An hour later, Samsonov sat with hands clasped before him on the desk. His rage had subsided for the moment, but it still burned below the surface. “Wolf’s Dragoons have embarrassed and insulted me too many times,” he said. “I will see them destroyed.”

Akuma drew back from the warlord’s coldly spoken resolution. He too wanted the Dragoons destroyed, but to him, it was not personal. Their destruction was a way to hurt Tetsuhara. Such a destruction was a thing to be carefully planned. It was a step-by-step process. A thousand little details orchestrated until there was no escape. Small bits might go awry, but the gathering momentum had to be nursed until nothing could stop it. Rash actions taken in a fit of anger were more likely to go wrong and upset the plan. Such actions could be as dangerous to the destroyer as to his target. If Samsonov did something foolish, the two of them could get “invited onward.”

Akuma had no intention of slitting his own belly. He sought to caution Samsonov. “Is that wise without the Coordinator’s leave?”

“No,” the warlord said. “No, it isn’t.” A rare smile of pleasure creased Samsonov’s face. Akuma hoped it signified the dawn of a brilliant plan, and not simply the anticipation of bloodletting. “We’ll just have to be subtle about it.” He laughed harshly. “Call the Precentor back.”

Though Akuma feared he had lost control of the warlord, he had no choice but continue to do his bidding.
