"OK. send 200 soldiers at once!"
200 soldiers marched and put the Vigarhishan flag higher than all the others. the southerners surrendered quickly, and Vigarhisha was starting to grow a bit larger.

Emperor Dasha laughed as his spy arrived on horseback with the news, "Hmm so a greedy king is trying to conquer most of Europe with an army of 600. Well send 800 warriors out there and vanquish this tyrant's army by the time they reach you, they'll be tired of their marching." He laughed again "If he wanted more land he could just conquer his neighbors not mine, now go inform the commander." The spy left the emperors presence as a military captain entered the room.

"Your Highness, are spears and swords are sharpened and we're ready to take Iran. We must hurry and conquer them before a spy finds out about our plans."

Dasha laughed "Ok send 1,000 of you warriors to Iran, we shall offer a peaceful conquest, but if they retaliate with bloodshed, then we shall have war." With that said to the captain, he left the throne room.

King Zarif Srour gazed out of the decorative glass that was positioned in front of his throne, out towards the menacing, yet beautifully majestic Himalayan mountain range, with their snow capped peaks that glistened like the finest and purest sugar. In the middle of his view sat Jirtoyu, the mountain that would much later be renamed Everest. However, he psid little attention to this as, in the eastern-most reaches of the Kingdom, his armies were massed with their green fish-scale armor, red head bands, and their assortment of polished steel weapons, getting ready for a full scale invasion of the Chinese.

Meanwhile, his messenger he'd sent to the Imidiwan Republic was just arriving after his long travels. He patiently walked as the guards lead him to their leader Jibril. Zarif's messenger knelt, adjusting the turban he wore before unrolling the scroll he held before speaking.

"Jibril Ag Keddou, leader of the great Imidiwan Republic, fellow servant of Allah, King Zarif Srour of The Islamic Republic of Rhodarcand wishes to form terms of alliance between our two great Kingdoms in these times where unity ensures our survival."

Back in Rhodarcand, another messenger knelt before the king. "Your highness, the battle in China goes well. We've beaten the Chinese from our borders and have already secured the land across our borders."

The King only nodded. "Send General Al'Kazi my regards. It is impressive he should defeat the Chinese with an army of only two thousand and five centuries."

Shogun Kazuri Yamamoto was taking a walk in the gardens of his small estate located in central Kyoto. Just one year ago, his forces and those of his loyal Daimyos has besieged the city. At the time it belonged to a rivaling clan known as the Nara. The Nara were not completely beaten, however, for the time being they had been pushed back to the eastern portions of the island; a region currently lacking any central rule whatsoever. Western Japan was another matter of course.

Yamamoto came from an old and proud clan, who had dominated poltics in southern Japan for decades. His father Shigeru Yamamoto laid the foundations of the federation and upon taking his place as Head of the Osaka clans, Kazuri proclaimed himself "Shogun of the Federation if Nihon".

He smiled to himself when he remembered the reactions of the neighboring clans. A few had sworn fealty to him while others had gone to war against him. He used his hometown of Osaka as a base and scored several smaller victories early on. Then, one year ago, the combined forces of the Kyoto Clans and their allies had descended upon him.

Outnumbered two to one, Kazuri had been saved by his own strategic skills as well as by the lack of such skills among his enemies...

The result was the seizure of Kyoto by federal troops. Kazuri immediately made it the capital of his new Federation and went on to improve the infrastructure through land clearance, linking the various towns and cities with small dirt roads.

Summary:

The Federation of Nippon is a small clan based federation located in southern Japan. Kazuri Yamamoto is Shogun of this Federation. He himelf only administer two prefectures at the moment, the Osaka prefecture and the Kyoto prefecture. The other prefectures are ruled either by family members or by other Clans loyal directly to the Yamamoto clan. They maintain their own armies and pay for the maintenance of these forces by themselves. In other words, Nippon as it is now, is extremely decentralized.

Kazuri Yamamoto currently has 1.500 footsoldiers under his direct command. In times of war, with the aid of all his allies and vassals, this number could be increased to about 8.500.

The Federation of Nippon is putting a lot of resources on developing new methods of Agriculture, focusing on rice harvests. Fishing is also a primary source of food and income for many people.

The immediate threats to the Federation lies to the east. The Nara clan is based in Tokyo and there also several other clans who look at the Federation in awe...

The Great Rex, Arles de Paralansis sat on his large, decorative throne while listening to his Dux's argue to themselves about where to strike next. The most frequent area that came up was the South of Italy, although Sardinia was another attractive option. Finally, he decided that the fertile lands of the south were far more worth the conquest. He had chosen Dux Verlent de Aksas as his Commander for the battle as the Aksas family were reliable and fairly good at strategy.

"You should be able to take it with MM amount of soldiers" Said Arles to the Dux

"Of course Sire, the Barbarians will not last long against our Onslaught" Said the Dux, a large fellow with a bulging belly yet with an aura of strength and command that even the Rex could not inspire.

