The begging of war

I told Oscar junior and the clown to head off to meet with John. After I finished that I figured that joe and the tribesmen should have arrived by now.

So I pulled out my book of maps and flipped through it.

After a bit I found the map on Genda. The map was about twenty years outdated but I assumed that the biggest costal city had not changed in that time.

Considering that this kingdom was horribly run my assumption should be correct.

So I shot into the air and began to fly towards the city I had chosen.

Luckily the clown's place was relatively close so I was there in thirty minutes.

It was actually a city that I had read about before. It was another city that operated entirely on trade. Because it was near the ocean the salt made most of the land unairable. So they had no option other than trade. Luckily it was near a trade route. It would be useful to add to my repertoire of trade cities.

So I flew down to the largest house in the city which I assumed was the mayors home.

I closed my wings and faced my shoulder to one of the large glass windows that this house possessed. If I remember correctly the creation of glassware was quite expressive here. So this man must be right.

I shattered the glass and rolled on the ground.

"Ahhh!" A maid who had been dusting this place screamed as I appeared.

I winked at her

"Go get your boss." I said

She scurried off fear wafting off her like a fine perfume

I sat in the glass calmly.

After a few minutes a woman came by.

I had assumed that it was going to be a man. I guess I'm sexist???

Eh whatever.. ain't no way that's true. I'm to perfect to

She had a massive drooping amount of fat that her dress could not hide. She wore poorly applied makeup and looked at me awkardly.

I smiled at her.

"Do you rule this city."

She stared at me dumb struck.

"Ummm yes." She said

"Then I'm your new king." I told her assertively

"What?" She asked me with confusion

"I AM YOUR NEW KING!" I screamed

Her confusion only furthered

"I don't understand."

I shot to my feet and let a lethal intent sink into my eyes.

"I am your new king you inferior fool!!!" I screamed

At this point her confusion was so great that she lost her ability to stand. She fell onto her butt.

"You agree right? I'M THE NEW KING OF THIS CITY! You work under me."

"OkAy." She said stiltedly

"I would like that in a written contract please." I said

The maid went and grabbed us a piece of paper. I set the terms and conditions and then she signed.

"There is a small merchant republic a few weeks of the coast of this place. You will cooperate with them now." I told her

She couldn't do anything but nod in agreement.

Such was the power of my aura.

Next I took a quick flight to the harbour there I found a group of men with incredibly large muscles as well as a giant and a man with voids for eyes.

They were the tribesmen.

There was also joe. He simply sat there awkwardly with the woman he had brought along. Both of them looked out of place.

I walked up to them.

"Good, you're here." I said

"Come with me. I need to get you to the rest of the military force." I said

They nodded.

I shot myself in the air and started to fly at a lower altitude. I activated the sigil on my chest to give myself a glow and told the tribesmen to follow the light.

Because i was at a lower altitude it took about three hours to get to Johns encampment.

🐐🐖🐐🐖🐐🐖

We sat within a tent. With me was John, Joe and the priest.

As well as the mountain general and Oscar junior.

The clown sat outside. He was chatting with the giant chief of the tribesmen about the disadvantages of unrealistic size.

"Okay. We have to decide which duke to attack first." I said

John raised his hand.

And in response I raised my brow

"This isn't a classroom no need to raise your hand John. Just say what you want to say."

"We should attack duke oscar first. We have his son set up as his successor so transitioning him into power after defeating the duke would be easier. He would also add legitimacy to the Greg's rule. That would make the conversion of the other dukes people much easier."

I nodded in understanding

"But what about military power? You said they all have immigrants and people with immigrant level abilities. I should be able to convert at least a decent number of them after the battle. If Oscar has the highest military power then taking his institution first would not be worth it. We want the losses and the conversion to be relatively equal"

John shook his head

"No Agatha is the strongest in terms of military power. Oscar on the other hand is the weakest in every criteria other than savings."

I nodded

"Okay then. Looks like we're going after Oscar."

Oscar junior grinned at the notion.

And so we set out for war

🐐🐖🐐🐖🐐

The troops had been organised and we were at Oscar's city in an hour.

I had only brought the immigrant troops. As a fast speed will be needed if we want to avoid the lord ambushing us and taking us out in one fell swoop.

Oscar had twenty vassals that ruled twenty cities.

And each of his vassals cities was more prosperous than his.

The roads were so filled with potholes that they were barely even roads at this point.

The houses were so run down that most of them looked like they were on the verge of collapsing.

It was a sad sight to see.

"Alright. Tribesmen scout this area out."

The best part about using tribesmen as scouts was that they spoke in such a large brained way that it was almost like all of their words was encrypted in a cypher.

So they gave very covert information.

One of the scouts came forwards after scouting and whispered into my ear.

"Okay. Let us attack immediately!"
