Still, they would be in as much or even more danger from the southern human supremacists as us.

We need to corrupt the dwarves ourselves now before they reach out to our kin strong enough to become servants of lesser demons.

Dwarves might also be a good place to get equipment from, we can give them mutated mine slaves and demon enhanced weapon manufacturing techniques.

Our armies should defend our new vassal, some combat thralls and a few demon touched to escort our mages with some zombies and skeletons.  Keep the more human servants going there and the undead outside should allow for a basic defense until we can strike at and feast on their enemies in more force.

I don't think we really need much tribute from Herod's Crossing right now.  Their gradual worship and corruption is a better goal.  Lets go heavy right now (weed out those who would resist) then light in the future?

We don't even know if these guys CAN be knocked out yet.

Well, lets try anyway!

My plan is abandon the city.  Let them come to the place of great evil, we will have moved on by then and will not be home.

Split our forces up in three, one led by us, one by the mage and one by our sub demon.  Each does a fast forced march to one of the infiltrated cities and directly activates the cells, dominating minds, raising dead, taking down the gates then flooding our forces in, like we have before.  We slaughter most of the populations to build even more undead and demonic minions, maybe empower our converts in the cities themselves, then we have a force 4 times stronger then before.  Leave the three cities in ruins and recombine our forces.

Maybe the enemy besiege our city in which case we can overwhelm them, maybe they attack and take some damage, and we lose a pittance compared to what we gain.

The main issue is having our forces move fast enough to outmaneuver the enemy and maybe making an illusion so they think a  sizable force is still inside and want to wait.  I am thinking we sacrifice all existing slaves who haven't converted for a temporary demonic speed boost for our whole force.

I prefer mud rune, nothing like the earth opening up under your feet and swallowing someone whole to inspire fear (I know this isnt what it does, yet).  It will hurt a little for now and offers a good range of possibilities in the future.

As the commander is also in some rank in this empire, we need to know more about it politically and geographically.  Major cities, defenses, allies and enemies and so forth.  Yeah he should also now start training new soldiers.

Instead of raising the dead in the city as normal undead, lets have the whole town bring all dead to a central spot, then create some kind of huge siege monster zombie from the corpses.  Gaint, 4 large scything blades, some kind of toxic cloud breath weapon, dozens of small cat sized skeletal spider monsters riding it inside or outside that can swarm into any place it breaches or over walls.

We have some excess energy that we can use and we will need a siege engine of some kind later.
