Warlords: Strategic Conquest
"The self-serving Duke Dizen- consider it done. To chaos."
With that, he slips out of your room as quietly and stealthily as he entered. Later on, you question your guards but none of them noticed anything out of the ordinary. You chastise them for their incompetence and make plans to tighten up your palace security.
A few days later, you receive a scroll from one of Duke Dizen's messengers. You open it and it reads, "Duke Dizen, noble servant of the people, has died. He was fatally bitten by a poisonous cobra. Guards arrested a snake charmer dressed in black loitering near the Duke's tent. He refused to answer the guards' questions about his purpose for being in Duke Dizen's compound. The man was summarily executed on suspicion of assassination. A card with the pictograph of an eight-point star was later discovered on the snake charmer's body."
You burn the scroll and never mention this to anyone. You don't hear again from Iconoclast.
Without its leader, Dizen's territory becomes unstable and plunges once again into unrest. It was an average power to begin with and now becomes even more irrelevant.
You refocus your attention on making more allies. You still have no close ties with any strong warlords. You need to secure one soon to avoid being seen as an easy target by predatory warlords. By this time General Nahru and Governor Toleron are the only two in China powerful enough to be worth meeting with. Who do you visit first?
