I managed to get spies in the cities of the races we discovered. The cultures and styles in which they build are really different.
The elves are versatile in their cities if they live in mountain terrain they will carve into the mountain and create a city like that. And if they live in forests either they build on top of the trees or inside the trees don't know, how but they seem to boost the trees so they grow gigantic.
(Elves)
Dark Elves were similar in style in which they build but they either chose so-called "Dark" forests marchlands and swamps. And most time they used magic to shroud their villages in mists.
(Dark Elves)
Dwarves were entirely different. They build their cities underground with occasional few buildings above ground and one building housing the entrance underground. Surprisingly the stereotypes were right the males all had beards and be they male or female dwarves loved alcohol.
I got the dwarves to align them selfs to me and it took only. A few thousand barrels of alcohol, rare materials I found in Nazarick. And blueprints of armors, weapons, and everyday utilities.
Half-dragons like dragons liked the heat. So most cities were built either atop thermal springs or close to volcanic activity. They build in Japanese oriented style but sometimes mixed it with other building styles.
(I know there are other races like demi-humans, Beastmen, and Dark dwarves. The problem with the first two is, it is never really established what species are in these groups/kingdoms/tribes. While with dark dwarves the problem is that it is said they have their own kingdom yet at the same time it's said they're part of the demi-human tribes and their appearance is never really described. Maybe I overlooked something or I am mistaking it with some fanfic/novel.)
I sent Aura and Mare to the Dark Elves. It seems it is a sign of being something akin to royalty in Dark elf culture to be beast tamer so they listened to Aura and mare almost instantly It was easy to strike an "alliance" with them.
After that, I needed to go after the elves. The king was a disgusting bag of sh!t he enslaved every female that he took a liking to and when someone spoke back to him he would sell the mas slaves to other countries so the only thing I needed to do was get rid of the king and set my puppet on the throne.
(Elf king)
After a while of thinking I sent pandora actor to start a rebellion and find someone to replace the elf king. It took few months but the rebellion was large enough to overthrow the kingdom and thanks to the pandora actor who found my puppet who we set up as the leader of the rebels he agreed to swear the kingdom allegiance to me if it meant a better life for the citizens.
So I gave the go to start the rebellion which caused enough distraction so I just sent Igris to dispose of the elf king and made it look like he was poisoned by one of his slaves that took the opportunity of the chaos.
Then the "leader" of the rebellion was chosen as the new king.
(New Elf king)
Meanwhile, I took to overtaking the criminal underworld in both The Baharut Empire and the Re-estize Kingdom. Which was easy. After the cleansing of the corrupt nobles, the leaders of the underworld lost support and there wasn't anyone to bribe so they would look the other way when the leaders were conducting business plus with the Thieves guild they didn't stand a chance.
I also started building a city on the territory I received from the king. I took representatives from each of the races that I cloud to get input on the construction of the city since it was going to be the first joint town of these races and the start of my empire.
The relaxation(Spa/hot spring/massages) district was taken care of by the half-dragons.
The farms, gardens, greenhouses, and flower shops were taken care of by elves and dark elves.
The blacksmiths and jewelry shops were taken by dwarves.
The lizardmen mostly took fishing and being an overall workforce.
The rest was taken care of jointly by all the races in the city few shops were even with mixed ownerships.
Now it was only a matter of time until I had enough people and economy to start training an army.
Meanwhile, I had to focus on the Roble Holy Kingdom.
And then conquering The Slane Theocracy.
(First I will take normal people from all the races for the army and train them then enhanced them with potions and magic so the appearances from the previous chapter still are the ones that will be used. Also, I stated that The Emperor and the Court mage were under illusion magic but I'm changing that to them being able to change their appearance whenever they want.
If you see any mistakes in a grammar point them out please so I can repair them.
Hope you enjoyed the chapter. And see you next time.)
