Alexander yawned as he got up from his bed. He stretched his arms above his head with a satisfied sigh. The first thing he did was check his watch on his wrist to see the time. He slept for two hours, a good nap and an important one as the Ruthenia Empire is dealing with a crisis in the Hanese Dynasty. The government is falling apart and four factions fight for supreme authority over the country. It was the biggest civil war up to date in this world and Alexander is not missing an action as he backed…-

The General of the Boxers besieging the International Legation Quarter glanced over his shoulder, looking at his brothers who were staring at him in anticipation. There are plenty of variables to consider here, should he give in to the demand of the Ruthenians, then the respect for his authority would plummet. The men behind him are hungry for revenge, fueled by their long grievances towards the foreigners. Letting them go when they have the chance to exact revenge is unforgivable and may resort to…

As the emergency meeting concluded, Makarov spurred out of the Britannian Legation and headed straight to the Beijing Wall where his men were located. They were firing at the Boxers' infantry with great accuracy and precision. Every bullet their guns spewed, took one Boxer's life. Even the Boxers who are hiding in the dark can't escape from Ruthenian bullets. It felt as though they were being chased down by it. "Sir, you arrived. How did the meeting go?" One of his men asked. "Everyone decided to leave…

The Special Forces of the Ruthenian Army have arrived to evacuate us and are helping the military guards as we speak." "Evacuate?" Claude's eyes raised as he stood from his seat. "Are you…

On the foggy night of the Yellow Sea, an Aircraft Carrier belonging to the Imperial Ruthenian Navy was sailing on the calm seas. On the flight deck, flight and deck crews spurred on as they fulfilled their respective task. One of them was a Wraith Pilot, Lieutenant Rasul Rustamev, who was enjoying the sea breeze kissing his face as he waited for his co-pilot, Lieutenant Medet Marlenev.

Forty-five minutes later, the Bogatyr arrived at Beijing's Airspace. Makarov ran a final brief to make sure that nothing would go wrong during the operation. "Thirty seconds!" the loadmaster inside the cargo bay shouted as he announced the time the plane will take to get to the drop point. Makarov nodded, acknowledging the time left for them to stay in Bogatyr. "The International Legation Quarter is under heavy attack from enemy artillery. We will call in an airstrike as soon as we land. Then, we…

"What? You can't contact Mikhail? Not even the other countries' legation?" Alexander's voice was raised reflexively after receiving the information. "Unfortunately, Your Majesty, it seems as though the Boxers have probably cut off their communication lines. Sergei was the last person in contact with Mikhail and he too was surprised when the line suddenly cut. Your Majesty, we have no way of reaching the International Legation Quarter until the special forces arrive in Beijing. But we can still see what's…

The conclusion of the meeting didn't go well on the Ruthenian side as they found themselves cornered like a rat. "That cunning bastard," Mikhail cursed under his breath as he walked down the hallway. His mind showed the image of Sir Claude who just forced them to make a decision by calling in the military to lend aid to the International Legation Quarter. He went straight to his office and found Denise on the phone. "Have you contacted them?" "Yes, Your Excellency. The Foreign Minister of the Ruthenia…
