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
Point A/ Hallerus Border Contaminations Zone."Do I really have to do this?…".[Well..that's the quest thou….if you want the reward, then you have to do it…].{ Optional Quest : Kill 10 000 UndeadsPerquisite: Melee Weapon only. :Must be Accomplished Alone.Rewards: Oath of a Elder Dragon }In Just a few minutes away the Napalm would be here, all of a sudden a quest prompt up in my view. Not that I really mind but, actually I wanted to show all these medieval people a little fireworks, now that this happen, I had no way of showing that, Also knowing me, I'm kinda curious what the reward is. Perhaps I should burst out my annoyance on all these undeads."Colleen..Cancel the airstrike…"."Huh?…but sir…why?....wait
2 day's after the overwhelming victory over repelling the undeads, Aeternum has opened it's border to the world. The first one to entered the New city, was everyone that were participate in the battle, the beautiful and modern view of New City immediately taken every single one of them speechless, it was as if the entered a whole different world.The diversity of the populations, urban high rise and colourful building, not a single one of it's people looks shabby, made them puzzeled, all the New City citizen were wearing beautiful clothes and accessory that has been a new crazed high fashions all over central continent."I can't believe a magnificent place like this exist just near us…everything just otherworldliness….". (Princess Angela)Sitting inside her pegasus pulled carriage, she can't help but turning her heads around to see the scenery of Aeternum New City."Why do I feels like our garments s
Aeternum invited all the participants from the previous campaign into the New City, For the Celebrations Ceremony started. At 1900 Pm, Government District, Conference Centre, The giants 300 meter Dome building finally been used to host Aeternum first international events. Certainly it was a high class event's to everyone that attend it, Everyone was wearing their best clothes, needless to say the events itself was sophisticated, the decorations, the foods even the entertainment was something that a normal cizilian in Fantasma could never experience. The Celebrations not only happening inside the Dome but also outside.Everyone was enjoying themselves, Even the rowdiest Adventurer and Mercenary turned polite and cultured, mingling with each others with wine on their hands. Of course, since Fantasma is still a medieval world, a distinctions of caste needs to be shown. The Nobles has their own sections which is the first floor, if the ground floor there's only a lo
After the meeting ended, as usual me and my 5 minister are having our meeting. Needless to say the atmosphere was a little bit gloomy."Sir, Don't you think the deal was kinda one sided?..it looks as if we gave up our resource too much and earned to little…". (Andrea)She was worried, because the resource that we promised to provided were actually a high quality products."it might looks that way..but remember we sell them the resource, not giving them out for free…as for the training, it was nothing, we can just send our instructor there and trained their soldier for a few months…as a matter of fact, this deal will bring immense gold for years to come…".Everyone nodded at my reasoning, I don't really worried about what I gave them in the trade, all the things I provided were nothing but a common item that I can get easily. Of course for everyone in Fantasma the products that Aeternum
Aeternum after a few days of the celebration night, had enter the usual atmosphere, almost all the undead collaboration army already leave New city and headed for their own regions. Of course the independent individual such as adventurer and small mercenary group still remained, looking for some odd job in the city, some already buying a properties with intentions to resides in The New City.New City were also for the first time allowed the 3 neutral guild open their branch in the Commercial District, of course unlike the usual procedure that they 3 guilds opened for free, I decided that they had to pay a taxes. Of course the Adventurer, Mercenary and Merchant guilds tried to persuade us that they should be operated without taxes, saying that we will absolutely needs their power and their vast network. In the end with Andrea with and assurerance that Aeternum will do fine alone, and since the previous battle already prove that, the Guilds representative knew tha
"So you were saying in return for your Oath of Protections.. you want me to take in your kin?.."."Yes…they have been asking me for years…it broke my heart to see my kin were hunted down like animals..". (Griksu'um)His only request was for me to take in his Kin, which is the Lizard men race, according to him for decades his kin were hunted by human, killed, enslaved like every demi-human on Fantasma. He once tried to interfere, but the human interpreted he's act as a larger threat and an omen to a disaster, and started to form a coalitions and launch a war on him and the lizard men, which resulting on him nearly being killed and hundred thousand of his kin were killed and forced to flee their homes."Well I don't see any problem in doing that…sure tell your Kin to come into Aeternum…But, they all have o follow my nation rules and law…just because you asked for it..I wont bend the rules
"So..in conclusion, we now had the protections of an Ancient Dragon..in exchange for sheltering his Kin?..". (Elijah)"Yes..you should have our side ready for the Dragonkin...I tell him to hurried his people to come in before the next year...Just treat them the same as any citizen..".I revealed the news after the meeting with Griksu'um were done, the old Dragon already left to his new hill and probably mention the news to his people. Apparently, Elijah had deployed the entire Army to My mansion, but the Protective magic shield was cast by the old dragon that encompassed the whole mansion preventing them.At first, everyone was worried about me, but after explaining everything, whole Aeternum back to normal, Elijah and the ladies were also delighted with the unforeseen fortune. Apparently having a dragon as an ally was a big thing, In the end, everything is great."Mina, is there any movement from the Church?…"."There's
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
