Dominate/charm the cattle as needed.2) Put the rest to the sword, raze the cities, and salt the ground. 2 less areas to defend, and the Valloreans aren't going to get any use out of them anyway. Besides, there's a chance that the peasants would have turned against us.3) Inform the 24 Lords and the Wang-Liang leaders that they are in charge of the actual tactics once the battle begins. I plan on being as far away from the battlefield as possible, as do my 12 elite advisors. Encourage them to use guerilla tactics; I want them to take 2 Valloreans for each of our troops lost.4) Take a couple hundred human soldiers, and have the vampires dominate them. Infect them with some sort of plague, and order them to defect to the Vallorean's side. Make sure to wipe their minds of any knowledge of our actual numbers. By the time the Valloreans have taken them in, the plague should have reached full virulence.Once the battle begins:5) My 12 advisors and I will retreat to a specially prepared refuge hundreds of miles from the actual battle, set up plenty of wards, and scry on the battle from afar. I expect most of our forces to be obliterated; these are acceptable losses. They will easily weaken the Vallorean forces to a point where Lord Mallenar can deal with them.What, you thought I was actually going to put myself at risk, or do the actual clean-up work? I'm evil, remember?6) Hatch a way to slay Mallenar while the battle rages.7) After Mallenar returns and cleans up the remaining Valloreans, return from my refuge and kill him, claiming his title. Then have my 12 advisors put to the sword; if they'd betray Mallenar, they'll also betray me, and I can't have that.</blockquote>
