335 Alliance Part One (1/2)
After destroying the first village, Alicia came to a decision. She took out a bronze mirror and a familiar face came into view. ”Royal Father...”
”Alicia, is there an issue?” King Augustus was surprised to be contacted so soon by Alicia. She had not left the castle for that long.
”Yes, I am in… Wait, Blake what is this area called?” Alicia realized she had no idea where she even was.
”Tribal Plains.” Blake replied.
”I am in the Tribal Plains. I plan to wipe out most of the goblins and ogres in the area to reduce their numbers as much as possible. I want you to send a few squads out here to claim the area as Alastine's and build some forts here to keep the goblins and ogres out of the area.” Alicia decided she would make this a piece of Alastine land but not for settlement but as a border to keep the women of Alastine from being kidnapped by these two races.
King Augustus let out a sigh. ”It's not that simple. The area on the other side belongs to the Fey. If we start building forts they will think we are getting ready to invade.”
This was one of the reasons why he had never set up any forts on the trade routes. Humans were not banned from traveling through Fey territory. This was because merchants would stop and sell some goods to them. Things they could not get from within their own lands had to be bought from other countries. But no human has ever stepped foot inside a Fey city.
”This… Do not worry about it. I am heading to the Fey territory anyway. I will go as Alicia and not Alex. I am not human per se since I am celestial and cultivator mix. I will mediate the reason for us building these forts and sign a treaty that says we will never attack any Fey lands.” Alicia did not want to war with the Fey but she also wanted to protect her people from being kidnapped again. ”We can also make checkpoints to make sure no Fey are being kidnapped by humans as well. With more patrols, it will be harder for them to sell Fey on the black market.”
”Alright, I will leave it to you then. I will send a unit that is only loyal to me so I know that there will not be anyone corrupt within the ranks. If you run into any issues contact me.” King Augustus felt this was a good idea. If they could gain an ally such as the Fey it would be very beneficial for Alastine.
”I will. Thank you Royal Father and Dad… Make sure you get some sleep you have black bags under your eyes.” Alicia had grown accustomed now to calling King Augustus, Royal Father when it had to deal with kingdom affairs and calling him dad when it was for personal things.
”Alicia, is it okay if the area I burn never grows back?” Loeri asked she did not want to be yelled at for destroying an area.
