6 days have passed and the horses still trot towards the capital city of the Vekna Dynasty, the diplomat sat comfortably in his carriage while sorting some paperwork
"Sire!, we have arrived"
"Good" the diplomat whispered himself while stacking some paper and placing it in small leather bag....
Arriving at the capital of the Vekna empire deep within the lands of Malevolence Enclave, the Vampire guards halted the in bound convoy, the city walls were mighty tall made of stone and enforced with iron gates, certain areas had spikes to prevent climbing and some other unique traps
The diplomat exited his carriage and presented a piece of paper to the gate guards....the Vampire in heavy blood red armor and a long spear tucked behind his back toke the paper with a bit of force...
His snow white skin visible as he skimmed through the words with super speed
"Let them in, and inform the general" he spoke once done with his inspection and handed back the declaration paper....
With swiftness the carriage continued into the outer regions of city heading straight to the royal core where Nobles, and the emperor dwelled...the outer regions were busy with merchants from local clans and tribes and consumers, merchants made steady but low profits because of the threat of an invasion and increase in tax to fund the military and defenses of the royal capital...
More Vampire infantries and royal guards were recruited in a short span of time making them untrained and unprepared for battle, but the numbers were astonishing....
The commoners lived in bricked homes and had a central zone, this is where the guilds were Stationed, trade here was very poor as it could only be done during night...
And that's when bandits robbed carriages full of imported goods and exported, even merchants too....
The Diplomat was escorted towards the Royal core, this was guarded by royal pure blood Vampire Legionaires...very armored and skilled capable Vampire Infantry, each noble had atleast 10 of these guards, the emperor however had 200 under his belt for his protection....
The surroundings were full of mansions and royal courts, noble schools and councilors chambers....including the Royal palace...an ancient monument that's outlived its founder and descendants
"Your nation has brought blood to our doorsteps, how would a peace agreement suffice in your dire circumstance..."
"Councilor I understand you want to leverage this situation of ours to your advantage, but be just and fair....we have done so to our captives which are of your people....we spared the your race during the wars, even letting them go"
"I'm surprised by your courage to boldy state our future intentions on your nation...your are right we will leverage this opportunity in our favor, afterall your in desperate need of our military enforcement"
The Vekna councilors spoke with an ancient tone guided with wisdom and experience, they believed their demands were fair in exchange for a non-aggression pact and a military alliance
"What you ask is within our reach and capability but cannot be done in our current situation, I hope you understand"
"Yes We understand, the record has scripted and written down this negotiation and it's offers/demands, this is proof this meeting toke place and the pacts will take effective from this moment on"
"Oh and...as a gesture of kindness we prepared a room for the night in your name, I hope you enjoy your temporary stay"
Offering a nights stay was indeed genuine, afterall the diplomat was happy since he and his gaurds were exhausted from the journey...
Rooms were provided for each person including a portion of the Guards while others guarded the diplomats chambers...
Abyssal Dominion
Demon empire....
"Dread Sovereign Malachar of the Abyssal Dominion, our general and estimatedly 100 000 Royal Dark cavalry are on route to capture the ruined cities of the Velma empire, we move swifty into enemy lines and attack from both sides"
The Demon emperors ministers spoke with greed and excitement in their voices...
The news about a new army from the horizons burning every city of the Velma empire came as a surprise and there were many speculations as to which empire is responsible....
But this army had no symbol, and they no coordination or similarities, they were of different creatures never seen before...
At the foot of this destruction came opportunity for the Abyssal Dominion to expand and eradicate the Dark elfs permanently, they found this essential to fortify their military and economic power so they could launch a continental invasion on the human lands....
Having these cities would boost their power, wealth and influence by many folds, so capturing the ruined cities under their banner was essential
"Once we have control of their lands we will have a place to garrison and station our troops and resupply from the east, the south is already ours so we will attack this unknown enemy from both sides, east and west...bringing the full wrath of the Malachar empire sire"
"I agree with thy council, Two Frontal attacks from two different locations will put a strain on the enemy, and resupply our troops will be much easier as we will now control the western roads once owned by the eastern empire"
This conversation took place in a grand hall with exotic designs, the ministers...powerful men under the emperor made suggestions to move against Velma empire and Azathoth at once
They were served delicate food while discussing such matters....a line of naked females of all races on this planet strode into the grand chamber, they had iron collars and steeled shackles that had mysterious symbols on them, their movements hesitant but wary, a portion of them wounded and scared, some had dozens of scars on thier once pale backs, show casing that the spiked whips had no mercy on them when it came into contact with their fair skin....
They held trays in their shackled hands, these trays held feasts of delight to the demons
As found of their duties as they are they served each minister and the emperor but weren't allowed to leave yet, obviously because the meals weren't the only thing the demons were about to feast on....these slaves were also on the menu for these powerful entities
Fear and disgust was written all over their faces, tears visible.....but they withstood the torture and pain, as they were nothing more than slaves meant for harsh conditions....
