"I believe we still need more proposals for consideration.""For what comes next, I want everyone to speak freely. Then, together, we will weigh every opinion and formulate the landing plan."Joseph addressed the room.With that, a fierce discussion began in earnest.After two full hours, the debate finally drew to a close. At last, the group had arrived at a shared core position.Joseph raised a hand, signaling for silence.At once, the room quieted."The two main schools of thought are these: a direct frontal assault, or a surprise beachhead seizure with an elite strike force.""I think both approaches have merit.""After careful consideration, I intend to employ both. But my thinking differs somewhat from yours.""Strictly speaking, I have merely refined your proposals."Joseph rose to his feet, swept his gaze across the assembled generals, and spoke."Then we ask General Wilson to decide.""Please, General Wilson—give the order.""General Wilson, the floor is yours.""..."At his

"General, your foresight is far beyond ours.""With a commander like you, Elysia has nothing to fear.""Your achievements are unparalleled, General. History itself will remember what you have done for Elysia.""..."Voices of admiration rose one after another across the room."When the fate of the nation hangs in the balance, every citizen bears a duty. How would I dare speak of merit?" Joseph said calmly."It is now six-thirty in the evening. In two and a half hours, long-range strategic weapons will erupt from the Southern Frontier and fire the opening salvo of our counteroffensive against the Dreadmoor homeland."He glanced at the time and addressed them all.At those words, everyone rose to their feet, the atmosphere turning grave at once."We still have some time.""I need each of you to present your amphibious assault plans.""Before long, our million-strong royal host will cross the sea with blades raised high and crush Dreadmoor beneath its march."Joseph swept his gaze over t

“Yes, General!”the soldier answered at once.“Joseph—mercy, please... spare me...”Benson Cooper had gone limp, his voice thin and broken, scarcely sounding alive.Before long, both men were dragged away.Afterward, Joseph went to the Gutierrez estate, where he met with Preston Gutierrez and Wayne Gutierrez.At this point, Joseph had fulfilled the promise he had once made. The Gutierrez family had turned at the critical hour, abandoned the darkness, and chosen the light; because of that, the family was spared.The people under Joseph’s command worked with remarkable efficiency.The very next day, Vincent Murphy and Benson Cooper were taken to the North Gate and subjected to death by a thousand cuts, every stroke inflicted while they were still conscious.Only at the final cut were they granted death in a single stroke.On the third day, the reckoning against the Cooper family and the Murphy family was still underway. Within those families, all except women and children whose crimes m

“You bastard—you owe me my brother’s life!”Another soldier rushed forward as well, raising his weapon to fire.Bang!Seeing this, Camden Murphy fired first. The shot struck the soldier in the hand and knocked the gun from his grasp.Even then, Camden Murphy was about to fire again and kill the soldier outright.But in the very next instant—Bang! Bang! Bang!Hundreds of shots erupted at once. The soldiers around him all opened fire on Camden Murphy together, and in a heartbeat his body was riddled through like a sieve.“To hell with this. We came here to defend our homes and our country, and now the Murphy family and the Cooper family have turned their guns on our families and demanded that we shoot our own kin.”“Brothers, I will not be the Central Council’s dog any longer. I’m done. I’m turning.”“Turn on them! Turn on them!”“To hell with them—open the gates and let the Southern Frontier Army into the city to execute the traitors.”“Open them! Open the gates!”The call was answere

“Young Lord, if I am not mistaken, your forces have already set out by now.”Neil Foster’s voice came through the line.“We will reach Nova City by tomorrow afternoon.”Joseph replied calmly.“General, I have good news on my side as well.”“That lad Clarence Bennett has rallied the garrison units from five or six nearby cities. At present, he has assembled a force of more than twenty thousand men.”“The moment you arrive, he will join your ranks and march with you toward Metropolis City.”Neil Foster said, unable to keep the satisfaction from his voice.“Good. Very good indeed.”At this, Joseph gave repeated words of approval.After a brief exchange, the call ended and each returned to his own affairs.The two hundred thousand-strong army rolled onward in grand formation toward Metropolis City.At the same time, Malcolm Sanchez led four hundred thousand troops in a mighty march toward the East Coast.Once those four hundred thousand arrived, the total garrison on the East Coast would

“Yes, General!”“In respectful submission to the distinguished commanders of the Southern Frontier, and to our brothers in arms there: the eight coastal provinces have jointly declared their withdrawal from the control of the Central Council.”“The Central Council has acted in utter defiance of reason and conscience, betraying the interests of our eight provinces and clinging to life through cowardly compromise. Such conduct is devoid of all decency and intolerable under heaven. The people of our eight coastal provinces understand their duty to defend their land and country. We swear to hold these provinces to the death and yield not one inch.”“In years past, General Eugene Wilson fought side by side with the people of our eight provinces. That bond of loyalty rises as high as the heavens themselves. Our people remain profoundly grateful and have never forgotten.”“Now the thieves and invaders have come once more. We pray that our brothers of the Southern Frontier will remember the b
