Capítulo 17: The Dacian War
Misinformation warfare. It is a type of warfare where a state or a nation gathers the sentiments of the opposing side's citizens through fake or manipulated news.
In the modern age, misinformation is rather easy to do since access to social media and the like is everywhere, rather, information is everywhere.
In the current age, the 1920s, misinformation warfare is waged via newspapers, radios, or word-of-mouth. It is not easy to spread fake news or manipulated news since citizens are also working hard for their daily wages. For their families, they would rather choose to work than to rest.
Going back, misinformation warfare is the type of strategy that was used by the Empire against Dacia.
The Dacian citizens fell for the Empire's sweet talks. All kinds of harming words were plastered on the faces of the Grand Duchal family. The Grand Duchal family's reputation was riddled with lies, misleading truths, falsehoods, fabrications, and/or fake news. This mislead the common populace to stand up against them, and further spread more damaging rumors against the family.
And here comes the Empire. The Empire to the populace is like an angel that was heading towards them for salvation, however, in this case, the angel is not really an angle, but rather, a great pretender.
The common populace of Dacia does not know this, so it was rather easy for the Empire to scoot their way into the hearts of these people. You see, the Dacian citizens are poor. They have nothing to eat, nothing to spend, nothing to cure.... So the Empire provided them.
You want food, then you get food.
You want clothes, then you get clothes.
Oh, you got a wound, don't worry since the Empire's doctors are here to help.
Everything that the citizens of Dacia wished for, the Empire provided them, albeit only in small amounts.
However, even if the aids only came in small amounts, the citizens of Dacia seems to found an oasis in the middle of a vast desert.
Of course, this 'humanitarian aid' also came into attention of the Grand Duke. The Grand Duke and his council knew that something fishy was going on, however they can't move against the 'humanitarian aid' of the Empire, lest they will be seen by their citizens as disruptors of 'aid'.
However, as the months pass by, more and more citizens were being converted into the Empire 'faith'. The Citizens, believing that the Empire is akin to a God who came down from heaven in order to remove them from their current misery, done their own tasks and spread the 'faith' of the Empire.
Radios, newspapers, and people were spreading to others that the Empire is the salvation they are waiting for. Of course, this 'faith' is dabbled in by the hands of the Empire's agents in Dacia. They continually provoke the fire that is currently burning in the citizens' hearts.
In time, almost all of Dacia were believing on the 'Imperial Faith'. Religion is oftentimes a tool used by the leaders of the nation in order to rile up their citizens.
The Grand Duke, fearing that the 'Imperial faith' had already deeply penetrated the Grand Duchy, ordered some troops to arrest the perpetrators of this 'faith'. However, what he didn't know is that the 'faith' has already penetrated into his palace too.
Some of the troops that were sent was part of the believers faction. The believers faction is the faction who greatly believes that the Empire can lead them out of their misery. They are those who advocate the pro-Imperial view in the Duchy.
As said before, a handful of those troops sent were members of the believers faction. They informed the higher ups of the faction that the Grand Duke has sent some troops to arrest them. These higher ups quickly fled the scene.
When the Grand Duke and his men arrived at the location where the perpetrators of the 'faith' was said to be organizing, what they saw was a blank and empty space.
Numerous people from the nearby houses saw that the Grand Duke brought a platoon of soldiers. This greatly angered them thinking that the Duke was trying to arrest the 'priests' of their 'faith', which the Grand Duke originally intended to.
This news quickly spread throughout the Grand Duchy. The newspapers and the radios branded him as "the person who was against the people".
The Grand Duke, seeing that his reputation continually plummet, intended to answer some questions through interviews, so he invited some of the country's top news reporters.... The result was disastrous. The Grand Duke continually says that all he was doing was for his citizens.. but the reporters poke the Grand Duke where it hurts the most.
"If what you are doing is for the people, then why did you send an army in order to seize the 'helpers' of our nation?"
"Can't you see it?! The Empire is slowly poisoning the minds of my people!"
