Chapter 18:
Previously on US forces in Eostia
Then Luke exit from the prison along with his friend "Hey pops and Uncle nice to see again" Said Luke in cheerful tone before giving a mock wince seeing the dead knight "Yeah that's the guy who bully the peasant" he said like he was pointing to his father to his bullies during high school
"And his dead Killed by me" Said Aaron in casual tone before looking back at the princess "We'll be leaving tomorrow princess, i suggest that we must agree to the terms in order to win this war"
Claudia frown but nod at that even Maia they will have no choice but to agree on his terms, no doubt that Celestine has likely made a decision when they return
"I'm sure Lady Celestine would agree to it" Said Claudia having known celestine for years now and how she acted earlier and being the one who invited them in the first place she will agree with such terms in order to reduce casualties even if they have to be a bit dirty while the Americans and Soviets will do mostly the deed
After all she washes her hands off due to the Black Dogs betrayal and brutality and degeneracy

Present
3 days later Ken
A day have passed as they have leave City of Ken, there leaving bruised Alicia along with her pride being wounded along death of her best knights and the mother of call scolded by Claudia honestly Alicia din't became the same after that scold from Claudia
Not only that Prim have declared that Alicia won't be her protector and regent much to Alicia's shock to hear that, Prim explain to her of her fears about Alicia because not only that she abuse her power she is also terribly naive when it comes to war and politics, and she's quite frank to her about the safety of her people and she doesn't no longer trusted her, she loves her cousin but she could no longer trust her for the safety of her people as well as her, No matter how Alicia tried to persuade her cousin that she can protect her, Prim told her the evidence she needs of not trusting her not her earlier action yesterday
Not only that, Prim won't be returning with Alicia as Prim would stay with her people at her city, and already preparing plans for evacuation as soon as Alicia was invaded she'll order the full retreat and do the Scortch Earth tactic as she agreed upon it
Claudia along with others just simply looking at Alicia they fear her city may fall within hours and not even a single day, which was for their part is what they hated, because they know that Vult will easily intimidated Alicia into opening her city hell at worse they believe there'ye won't needed to be a fight, simply bluff Alicia into opening the gate and they can conquer it
That is why as soon as Alicia's city was under siege there won't be any time, Prim must order her people to evacuate now, and she have already told them to be ready as soon as possible as when the day comes they will evacuate, the people love her and so there no protest and would gladly evacuate and even burn their crops after promising compensation
After returning back to Rad, they have finish building a large forge where they can finally able to build tank shells, though after examining and testing they can finally at least manage to build more high explosive shells albeit in lower quality compare to factory build ones
After that in day 3 they have return back to Ken for more strategy as there's not much of a battle apart from bandits that they pacify in the eastern side that which brought huge relief for the eastern side as they can now finally focus on the war effort fully contributing their resources on it
When they are Ken The US fleet still dock on their and they are ready to move as soon as they start their operation as they are making plans
War room
As they are talking Ronan was having another flashback when he first arrive in Great Britain in February 1942 where he is preparing their forces to move to Africa where he visit a dear friend and a strange 4 siblings

Flash back
Great Britan, Countryside
March 6 1942
Ronan arrive in Great Bretain for a preparation to be deployed in Africa Ronan insisted that any available force that is on decent training are ready to be deployed on Africa that which he was back up by other generals and the strongest of them is from George Patton about now it's the time to face Germany not long that they have studied how their battles fought
Especially the disaster the M3 Lee is, luckily M4 Shermans came 2 month later (I make it earlier) in the thousands ready to be ship on Africa with the crew fully trained to use it but M3 Lee does still outnumbered them but they have get of what they do, at least their Stuart Tanks do some damage against equal weights and even have some superiority in them what the german lacks
It takes time before they finally stop building M3 Lee(Grant) before factories finally starting pumping out Shermans, even the Bellezas vast number of factories doesn't get the blueprints as of yet
His family helping designing an heavy tank that which has yet to be built
Africa is getting stalemate and he wanted his forces to be ready as they have the troops and materials to be deployed since they have been trained for this coming campaign since after the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor
He was still fumed that they won't go to Japan since they have such a number of atrocity in Asia not only that Ronan wanting revenge of their cowardly unprovoked attack
But higher ups sees the Nazi as the bigger threat, he bid farewell to his younger brother and his fleet as he is deployed against the Japanese Empire with what ship they have gathered that is battle ready and not wasting much of them to the point making their country defenseless in the sea
Not only that, Ronan remembered the UFO in Los Angeles he may not be there but for God's sake do they have to waste such ammo without spotting an aircraft?
