(I won't be on the rest of the day, as I will be travelling. So this will be my only post.)

Engar was in his capital. He was looking at a map of Skyrim. A Dagger was stuck in the middle of where Riften would be. "We will march on the Rift when our forces are refilled. We are still not at full strength." He said.

"Aye sir." Dathman said. "The Jarl of the Rift may have united his hold but he is no match for our Kingdom."

"That is true, but Riften has always had cunning leaders. If they are smart they will use this time to ready themselves. And I fear that Haafingar may take advantage of our army's absence should we march on the Rift." Engar said.

"Not to mention Whiterun, their borders grow ever closer to ours. And they have been enforcing heavy taxes on our trade goods passing through their territories." Alfbrand said.

"I will deal with Whiterun after the Rift has bent the knee." Engar said determined.

"After them there is also the problem of Falkreath, and the Reach." Jayred said.

"Aye." Dathman said. "But we can crush them. We're the strongest nation in Skyrim, none can stand against us."

"Not alone." Galos said. "But if, per say, the Rift and Whiterun were to ally. Then they'd be able to attack us on two fronts. If we march south then Whiterun would strike from the west. If we march west then the Rift would attack from the south."

"A troubling thought." Alfbrand said.

"We'd just split the army. I can lead one for and King Engar leads another. We have the man power to fight them both." the General said.

"Correction." Engar said. "We will have the man power. As per your last report we still only possess less than 3000 soldiers. It will take a few months for us to reach our full strength. In the meantime let's focus on guarding our borders and keeping the peace in the kingdom."

"Aye sir." Dathman said nodding.
