Reincarnated with the Country System

The sky was shaking with the roar of engines.

Several helicopters of the Bernard Empire were flying over the endless greenery of Amazonia.

The helicopters were adorned with the proud symbol of the Bernard Empire—an eagle with a sword in its beak, its wings fully extended, as if symbolizing absolute dominance.

Beneath them spread out a vast jungle, dense and impenetrable.

Inside the helicopters, the Imperial Army soldiers sat in orderly silence.

Each had the Imperial symbol emblazoned on their chests. Among the soldiers here were both experienced and inexperienced soldiers. If one looked at their clothes, one could tell who was experienced and who was inexperienced.

Regardless of rank, experience was recognized through their badges.

Veteran soldiers wore a silver eagle insignia, awarded only to those who had participated in direct combat and claimed confirmed kills in service to the Empire. It was a recognition of their past victories and experience.

They also had stripes on their shoulder indicating the number of years of service (e.g. five stripes for five years of service). Although even the oldest soldiers here only have two stripes on their shoulders.

New or inexperienced soldiers also have badges on their uniforms, but they are simple iron badges, with only the imperial emblem engraved on them. There is no additional decoration or colour, indicating that they are not yet proven in battle.

......

After the Kingdom of Latvia lost the war to the Bernard Empire, the Latvian forces in Amazonia also surrendered to them. However, they were still searching here, so that they could be sure that they had captured all the Latvian soldiers here.

Captain Roland surveyed the land below with a hunter's gaze

The radio crackled.

"Falcon One to Falcon Lead, no movement detected in Sector 4B. All clear."

"Falcon Three to Falcon Lead, confirming no heat signatures in our assigned zone. Proceeding to the next sector."

"Keep scanning, The Emperor's enemies do not vanish. They hide, waiting for weakness. We will not give them the luxury of hope."

His second-in-command, Lieutenant Huxley, adjusted his headset, a grim smirk tugging at his scarred face. "It always ends like this, doesn't it? Hunting down the stragglers. Like rats scurrying from a burning city."

Roland did not return the smile. "Rats can spread disease if left unchecked. We exterminate them now, or they return to gnaw at the Empire's walls."

Huxley nodded.

As the helicopter headed toward the next sector, a heavy, commanding voice came over the radio.

"Alright, boys. Time for a song."

A familiar rhythm filled the airwaves, and the speakers in each helicopter came alive with the sounds of a war song—one that every soldier of the Bernard Empire knew by heart.

★★★

"March of the Iron Sons"

Steel wings cut through storm and fire,

The Emperor's wrath shall not expire.

We march with thunder, unbowed, unchained,

By sword and blood, His law remains.

We are the Emperor's chosen might,

His iron sons forged in a fight.

No foe can stand, no traitor hide,

In His name, we burn their pride.

Cowards whisper in the trees,

They think they fight, they think they're free.

But Judgment flies on wings of steel,

And in the dark, their fates are sealed.

We are the Emperor's chosen might,

His iron sons forged in a fight.

No foe can stand, no traitor hide,

In His name, we burn their pride.

"No retreat, no mercy, no fear in war!"

Strike the hammer, break the door!

Victory is written in steel and flame,

Let the World tremble at His name!"

Now the jungle turns to dust,

Only ruin, only rust.

Raise the banner, sound the call,

The Emperor's might shall rule them all!

We are the Emperor's chosen might,

His iron sons forged in a fight.

No foe can stand, no traitor hide,

In His name, we burn their pride.

★★★

The final chorus faded, leaving only the hum of the engines and the heavy breath of soldiers.

Then—

"Falcon Two to Falcon Lead! Heat signatures detected—Sector 7A! We have multiple targets!"

"Falcon Two, confirm visual."

"Confirmed. We've got movement in the ruins. At least a dozen hostiles. They're moving forward, but we're not sure if they're Latvian or Amazonian."

"Do not engage until positive ID is made. I repeat—hold fire until confirmed. All units, redirect to Sector 7A. Move now."

Roland ordered over the radio.

As the helicopters flew over the forest, many people were hiding behind the trees.

At first glance, anyone could mistake them for elves, but they were Amazonians.

"Princess, they're gone," said an Amazonian.

After the helicopters flew away, they began to emerge from behind the trees. All of them were women.

They were dressed in green leafy clothes. The beautiful women carried bows, arrows, and swords.

They were once the elite warriors of Amazonia. However, after the invasion of Latvia, their country was almost destroyed. They tried to fight but they could not survive in front of Latvia's huge army. They are now on the run. Within their own territory.

"Are these some new type of monster from Latvia?"

"That seems to be it. Their dragons seem to have reduced their flying in the sky now. They seem to be relying more on these new types of monsters now."

"You are right. I have not seen their dragons in the sky for a few weeks. However, these new types of creatures seem very intelligent. They seem to be able to talk. However, I have never heard their language before."

The people of Amazonia still didn't know about Latvia's defeat. So they thought the Bernard Empire's helicopters were Latvia's monsters.

While they were talking about this, Princess Elissa raised her hand and everyone fell silent.

"Everyone, be quiet."

Amazonia was a matriarchal society and her mother had been in charge of everything since she was captured by Latvia.

Elissa was very beautiful and a very strong warrior. A seven-foot-tall, muscular woman.

Her voice and her face were very serious.

"We don't have time to worry about this! No matter what kind of monsters they bring to capture us, we won't give up."

She looked at the metal box in her hand. Inside it was one of the four keys to Eternal.

"We must keep it safe at all costs"
