9 Rightful
"All over the central plains of the dothraki sea we haved embarked on a plan in creating and building compact forts. One that can be defended by 20-50 men These forts are simple but hard to seize . They will act as an show of force , a deterrence and maintain our presence within the areas conquered, they will also deprive the Dothraki of their ability to maneuver even though they haven't dared cross the buffer zone we created farther east we can't take any chances , plus these forts will act as the base for our quick reaction force if a trading caravan was attacked or if our monks are being attacked on the valyrian roads they could react quickly . And perhaps even in the future these forts will act as town centers." The major pointed out .
The imperial push had placed the army deep within dothraki lands. Most of essos feared dothraki due to their vast numbers but mostly their speed at which they attack and level everything within their path. But if the dothraki were so feared what can be said about the imperials that were defeating these nomadic tribesmen left and right in droves.
The essosi world at this point was being overturned , not because of the dothraki's defeat entirely but the trade routes along the roads that the empire would be in full control of if the dothraki's were wiped out.
Volantis stood ever watchful of their foes in the north , the same as myr , tyrosh, and lys. Bravos perhaps the most cooperative state within essos with the empire continued to trade with their uneasy neighbors due to the large profits it gained them but they still remained weary of the threat they posed.
Mereen though far from imperial center was not far from its influence , the same thing could be said for qarth , as traders carry goods never seen before had been introduced into these prestigious city ports.
Mereen saw the value in trading with the empire so did Qarth but the latter was thrown into turmoil not too long ago as the previous 13 merchant princes were killed.
Rumors stating that the khaleesi and rightful ruler of the seven kingdoms controlling three baby dragons had took the wealth of the merchant prince Xaro Xoan Daxos as she also managed to outsmart and kill a warlock.
Information just as gold and silver was really valuable to those that didn't possess it and would pay the price to get it.
Although her enemies to the west were not gone denaerys would find herself relieved of the main threat to her rule in westeros long dead and gone and the seven kingdoms already thrown into civil war.
The battle of five kings they called it.
The Empire observed the west even more now that their push east ward had halted for now with the enormous territories they carved out.
The battles between the forces of stark and the lannisters , and though he remained neutral throughout to most it seemed that they supported the north more which was not the case .
They supported their interest more and the north was closest kingdom with the most in raw minerals they could source for cheap.
If anything at this moment the empire reveled in the war taking place , all the kingdoms wasting away their man power which would only make them weak to outward threats in the future such as themselves. The possibilities of them invading this continent was all in the emperor's and his handful of advisors hands.
But as the westlands reminded the europeans of their homeland as essos was that like of the holy lands in a way .
Even so invasion was out of question in the far flung future much less at this moment in time.

"Do you know what people crave the most?"
"Order!"
"In such a chaotic world such as this we are a blessing to them and it shows . How many gates have flung open to us without a fight, how many towns along the way have bowed to the imperial flag without a blade being drawn to force them to do so"
"There is a dawn rising and chaos is being swept away, the darkness is being pushed away, light grows ever stronger . And if you don't see that then you will be ground out under its march "
"Hail the Empire!!!"