Yes, the Empire is slowly poisoning the minds of his people. The Imperial Faith is vicious poison that is slowly killing the Grand Duchy. Soon, this poison will eradicate the Grand Duchy, but where there is death, there shall be life. The Empire plans to help a new Republic to stand in place of the Duchal state, but that will be a story for later.
Going back, the Grand Duke was angered by his people's sentiments. His reputation is now in the gutters. He knew he needs to do something about this... so he decided to go with his original plans and send an army against the Empire.... How stupid.
Numerous soldiers were called by their officers and upon knowing that they were against the Empire, half of them backed out.
Some of the solders who backed out were sent straight to prison for treason, and some were killed on the spot. Some also fled to the vast mountains of the region, and some fled to the forests, just waiting for the Empire to bring down salvation towards them.
The remaining half of the soldiers (approximately 300,000 soldiers, from the manga's 600k), was forced to go against the Empire.
In all of the wars that happened in this very great Earth, soldiers are the one who suffers. They were the one who was sent to the frontlines, knowing that it might be their last day in Earth.....
Going back to the current time, Tanya can be seen celebrating in a room inside of a military base.
It was Tanya's birthday today, and it seems that she had received a wonderful gift.
"GOD! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN MY CURRENT LIFE THAT I HAVE RECEIVED A BIRTHDAY GIFT!!!! THANK YOU!!!"
Behind her are numerous radio operators who were operating equipment used to communicate with the recon. Lieutenant Colonel Reuger can also be seen with these radio operators.
"What's the deal with her?"
"Well, Lieutenant Colonel... Major Tanya here heard that there are no air traffic in the area...."
Tanya, still excited, butted in between the two's conversation.
"YES! NO AIR TRAFFIC! THIS MEANS THAT ENEMY AIR POWER WHICH WE ABSOLUTELY HATE IS ABSENT!!!!! YES!!! BANZAII!!!!!!!!"
"Nihongo?"
"Ooops!"
Looking at the celebrating Tanya, all of the radio operators were healed for a certain extent, well... except for Reuger.
THIS WAR MANIAC!
Tanya then went on to leave the room and order Lieutenant Weiss to gather the wing and distribute the new guns and ammunitions that the prince provided.
"Lieutenant Weiss!"
"Yes, Commander!"
"Gather the wing, and distribute the new guns and ammunitions. We have ducks to hunt. Also call Second Lieutenant Serebryakova here."
Ducks?
"Yes Commander!"
Lieutenant Weiss then went on to leave the room in order to call Visha and assemble the wing.
Lieutenant Colonel Reuger approached Tanya.
"Major Degurechaff."
"Yes Lieutenant Colonel?"
"The Headquarters is ordering you to only target the officers of the Dacian Army."
"Officers? Why only the officers?"
"Well.... this is rather classified operation but since you are now in the loop, I need to tell you the military strategy that the Empire adapted, made by the prince..."
Prince? Felix? What's this got to do with Felix?
Reuger then went on to tell Tanya about the misinformation warfare that was conducted against Dacia.
Misinformation huh.... It is rather early for the current times to adapt this strategy... Most of the strategies currently waged are strategies that involves guns, bombs, and the like.... but this... this is advanced... hmmm
Looking at the thinking Tanya, Reuger relishes on the fact that Tanya didn't get to spill blood and spread war.
Hehehe take that you War Maniac!
Tanya, having finished her thinking, told her opinions on the strategy.
"Misinformation warfare, gaslighting huh... The prince knew what to do it seems... Alright, I will only deal with those officers. However, what if those same army fired their guns upon us?"
"That's why you need to address them first, tell them to lay down their weapons or only those who bear arms against the Empire will be shot down."
"I see... It will really segregate those who are Imperial sympathizers and those who are loyal to the Duke."
"Yes. That's right, Major Degurechaff."
"Then what's next? I think my wing haven't even had the fun they have. It will be rather boring to just return without anything."
