Warlords: Strategic Conquest
"An Arranged Marriage...well, yes I...guess we could do that. I will wed my firstborn to your first child of the opposite sex."
Toleron announces, "May they live in a world of prosperity and peace, and may our friendship last for eternity."
You return home with an arranged marriage for your child. Unfortunately, it holds no sway in international relations. Some desperate renegade warlords see this soft alliance as a sign of weakness and invade your territory. Your army fends off the first few advances, but your kingdom's morale plunges. Then consecutive attacks by larger armies penetrate deeper into your territory. Not having enough consequential alliances ultimately dooms your efforts to rule China.
The invaders set fire to your villages, pillage your cities, and generally wreak havoc on your people. Your minor allies provide as much military assistance as they can but are overwhelmed by the numerous opportunists taking advantage of your multiple fronts. Your citizens flee to Toleron's territory as refugees. In the face of impending defeat, many of your soldiers desert your army as well.
Your last stand comes when a band of mercenaries attack your castle. You can hear them destroying your installations and ransacking your castle from inside your room. You try to come up with something clever to say to their leader. Before you know it, there are shadows of torches outside your room.
"President Min. It is my pleasure to finally meet you," one chap in an orange helmet says. "With you out of the way, I will be another step closer to conquering China!"
You plead. "Let me join your army as an adviser. I am very knowledgeable about this local area. I will not forget your generosity."
"I have enough talented advisers. Besides, I don't trust you."
He arcs his sword through the air at your head. You manage to duck out of the way. It is only a temporary reprieve however as several men, including the one in the orange helmet, surround you and savagely slice you to pieces.
