Chapter 565: Drachma
Alexander was in Drachma. Unlike his previous work. This country was very different. It was big and powerful. In no way was it losing the war. In fact, Drachma was trying to take over Amestris. But, because of the strong Alchemist forces of Amestris, Drachma didn't take any drastic steps.
So, if he wanted to stop this country, he needed to take bigger steps than just talking to the ruler or the president of this country.
He needed to fully take over the country by any means, only then can he dictate what happens here.
"Dobby, I want you to call 20 Seraphs and tell them to take over as much land as they can. They are not allowed to kill though unless they are murderers and rapists." He ordered.
"Okay boss." Dobby vanished in Phixheim.
While Dobby did that, Alexander went to the capital of the country. He didn't act reserved, he just changed his dress and entered the palace. Drachma although didn't have a ruler, but even the so-called president was not someone less than a ruler. He had been in the position of president for the past 20 years.
The man had full control over the political side of the country. There was also an opposition but that was only in name as he also controlled them through some secret means. He also dictated the laws of the country to whatever he wanted.
In all of Alexander's experience, most of the leaders of the countries he had met were big sinners. Most of the time they were from Category 3. This was because most of them had done something in their political career that had resulted in many people dying or they had committed some other corrupt act.
So, Alexander looked into the sins of Drachma's president and he hit the jackpot. He was a Category 4 sinner with 5 Genocides under his belt and lots of other crimes such as child trafficking, human trafficking, and many more.
~Now I don't feel bad about taking over this country.~ Alexander thought.He barged into the president's office via magic. He was shocked to find that 90% of the stiff in the room was made of gold, leaving only the walls, paper, and clothes. Even his dustbin was made of gold.
"What is this? Federal Gold Reserves?" Alexander questioned loudly.
The president had his eyes closed and was relaxing on the chair. His eyes suddenly opened.
Then, with a thud noise, a woman came out from under the table. Her hair was in a mess. Alexander could guess what she was doing and looking at how old the man looked, it must have been a nightmare.
But, to Alexander's shock, another woman came out from under the table. Then a third one and then a fourth woman came out.
Alexander's jaw was touching the floor. "You only have one instrument, why are there so many girls under the table? Are you giving birth to them?"
But, to Alexander's shock, another woman came out.
"Is there a door under your desk?" Alexander asked.
"WHO ARE YOU? SECURITY," the president raged.
Alexander made all the girls fall asleep and force choked the president while levitating him in the air. He at least weighed 110 kilos while just being 5 feet 5 inches tall.
"You really are as bad as the rumours say. But, no more. Thank you for lending me your skin." Alexander said.
"Who are you?" The president asked.
"A friendly neighbourhood grandpa. What did you think? I'm some kind of a spy? haha..." Alexander joked.
He didn't put him in time torture but instead, put a curse. He would have to chop himself into tiny pieces and kill himself. Alexander made sure he wouldn't die unless he had chopped 75% of his own body.
What followed was agony-filled screams. But no one out of the room could hear them. Alexander cast a silencing charm on him and also put headphones on him with a 2-second delay so he would hear his own screams.
Alexander called out a T-800 droid.
"Take the form of that man's face and read his memories. You will be taking his place but will run this country with better responsibility. Sign an eternal peace pact between Drachma and Amestris." He ordered.
The same thing was happening all around Drachma. Governors of Provinces, major political leaders, and high ranking DCCP members were replaced by T-800 droids. They would act the same but better.
Alexander had the whole country in his hands. He immediately called a General Meeting where all small and big officials would come. There, the fake president will announce some new plans and he will also get the support of his opposition at the same time. This will stop anyone from going against his orders.
With the peace deal in hand, Alexander left the country and returned to Briggs Fort's Drachma side.
But when he reached there and signalled with fire, instead of the lift being sent for him, he was bombarded on by mortar shells.
Alexander laughed, "Dobby, it seems they are too scared of me now."
They were dodging the shells like a walk in the park with minimal effort.
Alexander soon started catching the shells and throwing them towards the mountain around them. Soon, a large avalanche started up. This, too, couldn't stop Alexander as he came out on the top of the snow.
The exchange went on for an hour before stopping. Then, the lift came down to get him.
Alexander was yet to know what side did Major Armstrong chose. When he came to the top, his helicopter was also there.
~I guess we're in the safe judging by the state of our helicopter.~
After entering the fort, Alexander saw Olivier walking towards them and giving them a salute. "Welcome back, General. How was your trip?" She asked.
"Haha, the trip was amazing, except for the little exercise at the end. Other than that, I have now signed an eternal peace pact with Drachma. The President and the political party have themselves assured that peace will be maintained. They will also demilitarise the borders, especially in this sector." Alexander explained.
Olivier's eyes fully opened when she heard the news. If this was the case, then it meant that she wouldn't have to man the fort so overzealously. She will be able to focus more on her career then.
~Hmm, from that little exercise back then, he certainly is extremely strong and now I know it's not just his body that is strong but his mind too.~
"Any special happenings while I was gone?" Alexander inquired.
"I'd rather show you, sir." She replied.
"Haha, okay, lead the way then." He chuckled.
He followed her to the topmost prison cells. They were made in a way that the only way out of the building would be jumping hundreds of feet to the ground.
"These two dogs had lost their way while sniffing you around," Olivier said, pointing to a prison cell.
Alexander looked and saw two people sitting on the floor. They were handcuffed and looked a bit scared.
