335 Alliance Part One

After destroying the first village, Alicia came to a decision. She took out a bronze mirror and a familiar face came into view. "Royal Father..."

"Alicia, is there an issue?" King Augustus was surprised to be contacted so soon by Alicia. She had not left the castle for that long.

"Yes, I am in… Wait, Blake what is this area called?" Alicia realized she had no idea where she even was. 

"Tribal Plains." Blake replied.

"I am in the Tribal Plains. I plan to wipe out most of the goblins and ogres in the area to reduce their numbers as much as possible. I want you to send a few squads out here to claim the area as Alastine's and build some forts here to keep the goblins and ogres out of the area." Alicia decided she would make this a piece of Alastine land but not for settlement but as a border to keep the women of Alastine from being kidnapped by these two races.

King Augustus let out a sigh. "It's not that simple. The area on the other side belongs to the Fey. If we start building forts they will think we are getting ready to invade." 

This was one of the reasons why he had never set up any forts on the trade routes. Humans were not banned from traveling through Fey territory. This was because merchants would stop and sell some goods to them. Things they could not get from within their own lands had to be bought from other countries. But no human has ever stepped foot inside a Fey city.

"This… Do not worry about it. I am heading to the Fey territory anyway. I will go as Alicia and not Alex. I am not human per se since I am celestial and cultivator mix. I will mediate the reason for us building these forts and sign a treaty that says we will never attack any Fey lands." Alicia did not want to war with the Fey but she also wanted to protect her people from being kidnapped again. "We can also make checkpoints to make sure no Fey are being kidnapped by humans as well. With more patrols, it will be harder for them to sell Fey on the black market." 

"Alright, I will leave it to you then. I will send a unit that is only loyal to me so I know that there will not be anyone corrupt within the ranks. If you run into any issues contact me." King Augustus felt this was a good idea. If they could gain an ally such as the Fey it would be very beneficial for Alastine. 

"I will. Thank you Royal Father and Dad… Make sure you get some sleep you have black bags under your eyes." Alicia had grown accustomed now to calling King Augustus, Royal Father when it had to deal with kingdom affairs and calling him dad when it was for personal things. 

"Alicia, is it okay if the area I burn never grows back?" Loeri asked she did not want to be yelled at for destroying an area.

"If it happens it happens. Just as long as you are safe. But try to control it to where the camps are if you can." Alicia replied as she stretched while getting ready to fly into the sky.

" I will do my best!" Loeri smiled as she began skipping towards a small goblin village off in the distance.

That day the Tribal Plains became a blood bath. Tens of thousands of goblins and ogres died under the assault of the three. Many more fled to mountains away from the lands of the Fey. This purge did not go unnoticed by the people of the Fey either.

Nhoshara Kingdom (The Land of the Fey) capital city Falsari…

"Queen Angelina, the humans of the Alastine Kingdom seem to be up to something in the Tribal plains. A group of powerful humans has been purging the goblins and ogres from the area." A man in black armor who was kneeling on the ground reported.

"Oh? It has been a long time since I have ventured out. I guess I will go find out what exactly these humans are up to." The person called Queen Angelina replied. She looked no more than eighteen years of age but her gaze held many years of wisdom. She was the vampire queen and the ruler of the Fey.

Tribal Plains…

"That seems to be it. The soldiers my Royal Father sent are now setting up a defensive line and erecting barriers. At least now people will be able to move through the plains freely. This will also help with warding off any kidnappings although Alastine is safe now from such things the Fey are not. So until I can speak to the ruler of the Fey and sign a treaty between the two nations, we will do our best to keep our own people in line. I would prefer it if the Fey sent soldiers out to help guard some of the forts as well with our own soldiers. This will help make our two countries become friendlier." Alicia wanted a joint effort between the two nations. She wanted to keep her own people from kidnapping Fey as well as keep her own people safe from the goblins and ogres. This purge was the first step towards this goal.

"Oh? You wish to create an alliance between Alastine and the Fey? On what authority do you have to make this happen?"
