With that thought, it seems not so absurd after all.
Alchemy City was indeed formidable, allowing those fanatics to coexist peacefully for many years. But now, with the destruction of Alchemy City and the loss of its suppressive force, the side effects of freedom of belief are about to explode.
Amberser studied the map for a while and decided to start by troubling the Storm Family.
The reason was simple: they were the closest.
The other two families were quite far from Amberser's territory, not only separated by the lands of several smaller lords, but the roads were also in poor condition. Even if a Teleportation Circle could be established, distance would remain an issue.
Since all three families were crazed, he might as well pick the nearest one.
Amberser planned to first gather some information to see how many troops the large family had and if there were any formidable professions, and so on.
