"You were saying...?" Velmo spoke, his jaw resting on his fist while seated in his office chair.
"Neuk Barony destroyed my warehouse, delaying the delivery. They killed my soldiers and have been doing so for years," Alaric continued with a robotic look. "We only acted back to stop the killing of my people. That's what I said."
"And I am to believe you wiped out a barony of 400 soldiers with a measly 50 or so soldiers under you?" Velmo wasn't buying it.
"Well, I wouldn't say we wiped out 400 soldiers. They simply decided to follow me and not their master anymore."
"Because you murdered him."
"Pardon me, my lord, but I feel like you're obsessed with tiny details. A war happened, and one side lost. That should be all that needs to be known. The question now is, what are you going to do about a barony with no leader?"
Velmo stared, watching as Alaric continued to speak.
