I sincerely hoped that the rumor wasn’t true…but we’re about to find out for ourselves very soon. … “Are all men in position?” Ren addressed his generals. “Yes, Your Highness. All men are in position. The first wave of attack has been launched as you have planned,” Shin, Ren’s right-hand man and also best friend, replied with confidence. “Good. Send in the second wave using the secret paths like I’ve planned. The aim is to win this war as soon as possible with the least casualty on both sides. Go!” Ren commanded.

“You wanted a Queen to bend. Instead, you have a Queen who commands. You wanted to hide your rule behind fear. Instead, I will rule with strength and mercy. And you will not stop me.” The last echoes rang in the stone as the defenders parted, clearing a path toward Layla.

Conqueror... A title only meant for people who strive to reclaim the lands from the monsters to humanity. The Conquerors are one of humanity's hope including the adventurers. Conquerors command the people to their glory to reclaim the lands. No Conqueror could have achieved the feat of conquering the lands on their own without an army and no people can achieve conquering the lands even with superior numbers without the lead of a Conqueror. The way to gain the title is by achieving great feats in countless battles and polishing your skills. Harder than being an adventurer could do.

If he remembered rightly, courtesy of Eithne, Connor Mac Neill had wooed Ava before returning to that particular kingdom as a conqueror. They actually hailed from elsewhere. Why was this so important to Frederick’s lot? It turned out some of the mercenaries among them were proud Larch men. The last thing he needed was an internal war.

Quickly, I emerged from my hiding place and ran toward the front door, pushing it open, I mumbled a word of appreciation as it soundlessly revealed the setting sun, closing the door behind me I raced down the porch bare footed in the opposite direction and never looked back. *** My hair whipped in different directions as the wind slapped at my face. I was already running out of breath but stopping was not an option, at least not unless I came accross civilisation. On either side of me, the looming trees of the thick rain forest dwarfed me and in front of me, the endless asphalt road diminished any hope of me finding civlisation or help in time. The unmistakable screech of tires behind me res

“Yes, It was a better choice but then we will need to take responsibility for their livelihood and prosperity. You can’t just conquer them, plunder all of their resources and leave them to die, can you? We are not bandits after all.” “I see… If we conquer them, we need to look out for them too, the newly conquered territory would have a lot of resistance and that would waste a lot of resources to try to make them truly yours.

“Are you going to tell me?” “They wanted my company. All of Sinclair and Associates’ holdings, signed over. A nuclear option, as I said. They tried to possess my company through subterfuge.