After that, the Entire country is fortified if by some miracle happened if the Axis indeed manage to drive them out then they will make sure taking main land America would be hell to pay with their blood
As he arrive there at the mansion he drive there with his jeep as next week would be their deployment to Africa and so he din't bother to even bring his car from States and he found the Jeep to be in his standard
He walk towards the door and knock on the door bell, the door open by an middle age woman she is Macready is the housekeeper of this mansion and she knows Ronan as Ronan have made some visits before including his Grandfather Chris, and Great-Grandfather Ronan both veterans of Civil war as well as knowing Kirk even his father Aaron knows Kirk
She looked surprise to see him "Mr Belleza you visit" She said before smiling
"Ms,Macready is the Professor Kirk here?" Said Ronan
Macready nod "Yes of course his here, please come in, he is with the other children" Said Macready
"Children? aren't they should be by the time return back to their parents or boarding school?" said Ronan
"Oh they are in boarding school or some of them only staying with their cousin Mr.Belleza come i'll escort you to Professor" Said Macready as she gesture Ronan to enter

Scene Change
With the 8 friends of Narnia
They are talking about their adventure in Narnia with Kirk being the first one of them before the others came, and sadly the one who have release Jadis from her sleep and he is still have remorse for that since not only she cause short but chaos in London before they go to Narnia
"professor someone is here to see you" Said Macready as they approach the room "His a friend"
"oh is he?" Said Kirk with a chuckle "Who would that be?" he ask
The Door open "It's the General Prof" Said Macready
Kirk turn around and Saw the towering form of Ronan "Oh Ronan my friend" Said Kirk as he stood from his chair
While the children all looked gasp upon seeing him, especially the youngest sister
Ronan looked at the children with curiosity
"Hello there" Said Ronan as he waved at the children before one of the girls suddenly stood up and hug him "oh... take it easy little lass" he said gently to the girl
"Thanks for coming for our country!" Said the girl happily... perhaps too happy for Ronan for the girl's happiness have a different meaning more than his country coming to help the war against the Nazis
"Lucy let the man go" Said Kirk as he chuckle "Please forgive this children, you know war and bombing here in Britain"
"Sorry" Said the girl name Lucy as remove herself from him
Though even after that, the children looked to him both in equal awe and fear he doesn't know why either his stature or perhaps they may have learn about his reputation as the mad lunatic which he gotten from his first taste in battle of the Marines first battle in World war 1
"Who are this children by the way?" Said Ronan
"oh well this four children here are siblings this is eldest to youngest Meet Peter, Susan, Edmound and as you know her Lucy this are the pevensie siblings" Said Kirk
"Hi" Said the siblings while the youngest cheerfully to him
Ronan his eyebrow "You aren't children of Capt.Edwards Pevensie aren't you?" Said Ronan
"Yes?" Said the 4 children little bit nervous
"Let me guess he told you about me?" Said Ronan in deadpanned expression
"Yes and how you beat him" Said Peter as he chuckled nervously
"Ah yes the day i beat the shit out of him thinking he command me and my marine brothers? not after he led his men to their deaths? give me a break, that fcker was lucky to have bruised face, discolated shoulder and arms and right leg, i should do mo----" Ronan stop from his yapping from the look of the youngest girl giving him the best puppy eyes an d he stop
"Well the rest of the children are, Eustass scrub"
"Whoever name you that is an idiot either of your parents" Said Ronan he found that kind of name idiotic
Eutace grimance at that, his mother was that kind of a bitch not that he blames the general
"And Jill pole" Said Kirk
"Hello General Belleza" Said Jill in a polite manner with a friendly smile
Ronan nod "And what are you people doing here? i doubt it would be some doing some school work" Said Ronan
"We're telling stories" Said Kirk with a smirk
"Ah yes let me guess Narnia" Said Ronan
With it everyone pick it up
"A bunch of stories that my Great-Grandfather, Grandfather, and Father told me about the tales of the fantasy land called Narnia" Said Ronan as he take a chair and place it besides kirk which was also next to Lucy as soon as Ronan sat the girl appeared to be somehow too clingy to him, though he shrugged it off thinking maybe the child just saw him some kind of a hero despite that he already told him in a casual way how he beat their dad
"So your great-grandfather would that be mean he is General Ronan Belleza of the Union army?" Said Susan
