He has a battleship in orbit, conquest is the least of his problems, even if it is a wounded beast. The one that controls the orbit controls the surface.
I call bullshit on the requirement to be indoctrinated/trained into the role of a Captain in the middle of an active threat. If the the enemy was really attacking they would also take their sweet time with this proceedure? There is a reason why there is a chain of command.

I cringe how much the premise is similar to Overlord. I know there is a limits if you want to tell your own story in an already established way, but you could at least try to spice things up and go the distance.
Also, no love for femboy elves. What waste.
Maybe it's not that he is into MILFs but totally practices oneupmanship, like "your husband and me were rivals, so I'm totally taking everything that is his".
I mean, he is a Prince from a kingdom that favors martial ability above all else. Even Spartans tended to make sure their wives were fit. Is it so hard to imagine he would find her genes highly desirable?

No, this is basically (although not exactly) what the Wehrmacht did to the Allies in 1940 that lead to the encirclement at Dunkirk. They basically suckered the Allies to advance into Belgium, snack in through the Arden Forest and then hit from the back, encircling the Allies...
