For Major General Lucas and Major Fontana, this battle that they were fighting at the moment, isn’t something that they can even considered a challenged, even the defensive fight defending the border from Monster Stampede of Tier 1 were much more harder than these fight. Still both of them were not complaining at all, nor even wanted to say anything to rebuke these fact, as there were the President in their presence, no one should be the wiser and even questioned him on his plans, surely he must have his own reason and them as the soldiers should only follow their orders and performed their duty well.“Sir…don’t you think that this Battle, right now.. is a little bit weird?..”.(Colonel Samuel)Colonel Samuel is Major General Lucas second in command that he brought along side him. He was middle age gentleman with dark skin tone, a very big Aeternum patriot and also very knightly person with utmost warrior code. He and Major General Lucas were apart of the Aeternum Military first gene
For Major General Lucas, as soon as he got the new order from Albert, he was breathing the sigh of relief, to be honest, he also felt that this battle with Baron Sunders army were already a battle that the already won. To do more it was practically useless and just a waste of time, but as a soldier he can just dismissed an order that were given to him by the President. The military isn’t like any Aeternum government body, that the subordinate can just go against the superior as they liked. Especially when the order were given by the President himself, his order had to be held like akin to a god command in Aeternum military standard, even if the president command them to killed an innocent civilian, they had to follow them. Major General Lucas as well as all the Aeternum military upper brass hold these devotion to the military command to their highest regards.In Aeternum Military there were a saying that every Aeternum soldiers adhered to with their own life, that is, ‘whether it was
Hearing Major Fontana answer the impromptu question to his loyalty, with a firmed answer it pleases the Major General immensely. It seems like the head of the Knight Division that were recently added to the Aeternum Military were not bad at all.“If you Answer that question poorly…I am going to bring you to a court martial…..but….you did a good job there..Hahaha..”.(Major General Lucas)“Well…in the contrary to anyone belief…I am a full pledge Aeternum now and so does my family…also…I am a true Knight after all…and Aeternum military code of conduct..is really adhering to my Knightly beliefs…”.(Major Fontana)“Oh..right…I forgot…you are really a true Knight before you even lead the Knight Division…silly me..”.(Major General Lucas)“It’s alright…it was just my past history…I have been living a runaway lives for so long that my Noble demeanour has basically faded away already…by the way…don’t you think we should just ended these fight already?..”.(Major Fontana)Both of the were even man
Everyone that has a brain inside their head that are capable to discerned a reality, knows that this battle between the Aeternum and Baron Sunders Army, is a battle that were already won by 100% by Aeternum as from the start of the real battle Baron Sunders Army has not even able to withstand a single counter attack that were done by Aeternum. Instead their numbers just keep decreasing faster and faster than they thought, their leaders were either ran away or dead, when compared with strength and experience Aeternum soldiers topped them by miles. It was either they surrender of just die where they stand that is the obvious outcome to the Baron Sunder Army, and at the end, they surrender.“Please!…stop!….have mercy….we all surrender and lay down our weapon and will not resisted any treatment you give us….all we asked was for the merciful and benevolent, His Highness President to accept our surrender!…Please!…I beg of you!..”.(Sergeant Swordsman Campbell)“PLEASE HAVE MERCY!!!…YOUR HIGH
Although the war started gradually, it ended abruptly as soon as the enemy side just gave up and surrender. It was very anti-climatic to me to be quite honest, although I am thankful that everything ended easily, it was a bit of a let down that I don’t really got to see much of an action. But now that I think about it, with the kind of soldiers and weapons technology that Aeternum had, perhaps only the Battle Star Empire can become at the very least a challenged to Aeternum military prowess, Since that Empire just had to many soldiers in their possession. Nothing out of the ordinary happened at the moment, all I do is just sat on top of the 2nd Caravel Ship top deck that is now already fully anchored, on the riverside. Everyone insisted that I just stayed here since the land were dirty or things like that. Deep down I know that all of them just feel stuffy with me around them, while they were working.“Here you go, My Lord….”.(Alfred Monticello)“..Thank you, Alfred…you should help yo
Whilst the President were resting at the ship, overseeing everything that is currently going on on the battlefield, which is now being cleaned by the defeated and surrendered Baron Sunders Army, under the watching eyes of the Aeternum soldiers. Everything has been rather docile and under controlled situations, Major General Lucas and Major Fontana, at the moment were on the side of the battlefield, resting with the troops that were receiving their medical attention, and those that has just arrived, which is the Airship crew. The Backup, which is the Aeternum Air Force, lead by the 4 Airship under the Commanding officer, Air Commander Altinia Ellarian, one of the 2 Aeternum Air Force Division of the Rank Air Commander, which is bellow the Air General and also the Air Major General which is hold by Eliza herself.“Looks like you boys were looking rather bored….are the fight aren’t that entertaining?..”.(Air Commander Altinia Ellarian)Both Major General Lucas and Major Fontana, looked t
