Zyzero, Nomad Lord and Mercenary General
Greeting all. I am Zyzero, nomad by blood and mercenary by nature. I am a mercenary general, who commands a force consisting of more than two entire theatres of soldiers. That is more than 700.000 soldiers. A small amount of them are nomads loyal to my clan, the rest of them are kept on a tight leash, as they are truly mercenary in nature. I am a great fan of strategy, be it land, sea or sky. Cautious attrition is my favourite form of engagement, the sword and polearm my favourite weapons.

There are a few quotes I live and lead by. Most of them are written down by Chinese general and strategic genius Sun Wu (more commonly known as Sun Tzu), and found in his ancient strategy and philosophy tome The Art of War.

"What the Ancients considered a clever fighter is not merely one who wins, but one who excels at winning with ease." - Sun Tzu.

"It is said that if you know your enemy, and you know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you know not the enemy, but know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle." - Sun Tzu

"Of all relationships in the army, none is more intimate than that of the general and his spy; of all rewards, none is more liberal than that given to the spy; of all matters, none more confidential than that relating to covert operations." - Sun Tzu.

"Regard your soldiers as your own beloved sons, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys." - Sun Tzu
