"Of course!" The Prachten head representative bowed his head, making sure to show no signs of offense to the guild or the gods.
"We'll accept the terms also," added the Iscantor Vizor.
"Then this is what will take place now." Vixus explained, "You now fly the Trodan flag, but you may still fly your own to represent your territory. You'll exist as separately governed states within Trodar. Though you'll have follow the laws of Trodar, you may petition for expectations or alterations within your own territories. You'll form a council to run your territory, whose top three representatives will now be a part of the Trodan Council. The territory containing Gilga will be named after it's new, rising megacity. All four states, Gilga, Prachten, Iscantor, and Limneer, will make up Trodar.
"As a side note, know that the Leisure Guild will open and construct new branches in each of your capitals. Similar to how the Adventurers Association functioned before the battle of Federal City, you'll be able to hire the guild or seek aid from them in times of emergency," continued Vixus. "Also, as we promised, we'll construct a marketplace within the guild's property so that elven traders and merchandise will become available to your territories."
Turning to the remaining half of the Limneer representatives, Vixus smiled warmly. "For those of you from Limneer, know that we hold no grudge against those that remain. Eedaj has already mentally purged you of anyone that would've brought you to ruin, so we're glad to be working with you all from now on.
"We already know about the struggle that you're facing now, including the shortage of food and resources due to the forest fire that resulted from Trodar defending the border," Vixus added, letting the Limneer representatives feel more at ease. "As proof that we still respect those remaining in Limneer, allow me to introduce the manager that's will direct the Leisure Guild's Limneer branch."
That same side door from earlier opened, grabbing everyone's attention. When the remaining people from Limneer recognized the man entering the room, the load on their hearts was lightened.
"As some of you may know, I'm Dirk Capush, the former assistant to the late General Toms. From now on, I'll be in your care," introducing himself with a proud bow, Dirk gladly greeted some of his old friends.
"Dirk! You're alive?!" One of the remaining family heads was floored to see his childhood friend still alive.
"Yes, very much so," chuckled Dirk. "Along with other experts from the Leisure guild, I'll gladly be serving Limneer. But this time in a manner that the people of Limneer deserve."
"You mean… we'll be able to travel to and from each territory using teleportation magic? That's amazing!" Prachten's head representative was overjoyed to hear such great news, as was everyone else.
Nodding, Vixus continued, "The conditions of use are this. Only legitimate citizens of Trodar may access it, or official trading partners of Trodar and the Leisure Guild. To prove that, each citizen will take a simple, free test to receive a Trodan emblem as proof of citizenship. Should the emblem be lost they can simply retake the test and receive a new emblem for a fee of one silver."
"A test? Why a test?" asked the Iscantor Vizor.
"To ensure the safety of our guild and Trodar as a whole," answered Vixus. "The test comprises mainly of two things. They'll be tested for being a member of the Chaos Syndicate and the Adventurers Association. No member of either may enter a guild property without special permission and most definitely cannot use the teleportation services. Should someone use an emblem not linked to them, then they'll face a trial as to why they would attempt such a thing."
"Understood!" The Iscantor Vizor sighed, happy to know how secure the Leisure Guild was acting.
"With that being said, let us end this war conference. Prepare to announce your fealties within the week to your people and begin your elections for council members immediately," stated Vixus. "I look forward to seeing you all again and thank you for joining our efforts in elevating Trodar to a supreme standard. In the courtyard outside a banquet is waiting for those who wish to stay and talk with each other."
Everyone raised from their seats as many started to pile out of the room and into the courtyard. Some went slower, finding some people to chat with as they followed the crowd. Others stayed behind and waited to speak with those from Trodar.
While Vixus and the higher-ups from the guild eventually joined everyone in the courtyard, Rydel gathered the party, as well as Argyle who stayed with Eliza. "Everyone, I've got some news about Reinolt."
"I'm in!" Maynard shouted. "It's war, right? I already know what ya want to say, so count me in!"
"I guess I'll tag along then," Trax shrugged and smiled.
Zariff sighed, "I shouldn't… I'm barely lv. 30 now…"
Chuckling, Rydel looked to the women and asked, "Well, I wanted to ask who would join me in fighting Zuran. Do you three want to tag along?"
"Yes!" Daliea answered right away.
Maura did the same, "Of course! But not unless--"
"I've already told Tridon that we're not fully committed to the war, so don't worry about that," added Rydel. "Zuran somehow gained another few hundred soldiers and will get overrun soon. With us as reinforcements, they should be fine for now or at least until we can expand the borders and make room for them."
Eliza wanted to respond, but she turned to her father instead. "Can I go, please…?"
"Sure, but I'm coming too!" Argyle shouted with a smile. "But we'll have to convince her too, won't we…"
"I'm sure you can figure that out. Just offer her something she wants and maybe she'll give in a little," stated Eliza.
"But what do I have to offer a god?"
"Well… I didn't mention this before, but she's always wanted to have a child. That's how--"
"Whoa!" Putting his hands up in objection, Argyle replied, "Calm down, that's a bit much."
"What's wrong with that? I've always wanted a sister, so why not?" Eliza asked, showing her father a pouty face.
"Either way, let's go see Moranti and the others. Without them, we won't be able to make it in time to help," stated Rydel, leading everyone out of the conference room. "Is Lina still with Erina and Willim?"
"Yeah," Maura answered. "Let's go get her. I'm sure she'd like to tag along."
The party walked through the halls with haste, making sure to find the correct room. They knocked and the door swung open before they could ask permission to enter.
"Big Sisters! Are you here to play with me and Erina?" Lina asked, giving each of the women a hug.
"Not right now, Lina. We're going to Reinolt to help their war effort," Rydel spoke up.
"Does that mean the Leisure Guild is willing to get involved in another nation's wars?" Sitting on a couch, Prince Willim looked to those entering the room with pleading eyes. "If so, can I ask you to help Aazoon as well?"
"That's a tall order… Do you know the situation in Aazoon at the moment? We would need more information," stated Rydel.
Willim nodded. "Father hasn't contacted us since his small chat with Jack, but I got some information from others in the palace. Amazon managed to avoid war with some of the surrounding nations and may soon create an alliance of kingdoms. But Maldor changed everything when they attacked out of the blue."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Of course!" The Prachten head representative bowed his head, making sure to show no signs of offense to the guild or the gods.
