434 Surrender (2/2)
”We should join him, he invaded us and we could not even find him before he showed himself to us, he is expecting us to fight back, and he also has some power to actually invade us with nothing but an assistant and a realm, if we could even get past his realm, I would consider it a victory”.
Bahn sighed and stood up from his chair, passed a bottle of strange-looking wine to Mir. ”glad to see you are still as smart as before, he brought gifts, I will go prepare the surrender of control to him, let's meet again soon”.
Mir was almost stunned but still looked away, after he was left alone, he opened the gifted bottle of wine and drank alone, with a hint of melancholy tainting the serene atmosphere.
War walked in after making sure Mir was alone, he too sat and drank with him, the two seemed to be more in tune then they let the world see, especially the eternally, wrathful War.
”It hurts to know that I will lose even before the battle is started, makes me feel worthless” there was a hint of frailty that War would never let show in the words he spoke. The words Bahn had left were enough for him to understand how unattainable that victory was.
Mir looked at his drinking friend and smiled, his voice still low and dignified ”you will fight as best as you can, if you can reach him, we can get better terms, your next battle is not about if we surrender, that is already preordained, it is about gaining a bit of an advantage, if he alone could come by and invade us, we surely should not meet up with the full force”.
”These invaders are also trying to prevent their universe from entering the culling, maybe he wants to do something to force the hands of the primordials, anyway, even if he came seeking an alliance instead of allegiance, we would have fought as well, the less we lose now, the more we can spare later on, this invader knows that and that is why he came to talk instead of barging in with his weapons drawn”.
Mir nodded, War was smart enough to strategise otherwise he would not have been named after something that can never be won without strategic thinking.

”When you go against him, don't fret about losing men just fight as if it is the culling we are facing, do your best, get us a better deal, at least we want the privilege to separate when we feel like it, otherwise, hopefully, he won't pose harsher terms if we could do nothing”.
The words Mir left behind were extremely discouraging to many, but to War, they were enough to ignite his battle spirit, if not fighting for the right to live free, then what did they become gods for? To become slaves? NEVER!