"That's why after eliminating the officers, you will head straight to the Dacian capital. I believe the citizens of that nation are now hunting their own Duke and his family. Try to calm the populace down and negotiate with the Duke."
ANARCHY! This is fucking Anarchy!
"Alright Understood."
Second Lieutenant Serebryakova entered the room and saluted towards the two officers.
"Commander! The wing is now ready."
"Alright. For the Empire."
"For the Empire."
Both Tanya and Reuger saluted towards each other. Afterwards, Tanya and Visha left the premises.
Tanya and Visha then went on to the location where her wing is gathered. She stood at a platform just above them, and gave her speech.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, today we stand on the brink of a decisive moment in our campaign. We have faced many challenges, endured countless hardships, and proven time and again that we are a force to be reckoned with. Today is no different.
We have been tasked with a unique mission, one that requires precision, strategy, and above all, discipline. The Empire has entrusted us with the critical operation of targeting the officers of the Dacian Army. This is not just another battle; it is a surgical strike to cut the head off the snake and bring chaos to order.
As we prepare to engage, remember that our primary target is the officers. They are the backbone of the Dacian military. Without them, their army will falter and their defenses will crumble. Approach with caution, but with the resolve that has brought us this far.
When you face the enemy, give them the chance to lay down their arms. Offer them the opportunity to surrender and join us, or face the consequences of their defiance.
Know this. We are not just soldiers; we are the tip of the spear. Our actions today will echo through the halls of history. We will march into the Dacian capital, not as conquerors, but as liberators. We will show the world that the Empire stands for justice, for order, and for the people.
So, arm yourselves with the new guns and ammunition provided by our generous prince. Sharpen your resolve and prepare your hearts. This is our moment. This is our mission. For the Empire!"
""FOR THE EMPIRE!""
Listening to the inspiring speech of their Wing Commander, the Imperial 203rd Aerial Mage Battalion's hearts rang true.
Tanya looked at their proud faces and thought to herself.
That's right my human shields, you need to be stronger in order to be a sturdy shield for me, hehehe
"Before that, let me remind you guys... The enemy is only composed of infantry... and if one of you is dumb enough to get shot...."
Tanya then looked at them with a scary smirk.
"You will face a punishment akin to hell's torture."
THIS DEVIL!
"Alright men, let's go, to our ducks!"
"TO OUR DUCKS!"
Tanya and her wing flew towards the direction of the Dacian Army.
On the way, they saw numerous Imperial Border Guards who are currently retreating.
"Commander, those looks like the Border Guards... They are currently retreating...."
"Well, Second Lieutenant Serebryakova, patch them through."
"Understood, Commander!"
Visha radioed the Border Guards who were currently retreating and gave the radio to Tanya.
"Bzzzt-This is Border Guard Control, the enemy vanguard is currently approaching, with an approximate number of 50,000! I suggest to wait for reinforcements, over."
"Yes, you guys wait for the reinforcements. My wing and I will go head straight towards the enemies, over."
"Understood, good luck, over."
Tanya passed the radio back to Visha and continued their journey towards the Dacian Army.
A good 5 minutes has passed until they saw the vanguard of the army.
There, they say an army numbered 50,000 strong (weak).
All of the soldiers have flintlocks as their rifle. They were dressed in the soldier's attire during the Napoleonic wars.
"Alright, Ladies and Gentlemen. Does this guys have an open channel radio?"
"No, commander, they do not have radios with them..."
"Haaa.... So I need to amplify my voice huh? Well, there's nothing that can be done..."
Tanya cleared her throat and with a childish voice that is very different from her usual deep voice, said the following to the crowd below them.
"Uh um... If you lay down your arms, ummm... we will not shoot you... Please, give up your guns, lay them down. pretty please."
CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tanya then faced her men and with her serious eyes, addressed them.
"Don't. Ever. Talk. About. This."
All of the mages nodded.
"Especially. Don't. Ever. Say. This. To. The. Prince."
All of the mages nodded vigorously.
