Brego, I've been thinking about expanding our influence into the western territories. Your battlefield discipline could be the key. What do you think about forging an alliance with the northern clans?

Good, you’re on the same page. Let’s keep our advantage by securing a few trade posts first, then use those to gauge their loyalty. If they play straight, we’ll move in—if not, we’ll cut them short and move on. Let's make sure our allies are already feeling the weight of our presence.

Nice. Keep those posts tight and watch for any signs of weakness. We’ll hit hard when they show loyalty, and when they try to hide, we’ll cut them off fast. That’s how we stay ahead.
