Greed is Human (Kishu/A.G./Open)

[King Roxa Hiaten]

Roxa listened to the blades crashing and the slaughter above before stating "yes I am, but you must understand if we aremto stop the fighting we must first establish you as the rulng figure, to do this more blood has to be spilled I am afraid" he nodded respectfully at the man "but I assure you,'with my men at your side any battles that you will need to fight will be over swiftly" once again he nodded in respect, it was times like this that Roxan forgot he should be living the life of a teenager.

[Enizo]

"Even the most peaceful rulers need to wave the big stick around I suppose..." he thought on it for a moment before looking back up, "You may strike but under some conditions: If we attack it's against their leaders and bases only, I only want to see your men attacking the protesters if things turn to violent. Most of them are just young men who have no home or money and are just looking for a place in the society, I doubt most of them know who Duo is."

[King Roxa Hiaten]

Roxa nodded in agreement "my men are already under strict orders to only attack those who are aggressive towards innocents and even then they may only kill then when they are armed aswell, trust me when I say I want to avoid un-nessecary bloodshed but also believe me when I say that I have seen what Duo himself had done and if anyone tries to reap that on the world amongst the innocents then I personally will make sure it doesn't happen" Roxa clenched his fists at the thought.

[Enizo]

"You talk as if he's back..." he said thinking back, "The man who leads this group probably wishes he was Duo, yet he lacks the charismatic personality to rally a country and the power to put those against him in place. But he certainly has a sick mind enough to be him, I've seen... horrible things happen to people who go against him." He closed his eyes as if to block the images from entering his mind, "But may I ask something, why rally your support behind me and not the monarchy?"

[King Roxa Hiaten]

"I have heard good things of you" Roxa said looking back at Kal "Plus I believe a diplomatic approach to a country's leadership would be a good step forwards for Unda, this land has seen a lot of trouble and it's people need to see a change so as not to fear that the same thing is going to happen to them again" Roxa paused before continuing "my own unit of elite soldiers is run in a diplomatic fashion with Ayalan" he looked back at his ally "having as much a say as I do, a diplomacy is a lot more trustworthy than a monarch, a government can't become a tyrant easily"

[Enizo]

He nodded in agreement, it was clear that this boy knew what he was talking about. Kal finally came out of silence.

"I'm sorry to bring this up, but what things has he done?" Kal's question was odd and it took a moment for the man to answer.

"I witnessed first hand, he attacked my house and... it was like..." he began to have trouble explaining what happened before finding the words, "It was like he sucked the life out of my wife and children." He looked down so not to show the tears that began to form on his eyes.

Kal nodded in respect, "I apologize. But this means so much more," he said glancing at Roxa, "I believe this is one of the escaped prisoner." He referenced to the Tower of Salvation, advents largely unknown to the public.

[King Roxa Hiaten]

Roxa placed a reassuring hand on the mans shoulder "All the more reason we have to stop him" he said looking across at Kal before turning his gaze onto the man "I know what it is like to lose your family and I sympathise for you and I allso know that defeating the man will probably not bring them back but know this my friend, by stopping him we will also be cutting off the chance for him to do to someone else what he has done to you, I hope you can find some solace in that fact"

[Enizo]

"I understand," he said taking a glance at a map which was hanging on the wall, he raised his hand and pointed towards a tower that was placed on the map, "He's using that as a base. He's launched major attacks on the group that wants monarchy, news is a little foggy but I think he's killed many of their leaders. He has what's left of the Unda army on his side, I believe they plan to take over by occupying the islands... grand way of proclaiming yourself the leader."

He sighed, "I have both Government support, Navy support, and Public support, sadly the public is in fear of standing up, and without them I can't possibly make a reform... if you could remove their leader from power that will give the people more reason to stand behind me, I will portray it as guarding them and not scaring the people into submission. Is this asking to much?"

[King Roxa Hiaten]

"The navy will be a useful appendage in our plans" Roxa said turning to fact the map, he then placed a hand on his chin in thought before poking a finger at the beach on which he and his troops had landed "Do you think you could get them to swing a large force around here?" he asked raising an eyebrow "If you could then I could have Riliath take a much smaller fleet around towards the Ocean Cathedral, their leader will need to pull back men so as to repel the attack, I doubt he will care for the Cathedral itself but I'm sure he'll happily take the chance to have a go at a naval unit" He thought for some more time

"With that" he brought his finger across the map to the other side of the main island "The main fleet led by the rest of us could start a bombardment of the enemy's headquarters, the naval bombardment will continue until I, Aya, Kal and Enizo lead an infantry assault, no doubt on word of the assault the group defending the Cathedral will make their way towards us, that is when Riliath will pursue and hopefully defeat the reinforcements when they arrive, he will then reinforce the main assault"

[Enizo]

The man listened carefully as Roxa spoke, "The Navy has offered all ten of their Ship-of-the-Line class ships, along with smaller assault units they can certainly get wherever you want them to."

He waited a moment before speaking once more, "And what about me, what shall I do?"

[King Roxa Hiaten]

"I know not if you are an able fighter and nor do I plan to find out, I hope you don't take offense but we cannot risk your life by placing you on the front lines. I believe the best thing for you to do would be to stay here where it is safe, when we have finished our mission then I will send someone for you, then you can take the place that rightfully belongs to you..." He kept his eyes centred on the map for a moment before turning back to the man in front of him "You will take your most trusted political allies, and together you will form the first successful government of Unda, whether you choose to Prime Minister or President is completley up to you" He gave the man a massive smile "But make sure you choose the right party and rules, I don't wanna have to be back here in a few years time helping someone else over-throw you!" He gave him a wink before turning back to the map.

[Enizo]

He nodded and smiled, "I plan to run for the government, but it's up to the people."

Kal walked up to the small group, "As soon as it's safe I want you out calling how that the people have nothing to fear, I want you there to assure them that they're free to do what they want."

"I will," he nodded thoughtfully, looking at both Kal and Roxa, "When this works," he started with confidence, "I assure you that Unda will forever be willing to help you, economically and diplomatically, of course once we're in a suitable position to be able to help."

"Thank you," Kal said before looking at Roxa, "Let us begin this plan."

[King Roxa Hiaten]

Roxa looked across at a map which showed a closer blueprint of the Unda castle and started pondering over possible assaults on what was effectively fortress. "We should aim the naval bombardments for the castle battlements so as to halt any retaliatory strikes from their own cannons, then we should concentrate on the structural weak points, the gates for example, that will provide a opening for the strike force" he concentrated now on the inside of the castle and how best to take it.

"The throne room should be our priority, that is where we should find our enemy and if he is not there then we clear the rest f the castle room by room until we do find him" Roxa was back in his element, co-ordinating attacks against a great evil, for him it was almost like being in the Saints again...

[Enizo]

"The archers will pick off your men before they can get through the gate, Enizo and I can surely take care of them before the assault even begins." Kal nodded, knowing that Enizo and himself were the fastest in this room, "And we could also sabotage any weapons that could damper the attack."

[King Roxa Hiaten]

Roxa nodded towards Kal " if you can get rid of the archers, Riliaths cavalry force should have no problem smashing their way through the enemy infantry once they arrive" the only other problem Roxa could forsee was the possibility of them underestimating the enemy leader "From what our friend here has told us" he motioned to the politician "I'm assuming that our enemy is powerful, if this is the case, no-one is to engage him until we have all regrouped, we will hold the enemy forces off in the courtyard until our reinforcements arrive and then and only then do we try and attack him" his plan was not completely sound but if worse came to worse then he could use his greatswords that had defeated Grey on the tower, or utilise the shadow magic he used on Celtik
