THE COUNCIL ROOM WAS ABUZZ WITH ANTICIPATION AS JIEUN STOOD AT THE HEAD OF THE TABLE, surrounded by the lords, knights, and commanders. The map before her depicted the divided regions of Valeor and Sunfell, each marked with the banners representing the major cities and houses. Jieun's gaze scanned the room, meeting the eyes of each person gathered, before she began addressing the assembly.
'My lords, esteemed commanders, and loyal knights,' Jieun's voice carried the weight of her determination. 'Our objective is clear ━ to reclaim the eastern throne and establish a just and rightful rule. To achieve this, we must seize strategic cities and secure our position.'
Jieun's finger traced the boundaries of Valeor, emphasising the importance of Dragon's Harbour. 'Dragon's Harbour is a vital trading city, their economic lifeline,' she explained. 'By cutting off their trading routes, we can severely hamper the resources and reinforcements available to our enemies. It must be taken swiftly.'
She shifted her attention to the capital city of Firestone, represented by the House Yang banner. 'Firestone, the seat of power in the east, is where the true claim to the throne lies,' Jieun stated firmly.
Her gaze then moved to the smaller cities in Valeor, starting with Old Citadel, held by House Kim. 'Old Citadel guards the eastern flank of Firestone,' she explained. 'Capturing it will secure our position and weaken the defences of House Yang.'
She continued to point at Duskheld, the border city between Valeor and Sunfell. 'Duskheld is strategically located, acting as a gateway between the regions,' Jieun stated. 'We must control this city to maintain our advance and prevent reinforcements from the south.'
Transitioning to the region of Sunfell, Jieun's tone grew even more resolute. 'In the south, Avaron, held by House Lee, serves as their stronghold,' she declared. 'We must take Avaron and remove the southern threat. Its fall will weaken their forces significantly.'
Lastly, Jieun addressed Faedral, the southwest outpost. 'Faedral cannot be overlooked,' she emphasized. 'By securing this outpost, we can effectively cut off their supply lines and limit their options for reinforcements.'
Jieun paused, her eyes scanning the room to ensure everyone was fully engaged. 'Our plan requires strategic coordination between our naval forces, focused on capturing Dragon's Harbour, and our ground forces, led by our esteemed lord commander, advancing towards Firestone, Old Citadel, Duskheld, Avaron, and Faedral,' she explained. 'By striking simultaneously, we shall overwhelm our opponents and establish our authority.'
