"Oh Abbas... you and your straight forward hack and slash idea seems such a blunt thing... or unless you all are willing to send all of your forces into combat? Because I do not like that things are being kept from me..."

He hissed as he eyed at each of them.

Abbas said "Do not question my loyalty." he took a step forwards. "For it's all that I have left."

"Perhaps, it is you that are keeping things away from us," Khasian suggested. "I will send a reasonable amount of forces that is required to destroy or conquer Yithare but that is all."

"What are you implying khaisan? That I am the most untrustable of us all?"

He said raising a brow.

"We are all untrustable in various degrees," Khasian said. "I'm merely saying that you have not yet revealed everything to us. Not that I expected you to."

"Pardon me, dear friends..." Denaris intervened sardonically, putting both hands in the air. "Am I the only one who sees a rather large gap in our oh so ambitious plan to attack Yithare?" He raised an eyebrow, then continued with emphasis, "Imagine Yithare. Quite obviously the most powerful kingdom, and the others all know it. How many forces would rally around Yithare if they should wage war?"

He smiled and shrugged. "I suggest we attack Nauskal first. Secure our navy, then attack the remaining kingdoms from the waterfront."

"And that presumably would include the... elven realm from, which you were once banished from?"

Zelhar asked with a clever smile as it was obvious what Denaris was after.

"I agree," Khasian said in a hiss. "On Nauskal, may I start the opening barrage? I have prepared something for an occasion like this. Just don't attempt to enter the land until 14 days has passed. Otherwise you can join the poor souls there that will die. I have your leave, sir?" He finished, turning to Zelkhar.

Denaris painted a wounded expression. "I am wholly devoted to the Covenant, kitten" - he coughed - "Lord Zelkhar." He flicked a glance over at Khasian, who seemed so eager to expend his forces.

"Hmh... so that you could turn the place into your undead kingdom Khaisan? I do not think so, Abbas will go first along with your first attack. Whatever you plan it won`t be able to kill him nor his men unless you plan to explode all of the lands?"

Zelkhar inquired as this method was shadowy and Khaisan was unwilling to share it.

"The something doesn't turn anyone into the undead," Khasian coldly retorted "It just merely makes them fatally sick. I think I have some prisoners in my realm that have been exposed to it. Would you like to see them? Besides the desert does not appeal to me."

"The navy?" Khasian repeated. "That I can take care of. God, I always wanted to unleash them....they were getting so hungry. Naunla, is it possible you can group them all in one place, so I can take them out in one swift stroke."

Abbas forced hiw way back into the conversation "Yithare is a more sound target than you think. They are feared by all around them because of their power. Their neighbors may consider us the lesser of two evils."

"It seems dear friends that we stand in a conflict of interests..."

Zelkhar said with a pondering voice as he crossed his fingers and growled in slight frustration by this turn of events.

"Khaisan always seems to eager to play around with his new toys that we other have to drag him down to be calm as where Abbas wants to use brute strength to crack the matter. I myself would always prefer a more subtle approach to these matters, but I tell you what... Khaisan you can infect Nauskal to a certain degree as where my pirate friends take over a clean part of the lands. My friends in the seas you see need a safe heaven and Nauskal seems ideal...

Meanwhile the rest concentrate on Ytihare, it might take longer with Nauskal yet we have time as we break Yithare and I do consider Abbas to be wise in the matter that we might be the lesser of two evils yet.... brute force shall not be the answer in this case"

Abbas said "Maybe we could divide our strategy. I could launch large scale raids into Yithare to build up my manpower for the final invasion while you all clear up the south and west."