People of Aeternum is very docile and peace loving bunch, they all obeyed the law and respected the government at all times and they believed in doing their parts and that would make the nation a more better places and environment for them. So for Major General Lucas and Major Fontana to hear that the nation were in such situation where everyone were in high emotions, this is something that is quite scary to process. Because at the end of the day, Aeternum people is not to be mess with, although they all seems like a peaceful bunch, all of them has a background stories that is very much cruel and sad. Aeternum people were all a hardy bunch, they were survivor and when it comes to a pushes and shoves, Aeternum people can be very scary.“…so in short, our people…everyone that has seen the Alemia nation atrocities..they all wanted a piece..right?..”.(Major General Lucas)Major General Lucas said, as he tiredly looked at Air Commander Altinia, who doesn’t even looked back at him, a
Taking care of the battlefield is much more time consuming matter than the battle itself these time, there were a few soldier that were injured and need treatment so, with the Battle ended quick, they can rest for now, as for the matter on the field, we have the prisoners of war taking care of it. Since they were the defeated party now their lives were belonged to me. At these medieval ear, there is no such things as a rule of engagement that has been solidified into a universal law that everyone must follow. In war, everything were permitted and at the law that everyone recognized is that in terms of battle only the victor can have everything. I don’t really care about the enemy condition right now, if they injured or not, they will have to work for their own lives.As I have said before, I am not a naive person nor forgiving, sure they might take their blades since they were forced upon it by their noble, but that has got nothing to do with me. They chose to fight me, so now they lo
“That settles it,” said Queen Inariel. “I want one. No—two. One for me, and one for my heir.”There was laughter, yes—but beneath it, genuine interest and burning ambition.These weren’t simply rulers indulging in luxury. They were leaders who understood symbols. In their home countries, where roads were still dirt and carts still squeaked over stone, returning in a Presidential SUV would not merely signify alliance—it would inspire transformation. A visual cue to their people that change had come.Brogath turned to Cassana. “And how do we acquire these… symbols?”Cassana smiled. “Each vehicle is available through our UNA Government Procurement Program. With subsidies for infrastructure partners. If your country commits to hosting an AAM-supported maintenance center, we offer reduced fleet prices.”Prince Thelric’s eyes lit up. “So, we wouldn’t just buy cars. We could build an AAM branch?”“Exactly,” said Cassana. “It’s part of Aeternum’s development outreach.”The implications were e
Mrs. Jamey blinked. “Pardon?”The Queen’s proposal was gentle but clear. “Our kingdom—Lirya—is small, yes. But we have abundant cotton, some of the finest silk-spinning traditions in our mountain region, and a rising population of tailors looking for stable work. Nicole’s… would be cherished there.”It wasn’t long before other leaders joined the conversation. Prince Thelric spoke of his nation’s dye-producing forests. A dwarven delegate mentioned an offer to help forge enchanted weaving machines. Everyone wanted to be the first to secure Nicole’s expansion.Mr. Jamey chuckled, both overwhelmed and humbled. “We always thought expansion meant bigger cities in Aeternum. But… I suppose we’ve been looking too closely. Nicole’s could mean something far more if we carry her name into the world.”By the time the sun began to set, the Jameys had exchanged contact crystals with six different representatives. Nicole’s might soon go international.And Nicole’s was just the beginning. Across New C
“It is said that if knowledge was water,” said their guide, a half-elf librarian named Vestra, “then Aeternum’s library is the ocean.”In a grand central chamber, they passed under a dome showing a starmap that changed with real-time sky positions. Every known nation had a section—yes, even the smallest and poorest. Aeternum had made it a point of pride to gather the history of every people in the continent, even those now forgotten by time.“This is… our old crest,” Queen Inariel whispered, her fingertips trembling as she reached toward an illuminated tome. “From three centuries ago… when our land was still one forest, before the wars divided it…”“We thought this was lost,” murmured Thelric as he came upon a scroll written in his kingdom’s ancient language, long dead and unspoken.Their tour grew quiet. There was no mocking here, no pompous declarations of Aeternum’s superiority. Only quiet reverence. A nation this strong, this secure, chose to preserve—not dominate. It guarded the
