Chapter 101: The Tournament Begins

Chand Gandraf explained his conquest plan to Akash, the king was amazed as well. There were three basic ways of conquering an independent land that every invading force employed. Military conquest, establishment of a puppet monarch or puppet government and lastly economical invasion.

The first way is the most common way where nations or organizations used their overwhelming military might to take over and rule the land. This path naturally causes a lot of bloodshed and is the most chaotic way of conquest. The positive is a relatively quick victory if the invading force's military vastly outstrips the invaded, however, war always begets immeasurable amounts of casualties, both in terms of lives lost and a ravaged land. Following the war's end, civil unrest and hatred fester among the survivors, and the latter especially can last for generations, often leading to revolutions.
