Robert POV
I received a report of a huge army coming to both of our empires, the Florien emperor came himself offering peace, I hesitated until I received a report of huge unrest in the infernal realm and massive strike started in the blacksmiths and even stealing magic artifacts and what’s worse things are going out of control with 50 million fallen angels joining the rebellious workers.
“Sir I have to report that our scouts saw the fallen angel rebels training the workers on how to use magic of the fallen angels, Lucifer is losing control over the situation moreover everywhere in the entire empire started to know about our secret war and how we exterminated clans and tribes who refused to join us. The rebel’s demands that the tyrannical regime that is us must be overthrown and they demand your head”.
The emperor of Floria was shocked and said with a mocking tone:<< it seems you built an empire without a proper foundation because your wars have depleted the empire’s magical energy and resources especially food that is supplied for your army, hahah well that army is a parasite and is a very nasty one>> .
Revolts began to spread everywhere inside the huge territory of the empire with many fallen angels rebelling against the empire and even half of the current angel armies rebelled and demanded a stop of wars and genocides, the rebels declared the Olympian republic signaling the start of a civil war that would be a revolution. In the infernal realm of the empire, Lucifer barely saved his headquarters from rebel forces and started to go on the offensive moreover he killed the leader of the rebel fallen angel leader Matheus after a fierce battle which forced Lucifer to use his full power and was on the process of routing the rebel forces, slaughtering them. Meanwhile things were going nasty on the battles against the rebellion army for Raphael after they resorted to partisan warfare killing a lot of his troops forcing him to use his divine magic annihilating the entire enemy forces but killing 12 thousand citizens, so far the rebellion leadership is holding the south of the empire and the north western part of the Xian continent while the empire is holding the colony of new Olympus in the continent of terraria. Michael’s armies were conquering the rest of the rebels territories and capturing their soldiers after a brutal fight with magic and sword, later the emperor ordered the use of destructive power on rebel military positions alone while sneaking the civilians out of the city at night. Michael was happy that his son didn’t resort to genocidal ways to solve the war and he said: << Finally he realized his mistakes and hopefully he handles the rebellion very well>>. A new imperial order came and it states that all loyal people to the empire and use their magic for the emperor will be rewarded and humans will be allowed in the army, this made all army commander notice many non-celestial creatures like humans and elves join the army and even 14 divisions of rebel troops deserted the rebel armies and joined the imperial army, this increased both the morals and the power of the army resulting with the imperial victory at the war of corinthia which left non-of the enemy garrisons alive capturing the former demon empire, suddenly a revolt in the rebel territory starts and it’s defeating the rebel forces, this new faction calls themselves the pacifists and an another revolt begun in the empire’s territory named the green army’s revolution, calling for the end of food confiscation by the imperial army to supply the newly formed non celestial army, emperor Robert dispatched 12 thousand troops under Gabriel to deal with the revolt but they were defeated by the rebel’s brilliant use of magic traps and powerful light spells which made the celestial troops lose their sight temporarily so they decided to retreat, Lucifer’s armies defeated the rebels in the infernal realm of the empire and executed its leadership. Later Azazel decided to help the emperor putting down the green revolution by using the dragons to start massive air attacks in arianoples city; the civilians were evacuated in secret and the city was bombarded till it was leveled to the ground, the surviving rebel troops tried to make an offensive against Azazel’s troops but were crushed finally ending the rebellion in the eastern part of the empire.
Robert POV
I was happy to receive reports from Azazel that the green army has been crushed and I told Gabriel :<< we have 100 million troops created from the Garden of Eden that I will give you its command, now go and take over the south west territory of the rebels and the targeted big cities are Saratov, Morningstar that city carries my surname so take it at all costs and finally you must take Remington city as for Nusantra city they stayed loyal to us and resisted the rebels horrifying siege, they will be awarded later now go and don’t fail me again>>. Gabriel bowed his head and promised that he shall bring victory for the empire.
As Gabriel left for the conquest of these three cities, the rebels continued the siege of Nusantra but failed to breach its walls or get their troops inside the city so they decided to starve the city’s population by cutting off the supply roots of the city, they built walls through creation magic cutting the city’s route of supplies. Gabriel heard of the disaster from a guy who escaped Nusantra so he decided to hurry up and take south west of the continent, in the first siege Gabriel instructed the angels to go for air attacks, the fallen angels who rebelled did the same thing but were defeated by the army of Gabriel with some of them deserting the rebels army to join the imperial army, they told all the useful information on rebels army positions inside the city which made it easy for Gabriel’s troops to take the city really easy after a one sided battle, the rebel governor got executed for treason and we raised the imperial flag in the city. Gabriel decided to leave 10 million troops to garrison the city and decided to go for Morningstar city, he was surprised to find the city’s doors opened and when he entered the rebel troops ambushed his army and a fierce battle started, it was a battle of attrition, after hours of fighting his army defeated the enemy after losing 1 million soldiers due to the anti-air magical defense system, we raised the imperial flag in the city, Gabriel Knew that Remington will be full of defenses so he used his divine form and instructed the angels to use their forms, Gabriel and his troops began attacking the city with powerful spells finally shattering the protective shield alongside the city’s fortifications including its walls, he ordered the army to return to their base form and split it in half and told it them to attack from air and ground, the attack began and the enemy troops were surprised by the air attack that they immediately surrendered and dropped their weapons, they even guided Gabriel to their leader and one of them killed him, Gabriel said: << all those who return to the side of the empire will be awarded and will be integrated to the army>>. Gabriel sent a letter to the emperor stating that the pacifist faction will be dangerous we will face the new invading army, after few days a messenger from the emperor came with an order to negotiate with the pacifist faction and reach a compromise with them. Few days later Gabriel reached the city of Orianonpole, he told the pacifist faction troops that the imperial regime is coming for negotiation with their leader.

