As I said to that goddess, I will be a king. And in order to be a king I need land. I've always been good at playing kingdom building games. This is just like that just a tad more... real. For a kingdom of any kind to be successful you need three things. Money, resources, and people. Yea that's the hard part, as easy as it is to kill a bunch of innocent civilians I will not do it. Instead we'll take over a city. That would be the reason for me standing in front of the town wall with my troops. About 200 hundred strong. Now I always like the way Spartans in ancient Greece fought so I'm going to implement that strategy here. The 200 troops were split into 4 squads of 50 each. In each squad there are 30 foot men equipped with spears, swords and shields, behind them stand 10 archers, 5 mages and 4 healers. Now i know what your thinking, "healers? Really? That'll do more harm then good." And normally you'd be right, However these healers don't cast light magic. Instead they cast death magic. Meaning that they heal the undead and harm the living. Although when we need healing I tend to keep the healers focused on that and not on harming living things. I was human once after all... And for the final unit. That would be the captains of each group, Undead cavalry Dullahans one and all. Five dullahan's in-total.

As I walked to my generals who stood at the top of the hill over looking the town I called out, "Joan what are we looking at here?" Joan(The dullahan from before) Said, "Around 1,000 guards and 5,000 civilians. 2 gates north and south sides, 50 guards apiece. From the scouts it has been confirmed that around 3/4's of the guards are corrupt and undeserving of mercy." A smile broke out on my face, "Good. Good. Commence with the plan. I want to be inside that city before dawn beaks tomorrow. Understood?" Joan also smiled, "Of course sir. We already started, Group 1 is working on..." Joan was interrupted by the communicator around his wrist. Every group had one, "General Joan, Captain Foreman of group one sir!" Joan's eye's narrowed, "What is it! Speak quickly the king is listening!" They had begun to refer to me as the king after the slaughter that happened one the first day I was here. It worked often for instance Foreman cute the shit and spoke fast, "YES SIR! Group one has completed the mission sir! sending the list now!" And with that a small magic circle appeared before us and with a gentle, poof!, A scroll appeared. "Received move to phase two!" Joan said fast the moment he saw the scroll appear. "Yes sir! Hail the Reaper!" That would be my other title... Sadly. Anyway phase 2. This is were we take the gates and slaughter everyone! Just kidding.

Nah but seriously though phase 2 is were we kidnap all of the good guards and kill all of the bad ones. Then we take the city. As it stands though... This next part will be fun. I turned and yelled out across the plains to my troops, "Soldiers! That's what you are! even in death you pulled yourselves from those pits with a fervent d.e.s.i.r.e! So strong was your will that it called to my SOUL! This call I answered by drawing you forth once more. to fight again! This time your soul... Your WILL is what drives your body! Morals are for the weak! some may say. Yet you who stand before me know that morals are what stands between man, and beast. Thus I ask of you only one thing... Keep your will strong keep your morals intact! and march fourth! show those who are evil that we are their guides to hell! And show those who are kind, who are benevolent that we are not to be feared but be respected. Go fourth men, I Shall march with you! Together we shall take this town as our own and start a new world by tearing out the hearts of our enemy's! and reviving those who DESERVE TO BE ONE OF US! FOR HONOR! MARCH AS ONE! FOR WE ARE THE UNDEAD! WE DO NOT HAVE A FEAR OF MEN! SHOW THEM THAT! SHOW THEM THE HEARTLESSNESS WE BEAR TOWARDS COWARDS AND CORRUPTION!" The small force before me roared in agreement, we began marching forward, Me at the forefront.

Upon our arrival at the gate a cry of alarm sounded because the gate was open, and those who were supposed to protect it were gone. Funny, The citizens don't seem all that surprised by this. The women start to cry children are pushed behind their parents, It all reeks of fear. And that's okay, soon I shall put those fears to rest. We soon stood before the mansion. All of the guards knelt before me. The good guy's on the right the bad ones on the left. Behind me though instead of my troops stood the towns people. That's right my men stood at the wall, all of them besides group 1. "Captain if you will please read every one here's crimes please." Foreman Step fast and spoke quick, "Yes sir!" And so he began. Some were rapist others were murderer's there were even a couple deserters... the old captain though was my favorite. He was also the last, "Captain Geal. Murder, ****, kidnapping, human trafficking, arsonist," I know typical stuff right... It gets better. "Pedophilia, and child molestation and child trafficking." There they are. The crowed went silent for but a moment before charging forward... They wanted him dead. However they all stopped when I said, " There are still 250 men to be read." Everyone went still. "after them the punishments will be dealt.

The 250 men stood tall before me not one willing to beg or grovel for their lives. Good. "You cut a sorry figure their boys. Might I ask one thing?" They nodded, "What did you swear to protect when you became a guard? Was it the crown? the law? the church?" One young man about the age of 20-25 stepped fourth and stated, "We swore to protect the people and this city. No one is above the law, nor is any below it." With that all 249 other men stepped forward as one and said, "WE SERVE NOT THE CROWN! WE SERVE NOT OUR POCKETS! WE SERVE THE PEOPLE! WE PROTECT THE PEOPLE! WE WOULD RATHER DIE THAN LET HARM COME TO THIS CITY AND IT'S CITIZENS!" A smile blossomed on my face a laugh escaped my mouth. point at the boy. No the man that came forward first and asked him his name, "Sarg. Monro." "Well, Sarg. you just got a promotion to captain of the guard. Cap. Forman!" In stunned silence the crowed and the 250 men watch as they were released without hassle one of them was even promote... " Now as for you..." I turned towards the other 750 convicts, "The only sentence I am willing to give is death. For all of you. And with that I waved my hand a massive death curse spread out and killed all of them but one. "you though... You should suffer." I cut the old cap with a ceremonial dagger that the priest had on him when we killed him. "I wonder what the knife will bring. After all the priest drew an angel for a quick death but you..." "Oh! oh ho ho ho! Fitting! it would seem to be hell hounds... Did you know that they tear apart your soul as well as your body?" I smiled as the cap's eye's widened. This was going to be painful. When the hounds arrived I turned to the now deadly silent people. "What is it?" I asked, "Might you have a problem with the sentence?"

Monro stepped forward, "We wish to know what will become of the dead. and of us." I smiled again, "the dead will stay dead I only bring back those worthy of it... as for all of you... You will now be under my rule. I am fenier By the way. King of te undead champion of death himself." Everyone was silent but then a sudden cheer? "Finally that bastard of a king will no longer rule us!" Monro raised is hand and the crowed quieted, "One more thing. What's your view on other species?" At this I raised an eyebrow, "You mean all the Fallen, Demons, Orcs, and Oriona. That live here in this town?" Everyone went into a stunned silence. The people I spoke of though they came out of hiding, "So you knew?" "Of course I knew. That's why I targeted this place" I said, "I have no problem with them. In fact it's quite the opposite. I wish to make a place where all of you can live without discrimination. Hence why I started here."
