82 Dawn of War

Sitting in a tent forged by the Empires best is Three Suns with a map of the various planets in front of him, his goal to take over each one in this area of the north. He was given complete control of what methods he used, he knew this was a test of his leadership abilities going forward and was trying his best to not fail. His 'aid' Tia was here as his overseer while she usually had different opinions on how to deploy the troops, she had agreed with everything he proposed this time.

He was currently looking over his plans that he was to use to take over the world before him planet Har, the race that rules it is one of the few that retained complete control of their world in the north. They have resisted the armies of the humans and anyone who tried to conquer them, even with this Three Suns was ordered by the Emperor to capture this world without fail. Never has never heard the words without fail before from his Emperor but those words caused a fire to be lit under him.

"Tia change of plan! Instead of overwhelming them with numbers we shall seal off their world from everything else forcing them out. They rely on food from the neighboring planets in exchange for protection, so if we cut off their food supply would they not leave that damn fortress of a planet to not starve?" He said staring at Tia who he knew was someone sent to ensure the job got done.

"You are right we have two options before us, no matter which one we choose a war will happen. I agreed with your first plan as we have the numbers to overwhelm them to death but how much loss of life is that? You set down after I agreed to think of a better plan to finally use that brain of yours for something besides a straightforward fight. Good! Dashnell wishes to see you grow as he has plans for you, this was the best plan you could have made unless you suddenly became a True God and could break their defences on your own but how far away from that are you?"

She said puffing her chest out as she is has already broken into the True God realm like Valara and a few others, even if it was only recently.

"I am already a True God Lady Tia! Dashnell just told me never to tell anyone until he was in the southern territory, so from what I understand Timothy should also be revealing that he is a True God to Lady Valara."

As he kept talking Tia just set down and began talking with the others to confirm his words, and as she did Valara was already sending her a message asking if Three Suns was a True God. They kept it short but made sure to ask around to see if the other Generals under Dashnell were also at the True God realm.

Asking around took less than 2mins and after she was done Three Suns was still talking to her, she stopped his words. "Enough Three Suns! We will use both methods. You will break their fortress world open and surround them with our forces while we also seal off their supply of food. Before they grow desperate from the hunger we will offer them a deal that they can't refuse, Samara will be here shortly so let us set everything up."

Hearing her give out orders he knows his big reveal did not make her happy.

"Yes Lady Tia I shall carry out all orders to the best of my ability!" Turning into a bright orange light he disappeared from the tent.

Sitting down Tia sorts through the information she and the others were sending out and finds that her husband trained an army of True Gods without them knowing. Although he made no attempt to hide it, he never spoke about it so they could not punish him for finding out this way. Over all they counted more than 20 thousand True Gods under his control while they his wives only 60% were True Gods, they were not helping each other train as they were sure they were levels above the Generals. Only to find out the cold truth today that Dashnell assigned each of them a guard unit of True Gods that hid in the shadows protecting them.

From now on they decided to aid each other to grow stronger and no longer would depend on themselves as much, they also made it clear that Dashnell should pay for this one way or another!

High above the clouds of planet Har.

Three Suns looks at the barrier surrounding this world and beneath it the metallic ever evolving metal, that Dashnell has ordered him to secure without fail. This metal could evolve and become stronger when struck or damaged. The importance of this task caused him great worry, as he was never sure if he should just rip open the defences they thought could protect them or melt them to death to gain the metal. But he knew Dashnell would never accept that result he wanted the people who used this metal in their everyday lives to live, to gain a better understanding of it.

This meant that he could not cause to much hate to build up between his army and those protecting their homes. He floated there in the sky unsure of how he should carry out what he must do, when suddenly his wife appeared besides him leaning on his shoulder. "General why are you thinking so hard? All you have to do is break the barrier, that alone should not cause any deaths. After that only the metal would be there to protect them but so what they need food in order to live do they not.

Let them fear an invasion all we have to do is make sure nothing gets in or out of the planet after we destroy the Barrier, and by 'we' I mean you. So stop thinking so hard and launch your attack. With a wide smile on her face she advised her husband.

On planet Har

Inside a throne room many powers that use to hate each other could be seen gathered together today as they were no match for the enemies they faced alone.

"The forces outside are not what normally attack our world, they are stronger and smarter and within their ranks is various different races. I have already confirmed that humans are working with beastkin in that army, as you know those two races have slaughtered each other for trillions of years throughout this realm. We do not possess anyone above the True God realm on this world of ours, from what information we were able to gain before they cut us off from others is limited. They should all be Pathless Gods but our allies suggest they are a full army of Gods of Destruction and Creation.

They should not need an army this powerful for us mer ants, you should all know it is the metal their master wants. So we have gathered here as we most likely face extinction, do we fight or do we surrender!"

"We should fight! Do we even think they will spare anyone on the planet after they break the barrier?"

"I agree the humans must have told them how we never let them get any of the metal."

"Surrender would only mean extinction why not fight. We must fight for the future of our people!

"If that is how you feel we shall fight to the death with the invaders, the barrier should hold for a thousand years. The True Gods should be fighting another war against this armies True Gods, that should buy us the time to grow stronger. Select promising youths and have them undergo the metal liquid baptism, gather as many as possible we must produce a True God in the time we have!"

As they all nodded their heads and poured out countless unseen and priceless treasures, the barrier they were so sure would last at most a thousand years shattered. Before they could panic or check to see if it was a minor crack or a massive tear they heard a thunderous voice echo throughout their world.

"I am General Three Suns of the Dragon Empire! Under orders from my Emperor Dashnell Underwood I am to claim this world without fail, I am sure you understand what that means. I ask you natives of this world must there be a war between us? My Master only wants this metal, I am already a True God and I can easily cleanse this world of all organic life. That is not what I wish to do, that is something my Master has also restricts me from doing, I will give you 1 year to come to a decision.

From today forward until a year has past I will personally seal this world isolating you from any and all help, this will cut off all communication you will have with other worlds completely as well as your food supply. Emperor Dashnell allows all races into his Empire be it politics, military, economic..ect. Even I a former enemy has risen and regained power and influence. I hope your choice in the year to come is not one of loss, if you wish to meet me come to the Palace I set down you can't miss it."
