"Are you sure about this, milord?" asked Lucille, the King's financial advisor. "We are not a warmongering kingdom, and so are you sure these military enhancements are strictly necessary? We already have 3000 levies prepared to defend our city, so why do you need 1000 more conscripts?"

"I do not. I need more than that. 1000 is just a start. We are not defending our city, we are taking our realm. The lords consider me weak because I have invested in education and agriculture instead of fighting pointless wars against Orcs like the eastern lords. They do not pay me anymore, and they do not contribute to my armies, and so it is time to force their hands."

"About time, I say." commented Stein, the Nord military advisor to the court. "As I understand it, you intend to force the lords of Ebon Wastes, Moonguard and Fort Lardel to bow before Camlorn? Easily done, just send in the armies."

"Not so fast, Stein:" rebuted the King, who preferred not to spill blood. "We will start by sending a diplomatic message south to Ebon Wastes. Speak of uniting the realm to secure our position and offer the lord vassalage under my kingdom. We will speak of arms and combat should he be foolish enough to refuse, though the surrounding lords have no doubt noticed our increasing military potency, so I doubt it. Send ten cavaliers with the message."

"Aye, sir."
