The Dolshkovian kingdom was doing very well. The news of the battle against the Serbs and the surrender spread quickly through the streets of Dolshkograd, quickly becoming a national joke. Nontheless, the king kept his promise and treated the Serbs very fairly, even giving their ex-ruler the title of noble. The acquisition of Slovenia went very well, but the rebuttal in Greece was a bit worrisome.
Meanwhile, rumors were circulating of a powerful tribe in the North known as the Rus who planned to expand into the Balkans. At first, King AAminion00 dismissed these stories, but when his own generals began to believe them, he called a conference in the grand hall of Dolhskograd university, the only part that was finished.
"They're supposevly called the Rus sir" said Hertzeg, the Hum noble.
"Yes, yes, I know. I've heard of them. They're a large slavic tribe from the North. Not too different from us"
"Sir, they seem to want to expand into the Balkans..."
"What? But The Balkans are far away from Russia. Besides, the Balkans have Dolshkovia written all over them..."
"Are you suggesting war against the Russians sir??"
"Of course not! Merely that we need to secure our interests in the Balkans, and quickly, before the Russians get here!"
And so it was arranged. The new troops and the Dolshkos in Serbia and the ones retreating from Greece, were to expand Northeast from every section of the empire. From Croatia, to Macedonia, Dolshkovian soldiers pushed Northwest to secure more territory, so as to stop Dolshkovia from ever being too thin. Only the Dolshkos in Slovenia expanded in a different direction, and this was Northwest, into Southern Germany.
Meanwhile, along with the educational university in Dolshkograd, an economic wonder was started in Dubrovnik. The Fleet of Dubrovnik would increase the economy by 2 and would be done in 5 turns (considering that energy still had to go to the university).
Meanwhile, Greece wasn't completely out of the picture. The new technologies kindly given to Dolshkovia by the Poles and Romans had allowed for a brand new type of warrior. The MOUNTED DOLSHKO!! Dolshkos on horseback with shields and spears were fast and fierce warriors with great defense as well. King AAminion00 ordered the recruitement of 100 youth to serve in the Mounted Dolshko regiment. This powerful and well trained group would march into Greece and teach those fools down there a lesson. Of course, once their soldiers were humiliated on the battlefield and weapons burned, they would be allowed to have the same treatment as all other members of the empire