"Good. Let's go hunt some ducks."
Tanya and her wing saw that majority of the army laid down their guns. At least 20% of the army still remains to be armed. They can also see some officers executing some of the infantry that laid down their arms. Some of the surrendered infantry went on to their own ways in order to not get implicated during the fight.
"Well... let's get going boys. Squadron 1, attack from the left. Squadron 2, attack from the right. Squadron 3, with me. We will head towards the tent over there. Remember, prioritize those officers."
Tanya then pointed at the tent that was at least 2 kilometers away from them.
""UNDERSTOOD COMMANDER!""
The 1st and 2nd squadron then went on to do their tasks, Tanya decided to stay for a bit in order to watch the 1st and 2nd Squadron's performance.
Numerous explosions, gunshots, and cannon fire are the background music of the troupe.
The 1st and 2nd squadron weaved together in a V formation just above the infantry. They continually shoot their new HVD (SVD) rifles. They were rather happy that they have received such high performing guns since they can safely shoot them at a longer distance than normal.
This 'massacre' happened for at least 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, the group also noticed that the remaining enemies were gathering into a square formation, or what is written in the 'manual' as anti-air formation.
The 1st and 2nd squadron then backed up in order to avoid the formation, but Tanya was greatly pissed about this.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING?"
"Commander, they are just following the manual."
"Manual?"
"Yes, commander. It was stated in the Manual that the square formation is a formation intended to shoot down air targets."
"What? That's stupi-"
Tanya then remembered that the mage corps is just a new thing....
Calm down, the fights of the 203rd Aerial Mages can be used by the general staff as a template on what to do during such times.... Then maybe I will be awarded with another medal or maybe be promoted to a rear officer! YES!!!!
"Haysss, tell them to ditch the manual and fight according to what I taught them! They can't be hit by those flint-fucking-lock muskets!"
"Understood commander."
Visha then went on to radio the orders of Tanya towards the squadrons which prompted them to look towards Tanya.
Looking at Tanya, they were rather unnerved since Tanya's face is especially scary...
The squadrons then went on to deal with the formations.
Tanya, having thought some valuable lessons towards her wing, was feeling accomplished.
Tanya and her own squadron, squadron 3, went on to head towards the tent that they saw previously.
Tanya flew amidst the gunshots, explosions, and the like. Once they arrived at the tent, they opted for a conspicuous landing.... Landing at the middle of the tent, prompting it to collapse, they were suddenly met with tens of flintlock muskets pointed towards them.
"Ergebt eure Waffen und legt sie nieder. Befolgt die Anweisungen und ihr werdet leben, widersetzt euch und ihr werdet sterben (Surrender your guns and put them down. Comply and you live, defy and you die)."
An officer, someone who has noticeably more medals than the others, asks one of his fellow for a translation, (in Romanian).
"Ce au spus? (What did they say?)"
"Generale, cred că au spus să ne predăm pentru a trăi sau să rezistăm pentru a muri... (General, I think they said to surrender to live or resist to die....)"
"Ce?! Acești nenorociți chiar încearcă să ne facă să ne predăm când o sută de muschete sunt îndreptate spre ei? Ce prostie, hahahah! (What the?! Are these fuckers really trying to get us to surrender when a hundred muskets are pointed at them? What nonsense, hahahah!)"
Tanya, having no knowledge of the language that was spoken, asks her fellows for a rough translation.
"Kommandant, sie denken, dass Sie dumm sind. (Commander, they think you are stupid.)"
"Diese Scheißkerle!! (THESE FUCKERS!!)"
Tanya closed her eyes and breathed in for a little bit, then opened her eyes again.
"Gut, wissen Sie, was wir mit Leuten machen, die illegal unser Land betreten? Ja, genau, ABSCHIEBUNG!!!!!! (Alright, do you know what we would do for people who are illegally trespassing our lands? Yes, that's right, DEPORTATION!!!!!!)"
Tanya and her group then went on to fire all of their ammos towards the enemies surrounding them.
