The walls were teeming with armed Azdaha troops, as I came to think of them rather quickly. They were a sight to behold, all clothed in the same black and red accented leather clothing. Just how had they procured such an amount of armor in this short of a time was beyond me.

A couple of the soldiers recognized me as I floated there in mid-air before them.

"Sound the gong! Lord Ivan is here!" one of them said before he stood at attention. "My Lord! We're almost ready for you!"

I nodded and landed beside the man, put my hand on his shoulder, and squeezed just enough for it to hurt.

"You seek Petrov out later and say I told you to report to him directly. You'll serve under him."

"M-My Lord!" he squirmed nodding frantically.

"Good," I said and offered him the last couple of drops that hadn't coagulated yet. He didn't understand, so I forced it into his mouth. In mere seconds, he stood taller and broader as the blood did what it was supposed to. Why was I even doing this? Sure, I wanted my troops to fear and respect me, but offering something as valuable to random strangers was beyond me.

I walked past him and jumped down the battlements. Rasnov truly was a marvelous fortress, I thought observing the walls, the towers, the gate, and even the inner walls. There were four barracks located in between the inner and outer walls, but from the looks of it, barely half of them had a roof over their heads. Hundreds were busy working along the walls, setting up skeletons of buildings, while others worked at the square digging what looked like wells.

"How interesting," I muttered, walking up to the nearest well and peeked in. Just how had they managed to dig those holes so precisely all the way to the cold, fresh water. At least I had to give them a little bit of respect for that venture. Speaking of which, we'd need a couple at Bran.

"So you're finally here!" Tierney called from up ahead. "I was worried you'd sleep it off." I couldn't help but wink at her.

"I assume you've already taken care of most things here?"

She nodded just as Freya walked up to us.

"We have. All that's left is to go back to Zharevo and set up the moving orders. I don't think we have anything else to do here anyway."

"Yeah. We found Gamayun, and I've visited my-- our second in command over my old people. He sent out orders to all of my subsidiaries to move everything here and to a port town which we hold. After all, piracy is very profitable."

"Make sure the land in between that port town and this castle is ours. The next step is to spread our influence to the North and South from that road. I want Wallachia under my thumb as soon as possible."

"My Lord," she replied earnestly. "It will take a while, and don't get me wrong. You can conquer all of it, but people won't support you.
