Occupation | Slav metal, symphonic metal

Ascension of the Feldherr Following the successful integration of the Crimson Holds, several administrative concerns became apparent. The region contained: 🐻 bear infantry 🏰 five noble houses 📜 conflicting authorities ⚖️ questionable governance The Feldherr considered these arrangements for approximately three minutes. No further debate was deemed necessary. The campaign had concluded successfully. The forests had been pacified. The bears had been catalogued. The nobility had been informed that their opinions remained highly valued and entirely irrelevant. Several local aristocrats expected the appointment of a provincial governor. Others proposed a council. A small minority suggested preserving traditional autonomy. All proposals were rejected. The Feldherr instead announced a more efficient solution. "No one needs five different houses." Witnesses reported immediate concern. Construction of the new administrative center began shortly thereafter. Marble was imported. Imperial banners were raised. Several architects mysteriously discovered that all design proposals eventually led toward a throne room. When asked whether a portrait of the Overlord should be displayed above the throne, the Feldherr reportedly studied the matter with unusual seriousness. After several minutes he responded: "No, no, no." "Let's put my image there." The proposal passed unanimously. No second vote was conducted. The official justification cited: 📜 administrative clarity 📜 visual consistency 📜 symbolic continuity Unofficial reports suggest the Feldherr simply enjoyed the arrangement. The ceremony itself remained brief. No crown was required. No declaration was necessary. No opposition remained available. Upon assuming his new position, the Feldherr delivered the following statement: "I have won... again." "No, no, it's not that I get bored of winning." "It's simply the divine order." "After all, I was raised to win." The assembled nobility remained silent. Not out of fear. Mostly because nobody could determine whether he was joking. The official chronicle concludes with the following observation: "The Crimson Holds have been integrated." "The bears remain." "The throne remains occupied." "Administrative efficiency has increased considerably." ---------------------------------------------------- Lyrics: [Monologue] "I have won... again. No, no, it's not that I get bored of winning, it's simply the divine order. After all, I was raised to win." [Verse 1] I'd rather not think about it, ...I've won against bear infantry. Now to collect and integrate, I shall begin with their top. No one needs five different houses, oh, I think I am gonna assume control. More provinces for Blackmere, more provinces for the Machine. May the doctrine prevail, may efficiency control the continent. [Chorus] War games with bears, war games with beasts, oh how interesting this journey turns out to beeeeee. [Verse 2] We need marble halls for Carnstein. Time to bring them culture. Also, their waltzes are darker? Not that I mind, but uuuh.... The Imperial Eagle should be placed here, a portrait of the Overlord? No, no, no. Let's put MY image here.... [Chorus] War games with bears, war games with beasts, oh how interesting this journey turns out to beeeeee. --------------------------------- Audio made with Suno-Ai Image generated with Chat-GPT
