After the attempted assassination was dealt with, the fleet of ships had no issue travelling to the Arman Empire.
At this moment, in the Arman Empire, the empire was surrounded on all sides by Empress Ruth and her armies.
"We do not need to fight," Ruth's voice, amplified by a voice amplifying runic artifact, resounded across. "Just submit to us, and this empire will become one of our vassal regions."
Ruth chose the best option.
She wanted the empire to become her vassal empire, not destroy its material, economic and human resources.
She would not go on a killing spree and kill the citizens and destroy regions of the Arman Empire unless she had to.
As long as Kailen Darkhaven decided to submit, she'd spare him, make him sign a rune oath, and he will become her subject who will enjoy many benefits.
If he rejected, she would kill him and everything he held dear, so they don't come looking for revenge in the future. After that , she'd take over the empire anyway.
