Chapter 32: Imperium and Jerusalem.

Ferdinand Pov

Everything was going according to Keikaku, our troops are advancing and will soon be able to reach Jerusalem, while in Anatolia the soldiers are advancing without any serious resistance, sometimes the Rumeli troops even surrender completely to the Dacian Army.

The Legionnaires and soldiers in the Prisoner of War Camps will be very busy for the next few days.

Anyway, my Father and my Grandfather, besides myself, we were all in my Father's office, they were talking about how Dacia would now stop being just a "Mere Grand Duchy", to finally become an Empire.

As we liberated Constantinul and soon we will also liberate Jerusalem, we had every right to become a "Third Romagna", as it is called here in this world, that was in my plans, and that's why most of the National Symbols that I created were intending to show how we reclaim the "Biantioum" legacy, which was the Byzantine Empire of this world.

This was something I discussed with my Father and Grandfather, and they agreed, it would bring so much Prestige to our Noble House, that it would cease to be a Grand Ducal House and become an Imperial Family by the Right of Conquest of Constantinul.

"No Father, that name would not be very good for Dacia" Said my Father to my Grandfather, we had been in this conversation for over 20 Minutes, just to decide on a name.

"Father...if I may suggest a name" I said as I raised my hand, which made my Father and Grandfather focus on me.

"Do you have a name, Ferdinand?" my Father asked me with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes, why don't we just use Latin to name our country? We could be called 'Imperium Daciae', what do you think?" I ask as I look at the two extremely seriously.

"Hmmm....that's a really nice name" Said my Father while having a hand on his chin.

My Grandfather nodded, by the looks of it he agrees with that name for our Dacian Empire, he must have seen that it is not only a beautiful name, but also shows how much we claim the Biantoum Legacy and the right to be called "Third Romagna".

"If we claim the Biantoum Legacy, then I think we are entitled to take the title of 'Caesar' or rather 'Cezar', correct Father?" I ask my Father as I focus my attention on him.

"Hmmm...yes, I completely agree, if the Russy Imperial Family could carry the title of 'Tsar' and the Empire had their 'Kaiser', then I guess we can carry the title of Cezar" My Father replied after thinking a little bit about it, then nods in agreement.

With that, the matter involving the name of the future Empire or rather Imperium, which I will inherit in the future, is finally over, now we just have to have a new flag, this part was not difficult, but it would have to have the Main Elements: The Double-Headed Eagle and the Purple Background.

20 kilometers from Jerusalem, the Armored and Magical Forces of the future Imperium Daciae were advancing at full speed, with the Armored and Magical Forces being fully motivated for the battle to come.

"Finally...we are coming to liberate the Holy Land" Said a Dacian soldier while he was in one of the trucks that were transporting the troops.

"Yes, just a little more, and soon we can have another Holy Land freed from the Pagans, finally ending our Crusade" Said an Officer who was sitting next to the Dacian Soldier, with her smoking her cigarette.

"Want a cigarette?" Asked the Officer as she offered a cigarette from her box, which the Soldier accepted.

In the sky, the future Dacian Imperial Mages were flying at full speed towards Jerusalem, gripping their Magic Rifles tightly and with determined looks on their faces.

"Attention all Companies! Our Mission is the same as always, to destroy the Vital Points and the Rumeli Garrison, however, unlike other Cities, we are limited with how much we can destroy! We can only destroy the Rumeli Garrison and the really Vital Points, all the rest of our dear Jerusalem must be kept intact! Do I understand?!" asked a female Mage as she spoke through the Magical Communicator, soon receiving an "Understood" from all the Companies.

"Well...let's end this War and bring Glory to the Fatherland! Hail Dacia!" Shouted the Mage while increasing the speed of her magic equipment, wanting to go with everything to Jerusalem, the other mages soon followed her.

In Jerusalem, things were a little quiet, the Rumeli Troops were the majority in the Garrison, but several Soldiers were patrolling the city with seriousness and caution, because of the way Dacia was advancing, this was worrying everyone.

The Revolutionaries were dealing with the last Pashas that were considered a problem for them in the future, the entire Revolutionary Leadership decided to end the Sultanate and create a Republic, that is of course if anything is left of Magna Rumeli.

Because of the decisions of Sultan Osman VI, the Massacres involving the Arbemanians were shown around the world thanks to some Foreign War Journalists, who somehow managed to reach the Cities where the Arbemanians were.

This meant that their position in the Peace Conference was totally low, while they were waiting for help from the other Powers so that the treaty wasn't totally hard on them, now they were in serious trouble and could be at the mercy of Dacia in the Conference.

They are sure that in the end, Magna Rumeli and the Turkman Principalities would cease to exist and new countries would be born, with the Rumeli Legacy utterly destroyed.

The Dacian Mages, who were at full speed finally arrived in Jerusalem, with them hovering in the skies over the City, all of them with a cold and serious look as they looked at the city.

"Ladies and Gentlemen...Today is the moment we make history: The Day the Holy Land is finally liberated!" Said a Male Magician seriously through his Magic Communicator.

"When we liberate Jerusalem, our Crusade will end and with it, we will return Home hailed as Heroes and Liberators!" The Wizard continued this time putting more passion into his little motivational speech.

"As such, I am proud to issue the order: Destroy the Pagans and bring back Jerusalem to the Arms of God! HAIL DACIA" Shouted the Mage at the end before holding his Magic Rifle and aiming it at the Rumeli Garrison.

"All 2nd and 7th Companies! Prepare Explosive Magic against the Targets! The rest of the 10 Companies, prepare Penetration Spells against the Rumeli Troops!" A Female Mage as she puts Magic into her Magic Rifle.

"Ready...Aim...FIRE" The Male Mage who was giving the speech shouted before squeezing the trigger, thus sending Explosive Magic against the Rumeli Garrison.

With that, the Rumeli Garrison soon became a mess of Explosions, one bigger than the other suddenly appearing, with that also comes the scream of the Civilians who were caught in the explosion or witnessed it, starting a Domino effect.

As the Dacian Mages began to massacre the Rumeli Soldiers, the Armored Troops and Dacian Infantry were finally arriving, with a steely determination to liberate the City.

The Rumeli Soldiers tried everything they could to fight back against the Dacian Soldiers, but in the end, it only brought their defeat, with most surrendering, but there were still some who were willing to die fighting, which the Dacians didn't care about, after all, they only meant more "Target Training Dummy" to them.

Thus, Jerusalem, the Holy Land of the World, which was like Constantinul, centuries under Rumeli's rule, was finally returning to the Arms of Christianity.
