Kapitel 36: You Have No Option

"So what are the terms of this alliance?" Commander Kagiso asked.

Prince Theodore leaned forward slightly, his eyes locking onto Kagiso's with a sharp intensity. 

"The terms are straightforward, Commander," he began. "First and foremost, the Empire will provide your tribe with military training. Our officers will work directly with your warriors, teaching them modern tactics, strategies, and the effective use of advanced weaponry."

Kagiso nodded, his interest piqued. The Matalebe had always been fierce fighters, but the idea of gaining new skills and techniques from a powerful nation was tempting.

"In addition to training," Prince Theodore continued, "we will supply your forces with the latest weapons and ammunition. No more outdated rifles or makeshift explosives. You will have access to state-of-the-art firearms, heavy artillery, and even communication equipment that will allow your forces to coordinate better in the field."