A knock at the door interrupted the quiet hum.It was Director Kwak Lum, again dressed in his signature dark blue robes, his draconic features smiling as he entered.“Honored guests,” he said, bowing respectfully. “Allow me to welcome you, on behalf of the Aeternum Crown and President Mies Sai. You are the first stars to light the Summit’s sky, and we are honored by your presence.”The gathered leaders rose and bowed in return.“We will ensure your time here is not just comfortable,” Kwak Lum continued, “but fruitful. Tours of the city have been arranged. Economic delegates will arrive within days for pre-summit discussions. And the Four-Leaf’s hot springs are now fully prepared—though I dare say our chefs may be the true stars of the Resort.”Laughter rippled through the room.As Kwak Lum left, Queen Inariel turned to the others. “Let them come in airships. Let them come with fanfare and marching bands. We came with purpose.”“And humility,” Brogath added.“Let’s make sure the world
Ambassador Roland cleared his throat. “Director Kwak… if I may speak freely?”“Always, Ambassador Roland.”He stood, brushing a hand across his waistcoat. “We are humbled. To house our people in such a place… it is more than any of us expected. We… we feared being seen as the weaker voices among the UNA.”Kwak Lum’s smile broadened, his eyes gleaming like starlight. “We do not see you as weak. We see you as family.”The moment lingered in silence, the kind that needs no words. Roland sat down; cheeks slightly flushed but heart a little lighter.Outside, beyond the floor-to-ceiling window, the sprawling city continued its dance of preparation. Massive floral displays were being installed at the roundabout leading to the Summit Plaza. Colorful banners were raised in quick succession, displaying the names of each arriving nation. Already, the delegation from the Dukedom of Angela had arrived in a train of shimmering glass carriages. The Republic of Telvinia’s airship hovered just beyond
“Attention citizens of the Free Nation,” a cheerful voice echoed across cobblestone streets, “this is an international broadcast. In four weeks’, time, the UNA Summit will commence in New City, Aeternum. Thirty-one proud nations will stand together under one flag of progress, cooperation, and shared security. We celebrate an era of peace—an age of unity…”The words echoed like thunder in the council chamber.Outside, people paused to listen. While many among the elite scowled and turned away, others in the lower districts paused, curious. Some even smiled. The promise of unity, safety, and growth was seductive—especially to the common folk, burdened by Triangle Guild’s centuries of unchecked power and exorbitant fees.Kennedy noticed it. “Look at them… even our own people are considering it.”“They’re weak,” Carn muttered. “They don’t understand what’s at stake.”Alphonse’s brow furrowed. “Or maybe they do. Maybe they’re tired of being bled dry by guild taxes and levies. Aeternum gave
In New City, President Kaiser Mies Sai met with his advisors. The room buzzed with discussions about the upcoming summit and the potential threats from dissenting nations.Advisor Elena: "Mr. President, intelligence reports suggest increased propaganda from the Principality. They aim to discredit the summit and our initiatives."President Mies: "We anticipated resistance. Our focus remains on unity and progress. Let their words be drowned by the chorus of cooperation and shared prosperity."The President's resolve was clear. The UNA would not be deterred by the dissent of those clinging to outdated and oppressive ideologies.As the summit drew nearer, the world watched with bated breath. Supporters of the UNA saw it as a beacon of hope and collaboration, while detractors viewed it as a threat to their traditional power structures.In the Principality of Light, the Church intensified its rhetoric, urging its followers to resist the UNA's influence. Yet, whispers of dissent emerged even
The Ministry of Infrastructure has begun preparations to reroute major traffic corridors to accommodate the anticipated diplomatic convoys and foreign delegates. The Ministry of Culture is also curating a week-long cultural exposition to showcase Aeternum’s diversity and progress.President Mies’ spokesperson confirmed that multiple major policy announcements are expected during the summit’s plenary sessions, including topics rumored to include:Official designation of the Aeternum Credit as the UNA’s preferred trade currency. Establishment of the UNA Education Oversight Bureau. Expansion of continental transport infrastructure, and. Strengthened defense cooperation under UNA guidelinesNo foreign media has yet been granted interview access to the President ahead of the summit, but sources within the Black House suggest the upcoming event is being viewed as “a generational turning point.”"The world is watching. The people are ready. And in five weeks’ time, New City will become more
Aeternum would continue to offer education, security, and infrastructure assistance—but always in a way that ensured we maintained our lead.We would teach them how to build schools, but we would own the publishing rights to the most advanced textbooks. We would help them create local militias, but they would still call for Aeternum troops when true threats loomed.We would help them modernize, industrialize, prosper—but they would know, always know, that Aeternum had already blazed the trail further ahead. I didn’t want vassals. I wanted allies who could never quite catch up—because they didn’t need to. They needed us to lead.I rose from my chair and walked toward the window. New City stretched into the horizon, its shining towers and clean streets proof of what discipline and vision could achieve.If left alone, the world would fall back into darkness. If left to their own devices, these medieval kings and nobles would tear each other apart again. The future needed guardians. The U
