andrea)This time from the Domestic Factions, Andrea who is speaking solidifying my plans. As for Domestic Factions, there were 3 Minister in it, Andrea, Mina and Rafaela, in Aeternum Cabinets and universally Aeternum Government there is 3 large factions, The Military, Central Government and finally the Domestic Factions. I don’t know how these 3 factions were forme
For the rest of the meeting, I explained in details about all of my plans on all of the zones that will be developed. Initially From the start of Aeternum were formed, I have already had the blueprint inside of my head and already being saved by T.A.S inside of Aeternum development plans. Hence, I have been following that blueprints all along. Not diverge a single bit, but instead each time it was slowly being build over the period of times. As of right out of the 4 zones, The Residential Zones has already taken shape and started to be developed in a large scales, and so does that Agriculture Zone.These 2 zones has already being up and running, especially the Agriculture Zone. As of right now the Entire Aeternum food supplies and products were developed here, and right now, Aeternums has been enjoying the harvest of Agriculture Zones for over 6 months already. With the area covering 10 000 square Kilometers, then were filled with Modern equipment and modern far
Right now the next on the schedule to be Develop, is 2 of the most important zones in Aeternum, one is the essentials zone, the industrial Zones, and the Second was the Military Zone. Compared to the other zones, Military Zone is something that I wanted to developed as secretive as possible. I want to borrow the Certain concept of the US secret military area, which is that everyone knows about it but still no one would be able to even enter them easily. On the Industrial Zones side, Andrea and the others were rather concerned about the relocation process.Since this zones will naturally be the homes of all industrial related stuff, it was given that factories will be built here. I have planned it to be in such way, Industrial Zones will be having over 30 000 Square Kilometers area and will be placed in the Southern Shark Region. Since this Area were rather mostly plains and open, it was suitable for it to be developed for the industry purpose. Also, the Southern
Planing the Industrial zones, to me is not that easy, after all this area will be used for a long time. I have to consider a lot of factor, and most of it were the pollution side effects, the reach of the areas and also how to make the entire place presentable and actually different than the Industrial places in Earth. I know that with Magics I can make a difference, that is why I need more in depth planning about this subjects. I wanted the Aeternum Industrial Zones not only a place where all the Products were made. But also a places that also will not harm the workers that will be working here.Industrial Zones will surely be places of work for many Aeternum, therefore I don’t want this place to be a reason of many health problems. I wanted this place looks beautiful and hazard free as much as it can be. For that, not only that I have to Discussed with the Elves and Druids on the fauna that can be helpful to neutralizes the pollution. I also have t
For the Military Zone, I have already got everything planned out, it will be just the same as any Military Zone back on earth, Secluded, secretive, and definitely off-limits. Also as of right now compared to the Industrial Zone, it has already had its necessary setup up and running. The roads and other utility systems were already in place, all thanks to the already set up Northern Military Base. Since the Northern Shark Region is a rather High-Risk Zone, thanks to the Underworld Portal were there. I naturally already had a small military base set up there to handle all the matters relating to the place.Now that It has been decided that the entire Northern Shark Region will be turned into Aeternum largest Military Zone, there will be no issues at all. All that we have to do is added more things to the place, also, I have also set all the military-related matters to be placed in the same zone. So the new Magic Firearms factory will be built there, the same goes for the Fire P
Perhaps thanks to the Concrete we were able to construct everything fast, this was even before the discovery of Magic Constructions. I supposed that now that there were a way to even hasten the constructions speed, I am sure that we can even hasten the construction even more. Perhaps it might just take a week or woe to completely finished the other 2 docks.“..Now that we were speaking about Constructions…Andrea..I think we can start recruiting our very own Constructions mages…”.“I agreed…Also, Sire…my Department has found out..that we can utilize even low-rank Mages to be our Magic Specialized Constructions worker…Compared to the Monti Construction company that hired only Tier 2 and Higher to be their staff…we have found out, that as long as a Mage can utilize a single element and even if they were a tier 1 mage…We can utilize them just as the same as the Monti Construction company does…”
For this particular 3 years plan. I spent almost a week, since the large cabinet meetings with all of Aeternum's upper echelon, one day to hold the largest meeting, then a few days after to discuss all the fine details, with every single department and ministers. I was quite satisfied with the result of the meetings as they were all on the same page as me, and also as eager as me. Wanted to see the result as fast as they can, At the same time, I can also say that along with me, T.A.S and all of my ministers were all active as a busy as a bee, every single day.For this plan, I and T.A.S will be taking the main role of an observer the whole time. For Elijah she will naturally take my spot whenever I was unavailable, still, she was pleased when I actively planned on developing our domestic strength. Several plans have been started by her before these plans were brought up by me, she has even started the Domestic Intelligence initiative that has been covering the entire Aeternum
As always as soon as I got back, the first thing that I did was to let T.A.S, reconnect to the internet and also Virtue Financial Database. Enabling him to configure everything that is both related to me and the company, to a real-time report. Making it easy for me to read everything in leisure, it was a hassle for me to read every single news myself. As always, per my order, the Entire perimeter around the warehouse was devoid of people. It was just for security measures, also to avoid people asking questions about what I actually was doing for a long time here. Then again, I have a personal lab set near the warehouse, so most of the excuses that the mansion staff gives to the people that asked for me is that I am still stuck inside my lab.“Sir!!..you’re back!!…”. (Butler Bang Hye)Mister Bang Hye, my mansion butler was shocked when he saw me coming out of the Warehouse area. He was sweeping the leaves off the pavement just now, this old man
“Count Dracul,”she began, her voice firm and unwavering,“I trust you’ve gathered the intelligence we requested. I need a full assessment of the current situation in the capital—numbers, key locations, morale, everything.”Count Dracul inclined his head and moved to his desk, retrieving a thick file of documents.“Of course, Lt. Colonel. I anticipated your arrival and prepared these reports. They contain detailed accounts of the enemy’s troop movements, the state of the Queen’s court, and the overall morale of the capital’s populace.”He handed the file to Selie with both hands, his gaze flickering nervously as she began flipping through the pages with meticulous precision. The room fell silent save for the sound of rustling paper. Dracul, despite his composed exterior, felt a bead of sweat trail down his temple. Selie’s reputation for strictness was well-known, and he could only hope his work met her exacting standards.Selie’s sharp eyes scanned the documents, her brow furrowing sl
“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
