"No. It's a kingdom whose slave population is equal to, if not greater than, it's free population. Arming the beasts is an obvious tactic. Your plan, however, results in far too much mass death. Ours is a more focused goal." |
"Auntie, looking at what I know of the plan, I think there's a flaw, where it dovetails with mine: namely, that once a slave uprising starts, there will be an invasion. The beasts of the border are ready for it, and only awaiting an opportunity. Unless there are substantial garrisons manned by abolitionists who will stay on the border despite their nation being torn to shreds from within, it won't take long... perhaps half a year... for them to enter en masse." |
"Does anyone here honestly think we're the only forces being dispatched by the Emperor? However, the less you all know, the less you can reveal under torture, or reveal freely in an attempt to save your own skins. Now then, for those leaving soon, pack your things and prepare any inventory requests you have. For the rest of you, you can begin early prep work and otherwise enjoy a brief bit of relaxation." |

Harv slowly lowers his hand, hoping nobody saw it. _________________ So's Your Face! |
