GreyFox the II
The sun rises over the tiny Spanish empire, as GreyFox the II paced up and down in his chambers.
"Things are not looking good, Prime Minister."
"Why, Sire?"
"We are running out of land, and there is a barbarian axeman near the lightly defended Barcelona"
"Don't worry, Sire, reports are back. The barbarian axeman stopped to pillage our road, and the General has ordered our own axeman to engage the enemy. Last I heard is we have won."
"Alright, that is one less problem to worry about."
"You worry too much, Sire. Everything is in order."
"Really? Look at this. Cyrus is sending out his settler again. We have no more land for ourselves! How are the spainish people going to expand?"
"Reports have it that he had turned back. Don't worry! I have also ordered Madrid to start another colonization expedition, after the buddhist Missionary is sent out to Serville."
"That's a relief. But I got a message from Luois last night. He has demanded that we cancel our deals with Cyrus ..."
"Never, sire. Louis can go jump around in his ackyard, we are at better relationship with the Persians anyway. They are our brothers of faith."
"True, but we may be forced to attack Persians ... "
"That won't happen, we are too weak to take on anybody."
"Then, please order a bararcks after the settler is built, would you? Its time we serious train our army."
"Your wish is my commd, sire. Our army is also ready to be trained to used horses in battle."
"That is good. I heard that salad-eating roman has founded Code of Laws."
"Yes, which was why I decided to switch us to alphabet. I think we should go for literature and build ourselves a Great Library."
"That's far too long ... I am more worried about our land shortage problem."
"I have draw out a plan on our colonization effort, sire."
"We could go for the red site. It will gain us access to cows and corns, good for growing, and will also halt the Persian's expansions."
"Another alternative is the purple site, sire. This will convert the desert into useful land, and gain us access to spices."
"But that is useless. There is no food, and our people don't know how to cook using spices..."
GreyFox II let out a long sigh.
"Look at this:
The world is full of resources, but look at these:
Our land is so small ..."
"Sire, you shouldn't worry so much. You have to be careful with your health ..."
"You are right, Prime Minister. I need to go somewhere to recuperate. I can't lead my people to greatness with this health, can I?"
"No, sire, you can't."
"OK, have Woobi prepare to overlook the state matters. I am going to take a ong rest ..."