"Yes, it was the closing months of the civil war he told me about how he and his army of 250,000 men under his command was transport into this fantasy land of Narnia where he drive back the name white witch which he called white bitch" Said Ronan
The 4 siblings giggled at that especially the boy named Edmound for some reason there is a deeper meaning in his giggle
"Yes, not only he drive out the White Witch out" This time it's Kirk who speaks "He have return back 2 to 3 times along with his son Chris"
"And then my father also comes to Narnia and appeared to be married my mother who's name in Narnia is Swanwhite" Said Ronan
The children looked to him in surprise
"If your mother is swanwhite which is a queen of Narnia would that be mean you have a blood of royalty in you?" Said Jill pole
Ronan chuckled at that 'Dear we have a blood of nobles and Emperors before and it strectches back in the Stone age that's the earliest record my family have and then next would be from Troy in it's earliest foundation from it's walls construction and rewarded by the Greek god posiedon which would help them during the escape and forming of Rome then a long standing nobility in Britania after Rome's destruction to the present day of America" Said Ronan telling them about the history of his family
Well as far as he can tell of course, hell there's many subject of debates to his family since Troy have been proven to exist not only that his family are the ones who appeared to be confirmed to be the connection to the ancient kingdom of Troy.
Though his family doesn't know the full detail and if such myths was even real hell even Italians have a great respect to them after all some Belleza become an Emperor one of the greatest of their ruler as well as helping rome from it's earliest days shaping them to be an Empire
Even he was unsure of what's the truth and what's myth of it
"Then again Narnia is simply just a fairy tale, and if Aslan was in any indication he would be Jesus" Said Ronan in a matter of fact though he is religious man and only see Narnia as the fairy tale not the Bible
The people weirdly looked at him "What?"
"Nothing" Was everyone answer after they have looking at each other
"So how do you know Professor Kirk?" Said Susan
"let's just say my Great-Grandfather and Grandfather have visit Prof Kirk here, though he is maybe 11 years older than me by the time was 21 years old 3 years before my Great-Grandfather died in old age of 102 years old" Said Ronan with a sad smile
"Yes, General Ronan and your Grandfather are both great man, no matter of their action is, in the end freed millions who would be born as a slave, whatever the reason why they are chosen in the first place along with your father it was always to protect against the evil of the world" Said Kirk Ronan may not believe in Narnia but Kirk at least have a feeling that maybe just maybe he may as well transport to Narnia like his family and protect it and the last Belleza to have their is Aaron Belleza in the 1898 during spanish-American war that being said Aaron was not a fan at the American-Philippine war though in the end after his return from Narnia he was deployed their and done all he can to minimize either both casualties or to cause maximum to the enemy
Still it Shadders Kirk of the Bellezas, they have always been the generals of the Narnian army the way the Bellezas being transported whenever a future disaster would come
They traded stories as well as knowing Ronan and how he got his reputation and title though he was reluctant to tell them about war stories, for the all the children he found Edmound to be the most qualified when it comes to administration that which if he was old enough he would have take him to logistics if the war continues longer he may take Edmound
After that, Ronan who have been staying here for few hours he looked to his watch before standing "Well Kirk i'll be returning back to HQ i'll be meeting with the other Generals" Said Ronan
"You'll visit again?" Said Lucy with sweet eyes
"Er possibly yes, i'll be deployed in Africa next week" Said Ronan as he pat her head
"When i grow up i would like to marry you" Said Lucy with a giggle while her siblings and cousin sweat drop
"If i live of course and even then i don't want people have an negative opinion to me" Said Ronan as he rub her head before putting his sunglasses and leaves the mansion
After looking at his jeep moving away
"Christ, even without knowing us his intimidating" Said Eustace "I still remember he would beat my ass if i din't behave myself"
"Likely a well deserve spanking" Said Jill in a teasing tone
"This is 1942, he won't come to Narnia until 1945 after battle of the Ardense" Said Edmound "That man is a monster when it comes to military, Calorman suffered when that idiot Rabadash threatened both Susan and Lucy" he said "We should have let Ronan killed him in the first place and be the end of it, none of those soldiers would have to die in vain"