Gabriel POV
I entered the city and a soldier guided me to a tavern, I heard cool music and pretty women with a blonde hair came to me.
“Hello my name is Rose Wilson and I ‘am a human and a leader of the pacifist faction”
“This doesn’t sound pacifist”. I turned my head and saw a lot of troops heavily armed and mages preparing for a war.
“We don’t start fights but when a war comes to us we defend ourselves now speak what that emperor in Eden wants”
“We want an end to this civil war, you may not like it but there is another army is coming for us”
“I thought the Florien army is fighting them, oh and if they lose we are in danger”
“Finally we reach an agreement, the emperor promises that this war will be a defensive war and also are you a virgin?”
She blushed at the words and said: << I agree to your offer but why do you ask? >>
“The thing is that his son is quite handsome but he is facing difficulties when it comes to relationship”.
I invited her to the empire’s capital but she said before she left: << I will never abandon my men and I will protect them till my final breath>>. I laughed and I assured her that the emperor is not an idiot to harm her men.
“Wow I never heard a soldier calling his king an idiot”
“ hahaha, you will be surprised when you find out that the emperor have a rule that allows his servants to do whatever they want as long as it doesn’t harm the empire so be careful of drunk nobles and you will probably see a lot of weird things in the imperial palace that normally doesn’t happen in any royal palace”. I instructed the imperial troops to raise the imperial flag on the city’s walls and I sent one of the soldiers to fly to the imperial palace telling him that I invited the leader of the pacifist faction to his palace. The messenger left and I told Rose: << you probably are curious about how did the empire became very massive, well the emperor wanted to unify the world under his rule in order to eliminate the need for war but I guess he failed>>.
“You can’t eliminate wars but what is needed is to be on the defensive that’s all”.
Robert POV
I received Gabriel’s message about our guests, I told my son to stop playing with his sword and prepare proper clothing while I told the maids of the palace to clear the palace of any dirt after our big celebration, and I left the palace to take a walk around the capital, I saw a bard playing music with his loot so I decided to go talk to him : << hello Bard would you like to sing at the imperial palace? >> . He was surprised and answered: << yes I would gladly to do that but my lord, the empire is still unstable and it is too early to celebrate>>.
I was surprised that he saw through my disguise and I told him to come now. We came to the imperial palace and we saw Gabriel and a woman who introduced herself as the pacifist faction leader. I told her the plan to finish the rebels by attacking the capital with poison magic, she was shocked and asked: << what about the civilians please don’t tell me you are planning to poison the civilians? >>. I told her: << you are going to sneak inside enemy lines with my son and rescue every citizen there and I hope that won’t happen again>>. She was curious about what I meant but Gabriel understood what I meant. I told my son about the mission and I introduced him to his new partner and I dismissed them both, I turned my attention to Gabriel and said: << how many times do I have to tell you all not to act on your own? You could have caused a disaster>>.
“But it was very fruitful my lord you can’t deny that”.
Alexander Morningstar POV
I left with Rose for the city of Palmyra the capital of the rebellion at night and I told all the civilians there to leave but they refused so Rose decided to use mind control magic and told them to follow us, I was in the while Rose was in the group to make sure her mind control magic doesn’t fail, we finally reached the walls and I killed the guards silently, I opened up the door and we left just in time before the army of the rebels came as reinforcement.
Emperor Robert Morningstar took 12 million troops with him to the city Palmyra, arriving after Alex and Rose left, the rebels reinforced their capital with almost their entire army abandoning their entire territory, Michael realized their mistake and orders an army of 50 thousand troops to march on those unprotected cities leaving Palmyra under rebel control.
Robert ordered the mages to start firing fire balls at the walls nonstop, the rebels responded with catapult fire but missed its target, I casted “light magic, divine punishment sword ”. a light sword came from the sky and hit the entire city walls blowing it up, several rebel troops were killed, Robert ordered his troops to attack the city the troops entered the city with no resistance at the beginning but they were ambushed by 3 thousand rebel troops, a brutal battle started and despite the imperial army’s numerical advantage they were pushed back outside of the destroyed wall, Robert ordered another attack and the rebel army commander Yaakov ordered his entire army to attack the imperial army, a brutal battle started and it was an utter chaos with everybody slaughtering each other, Robert had a surprise trick and started resurrecting the dead troops, seeing the dead troops resurrected the rebel commander killed himself leaving his army alone, after the loss of their commander and faction leader, the rebel troops surrender and they were detained by the imperial army, after this battle the civil war ended with the empire’s victory but it was a decimating war with many needed workers killed in the war.
Robert POV
I ordered the army to return to their headquarters and I returned to the imperial palace, I saw the bard and I told him to play with the music group I prepared for him, he was happy and started to play music while I invited the commanders of the war to award them with promotions: << All the archangels that commanded the imperial army to end this brutal war will be awarded the rank of a high arch angel, Alex and Rose they are amazing oh and Rose can you be Alex’s partner, he might need help>>. She gladly accepted the request and she danced with my son while I danced with my wife. The celebrations continued until the Florien king came and he was heavily injured, he said: << we beg your help, that army is too powerful>>. He fell unconscious, I ordered to continue the celebration and I told Raphael to prepare for a new and final war.
