"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
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
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
I knew what was at stake. We had to uphold this example. We had to show, beyond doubt, that the age of “Human First” was over.That the only supremacy left was the supremacy of character. Wisdom. Unity. Vision. And if we could carve that truth into the very soul of the UNA—if we could bury the old hatreds under libraries, not graves—then maybe, just maybe, this world could finally, finally leave its chains behind.I stood up from my chair, moving to the window. Out there, the city pulsed—an endless, living testament to what was possible when walls were torn down, not built higher. I closed my eyes for a moment. I didn’t want to be remembered as the conqueror of nations. I wanted to be remembered as the architect of a new era.One where no child was born inferior. One where no citizen was condemned by the shape of their ears or the color of their skin or the tail on their back. One where power didn’t mean oppression—but opportunity.Aeternum would be the beacon. And the UNA? The vessel
