Colt closed the chat and look at Holly, Carly and Avery. They where still reading their grimoires.
Colt was notified that they have crossed back into eagalon kingdom. And where about one hour away from the capital.
Meanwhile in the capital the lords and princess Isobel where trying to get all the troops reorganize and find out all the damages they suffered. Just then a soldier ran into the throne room.
Princess Isobel there is dragons and knights from the Castuicia empire one of their princess requesting to speak to you.
A princess reply princess Isobel.
Yes princess Isobel reply one of the elders in the Castuicia empire the only way to be able to accent the throne is to show your military strength in combat and you must also show you can be a diplomat by making alliances with out using your military strength as a threat.
I understand reply princess Isobel show her in. Afew minutes later and young lady with long red hair wearing full armor just like her knight walk into the throne room follow by afew knights walk in.
Princess Isobel it is nice to meet you I am princess Eileen of the Castuicia empire. I heard your kingdom was in distress so me and my troops came to assist and offer our protection.
What would it cost? Ask princess Isobel.
Your kingdom would be required to become my vassal reply princess Eileen.
I would have to turn your offer down princess Eileen my kingdom do not require help at that price reply princess Isobel.
Princess laugh even if your armies all be here now we could defeat then easy and force you to submit to me.
You could try but my mother the queen is the only one that can accept your offer reply princess Isobel. And I know she will not because she have already signed a defense pact with another kingdom and that kingdom already have soldiers here and they will not allowed your troops. So unless you want a full war to break out you should watch you mouth.
How dare you speak to me like that princess
Eileen yelled as she when to attack princess Isobel. As princess Eileen closed the distance between her and princess Isobel an undead assassin appeared in front of princess Isobel. The undead assassin blocked princess Eileen attack and attack princess Eileen injuring her right side she was bleeding from a bad wound it would not kill her but would definitely leave a scar.
Her knight moves to attack and where intercept by more undead assassins.
Princess Isobel was surprised when did yous get here she asked.
One of the undead assassin spoke to her our king sent us to protect you.
Your king who is he said princess Eileen. Yous just declared war on the Castuicia empire.
My king is king Colt of the kingdom of freedom and your empire do not threaten us.
Bring your armies so we can prove our strength to our king reply the undead assassin.
Just then the rest of the knight and the dragons with princess Eileen began to attack the castle at first they overran the castle guards and undead station there but with in 5 minutes 30,000 undead overwhelmed princess Eileen soldiers. The undead mange to defeat them with out killing any of princess Eileen soldiers or dragons.
Now that you going to do to us torture, us sell us into slavery or since most of my soldiers are female are you going to rape us then sell or torture us said princess Eileen.
A skeleton raven landed in front of princess Eileen.
Princess Eileen you and your troops will not be tortured, rapid, or sold reply the skeleton raven. My king do not enjoy tortured the weak.
So what will your king will with us reply Princess Eileen.
That simple as things he can use to trade with your empire for what he wants reply the skeleton raven.
That will not work my father will not bend because you have me if anything he will tell you to kill me to save him the hassle said Princess Eileen.
Maybe but he will not stay true to that reply the skeleton raven.
You do not know my father the emperor reply
Princess Eileen.
You are correct but unless he is a complete incompetent idiot he would not risk everything on my king bluffing if you would kill you or not reply the skeleton raven.
Why are you so sure about thay asked Princess Eileen.
It is simple reply the skeleton raven. If your emperor would allow my king to kill you and your troops it would severely damage your armies morale and strengthen your enemies morale. Because your troops would know if they fight against the enemies it a guaranteed death sentence. But if they surrender they be spared. And for the enemy they can just kill all your troops they do not need to take prisoners.
Princess Eileen remains quiet she never thought about it. But it was true if her father did nothing it would hurt the troops morale and weaken her father control over the lords and troops. The undead took them to the castle dungeons.
Princess Isobel asked what will we do now?
We wait reply the skeleton raven. And see what the emperor will. My king knows about the Castuicia empire we where planning to make contact with them eventually but things happening.
Meanwhile in the Castuicia empire Skeleton raven, blackwings, and bone ravens flew straight into the castle and landed in the royal palace courtyard.
