Chapter 27 - Chapter 24: The Expansion

Seventy-two hours had elapsed since the feast. All of Austria's finest men gathered within the kingdom's war room, discussing their plans to ambush Obaka and his allies during the winter. Even Achilles The First, was in attendance to the crucial meeting.

 "Winter will be right on our door step soon. We can use that as our advantage to seize the Western and Southern region, along with crushing the Chief of the Orcs".

"Your plan intrigues me my son, please, continue". Sr Achillies said.

"I'm sure that the other kingdoms will think that they're safe, because they will assume that we won't attack during the winter storms. That assumptious thinking will lead them to their demise, for they do not know that the Austrians have grown accustomed to the harsh conditions. That is when we carry out coordinated attacks". 

 "Ahhh, the good ole' element of surprise, what a grand idea your majesty". Said one of the seven Warlords applauding him. Many of the attendees agreed with the King's plan. 

"Let us, the knights, lead the first series of attacks, followed by the mages. Lastly, we should save our most powerful warriors for the final blow". Said Ferze , The General Knight , another high ranking warrior attending the meeting.

There was instant chatter among the other attendees.

 "She makes a fair point, my son" . Sr Achillies said pointing at Subaka, while his eyes were locked on Ferze. The room went quiet and not a single person moved, but shortly afterwards, everyone's eyes adverted towards Subaka. 

"Commander what are your thoughts" !? 

 "Do you approve of the collected ideas , thus far" ? 

Many of the attendees were seeking Subaka's approval, even the former and current Kings.Feeling overwhelmed by the thought of going against his brother, Subaka left the room,causing an uproar.

 "Until we have the final acknowledgement from our Commander in chief, everyone gathered here, is dismissed". Achillies said, trying to calm everyone down.

"Humph, don't tell me you've gone soft commander..." Michaelangelo said to himself, as he too, was an attendee.
