Gantronese invaders

"Thank you for joining us. Your majesty, your highness and your excellency. The Gantronese are most happy you have added your realms to the Gantronese Empire. If it is peace you seek we shall bring peace to all your cities, and territories." Shogun Gao Innukai

"Pirates somehow have a hierarchy aboard their ships and privateer vessels. They sail in small fleets of three or four or go alone. Every vessel or cursed scum of a ship have a Captain, First Mate, Second Mate for some odd reason, Quarter Master, Officers, Boatswains, Pilots for the helm, Gunner, Carpenter, Navigator, Buccaneers, Raiders, Master n Arms, Sharks, Cooks, Surgeons, Deckhands, On-land Associates, and wanderers. This is not the correct order of the hierarchy, but you do understand." Magistrate of Western Koriv explained to the room full of Gantronese Higher Ranks.

"All I understand Magistrate is that I was not referring to you. Now leave this room unless you like to explain how 200 mutineers managed to leave the harbor." Shogun Gao Innukai said as his way to shut the Magistrate up who left the room.

"Aided by now less that 169 drugged students under the leadership of two trouble makers." A Daimyo added.

"Traitors the lot of them!" one of Koriv's young princes scoffed. He sat next to the main rulers of Koriv that was starting to divide into West and East. High Sultan Demir Can-Gabral , Elder Yogunay Gokmen, and Queen of Purity, Princess of Fecuvia, Sultan's Wife Denuu the Fecuvian Finch represented the Korivan-Fecuvian Sultanate.

"Calm yourself my son. They will be dealt with and executed." Demir said in a calm deep voice.

"How do we know Magistrate Agradier will remain loyal to Koriv and show his allegiance to our new allies?" The Prince protested gesturing at the the Gantronese in the room. The highest ranking Gantronese was Shogun Gao Innukai who somewhat resembled an upright humanoid octopus without the strange head.

Flanking the Shogun were two Shogun Generals Unnagi, and Gyun Ta Gashin. There was one Divine Admiral Zeetago Aigerul, four Daimyo in the room as well. Their names were not given as the Gantronese expressed to be short on time.

"If any of your subjects refuse our proposal for peace in their lands then you must lead them back. No ruler should reign with an ally such as us and have unruly subjects among their flocks, and herds of people." Gao went on appealing to the rulers of this Sultanate that was on the verge of civil war.

None of the other Gantronese higher ranks present spoke a single word. In the room on the side of the Shogun, and Daimyos were Shogun Generals with the octopus looking medals showing their success and great deeds. One Divine Admiral Marshall who had decorative sleeves for each limb, and a cutlass bearing tentacle style hilt, and guard. The Daimyos each came with two General Daimyo's in what appeared to be traditional square linked armor mixed with a fine robe. Each armed with the long curved sword known as a katana, or a detached claw. It's name represented a deity or great one's claw falling off and picked up by a Gantronese as a weapon. As for the rest of the Gantronese ranks a Grand General was present in his finest uniform lied with pins, and rings of nobles or kings he brought down in the name of the Gantronese. Generals, a High Colonel in the most modernized version of Gantronese uniform and several Colonels wearing caps that had the Gantronese symbol, a tentacle looking creature with the oval head and numerous tentacles. He sat in his chair quietly behind his uncle, the Sultan. Al-Beevun Karklith had Korivan blood, and a bit of Meze-Zegrav noble in him, which explained his darker skin, and name.

"I over heard a single Wizard is leading a force of 2,030 Uxane warriors, prowlers, blow gunners, archers, riflemen, club-man, trackers, scouts, and those cat riders. He also some 185 winged warriors from another part of this world, 2,200 rebels from various states, and thousands of other warriors who rallied to his cause. His forces have harassed Gantronese troops all over certain regions. Is this true? " He curiously revealed and asked the Gantronese in the room who remained calm. Karklith could still tell their expressions could not hide the anger within.

"Al-Beevun no, do not mock these Gantronese guests, they are allies!" a Mentor of the Prince warned him.

"I am merely asking Mentor, not mocking." Karlith replied to the bearded Mentor with the robes of knowledge, and the beads of wisdom around his neck.

"Excuse me are you a member of this family?" Gao asked politely. His skin did not have the pleasing texture peoples of this world had. It was light grayish with what appeared like scars all over it. No nose, and large eyes a ghost would have.

"No he is not, Al-Beevun leave us!" Sultan Can-Gabral demanded of the ward-son of his.

"Will Koriv remain an independent kingdom from this Grand Empire of the Gantronese." he asked getting up from his seat.

"That remains to be seen, however it could be a vassal our armies can protect from its own enemies." the Gantronese answered.

Al-Beevun tipped over his goblet over the table and exited the room. Wrapping his face with his shawl-poncho known as a Scarti, one many Koriv garments worn by all, the Ward made his way out of the Palace Of Foreign Affairs. Keeping his own face and body covered in an ugly colored Scarti that also acted as a cloak he reached the base of the Palace. Followed by his personal guard the Ward came to the shadows of a bridge of the city that linked it to the Palace grounds. There he met 40 of his own personal Uxane gunners who served him. With them was an old hermit looking man in a Korvatzi style straw hat, a cloak with a strange pattern, worn out travel boots. He held a long walking stick, and had company as well. Accompanying this old man a pair of female Holy Warriors in religious garb, and armed with sword and shield. Whoever this old man was he was a little too happy to have these women around. His hands kept touching them in appropriate places. Behind them were other fighters who accompanied them thirteen cloaked serpent knights bearing the green serpent dragon medallions around their necks.

"I am looking for the Wizard known as Kharli Kharchu the Nomadic Muskallan Sorcerer." Al-Beevun informed the old crazed hermit who was pocking at one of the female's buttocks.

"He no longer goes by that name, but is widely known as Mustang-Vulture who roams the continents of Aleon, Jurnis, Ottante, and the islands of the southern oceans." the hermit told the Koriv Ward just before he dove a hand inside the leggings of one of the women. Al-Beevun snatched his hand out of there so the hermit could take this meeting more seriously.

"Where can I find him then?" Al-Beevun demanded with a firm grip on the old man's wrist. it felt aged and bony yet strong from experience in life.

"You will have to find a rogue-ranger from the Vestrisian continent. A handsome stranger is what he is and well known as Dapper Prince." the hermit laughed at this with a wide grin on his old face. 

"Where can I find this Dapper Prince then?" Al-Beevun requested eager to find new allies for his resistance against future Gantronese rule.

"He mysteriously leaves without a trace. Only to return the next night." crazy old man about some handsome stranger who works for Mustang Vulture.

"Will he at least help with the Gantronese invaders?" Al-Beevun asked.

"Probably, go to Eoth, Grussia, and Vunnace. You see the Mulzaneen have already sided with the Gantronese Invaders."
