King: General!
As I am sure you are aware, we are on the brink of war with the savage Gorgons of the north.
Although we have had mutual trade for quite some time, they have grown ornery and ransacked our last few caravans as they crossed into Gorgon territory. Their armies have also been harassing travelers with heavy toll collections. I have heard great things about you, and so I am entrusting you with leading a small army into Gorgon borders in order to secure land for a strategic point if needed.
You will be capturing and establishing villages around two lakes.
Gorgons currently control most iron and gold mines and so we cannot afford a loss at the moment. If war is what becomes of this situation, then we shall have to strike quickly and aggressively. Be sure to see me immediately if you are victorious, however I am sure I do not need to stress the fact that if you suffer defeat, then there will be no place for you in the Delight Empire.
I wish you luck in your bout.
