In Agibul, the capital of Magna Rumeli, the Sultan's screams of rage could be heard as the Pashas and Ministers were kneeling in front of him.
"Useless! All Useless! I should execute you all, for not being able to handle simple Rebels and a Mere Grand Duchy!" Osman VI shouted while pointing to each of the Pashas and Ministers present in the Imperial Palace.
Dacia was advancing overwhelmingly against the Rumeli, several cities were quickly falling to the Royal Dacian Army and the Rebel Cells who were joining the Dacian Banner whenever they saw Dacian troops arriving in their cities.
To stop the news involving Dacia's 100% Just Warfare, the Secret Service of the Royal Family was preventing War Journalists from showing the truth about Dacian War Tactics.
This was something proposed by Ferdinand à Johan, he knew that the truth about the "War Crimes" of the Dacian Army and the Rebels (who were executing Rumelis as real Death Squads) would come out someday, but he wanted it to come Post-Negotiations of Peace.
Even if probably the majority of the Population of the Countries of the Continent continued to support it (after all, in those times Religious Fanaticism was ''normal''), there would always be idiots who would use the Cloak of "Morality" and would talk about how what Dacia was doing was wrong.
So Ferdinand decided to play it safe, at least until Agibul and Jerusalem were taken, so any fool about the Cloak of Morality would be attacked by the Christian Fanatics, who would be ecstatic to see that not one, but TWO Holy Lands were freed from the Pagans.
"Be grateful that I still have use for you....but if you continue to fail me, YOUR HEADS WILL BE ON THE CENTRAL SQUARE OF AGIBUL" Osman VI shouted as he looked at the Pashas and Ministers, who nodded at the Sultan's words.
"Get out of my sight!" He ordered Osman VI angrily as he waved his hand saying they were dismissed.
The Pashas and Ministers quickly left, however, some went to an Estate of one of the Pashas in the Suburbs of Agibul to have a private meeting, along with some of the Ministers.
"Gentlemen...if you are here it is because everyone supports what I am saying....We are going to lose this war" Said Evrim Pasha, one of the Generals of the Rumeli High Command, while looking at the people who were in this private meeting, in the maximum about 9 People, with 7 being Pashas.
The Pashas and Ministers nodded with somber looks on their faces, some even sighing, knowing that the end of the Sultanate was near.
"We need to find a way to negotiate with the Dacian side" said Interior Minister Savun Neyzi as he adjusted his glasses.
"Yes...but for that to happen...the Sultan would have to be removed from power" said Umran Pasha, General of the Southern Defensive Forces.
"We will need to gather allies and forces, so when the time comes, we will launch a Coup against the Sultan" Evrim Pasha declared as he looked at everyone present, who nodded at hearing him.
It would take a while, but to ensure their lives, everyone there was willing to go against the Sultanate if it meant they could live, and the Pashas believed it was the only way for their Nation to survive.
Meanwhile, in the Dacian Capital Os.
Grand Duke Johan and the Dacian Military High Command were talking about some Naval Invasion plans for some Hellenic Islands.
"Your Majesty, the Dacian Navy is starting at this very moment a Naval Blockade of the Hellenic Isles, in addition to starting to attack all Rumeli Ships that come to guarantee Naval Supremacy in the Seas." Said Admiral Petru Calinescu while pointing to some islands in the Mediterranean Sea.
"Hmmm...well, when the time comes, the Dacian Royal Mages should receive support from the Navy so that they can destabilize the Rumeli Forces in the Hellenic Isles, to ensure a quicker takeover of the territories." declared Johan as he looked at Admiral Petru, who nodded upon hearing the Monarch's orders.
"Your Majesty, the way we are going, we can move forward and quickly take the Peloponnese Region, thanks to the Rebel Forces that are causing chaos in the Rumeli Supply Lines" Said one of the Generals of the Dacian Army, Dragos Cornea.
"Furthermore, Your Majesty, the forces of the Army of the North are already taking almost the entire Region, and may soon begin to march towards Constantinul" General Ionatan Boroi declared while pointing to a Chess Piece, which symbolized the Army of the North.
"Hmm...well, continue to focus on taking all of the North and securing our Positions, when they are stabilized, we can focus on taking Agibul." Johan declared as he sat in his chair and took out a Cabian Cigar to smoke.
Somewhere on the Battlefronts.
The Rumeli Troops were defending the City of Amenas tooth and nail, trying their best to defend the Positions they had and using Artillery against the Dacian Troops, who joined the Rebels in the City.
"This is Company 128-Olympus! The Rumeli Artillery is impeding our Advance, some Mages have also been sighted, we need Magical support, change!" An Officer shouted while using the Radio-Backpack of one of the Soldiers, both were crouched down to avoid being shot in the head.
"This is the 89th Sorcerer Battalion, we are currently having problems dealing with the Pagan Mages, we ask you to hold out as long as possible, over!" Shouted a rather robust male voice as explosions could be heard in the distance.
"Damn it! Diona!" He shouted the Officer in rage before calling out to his Second-in-Command.
"Yes, First Lieutenant!" Shouted the woman as she gripped her helmet tightly as she crouched low.
"Get the Flamethrowers!" The Officer shouted as he grabbed the revolver from his waistband and stood up to fire a few shots before crouching down again.
"Understood!" Diona as she quickly ran to call out the Flamethrower teams.
Soon several soldiers wearing Gas Masks and holding Flamethrowers were going amidst gunfire and Artillery Explosions.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Burn those Motherfuckers!" Shouted the Officer as he took his whistle and blew it, signaling all the troops who were taking cover to advance.
"For Dacia!" Shouted the Officer as he raised his Revolver and advanced with the others, some of the Soldiers died from shots in the head or by the explosions, but even so they continued advancing.
"AAAAAH, FLAMETHROWERS-" yelled a Rumeli before being burned alive by one of the Pyro-Troopers.
"BURN IN HOLY FIRE, HAHAHAHA" cackled one of the Pyro-Troopers before focusing on another Rumeli Soldier to burn.
==============================
AN: Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm sorry I haven't posted chapters in the last few days, I needed to get my head off for a while.
I came here to do a poll, involving a certain Loli Atheist, some wanted her in the MC's Harem, but I'll leave that poll to you Democracy lovers or haters.
Should she be part of the Harem?
YES
or
NO
If it is ''Yes'', should it be IN THE FUTURE, when both are Adults, Husband and Wife?
YES
or
NO
Remember something very important, Dacia is a Christian Nation, and as such Polygamy is frowned upon, so there will only be ONE wife, but he will have 2 Lovers, besides, if anyone worries the Fanfic will be destroyed because of the Harem idea, stay calm.
Unlike some Authors who make Women who have a ''Jade Beauty'' or any bullshit crap to fall in love with the MC, I like to develop the romantic part, having the ups and downs, not just make the MC get a girl for himself and say ''ok, it's over''.
Anyway, that's it, have a good day, a good afternoon, or a good night and stay with God.
