CHAPTER 41: MEETING WITH NSC

In the bustling heart of Aegara, the temporary refuge and capital of Eldoria, President Elandria Felora convened an urgent meeting with the National Security Council (NSC). The gravity of the situation had drawn together the most critical figures in the nation's defense apparatus. As the sunlight filtered through the large windows of the conference room, it illuminated the faces of the individuals entrusted with safeguarding Eldoria.

Seated around the imposing wooden table were:

Minister Benedict Ashford of the Ministry of Defense and Security (MDS), his demeanor as rigid and disciplined as his military background suggested.General Edward Grey, Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of Eldoria (AFE), a seasoned strategist with a reputation for decisive action.Police General Gregory Dime, Chief of the National Police of Eldoria (NPE), a vigilant overseer of law enforcement with sharp, analytical eyes.Lieutenant General Valiant Nova, Capital Chief of the Remdant Capital Police (RCP), a figure of unwavering resolve.Commander Hugh Jackson of the Capital and Presidential Defense Coalition (CPDC), a man known for his unyielding loyalty and strategic mind.Commander General Eldon Montague of the National Guard of Eldoria (NGE), a stalwart protector of the nation's security.

President Felora began the meeting with a steady voice, "Thank you all for gathering here on such short notice. Our beloved Remdant City is under siege, and the threat posed by the Monarchist Loyalists led by Liam Valen cannot be underestimated. We must strategize our next moves carefully."

Minister Ashford spoke first, his tone grave. "Madam President, the AFE is ready for immediate deployment. However, our intelligence indicates that the Monarchist Forces have heavily fortified positions within the city. A full-scale assault could result in significant casualties."

General Grey nodded in agreement. "We need a plan that minimizes civilian harm while effectively neutralizing the enemy. Surgical strikes and coordinated actions with our special forces might be the best approach."

President Felora turned to Police General Dime. "Gregory, what can the NPE offer in terms of intelligence and coordination with local law enforcement?"

Dime replied, "Our undercover operatives within Remdant City have provided us with crucial intel on enemy positions and movements. We can coordinate with the RCP to ensure seamless communication and support."

Lieutenant General Nova added, "The RCP has already been conducting reconnaissance missions. We know the layout of the enemy's strongholds and have identified key figures within their ranks. Our priority is to protect civilians and avoid collateral damage."

Commander Jackson leaned forward, his expression determined. "The CPDC is prepared to launch evacuation efforts for any remaining civilians. We have secured safe zones in Aegar where they can be relocated temporarily."

Commander General Montague, ever the pragmatist, spoke next. "The NGE stands ready to support the AFE and the CPDC. We can provide additional manpower and logistical support to ensure the success of our operations."

President Felora listened intently, weighing each contribution. "Our primary objective is to retake Remdant City with minimal loss of life. We must also be mindful of the potential destruction of our newly built structures, which Liam Valen has threatened. Benedict, Edward, Gregory, Valiant, Hugh, and Eldon—your roles are pivotal in this operation. Coordination and communication are paramount."

She paused, looking each member in the eye. "We will devise a detailed plan that integrates all our resources. This is a critical moment for our republic. The people of Eldoria are counting on us to restore peace and order. Let's make sure we do not let them down."