Everyone frowned that, it's true Ronan will go to Narnia during their 10th year reign of the Pevensie siblings, and Ronan's heritage being also son of a royalty would also cement his kingship that Ronan would be adamant deny
He will marry the youngest Pevensie when she was on age, and Aslan would do make Ronan as the Narnian's supreme commander of it's military that even he could overrule Peter and Edmound was mostly the 2nd as both are man of practical mindset and would not follow chivalry that Peter would follow that would Peter's endless frustration, though he have to admit one thing only, Ronan is way too superior of a commander than he will ever be, and he have way more experience than he could wish to accomplish, beating other generals of high caliber is not something to be scoff at
Something in Narnia will learn to fear his name From Jadis army to the Telmarines whom Peter and Ronan would almost clash to each other due to different mindset in war
Especially Calorman after Ronan learning about them being slavers he wanted to exterminate them. that which would have been successful after his counter invasion due to Rabadash's action, only the plead of his wife is the reason he stayed out but the damage has been done killing tens of thousands of calorman, it reminded the Pevensie sibling's the Bellezas rightuess wrath and how the confederate would feel during the Civil War
and then the Termarine though may not cause as much damage thanks to Caspian X peace treaty, Ronan propose for a guirilla warfare that was instantly back up by Edmound and Susan and Caspian although Peter wanted to go raid the castle and have Miraz to surrender but it was feasable at the moment, Lucy of course wanting to find Aslan many have little bit of faith of Aslan due to his absence though Ronan may not be too keen for Lucy, he have at the very have faith in Aslan for Lucy's safety, and their Guerilla warfare prove to be a success taking as much weapons and supplies from the Telmarines and at the same time reducing their numbers
A reason why he is also angered to the Telmarines is because of he and Lucy's decedents died the only would stop him is Narnia being too weakened to strike he'll settle it by their soldiers
And he have also returned back at the 3rd and 4th time but that is all
"Lucy he doesn't also knows you, just because his your husband in Narnia doesn't mean you can propose him right now" Said Peter as he shake his head
"Especially when he has yet to even know you" Susan
"So what? at least he saw it only as a child's fantasy, not until of course he goes to Narnia" Said Lucy with a pout
"Like Ronan said... well he doesn't want to be giving some negative especially his reputation you don't want to ruin your husband's reputation do you?" Said Jill giving Lucy a challenging look
Lucy sight "Fine... i'll be waiting when i'm legal adult" Said Lucy as she cross her arms

Flashback end
SNAP
Ronan blink as he looked at his brother
"You okay brother? it would seem that you are having some flashback or whatever" Said Aaron
"Just my visit to the Prof Kirk and the children" Said Ronan with a shrugged
Aaron shrugged "Said one of the children appeared to be clingy on you whenever you go to Prof Kirk's house?" Said Aaron
"Yeah" Said Ronan "But we are planning on strategy brother of how to quickly end this war" Said Ronan changing the topic
Everyone listen to him including the Eostians "as you Eostians know, we of the Allied forces will do most of the work while your forces would do a mop up operation or defend your cities in case they slip pass through us" Said Ronan
Claudia nod "Yes, we made an agreement with that and already making plans of our defenses and how we can reinforce each other if you are too far in the front to help us" Said Claudia
:Good" Said Ronan "While my brother would circle around as soon as the battlehips guns are in range and along with the fighters and bombers, though i believe they may still reach Feoth and Ur with his bombers and fighters" Said Ronan
"And since we know the distance between here and Garan i can safely say way reach the target within two days" Said Aaron after talking with the Eostian people about it's distance and the sea it's safe to say it would be a short travel after looking at the map when they are half-way they can send the bombers and fighters for a combined arms attack
"While Me and General Ronan our ground forces will blitzkrieg those son of bitches" Said Ivan with a grin
"When will your forces would move out?" Said Kaguya
"As soon as the bitch princess city falls and they are within Ur that's when we will attack where their forces are trap and without any supplies to replenish" Said Ronan
"Is that all?" Said Celestine
"Yes" Said Ronan
"Well then i hope this war would end General Belleza, i've seen death too much and i want end as soon as possible" Said Celestine there is a sadness in her tone a tired queen that want nothing but the end of the war she already have do everything she can, when the war should have end only to be bring another just as it end