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
After a minute or two of firing, silence permeated the surroundings. Tanya looked around and saw numerous corpses surrounding them. Some corpses are rather gory wherein part of their head has been blown off. Some has their legs and arms removed from the body. Some... well.... some has no body...
Amidst these corpses, Tanya saw a single cowering human. This human is the general who was berating them earlier. She saw that he survived by dragging a corpse and hiding himself amidst the corpses, but his luck seems to have ran out.... Tanya saw him.
"Drag that piece of shit out of this hellhole and tie him down."
Tanya's group then dragged the general and cuffed him.
Tanya then approached the man and grabbed a medal that was hanging on the general's breast pocket.
"Sieht aus, als würdest du das nicht mehr brauchen. (Looks like you wont be needing this anymore.)"
"Acest șmecher- (This fucker-)"
He was interrupted when Weiss suddenly arrived from the air and smashed the head of the general towards the ground, leaving him unconscious.
"Oh well-"
"Commander!! a wing of unknown mages is currently approaching us!"
Visha suddenly reported to Tanya. The wing was a little bit nervous since this will be first time they will face enemy mages.
"Hmm? Flies are approaching our dead ducks? I thought Dacia does not have Aerial Mages?"
"It is an unknown mana signature commander! Never before recorded by the Empire!"
"Well, let's get ready guys! Let's show these flies how a fly swatter works."
Due to the 'caring' words of their Commander, the wing felt a little bit relieved. Although the nervousness is still there, just having their commander by their side is sufficient enough.
They then tied the general up in a tree with a note saying, "Enemy General" on his torso.
The wing then flew towards the enemy mages in order to intercept them. Once they are at least 5km away from the enemy mages, Tanya stopped for a bit in order to identify the enemy.
Peering through her binoculars, Tanya looked at the incoming mages. She saw that the mages were garbed in M1909 uniform made of brown-khaki wool. She also saw the hat that the enemies are wearing are closely reminiscent of Ottoman's enver hat. Another notable thing is that they are riding a carpet.....Sort of giving Aladdin vibes....
"I see... I see multiple sandflies coming to our direction."
Sandflies?
"Yes, my wing, sandflies, Ottoman sandflies."
The wing suddenly became enlightened. Looking at them, they really look like sandflies.
"Well, listen up. Spread some optical illusion around us. We are currently 10,000 feet high in the air, they still haven't seen us and we will use this at our advantage. Within 3kms, thin down their numbers using our superior guns. Fire, fire, and fire, with all you got."
"If they still managed to hold on, we will give them the shock of their life and let them realize how inferior their nation is to ours!"
"Ladies and gents! Am I clear?"
"CLEAR!"
"Then let's wait for them to come closer and swat them dead."
After waiting for 9 minutes, the enemies had already arrived in their range.
"Alright men, fire after me.."
Tanya activated her Type 95 Elenium Operational Orb, which changed her eyes to gold, and chanted her prayers.
"Oh Lord, please guide this lost lambs towards your paradise."
A large magic circle appeared behind her. Inside the magic circle is a cross with numerous Germanic words embedded on it. The most noticeable word in the cross is the word Erlösung which typically refers to "redemption" or "deliverance".
"Help them find their way back to You, and grant them the strength and wisdom to follow Your path."
Tanya aimed her HVD towards the path of the enemy and numerous magic circle appeared at the tip of her gun, ranging from small to large.
"Amen."
*BOOOOM*
Twenty homing laser-like spells was released from Tanya's gun. These spells darkened the surroundings which gave emphasis on the spells. The appearance is akin to numerous shooting stars entering the night sky. The sight truly attracted both the enemies and the allies side.
Schön (beautiful)
The intertwining spells were so captivating that the Ottoman mages stopped at their tracks. They were so captivated by the beauty of it which made them not realize that the spells were heading towards them, and when they realized it..... it was already too late.
"KAÇINMA MANEV- (EVASIVE MANEU-)"
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
Numerous explosions happened in an instant.
