CHAPTER 80: ATTACKING THE RIVERLANDS
“ My lord, Alaric's host, has finally left Thaloria City, and is making for the Topwell River. “Lord Terence Coldmire, Lord Protector of House Coldmire, Warden of the Coldmire Bridge says on the other end of the call after Lord Montgomery Topwell’s smartphone rings. “ Have no fear, Lord Terence. Tell everyone to retreat to the Aqualore Vault Citadel at once. ““ What of the crops, buildings, and storehouses and bridges across the river, my lord? ““ Install machine gun posts and howitzers in key locations. Oh, and burn the crops you couldn't harvest a few weeks ago. Use flamethrowers if you must. As for bridges, keep them intact. Let the invaders advance thinking they will have an easy victory. As for the houses and warehouses full of goods, strip them empty of supplies before coming here, and blow the houses and storage areas into smithereens with bombs. Oh, and do make sure to bleed them little by little when you retreat, to give them a taste of the sharp fangs and fury of the
CHAPTER 79: THE ROYAL MERCHANT GUILD'S FUNDING OFFER
“ It's an honor to meet you in person, Your Highness. I come to you bearing an offer. “Melanie Jenkins, a young clerk of the Royal Merchant Guild, no older than 18, smoothly says in front of Third Prince Cain Vailtair Thaloria, in Prince Cain's private office high atop the Frostmark Governance Tower, while performing a polite and elegant curtsy. She wears a crisp uniform embossed with the sigil of the Royal Merchant Guild, an owl with flashing eyes, perched atop a closed chest filled with gold that hugs her sexy and petite body, complete with high heels. “ Oh, spare me the flattery Melanie. Do sit down before you fall from exhaustion. Climbing up and down the tower must be the most tiring task. “Third Prince Cain humors Melanie with an elegant yet mocking bow of his own, his voice smooth as silk, a charming smile plastered upon his lips, with his eyes as sharp and calculating as ever. He watches Melanie blush at the sight of him, and his charming, courtly manners, scrambling to c
CHAPTER 78: A SHEEPMONGER LORD'S PERSPECTIVES
In the otherwise verdant rolling plains and flatlands in the border town named Ramspire Town, a border town belonging to Hollowram Kingdom, that lies close to the Ironhorse Town of Horselord Empire, there is a sense of peace and quiet, with sheep bleating while peacefully eating their curds, to the sounds of the wind rustling against the rich, tall, grass. But appearances can deceive, since this border town has changed ownership half a million times in a year, with the Horselord Empire trying to expand its borders, and the residents of Ramspire Town and the other neighbouring border towns and border cities of Hollowram Kingdom giving them much fierce resistance. “ Since King Remko Hollowram, and Queen Rachelle Hollowram signed the trade and alliance treaty with Third Prince Cain Vailtair Thaloria, the horselords only intensified their attacks upon our border, my lord. “A certain soldier considered as a Second Class citizen of Hollowram Kingdom, named Rocco Young, a scion of the we
CHAPTER 77: A SUCCESSFUL NEGOTIATION
In the Free City of Miravalin, a delegate of Third Prince Cain Vailtair Thaloria, named Lady Alicia Seafyre, of House Seafyre, is meeting with the Wavespeaker of Miravalin, Ezio Cantio, of House Cantio, the highest official who leads Miravalin. “ It's a pleasure to meet you in person, my lord. Third Prince Cain Vailtair Thaloria offers Miravalin generous terms, a marriage alliance, and a trade treaty. “Alicia says smoothly. “ Let me hear those terms then. You are blunt, my lady, so let's not waste time with all those empty little compliments. “Ezio says, his hands steepled underneath his chin, calculated and cunning as ever. “ Third Prince Cain offers you blueprints, a total renovation of your navy, an air force of your own, the assistance of dragons, and a modern way of life, my lord. He doesn't make empty offers. “As if on point, Lady Alicia Seafyre speaks something into her headpiece. The doors to Ezio’s private solar swings open, and two servants of House Seafyre, wearing
CHAPTER 76: THE CORSAIR'S PERSPECTIVES
Jesse McGillroy, the leader of McGillroy Corsairs, daringly sneaks into the port of the Free City of Cinderholm in the dusk of the night together with his crew, and a bunch of his swift, piratical, retrofitted frigate ships flying his banner, a black flag with skulls embossed in gold. “ Take everything, ladies and gentlemen. Leave not a single crate for that fat and pompous merchant prince. “Jesse says with a mocking drawl, gesturing languidly and elegantly with his gloved left hand covered with polished, tanned kidskin gloves, his sharp predatory eyes scanning the port for potential threats, whilst his gloved right hand rests easily on Dragonheart Imperium steel saber. “ Oh, and be quick and silent about it. I’ll hate for the Cinderholm City Port Watch to be awakened by such a loud ruckus. It will be most unfortunate if a fight breaks out. “Jesse adds. “ I can’t imagine the look on Magister Lorenzo Presutti’s face when he wakes up to know that all his… precious goods and war
CHAPTER 75: POPE AURELIAN'S PREPARATIONS
“ How fares the work on all those automated ballistas, catapults, and trebuchets, Arlington? “Pope Aurelian asks crisply to the chief smith of Thaloria Castle, whilst inspecting the siege machines magically automated to defend Thaloria City, and Thaloria Castle with approval. “ We have already finished creating the prototype to be shown to the rest of the smiths of Thaloria City, Your Holiness. ““ Very good, Arlington. Make sure even the docks are equipped with the same machines. Oh, and don't forget the battlements and walkways of Thaloria Castle. ““ That will make Theron & Cain cautious, Your Holiness. It will send a shiver down the spines of their banner lords and their dragonlords. ““ I mean to make them cautious, Arlington. If they have magically automated war machines, so shall we. I don't intend to be caught in a surprise attack with my breeches down. ““ If I may be so bold, Your Holiness, I highly suggest that you equip Blackmoor Province, and the Royal Marches with
