"It was in this meeting that the fate of thousands of nobles and soldiers of Sadera were sealed." The engineer in his memoirs.

This chapter gets dark.

Falmart. Clarks apartment. 5 am. December 26th. 1 AEE.

I woke up to some snoring and found a naked Uriel still sleeping on my chest peacefully snoring. I was confused at first but then I quickly remembered what we had done. I gently wrapped one of my arms around her and looked up at the roof.

Around me our clothes and even my eyepatch had been tossed to the side of the bed, another reminder of the quality time I had spent with her last night.

Christmas Day had been beyond shitty yes but it had ended on a high note at least. Jesus Christ she looks so adorable on my chest with her one arm wrapped tightly around me tightly. My "quality" time with her last night felt very fulfilling and incredible. Me being intimate with her helped my sleep a lot.

I had no nightmares for the first time and I slept peacefully. I was going to attempt to get out of bed for coffee but she held on to me strongly and mumbled "stay." I didn't want to deny her wishes so I stayed like this with her for an hour.

I gently ruffled her red hair and she purred in content. I assumed she must have been even half asleep. I had a meeting at 9 which I would have to get to but staying here for another hour wouldn't hurt. It made me feel at peace.

She woke up soon enough. "Now look who's awake." I joked playfully. They murmured a bit before getting off me. "I can't stay on you forever if you have a meeting or something like that. However if I could I would definitely stay like we had been." She flirted. I gently kissed her head. "I would have enjoyed that very much." I said before getting dressed.

"Coke back home early love I would like to spend more time with you," she flirted some more. My cheeks went pink. She was already calling me love. Was this a dream? "Sure thing dear." I flirted back. "That's the spirit." She said supportively.

"I'm sure one day you'll become as good at flirting as me if you keep up." She continued. "Though you weren't half bad in bed." She said playfully poking me as I got dressed. "I'm glad you liked my performance though I wouldn't mind taking you on an official date somewhere when I have the chance." I said as I finished dressing myself and looked for a bag of coffee.

"A date would be nice by the way, get me some coffee as well." She said getting up and getting dressed herself. "I'll get you your precious coffee." I said jokingly. Uriel's coffee addiction had only grown and had already added to her usual energetic personality. Though she was also quite energetic in bed if I dare say.

Our fun time had been easier than expected since I did expect some difficulty since she did have one arm.

"Also I wouldn't mind our date being us fighting side by side in one of your organizations combat operations." She said, "You really want to kill someone don't you." I sighed. "By someone you mean the Saderan pigs. Look if I survived a dragon what harm can a legate do." She said annoyed. "Sorry for being protective of my girlfriend." I said sarcastically.

"Aww you're worried for me." She teased. "Well of course I'd be." I said as I made coffee for the both of us. She then hugged me tightly. "Good, it shows that you care." She said switching her tone from a playful one to a sweet one. She stayed hugging me while I made coffee which was something I didn't mind.

I patted her head with one arm while making coffee with the other. "You know I can get you a robotic arm if you wish of course." I said as I finished making the coffee and handing a mug to her. "You're too kind, you know that." She said as she drank her coffee with her one arm. "I wouldn't go that far but I certainly treat you better than most. I joked.

"Your performance in bed made that very clear to me." She joked my face went slightly red but I enjoyed her teases way too much and rolled with it. "What am I going to do with you." I joked. "Marry me." She joked. "Maybe in the future." I said as I looked at the time as I drank coffee.

"Well I'll be going now so don't cause a mess while I'm gone." I said, sighing. I wished could stay with her but I had a fucking job to do and the fucking Saderans had ripped my leave from my hands. "I'm not a child." She joked as I walked away.

"True." I said before closing the door and leaving.

Falmart. GOI HQ. 9 am. December 26th. 1 AEE.

The engineer had noticed changes in Clark since Christmas. One he was slightly happier than usual today and second he was gaining Influence. He had already swayed the UIU and the of ORIA to his said by befriending them which crippled any influence he or the insurgency had in matters.

The insurgency failing to protect the HQ and having to implement protocol dead nest to save it and The GOC Clark's organization being the ones to retake the HQ lead to the Engineer being completely and utterly sidelined by the council that had now formed of the leader of the GOIs the attack on the HQ had been costly for the staff and the insurgency.

While 695 of the original 700 attackers had been killed.

13 insurgency agents, 24 security guards, and 58 members of the regular staff had been killed in an attack more costly than the recent bunny attack on the dwarven embassy.

With things going how they were, Clark and the GOC now had full control of military matters while he had also done a power move by funding the UIU and of course making them do what they were beat at. Tracking down and eliminating enemies of the state such as the warrior bunny Guerillas.