Within a blink of an eye, only a third of the original 48 mages were remaining. The others, falling, dead, or mortally wounded.
Tanya then addressed his still-captivated men to fire towards the enemies.
"Looks like most of the sandflies are dead, come on, men, help me swat some of them, yeah?"
"YES COMMANDER!"
The whole wing then went full speed towards the enemies, while Tanya stayed high in the air, and with her golden eyes, observed her wing
"How serene. How calming. The Lord's grace is truly calming."
________________________
After the battle above the black sea, all of the ottoman mages were either killed or drowned to their deaths.
Tanya's wing, on the other hand, has no casualties, even a simple nick on the garment of the mages were non-existent.
The mages were a bit excited on their win. They were exhilarated since it was their first win, but Tanya then calmed them down.
Looking at the golden eyes of Tanya, the mages were a bit unnerved since it is the first time they saw their commander this calm. Normally, Tanya will be jumping up and down due to the joy of not losing a single person, but this calm Tanya scares them.
"Good job, everyone. I am happy to see you all alive and excited."
With a small smile on her face, she said all of that calmly.
This relieved a little bit, but the mages knew that something wrong is going on.... But they quickly forgot it.
"Alright, everyone, let's head towards the capital."
""UNDERSTOOD COMMANDER!""
Tanya just simply smiled and flew towards the capital of the Grand Duchy.
After an hour of flying, they can now see the capital of Dacia.
It was rather loud at the capital. Numerous people can be seen circling in the Grand Plaza of the capital, shouting loudly. In the middle of the Plaza, a family can be seen tied up.
Tanya saw all of this and was wondering, so she went down towards the common people.
The common people, upon seeing a flying child, was greatly scared, however when they saw the Imperial Uniform that the kid is wearing, they were suddenly became reverent. The people then knelt down and praised her with multitude of praises.
To them, Tanya was like an angel of God who came down on Earth in order to give a revelation.
"Slăvit să fie numele tău, îngerul tău! Te rugăm să ne ierți pentru păcatele noastre! (Praise be thy name, thy angel! Please forgive us for our sins!)"
"Îngerul tău, te rugăm să ne oferi revelația ta! (Thy angel, please give us your revelation!)"
"Un heruvim, un heruvim în carne și oase! (A cherubim, a cherubim in the flesh!)"
Of course, Tanya does not understand this, however she can feel the blessings coming from the people.
Her wing also noticed this, and one person who was noticeably fluent in Romanian, translate it for them.
"Looks like they saw the Commander as an angel... Well, looking at her, she might really be an angel..."
"Nope, she is more like a devil."
"HAHAHAHAHA"
The mages laughed. Luckily, Tanya didn't get to hear this, or else they are toast...
Tanya is currently looking at the family tied up at the middle of the square. Although their garments are noticeably for nobles, their garments are nearly tattered in all places.
One noticeably prominent person, noticed that the angel is looking at the tied up family in the middle of the plaza, told her the identities of them with his broken German.
"Großherzog. Familie. (Grand Duke. Family.)"
Tanya heard the broken German of the person, she immediately understood who they were.
Looking at this, she aims to talk to them... but.... she does not know a single thing about Dacian Language. Luckily, one of the Empire's agents approached her.
"Salute! Hup! Major Degurechaff! I am an intelligence officer sent by the Bundesnachrichtendienst (Federal Intelligence Serive) to help you here!"
"Good. Can you translate for me, I want to talk for a bit with the Grand Duke."
"Alright, come with me Major."
The two then went on to talk to the Grand Duke and his family.
"Good day, your highness. I mean, good evening, your highness."
"YOU BASTARDS OF THE EMPIRE! HOW DARE YOU INVADE MY COUNTRY!"
"Invade? No, we are not invading, we are here to liberate the people of Dacia from your evil claws!"
When the translator translated this, all of the people in the square went into an uproar, so they can't hear the next things that the two were saying. Tanya whispered straight to the Grand Duke's ear a rather chilling thought.