Arles dismissed all of the Dux's and Comes from his Throne room and sat idly, playing with his sword as he waited for further news.

Elsewhere, his army had arrived in Calabria and had began besieging the small castles and scourging the land of all barbarians deemed unfit. They would be taken back to Sicily for slavery as soon as they were fully broken in.

The caliph listened attentively to the messenger's message. He did everything he could to show that he was giving him his utmost attention; Leaning forward, squinting hard, etc. He found his words genuinely interesting.

By the end of the messenger's speech, Jibril held up his hand and spoke, in Berber, "Please hold while I discuss this matter with my advisors."

He then leaned towards Mossad Ag Sidek and whispered, "What did he say?"

Mossad replied, "He is proposing an alliance between Rhodarcand and our country."

"Is that so?"

Mossad nodded.

Jibril looked back at the messenger and said to him, "It would exponentially benefit us both if we ally ourselves against a world who so eager to send each other to ruins."

The caliph then arose from his seat. "I fully approve of this alliance, and God willing, we will stand united until the Apocalypse beckons."

"Now go home," Jibril requested. "I need to get on with my luncheon."

[New Republic of Egypt]

As the army of 600 men went across Europe,Destroying small villages in their way they were almost at their destination ,they would stop and extend their border of the Kliqorian Dynasty outside Petronyia and stop for now,As King Kliq was sitting at his throne his Kingdom being expanded by a large bit he thought about what his next action will be.

"Maybe Attack Petronyia and conquer some land?"He asked himself

"No,Too soon for war after this expansion"He said continuing to talk to him self

Then he got It!

"Invade The Roman Empire!"He yelled at an army chief

"Why?"He asked

"LAND,EXPANSION!CONTROL OF EUROPE!"He answered

"But..."He said before being interupted

"Dont Argue you always lose" He interupted"Now go invade the Roman Empire!"

"*sigh*How many men,sir"He asked

"Umm.. 2,000,Its a large empire"He answered

And with that the chief ordered 2000 men into Rome with the intent
of even more expansion.

[Knoxcrest]

With a small grin and a bow to the caliph, the messenger turned once more and was off again on his long journey back to the east and out of the palace, mounting his camel which he'd acquired in the middle east and turning his course towards the Himalaya Mountains, more than a good thousand miles away.

Meanwhile back at the palace in Rhodarcand, Zarif Srour stood on the roof of his majestic home, garbed in thick, long embroidered robes that were designed with a pattern of green Islamic crescent moons. He also wore a red turban, matching the primary color of the robes. He felt a chilly wind blowing past, a majority of his face being protected by the bear that adorned it. He'd been told to expect a carrier pigeon from General Al'Kazi, and he was growing impatient as the cool weather of the foothills of the Himalayas began to make him shiver. He spotted a small dot on the horizon, and an even smaller white dot flying beneath it, noticing that it was the carrier pigeon he was expecting. He patiently waited the few minutes it took the bird to arrive and flutter down to his outstretched palm, dropping the letter and being taken by the trainer at Srour's side. He opened the letter quickly.

Content, he nodded slowly and tucked the parchment into his robe. He turned, and made his way down the stairs that lead up to the roof, shutting the trap door behind him.

From the Roman Empire
Dear our valued friends to the north, the Roman Empire is unfortunately at war with three other nations. It is times like these we need support. This is where you come in. Those nations conquer us, they go for you next. You must support your allies in such turbulent times.

Meanwhile, the Emperor ordered every able-bodied man in the nation to step up and fight.

Zarif once again found himself on the roof of the palace, awaiting the arrival of another carrier pigeon. This one came much more quickly, however, as it wasn't coming from China, but the south. He held out his hand and the pigeon landed, dropping the parchment in his hands. He nodded, and the pigeon trainer took the bird once more and descended back into the palace below. He rolled open the report from his incognito soldiers within Vigarhisha. He had no reason to believe they'd be foolish enough to attempt and invade his land due to the massive natural barriers that blocked them off from side to side, but he was astonished by the report.

Zarif only nodded. He already had 3,000 of his warriors stationed near the mountains. He'd placed his finest archers high on ridges, and his pikemen filled in the gaps, so that the invading army would have the fight of the century on their hands trying to invade.

The Dux rode his mighty steed into the war camp, stationed outside of Cataranzo. Calabria was always nice this time of year and it would be the Regnums first conquest after a century of waiting. He looked at his Two Milleniums running around, setting up the camp and smiled. He had been sat in his Villa idly for far too long, this was his calling even if he was a bit fatter and older now.

Arles walked along through the garden of his villa, smiling faintly as he watched the hustle and bustle of Palermo. It brought a big grin to his face whenever any of his subjects saw him watching from afar and bowed. He was a well liked ruler, despite large taxes for the building of a fleet. Arles had plans to become a big power on the seas, he would need ships to take his men to the sardinian isles and the big desert below his land. He began writing a letter to the Grand King, who had so nicely agreed to their mutual treaty.
