The question confused both beasts and One-Eyed Wolf asked for clarification.
"What do you an? Were you not going to take the position yourself?"
"No, I won't be here forever."
Akash replied.
"If that's the case, then I will take the seat in your stead and will act as your focal person."
Mamba didn't hesitate in nominating himself.
"I will not follow this wolf even as your focal person though. Either I'll follow you directly or I'll go back to Duke Gold Panther."
Akash knew the ti difference between both of the planets, a few months on Earth would be many years on Carnage Prison. That was the reason he didn't want to take on Black Dragon' position.
The System read his mind and explained.
*beep*
[The King should not worry, ti here will run exactly the sa as on Earth, once the King goes back to the headquarters.]
Akash raised one eyebrow.
"System, what do you an?"
[The ti of the training grounds is only affected when force mbers are present in them. If all of your subordinates leave it, then ti will remain unchanged.]
"I see, it's basically speeding up the ti of the planets we go into. Is Ancestor Turtle doing all of this or has he given you the power to do this?"
[The latter.]
Akash understood and looked at the beasts.
"How can I beco the duke of this land? Do I have to perform so ceremony or participate in so ritual?"
Red Mamba laughed.
"Haha, you already beca the duke the mont you killed Black Dragon. One can claim a dukedom by simply defeating the current duke and their army."
"So, they follow the law of the jungle here."
Akash thought before asking.
"Interesting, does that include kingdoms and empires as well?"
Red Mamba replied.
"Yes, there are no exceptions if you have enough power to defeat them."
"By the way, what is the na of this dukedom?"
Akash questioned.
"Every duke picks a new na for their conquered territory, you can simply na it after yourself, Akash Tagar Dukedom."
"Haha, no way, let think of a more suitable na."
Akash said before he pondered.
"How about V-Valley Dukedom, based on V-Valley, where we fought against the army of Black Dragon?"
Akash proposed.
"It doesn't matter what na you choose. What's important is whether we can defend it or not."
Red Mamba said before continuing.
"Every other dukedom will have their eyes on us now, since we are currently weakened and tired after winning this war, a perfect chance for them to attack us and take advantage. Little do they know, they'll just suffer defeat all the sa, heh."
"Are you sure we can win against anyone, in our current state especially?"
One-Eyed Wolf retorted to the boasting Mamba.
"I am one hundred percent sure that no dukedom will be able to annihilate us, except so of the big ones who are secretly aided by the kingdoms and empires."
Red Mamba replied.
Akash thought of sothing and asked.
"Do you know which dukedom belong to which kingdom or empire?"
Both shook their heads before the snake stated.
"It's a big secret to them, even an empire wouldn't know what would be the next move of the opposing sovereigns."
Akash raised his eyebrows.
"Then why did you speak of these big dukedoms as vassals of these higher sovereigns when it's unknown who is affiliated with who?"
"It's an assumption, they are too big and grow too rapidly. The only possible explanation is that they have so sort of backing."
Red Mamba replied.
Akash grinned and smiled.
"We will do the sa then."
"Sa what?"
One-Eyes Wolf asked
After which Akash explained.
"We will strike while the iron is hot. After announcing our new dukedom and its duke tomorrow, we will start preparing for another war.
If we maintain such a fast pace of conquering, others will surely assu that we have so backing by the empires and won't attack us for the ti being.
We will use that opportunity and conquer the other dukedoms one by one until we reach the kingdoms and are strong enough to face them."
"And you believe that the big dukedoms are stupid enough to silently watch and wait for their turn?"
The wolf retorted rudely.
He was irritated by the crazy ideas of Akash, who, in turn, stared back at him.
"I'd advise you to rember 2 things. Firstly, I do not like being talked to in that tone. I am the new duke here, not you, so better watch that tone. Secondly, when I plan sothing. I make sure to do it perfectly. No one will force you to fight for us, so if you are finding it difficult to accept our plans, then you can take your n and leave to live a peaceful life elsewhere."
Wolf lowered his head in guilt.
"I'm sorry, I didn't an that."
Akash Tagar looked back at Red Mamba.
"Mamba, what is the weakest dukedom in our vicinity?"
Mamba hissed.
"Currently, I'd say the Golden Panther Dukedom, where I ca from."
Akash laughed after hearing the na.
"Haha, you seem to have so issues with them or their duke."
Red Mamba laughed back.
"Haha, no, instead I respect the duke. However, he is a peace lover, the exact opposite of m..."
"Mamba!"
Akash glared at the snake with ferocious eyes.
"Are you ssing with ? You said yourself that you were sent here by that panther to conquer this land and now you are telling he hates wars? Let warn you, you better drop any ulterior motives you have towards as none of them will be of use against .
Red Mamba calmly replied.
"Duke Akash, please don't jump to conclusions. Let explain further."
Akash nodded.
"Continue then."
The forr carried on.
"It was who forced him to send the order to attack, both of us were from different dukedoms, we gathered ambitious beasts and conquered our own dukedom. He was stronger than and more suitable as a ruler, as such he beca the duke and I, his general.
His army consisted of 20 000 beasts, 10,000 of which were my people that I had brought here. You asked for the weakest dukedom, not the dukedom we should attack first. Golden Panther has the weakest dukedom currently with only 10,000 troops. However, there won't be any need to go to war with them for I will convince him myself to join us."
Akash comnted.
"Hmm, did you know you are quite good with words?"
Mamba smiled.
"Yes, I hear that a lot."