"Don't worry, your highness. We will take care of your family, mainly your 6 year old daughter."
"YOU WOULD'NT DARE!"
"Of course, we would not dare, but we need a hostage in order to ensure your silence."
The Grand Duke was gritting his teeth. He thought of her youngest daughter who was also tied down with tears running down from her face.
"DAMN IT! ALRIGHT! SPARE MY DAUGHTER! SPARE HER! AND I WILL ENSURE THAT I WOULD NEVER EVER TRY TO CROSS THE EMPIRE!"
"That won't do Grand Duke. Don't worry the Empire's capital is quite nice. I wish to stay there too, you know, but... duty calls. Regardless, your daughter will be adopted by the Imperial Royal Family and will know how gracious the Empire was to her."
"However, through time, she will know the atrocities that you attempted to do towards the Empire, she will see you as a bad father, and a bad monarch. Isn't that better than to what ever fate she was intended to be suffering? On the other hand, you will be exiled towards your wife's country, Iberia (Spain)." (Bolshevik Revolution, the Imperial Family Romanov was killed by the Revolutionaries.)
Thinking about this, it is truly a good offer, however, he will miss out on his duty as a father towards her daughter....
"Alright. My daughter will be adopted by the Hohenzollern, and my family and I will be exiled to Iberia.... Please make sure my daughter will be safe from any harm."
"Don't worry, Grand Duke. Innocent children should not be affected by the war."
Said by the Child.....
Amidst the shouts of the Common People, Tanya and the Grand Duke had reached a consensus. This will then be reported towards the higher up and the Imperial Family.
Tanya knew that the Imperial Family would adopt the younger daughter since Felix himself told her to save any children as much as possible. He himself told Tanya that the Imperial Family would adopt the youngest child of the Duchal Family....
Tanya then went back and look towards her wing. Her eyes are now back to the original purplish-blue eyes.
Tanya then stared at her wing and her wing is also staring at her.
"What?"
Oringial Commander Tanya is back.....
"Nothing Commander."
"That so? Then let's stay at a nearby hotel, I am tired."
The group then asked the Imperial Intelligence Officer what is the best hotel in the region. The officer then pointed out a nearby building which was 5 storey tall.
Tanya went in and reserved the whole place, of course, paid by the Empire......
____________________
1 week later.
It only took the Empire a single week in order to capitulate the remaining Duchy loyalists.
In order to announce the beginning of the Dacian Republic, Felix was sent by his father to go towards Dacia.
It was rather safe to go out now since in the past week, the two leaders of the Red Movement was captured, tortured and was forced to give up numerous sensitive information, but that is a story for another time.
Going back, Felix is currently flying, together with his 10 Imperial Guards, and a wing of mages. All-in-all, they all count to 60 people.
They flew towards Dacia because currently, Dacia has no airports.... Though a lot of Dacian territory are plains, it was not suitable for an aircraft to land...
After an hour of flying, they can now see the capital city of Dacia.
The Dacian city was jampacked full of people. The plaza was full of both citizens and soldiers. The soldiers, still in their soldier attire are currently vibing to the upbeat blues song being played in the stage by a band. The band is one of the best bands in the current time, of course, the band is German.
Felix was greatly surprised about the happy atmosphere... He didn't hear any of this from his father.... He didn't know but this was a sudden initiative of the band. The band's hometown was originally Dacia, but they move to the Empire since Dacia does not know 'music'.
When the band noticed the flying mages, of course, he knew from the schedule that an Imperial Envoy is coming, however, he did not know that the Imperial Envoy that was sent is the Prince himself. The people of Dacia was not informed that the Prince will come himself for security reasons.
Noticing the Imperial Prince flying at the front of the group, the band acknowledged his presence.
"Alright everyone!! Let us acknowledge the gracious presence of our Imperial Prince! Prince Felix von Hohenzollern!"
WOAAAAAAH!!!!!
