[color=7ea7d8]"I CAN still throw you into the dungeon, and have you neutered Basilio."[/color] Grey threatened the druid when he came up with that stupid joke. [color=7ea7d8]"That can hopefully come later though. Claudius is awaiting us."[/color] Grey said as he led the way through the massive halls of Arce Bellum. He saw lines of guards doing their things. A few Frumentarri discussing plans, and awaiting orders from Severnus. Even a few of the clergy blessing some of the soldiers with prayers. It would seem Arce Bellum was a living breathing embodiment of the hard work they had put into making it as grand as it was. Thousands, and thousands of gold pieces, and real life money was stacked into this place. Its walls hard, and its men strong this castle was more than ready to hold its weight. Some of the younger soldiers, and even a few of the older ones gawked, and saluted them on the way to the meeting hall. It would seem the word of his ascension had come. It was one thing to be hailed as a good leader in the past but as a leader of all of them? That was certainly new. As they arrived a few levels down in the middle of Arce Bellum they came into a large round room with a large table in the middle. Dolton, and Claudius were there. Severnus stood in the corner. 

[color=fff200]"ANOTHER GREAT BEING! AND ONE OF OUR OWN!? GLORIOUS! MORE PEOPLE COME TO LEAD US! MY LORDS, AND MY LIEGE I HAVE HAD SEVERNUS DO HIS JOB! AS USUAL HE DOESN'T DISAPPOINT WE HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO SCOUT THE IMMEDIATE AREA USING MAGIC! WE DON'T KNOW THE FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORLD JUST YET BUT GIVE US A WEEK AND WE WILL HAVE MOST OF IT FOR YOU!"[/color] Claudius roared as Dolton growled in annoyance. He walked forward, and pointed towards the map on the table. [color=6ecff6]"Lords we have found out that off in the distance some dozen, or so miles away there is a small village. It has been under siege from a group of knights. It appears they are enemies of the people who own the city. We know little else. Investigation is needed, and our spies are still out in the field. Communication magic only gets us so far. We have also a relatively good idea on where their camp is at."[/color] Dolton explained as he pointed towards a few spots on the map which displayed points in the distance marked by military chess pieces. [color=fff200]"WE MUST UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION! BUT ACTION IS NECESSARY! QUICK, BRUTAL, AND MERCILESS WE MUST DEAL WITH AT LEAST ONE OF THE POSSIBLE THREATS TO OUR SECURITY!"[/color] Claudius said as Severnus spoke up, [color=39b54a]"If I may interject...kill the Knights. The village people likely hold no threat to our own. We can suppress them if need be."[/color] commented Severnus as Grey put his hands on the table, and looked at the options in front of them. [color=7ea7d8]"I would hear the words of my fellow creators first."[/color] Grey told the group assembled.
