A warning before war shows strength, not weakness. But what message do we send?
King Jo'Han
They must feel the weight of what’s to come.
Commander D'Shaw
*Firmly* Let it be simple: Leave this land, or the mountains will be the least of your fears."
King Jo'Han
*with a grim smile* Harsh, yet fair
King Jo'Han
The snows of these peaks have broken greater armies than theirs.
King Jo'Han
If they’re wise, they’ll turn back. If not...
King Jo'Han
*Voice grows colder*
We’ll make the Mountains of Himalayas their grave.
Commander D'Shaw
Shall I prepare the messenger, Your Majesty?
King Jo'Han
*Nods*
Yes. And make sure he speaks with the full authority of our crown. They must know this is their final warning.
The Commander bows slightly and exits the tent to carry out the order. The King remains by the map, staring at the mountains beyond, where the wind howls ominously, as if the land itself is waiting for the battle to begin.