The crowd went into an uproar. Someone belonging to the Imperial Family of their faith is gracing them with his presence.
Felix was surprised on the sudden reception.... He looked at Tanya who was beside the stage, together with her wing, with an expression that shows 'WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?".
Tanya on the other hand, just shrugged, and showed him an expression that shows 'I don't know, just vibe'.
Once Felix landed on the stage, the band front man handed him the carbon microphone. The whole square suddenly became silent. It looked like they have an arrangement whereby during the Prince's talks, everyone needs to be silent.
It feels like a mass here...
Of course, Felix was a little bit nervous, but he steeled himself through looking at her goddess, who has an annoyed expression due to her vibe stopping and a sudden black head that is currently sticking behind her.
Felix then breathed in and out, and started his speech.
"People of Dacia,
It only took the Empire a single week to capitulate the remaining Duchy loyalists or should I say, your restrictors. We did it together with the help of our very own Dacian Revolutionaries. I stand before you today to announce the dawn of a new era—the beginning of the Dacian Republic.
I am Felix von Hohenzollern, sent by my father to help you usher in this new age.
As I flew here with my 10 Imperial Guards and a wing of 50 mages, I was filled with anticipation. The sight of your capital city, bustling with life, filled me with pride. To see the plaza filled with soldiers, enjoying the vibrant blues music played by one of the finest bands of our time, was unexpected yet heartwarming.
I am deeply moved by your warm reception. I, as an Imperial Prince, acknowledged by such a spirited crowd, is a testament to the bond between us. When I saw the band acknowledge my arrival, and heard the cheers of the crowd, I was filled with a sense of unity and purpose.
Today, I am here not just as a representative of the Empire, but as a friend and ally to the people of Dacia. Together, we shall build a future where peace and prosperity reign. Your enthusiasm and support inspire me to work tirelessly for our shared dreams.
I am also here to tell you that the Empire will provide the Dacian Republic numerous jobs by enlivening your economy with merchants and companies. We, will help you unleash your technological and economical revolution!
Let us move forward, hand in hand, into a future bright with promise. Together, we shall overcome any challenges and build a Dacian Republic that stands as a beacon of hope and strength.
Thank you, and may we all thrive in this new era of unity and progress.
Long Live the Republic and the Empire."

Amidst the frantic shouts of the crowd, Felix went down to the side towards Tanya. While walking towards Tanya, he noticed the black haired child sticking from the back of Tanya...
Of course, he knew who this person was.
He approached Tanya who has now a fed up expression since the child stuck to her upon seeing Felix.
Felix laughed at Tanya's expression which greatly annoyed Tanya.
"Looks like you had a child after going to Dacia, tell me, who's the father."
"OH SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!"
Felix just laughed.
Looking at the laughing weird man, the child was curious since she was only taught a little bit of German...
Once Felix stopped laughing, he approached the girl and ruffled her hair.
"Hey, Kleine, ich bin Felix und ich werde dein Bruder sein. (Hey, little one, I am Felix, and I will be your brother.)"
Of course, the little girl didn't understand it. So, the intelligence officer near the group translated it for her.
With her broken German, she introduced herself.
"Ich.. ben Elena Maria... (I am Elena Maria)."
"Ah! Elena Maria, welch ein sehr schöner Name. Ich hoffe, du wirst uns auch als deine Familie annehmen. Wir werden dich lieben wie nie zuvor. (Ah! Elena Maria, what a very nice name. I hope you will accept us as your family too. We will love you like never before.)"
"Ich habe auch eine jüngere Schwester zu Hause, die sich schon darauf freut, dich kennenzulernen! (I also have a younger sister back at home, she is already excited to meet you!).
Elena just nodded her head shyly.
Felix knew that her sister will be happy upon meeting Elena. They would likely be playing all day long...
Felix then focused on Tanya that is beside him.
"Hey, Tanya, still short huh."
"This height is just perfect for me for punching your stomach."
The two just looked at each other, smiled, swayed, and enjoyed the blues music that was playing....
