“Thank god..we took care of that carefully..if not…we might get fired for that..”. (Nathan VVIP Bodyguard Second team)“Told you…we handled that, real good…”. (Gates Guard No.2)As the car passed the gates, for the Front gate guards, that incident just now really woke them up. After all that just now were a potential for them to lose their jobs, if they so much of handling that badly. Luckily the ever so stern madam Chairwoman were the one that save their hides these time. For Hannah and Jason, both of them were relief that they meet with their one time acquaintance that they once know a year ago, they know Catherine and who she is, because they after they were recruited, they meet her once for introductions session and their contract signing. Also both Hannah and Jason, or rather the entire Office knew her husband Ken, as Ken were their friends and also a rather influential figure in the Cosplaying world.“Thanks for the help Madam Catherine…I was worried that we might not able to
I were changing my clothes, when Butler Bang knocked on my door and tell me that, Neko Games finally come and bringing me the finished design. He also tells me about their little ordeal to get here, funny enough that’s is typical of them, after all they were both introverts, things like that happened. Both of them were waiting downstairs for me, together with Catherine who in the middle of having a breakfast. By now, Catherine eating at my Mansion is already a normal occasions, sometimes the whole gang just decided to eats here. I don’t really mind as they made the Mansion more lively, and the kitchen staff loves it, after all, I’m not the kind that frequently eats and i rarely just goes and wolf down anything. After getting dressed, I came down to the dining room and greeted by the scenes of Catherine at the table with Hannah Johnson and Jason Lee, currently having their cup of coffee.“Mies…They’re here..”. (Catherine)“Oh thanks…where’s Ken?..”.“At home…I come here for work…you kn
I can’t lie, to say that I wasn’t excited for today, would be nothing but lie, I am really excited to see what is the final design for everything that will shape and truly became the symbols and also the images of Aeternum from here on out.I have given Jason and his entire office times for them to do just about everything they wanted without putting any pressure on them. And so far, from before none of their works has displeased me or even made me disagree on their idea, sure there’s some aspect that can be improved, still, they take notes on my input and then redesigned it to make it even better. Now the day has come for me to see, What Aeternum is about to be and what are the new faces will be. The first reviews on the table is The designed for Aeternum cities, all 6 of the Major Cities in Aeternum including Eloesa City.“First Up, we got the new design for…Aeternum Capital City..The New City…Since these city were in fact the first city ever built In Aeternum and also the Foundation
Also for New City, The designed of the new river systems not only functions as the water systems for the city, but also enabling any water transportation to cruise into the city, any cargo ships can actually enter the city using the river canal. It functions as both the beauty aspect and also transportation route for water transportation, the beauty aspect of it, is that all the river side, an Area of 50 meter away from the river on both side, will be turned into a green area, a park and recreations areas for the city dwellers to rest and enjoy their time, there were also jogging paths, side benches, also at the riverside on the east side, which inside the Commercial Area, that particular area of the river side can be turned into a picturesque night market or even just a regular market., further beautify the areas. There were also a public transportation boats, that can run through the river all over the city, hence further lessen the city inner traffic, which is a brilliant ideas. So
If these were said to current Earth constructions technology, with millions of labour, such feats can be achieved naturally after all it was paired with technology and a lot of labour. But if we were talking about Fantasma, who have a combination of Earth modern technology and also Magic, that feat can easily be achieved. Because thanks to magic, a lot of steps can be bypassed, like the need to wait for concreted to dry and harden, or digging and building a foundations, any Level 1 Mage, can easily dug a 10 meters pit in a matter of seconds. And as of right now, the amount of Mage Constructions that were in the Department of Resource employment already reach 2.5 million people, all of them were in the range of level 1 to 3 Mage, with a single speciality.[If we imply Jason Lee predictions and estimation…he is theoretically correct,…but in truth, according to my calculations, we only need to put 1 million labour on a single City wall project, with 50% normal labour that use machinery o
In short, just from the design, I can already see just how every single structure were designed with care and also, it was clear that the city were actually able to be built, and on top of that, just like I wanted, every single aspect of the design will maximize efficiency of the entire city. Just from the design of harbour placements, the road placements. The Inharbour City, is a city that will maximize it’s use as the City of industrialism and constant flow of traffic. The Harbour were made to be able to anchor 30 ships at the same time, that is currently the largest amount of ships can actually docks at one time, in Fantasma, even the Harbour at Visma Nation, which consider the largest in Central Continent, could only docks 10 ships at one time.On top of that, the road designs that will covers the entire city were intentionally made a little bit larger than any city roads in Aeternum. Instead of just using a normal 4 lanes roads that were used on all the city road designed, the In
“Although each towns..is rather kinda individualistic at these point…still, personally these is the best applications that we can make…rather than just group them in a single spot…then when they were about to go to works….then they have to travel to the working field…isn’t that rather a waste of time…and also could factor to an accidents and also pollution's…so why not just put their working field close to where they lived…right?..”. (Jason Lee)“Also..with these design..not only it solve the range problem..but it will also made everything easy to track and easy to move…although the towns were spread apart..we still have a One Main City.right here in the middle of these spread…naturally these city will act as the Hub to everything…the Government full access facility, the Police headquarter for the regions…everything and anything will be placed here…and it also acted as the Central Storage for all the produce…so, all the transporter…can just directly come and stopped here at the Agricu
Just like they said, even thought the Dungeons were lucrative side business for the government, at the end of the day, it was also a threat and an obstacle. Sooner or latter, Aeternum will have more populations, although the current Aeternum already have a steady and prosper food supply and productions, we have to prepared for the future. So just like they propose, I decided to agree to the notion, Agriculture Zone will eradicates it’s Dungeon areas for more open land for farming and ranching, these had to be done.“(T.A.S…what other areas that we can turn into a Dungeon tourism spots?…)”.[The Occupied land at the Principality of Light can be use…Just like the Geek said..that region is littered with dungeons….and all of them were mostly underground and unattended and undiscovered…beside, ever since we occupied that land…we haven’t done anything to it…other than just placing the military and several outpost there…it’s better to use them…Also, we have the Desert of Nothingness and the
“The Crown Prince’s forces are as undisciplined and chaotic as this file suggests?”Count Dracul, standing stiffly at attention, nodded firmly.“Yes, Lt. Colonel. They are barely a shadow of what they once were. Their troops are underfed, underpaid, and completely demoralized. The noble’s squabble among themselves, and neither the Crown Prince nor the Queen has the wit or leadership to unite them.”Selie raised an eyebrow, leaning back in her chair with an expression that was equal parts disbelief and disdain.“So, they’re little more than children playing at war,” she muttered under her breath, her sharp tone betraying her disappointment. “It’s almost laughable. If this is what they call leadership, it’s a wonder they lasted this long.”For the next few minutes, Selie cross-referenced every point in the dossier with Count Dracul. Every troop position, every supply depot, and every weakness listed was corroborated. Dracul’s responses were quick and precise, each answer adding weight t
“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