The insurgency which had originally been in charge of infiltration missions found themselves in direct competition with the UIU for this role.The GRU P largely stayed on the sidelines until Clark offered the organization to be the shock troopers of the army which they accepted leading to Clark inviting them on his military matters.

Either way the GOC had only gained more power and influence thanks to the attacks and the insurgency had gone from the powerhouse of strength and influence it was in the early days of humanities resettlement to having lost most of their influence in just several days.

Clark however showed no signs of having a slight notion of how he pretty much ripped the chaos insurgency's influence from under them and was too busy coordinating his revenge plans. The insurgency needed to find a way to tip the scales or end up like the church who had been official sidelined by this point.

Either way the engineer threw out his internal thinking to start the meeting off. "So I assume your little operation is a go Clark." The engineer addressed him as the other GOI leaders took their respective seats. "Yup operation rolling thunder is a go also i'd like to ask what is the status of our frontline with the empire currently. I assume they're still advancing." Clark said as he looked over at the map of Falmart at the center of the table.

"Yes they have thought our victory at hill 3234 has opened the way to Italica. Now while this was definitely a major success Narna had recently fallen though we still have some of our guys in the city currently acting as pockets of resistance against the empire. All of our border settlements have fallen though we should recapture them once our counter attack begins." Said Agent Ulysses head of the UIU as he read through a report.

"Question? Are our targets military or civilian." Asked Mehdi Bazargan (Chairman of ORIA).

"Both. Operation Rolling Thunder's main goal is to break the average Saderan. That's why we are giving our pilots free rein to bomb what they choose. Some may bomb military targets, other civilians, heck why not bomb a forest to terrify the locals as well. We need to show these arrogant fuckers who the real monster is. The only target area we aren't allowed to bomb is the Italica province and the Alnus province due to the fact the gate is in that general area and we don't want to start a war with whoever comes out do the gate unless they are the foundation or some creatures from hell since our goal is the protection of humanity." Clark said coldly.

"The imperial force that was sent through the gate hasn't returned so I think we know they've been killed off." Said captain Boris Medved(leader of GRU P) in his Russian accent. "That is most likely true. Now for a different topic. How are we going to carve up the empire once we've broken it." Said the engineer grinning.

"We should annex a fair chunk of the western portion and maybe some of the north. Also would make sure to financially cripple them so they can't fund another war." Clark said making a rough new border for the GOIs on their map with a pencil. The engineer began to think about how much wealth the empire had. They had alot of course but how much would they need to take to cripple them.

"I'd like to suggest something." Said Clark as his face went dark. "That would be?" asked the Engineer, raising an eyebrow. "The empire's army is made up of mass murderers, rapists, and vile people in general. The king and his family mustn't be too different if they act so recklessly and inhumane. I suggest we purge the empires army and bureaucracy when we win." Said Clark.

"And how do you intend to do this?" Said Robert who hadn't spoken much the entire meeting.

"Concentration camps and mass executions." Is all that came out of Clark's mouth.

The room went silent. "Are you fucking insane!" Shouted the engineer.

"Oh give it a break the fuckers deserve it. Those fat pigs haven't done a single day of work in their life. Send them to camps where they'll be forced to work endlessly and die out slowly. We've been pushed around by the world too much. You all know it. If we want to put a true end to the empire you have to kill the source of the problem, it's army of rapists and the nobles. This isn't some Nazi ethnic cleansing bullshit, this is the cleansing of an evil system. I'm sure all those slaves in the empire would agree with me." Clark ranted.

"You're dead set on this aren't you." Said Robert coldly. "Yes if we have to become monsters to survive then we will. Also I plan on setting up a new country out of all the northern land the empire has. This country will be made up of the freed slaves and Demi humans." Clark said.

"I agree with you on setting up a republic of freed slaves and Demi's but what you're planning is the Genocide of an entire class and army." Said the Engineer. He could have never expected a suggestion so brutal and inhumane to put an end to the empire. "And what of the common people." Asked Ulysses.

"They'll be spared and humanitarian efforts will begin to improve conditions in the small villages that dot the empire. The people of Sadera have nothing to lose but their chains." Said Clark passionately.

"Do any of you agree with this madman?" the engineer nervously. "His plans to put an end to the cruelty of the empire cross what we would consider morals but as long as no civilian's are caught up in the purge I support his plan." Said Ulysses. "Agreed." Said Medved and Mehdi. The engineer looked dumbfounded at the two. "By the way as we agreed, GRU P will spearhead the efforts to retake Narna." Said Clark to Medved who nodded.

The meeting ended there and then. All the leaders got up and left. The engineer couldn't believe what just happened.

All he would ask is why?

Sorry for this part being a bit short I was busy with other things.
