800 pages of this madness already. Pity the fool who one day decides to join and tries to read it from beginning!

The quartermaster shrugs at Josephine.

"I'm not setting the prices. Ask Yokohama public services for that. As for ammo; pack extra weapons. I'm sure they will last."

The sought-after ad came upon on Channel 5.

Featuring mystical arcs of electricity, towers of doom and hidden jungle lab in background, the presenter gave approximate details of the weapon, which is undergoing war trials, and is boasted to be the new, to-go lightweight electric weapon for masses.


"Pre-order today, and enjoy a generous 10% price cut until approximate Earth-wide introduction date of 15th September. Delivery within two days anywhere on Earth*, with special rush delivery service to front line troops of UNMDF."

"Sao Paulo Electronics and Mechatechnics Institute. Today's war, future's technology." The annoyingly loud MWWAAAHHHH and equally distracting green-and-silver SPE&MI logo capped the end of the webvid.

I shall lurk in here.

Captain approves of these wise choices ;v

They are to march north through Cydwyl and into Helliste, and join forces with them.

Unexpected news from Cydwyl! Apparently, your Army from Parsia marched right into Rosaman lizard raiders, led by crafty Kris Shogunov, who, after trekking through the Bloodpeak Mountains and camping at the unprotected borders of east Cydwyl, was going to invade your husband's land.

Initial report of the combat leaves many of Shogunov's cohorts dead (as much as five thousand infantry, your officers estimate), as they were exhausted from the arduous journey through the mountains, and the man himself was captured and executed. Thousands of war lizards were slain, lots of provisions taken and quite a few lizardlings and lizard eggs were captured from Rosaman supply wagons. Casualties amongst your own soldiers didn't exceed a thousand.

Priests of the Pantheonist God of Luck heap praise upon their name for this most happy of coincidences, and you leave a coin upon the altar as well.

After a modest victory feast with your courtiers, you get back to your chambers, only to see Rinilda, your first daughter, sitting on the bed, clutching her straw doll, looking very unhappy. You quickly move in to give her a hug.

"Now now, what's wrong, my dear?"

"Mom, is it true I will never be Empress? That my sister will rule everything cuz she is King Cyl's daughter? That I will be left in palace and forever grow old and forgotten like Lady Auvena?"

After giving her a consoling pat on her raven-black head, you decide to...

A) Reassure her that she will remain your heir and, one day, rule all that is Methiantese, as an Empress.
B) Break the news to her - unfortunately, the world of politics is a cruel one, and she needs to adjust to it!
C) Politely ask your eldest who is telling her such mean and totally wrong things about her future life.

You name her Cylia, after the greatest of Yoean men!

Few hours of nap later, you're given some wine as courtiers bring in the messenger from Parsia; apparently, Cyl met with Helliste messenger behind your back!

He pledged immediate help of Cydwyllian and Methiantese forces against the vile aggressors from the east, and is preparing to set out and lead Cydwyllian forces from the front lines.

A) Bless his sharp mind, now let me hear the report from Parsia.
B) Wait wait wait, hold on, he did what!?
