Shift of Power
Time didn't stop while Michael was busy growing closer to his people. Everything continued to move on at its usual pace as the young Lord in the Untamed Jungle spent his time refining his body, mind, and War Rune.
While Michael was busy, the Valyr Lordess, the Zynur Lord, and the Laprix Lord began with the expansion of their territory. They divided the territory of the late Kitsun Lord equally and split up the assets evenly as well. Their armies conquered the territory, killing every Kitsun without a shred of hesitation.
In a matter of mere days close to 500,000 Kitsun were killed, their corpses burned or fed to the carnivores raised in their territories. Meanwhile, the slaves of the late Kitsun Lord were freed and given a choice to make. Either they would become part of the three Lords' territories by creating a Link of Loyalty with the respective Lord, or they would have to leave the territories and search for a new place to stay.
