Just like every day before the war, Alexander was cooped up in his office, working on a pile of documents stacked on his table. Ministerial reports and casualty reports of the war took almost half of the document. "Just how many young men would have to die because of the stupidity of the Black Hand?" Alexander muttered under his breath, his voice weak as if it doesn't have vitality in them. Alexander ordered an operation to take out all of the Black Hand executives operating in the countries at war with…-

Two days later, the President of the United States, William Dudley Perrey arrived at Washington D.C and headed towards the White House with his personal car. Looking out of the window, he saw the hallowed ruins of the aftermath of the Ruthenian Empire nuclear bomb. A bomb so powerful that it flattened the city of Washington. There was dust and motes floating in the air, swaying back and forth against the wind. The sky was dark and gloomy as if William just entered an undiscovered land. The city was full…

"So, this is all the list of the people affiliated with the Black Hand? Including the executives?" Alexander asked after reading the note filled with names while looking at Anne who was still wiping off her tears. "Yes," Anne confirmed. "Since the Congress has been destroyed, where most members are associated with Black Hand, except the President, which you confirmed you haven't killed yet, those people on the list are the only remaining officials of the Black Hand. Just as you said, we are like ants, we…

It took Diana two minutes to calm herself down and composed herself after the emotional breakdown that possessed her to something that she wouldn't normally do. Alexander found her action to be understandable. If the person who killed his parents is sitting across from him, he too would lose his rationality and begin attacking them in a way unimaginable. Anne was an executive member of the Black Hand, which would make her an accomplice to the death of Alexander's parents. If not for his state of…

After having his final conversation with Sevastian, Alexander briefly went to the Command Ops to get an update on the war situation. As expected, it was the same, a stalemate. Even though the Ruthenia Empire is dominating the field, their lack of personnel couldn't capitalize on their victory. They are stretched out, forming a defensive line against an invasion. They could have gone on for the kill, but going in would mean making an opening for an enemy to move by encircling the army. Even with their…

Alexander's speech was broadcasted nationwide and internationally. After declaring his ultimatum to the countries who are at war with Ruthenia, an empire that is the sole user of nuclear weapons, that should they continue their war efforts against them, they'll meet the same fate as the United States did. One of the people watching the broadcast was Erik Jan Hanussen, the Prime Minister of the Deutschland Empire. His hands clenched into a fist to the degree it was shivering and making the glass of his…

Alexander immediately headed to the Imperial Council Building to make a statement about the use of a nuclear weapon on the capital city of the United States. The people of Ruthenian would surely demand an answer as to why he ordered such a call by dropping a bomb that kills tens of thousands in an instant. Some would view it inhumane and cruel, but this is a war against the Black Hand, the only way for the world to gain peace, which the Black Hand continuously disrupts, is to make your hands dirty as…

"Your Majesty, are you serious? Are you really launching it?" Alexei asked, wanting to get clarification. He had heard the emperor clearly, but it was a sudden order that he couldn't process fast. "I don't like repeating myself, Alexei. I want it done right now. Strike the heart of the Black Hand so that they'll never get to live another day ever. The Black Hands have been nothing but trouble for me since I ascended to the throne. I have made a promise that I will put them down in the administration and I…

"How much did you tell the Black Hand?" Alexander asked. "Tell what?" Sevastian inquired. "Don't play the fool with me, Sevastian. You are a traitor who could have possibly leaked intel to the Black Hand, didn't you?" "If you are talking about if I leaked classified information about Ruthenia military technology then you are wrong. Who do you think I am, a fool? Why would I give the Black Hand something that can be potentially used to destroy the Ruthenia Empire?" Sevastian said. "My goal was to become…

After having breakfast with his family, Alexander was escorted back to the Command Ops where he will continue his duty as the commander-in-chief of the country at war. Arriving at the Command Ops was the same gesture that staffers had been doing every time he came. Truthfully told, he was getting bored of it, and too lazy to remind them that they don't have to do that gesture. He knew that he'll always get the same response. "So, how's the extraction progressing?" Alexander promptly asked the moment he…
