Master Sima Yi, Incubi Master

"It seems my Lord Gargolmar wishes to see his most loyal servant. How may I help my Lord to achieve his goals today?" Gargolmar was standing in his quarters with Sima Yi, leader of the Incubi Cult under his command, and also his Chief Advisor. Gargolmar was wearing a black robe of the finest silk, and Sima Yi, a battered and old yellow robe.
  "Well, Sima Yi, I am planning to attack this monkeigh city called Ephrebe, and I would like to take your council on the situation first."
"If my Lord wishes to strengthen the defences of this Ephrebe, and enhance the moral of his people, he should attack immediately. But if he wishes to capture its riches, and enslave its population, he should not attack at all."
  "What? Explain your logic!"
  "As you wish. The people of Ephrebe, is divided. They are in a conflict that tears them apart. I believe it is about their religious beliefs. If you attack now, they will find a common enemy in you, and will stand together and thus they will be strengthened."
  "So what? Do I have to wait until they rip each other's throats out?"
  "Of course not. We should attack the city of Al-Khalum."
  "That city is a Isha-damned fortress! Do you have any suggestions on that?!"
  "If my Lord lets me explain further. The city of Al-Khalum is both a friend and an enemy to the city of Ephrebe. They support a side on their religious division. And they accuse the other side with consorting Xenos as they call it. We should use their suspicions as our weapon against them before our dark lances. If we plant one of our Raider transport secretly to a location near the eastern side of the city, and make it leave there in an exact moment, our victory can not be denied."
  "And that exact moment is?"
  "The arrival of Al-Khalumian ambassador.When they see our spacecraft leaving the city in a hurry, they will think they catched their opponent with their crime. But as we do not wish to wait for them to act, we will raid a supply outpost of Al-Khalumian origin. They think the position of this particular outpost is only known by them, and their ally city of Ephrebe. So when we attack, they will think the Ephrebians sold them out for a Xeno alliance. And thus we will see the flames of war burning very soon."
  "Ok I like the way this plan goes. But, the siege can take months. And we have to act fast."
  "We will act fast. When the monkeigh are fighting eachother on the walls of Ephrebe, we will raid Al-Khalum, and thus will gain a plunder greater than Ephrebe can provide, and also cutting the supply for the sieging army. And we will make that known to Ephrebians. So when the sieging army starts to retreat, they will follow with vengeance in their eyes, and then we will raid the city of Ephrebe."
  "Damn. Dont you think sometimes it is easier to just act fast and attack, instead of doing some crafty plans and waiting for this and that?"
  "No."
