As soon as they signed the arrangements and pack an undead can in to notify Colt that a village in the north right by the border was under attack by bandits. Colt ordered his troops to go to the village and try to push the bandits out of the village. After the undead pushed the bandits out of the village they found out there were villagers missing.
Colt ordered his ravens to find where bandits took the missing villagers. As soon as Sonnet heard what happened she found Colt and said.
My king I need to take to you about the missing villagers.
What is it Sonnet asked Colt?
North of that village is a large amount of land that no one's willing to claim so bandits have make it their own kingdom so to speak said Sonnet.
So a bandits land that anything goes and no kingdoms or empires have any claims on the land asked Colt.
Exactly my king but they have a strong hold here the land use to be fae land and here a castle there that use to serve as a fortress for them because there was a high grade magic crystal mine there reply Sonnet.
Is that so come with me Sonnet said Colt.
Sonnet follow Colt as he hurry to where king Waylon and king Apollo was at.
King Waylon and king Apollo we need to discuss some extremely important said Colt.
What is it ask king Apollo.
Colt turned to Sonnet them them what you told me said Colt.
North of the village that was just attack by bandits there a large amount of land that no one's willing to claim so bandits have make it their own kingdom. It be fae land and here a castle there that use to serve as a fortress for them because there was a high grade magic crystal mine in the middle of the fortress but when the fae kingdom was destroyed the fortress was abandoned. But now bandits have began using it as a strong hold over the past few years said Sonnet.
So what do you want us to do with this information ask king Apollo.
Is what Sonnet said is true no one have claimed that land or the mine asked Colt.
Yes reply king Apollo by what I know it is no man's land.
Colt look at king Waylon and you king Waylon do you know if that is true.
Yes reply king Waylon after the fae kingdom was destroyed no one ever claim the land it was abandoned and became a no man's land.
So do ether of yous have any complaints about me attacking the bandits,and taking over the land ,fortress, and crystal mine ask king Colt.
I do not said king Waylon.
Me ether said king Apollo it will be a great help if you would kill the bandits off for me and my kingdom.
Then it is final I will take the land that originally belonged to the fae kingdom said king Colt. I will get my troops ready be leaving shortly is there anymore businesses that we need to address?
After afew moments of silence Colt began to speak again.
King Waylon and king Apollo it was a honor speaking with both of yous if yous ever need anything just let me know until we meet again.
King Colt if Zixuan condition changes let me know I will go to her immediately said king Waylon.
If anything happens I will notify you immediately said Colt.
Until me meet again said king Apollo.
Them Colt walk away with Sonnet following behind him.
What was that all about king Apollo asked king Waylon.
My daughter is one of his concubines reply king Waylon.
What said king Apollo I thought you would never do that to her.
I was not going to but because of her there was almost a war between me and king Colt so I make the decision to offer her as a concubine to him, a non transgression pact, and trade agreements. And king Colt accepted everything including making her his concubine said king Waylon.
And you are completely fine with it ask king Apollo?
Yes reply king Waylon.Zixuan was with me when she was attacked by the crowned prince of this kingdom. I failed her but she is still alive and will survive but king Colt will definitely increase her guards next.
Colt walk into the courtyard and everyone was waiting Draco, Morgana, Jinn, Melantha, Troy, Kathe, Bernice, Destin, Marsh, Nadia, and Hayate were all waiting for Colt to address them.
So earlier a village in the north was attacked and villagers where taken. We believe that they where taking by bandits. And that the bandits with sell the captured villagers will be sold to the goblin kingdom for breeders or food. And any extra value ones are taking to.the slave market for sale. We are going to attack the bandits and take over their land and free anyone they that captured. Do anyone have any questions.
I have one said Hayate. Would it be beneficial to have land in the middle of nowhere so far from our kingdom.
Normally no but there use to be a fae fortress there and a high grade magic crystal mine said Colt.
And that important why ask Hayate.
Because it possible that there a gate point there that I can activate and use it to travel to Hope and have undead get the mine going again said Colt.
Now that makes sense now said Hayate.
And it is in a strategic location to attack the goblin kingdom said Colt.
To attack the the goblin kingdom said Hayate?
Yes that been in the works for some time but there was a major attack on my kingdom just as I was getting ready to declare war on the goblins said Colt.
That seems odd reply Hayate.
It was there was a spy in my kingdom so after that happened all war plans and troops movements are kept on a need to know bases for all my vessel lords, alliance lords, and my servants said Colt.
That makes sense reply Hayate.
So what your plan asked Bernice?
We will go to the bandits territory iand we will begin to slowly search the entire territory until we clear every inch. I will have my troops do the main search as we move towards the fortress said Colt. My troops will be under the orders to kill or capture any bandits we found as we search the territory.
Any questions?
No one said anything.
Okay let move out Colt said.
Colt, Morgana, Jinn, Melantha, Troy, Kathe, Bernice, Destin, Marsh, Nadia, Sonnet, and Hayate make their way to the north most border and they proceede into the bandit territory and Colt summoned all of his troops there was 17,000 undead troops and 100 zombie dragons. Colt ordered them to starting the search for the bandits.
As they move towards the fortress they ran into only small groups of bandits.
It would appear we only been finding patrols said Sonnet.
Yes reply Colt so ether they are weaker then what the lizard man thought they are, there main force is not here right now, or they are all in the fortress using it to their advantage.
Just then a skeleton assassin appeared before Colt with a message.
My king we have found the enemy forces they are hold up ahead in a super fortress.
There are about 50,000 bandits and it would a large army of goblins are on here way to the fortress. There about 100,000 they look like mostly regular goblins and some hobgoblins.
Do they know we are attacking Colt asked?
It do not appear in the fortress there are about 5,000 females in chains we believe the goblins are here to collect them for breeders to continue to grow their armies strength reply the skeleton assassin.
So they are doing an exchange the goblins are probably bringing gold or valuable to trade for the captives the bandits have. Stit we have to move now if we are in the process of the attack on the bandits when the goblins get there by the rules most of the kingdoms follow they will have to back off said Colt.
And if they do not ask Bernice?
Then we are in the clear with killing them without declaring war and the goblin allies will not be able to make a move with out my allies getting involved said Colt.
How do that work ask Sonnet?
It simple if the goblins attack us when we are fighting the bandits it will be self defense for us and the goblin king can said that the goblins were rogue and was not acting under his authority or his knowledge said Colt.
So he will be saiding he have no idea what they are doing and we are to believe him ask Sonnet?
