Domination of Equestria - T+22 - days.
“But My Master, she is but one mare. What could one mare possibly do?”
“Do you want the list? Servitor, please list the current damages so far.”
“As you command, My Master. As of the last report two days ago the current list of known damages is as follows.
Two thousand bits worth of damage to our Manehatten shipping fleet. Three holed below the water line, two with damage to the deck, one missing its reserve mast. None are permanently destroyed but our transport capability is reduced by thirty seven percent.
Nine thousands bits of damage to properties. Seven warehouses gutted by fire. Supplies worth in excess of fifteen thousand bits written off.
One hundred and twelve thousand bits worth of medical costs. Thirty two changelings unable to perform duties for a minimum of three months. Four for an expected excess of five months. Two changelings killed.
Five pegasi grounded due to wing damage. Two unicorns on enforced inhibition due to chipped or damaged horns.
Three minor artefacts stolen or destroyed. They have no further use to the administration, but they could be used to find a weakness in our old practices. We are upgrading all affected systems and products appropriately. Unfortunately there are still just a little over eight thousand changelings still awaiting upgrade.
Last but not least, our entire clothing and uniform production facilities have been rendered totally inoperable. There is no hope of recovery. A magical implosion device was used. There is now a crater that used to contain every shred of our clothing division. Over half a million bits worth of damage and destroyed goods.”
“She’s been targeting our clothing? Why? Surely weapons manufacture would make more sense?”
“Ah, Captain, see, I would guess your priorities are rather different when your name is Rarity…”
Overlord Rule No:46 If an advisor says to me "My liege, he is but one man. What can one man possibly do?", I will reply "This." and kill the advisor.
Aw, but you didn't kill the adviser.
he started to fail when he killed spike
6512190 I would advise killing the advisor.
6512190 no, but he did answer the advisor's question, which I think would be the more valid strategy. executing your advisors for a single slip of the tongue makes them very reluctant to continue advising you.
although if he makes the same mistake again, then go ahead and execute him.

Technically he's not an advisor, he's a captain of the armed forces.
Holy cow! She did all that in a lousy
2220 days after the take over?!!!Just imagine what she accomplished in the many months that followed before they finally captured her.
It took them approximately one hundred and seventy one days after that to capture her.
Rarity is not to be underestimated, that's for sure.

6512401 the chapter never mentions who exactly is addressing the overlord at the beginning.
It's always the loners you need to kill quickly.
Inverse ninja theory.
It said kill the one that asked the question but noone was killed
Ask that question again, and you die. Evil Overlords do not tolerate stupid advice.
...Rarity, I'm proud of you.

It only applies to advisors, who are on your payroll as "advisor to the overlord", as such a mistake indicates a close-minded advisor.
In this case, the query came from the military brass, whose job is to query after the target's capabilities.
6513277 He demands murder! Blood for the blood god!

She really isn't, and other than attacking the personal slight of your clothing designs, she's going more after your money than your troops. Which is how you actually win a war.
Geez, guess she's a little salty that she designed the uniform for the new Regime...
6513899
Ah hell, I called that a while ago!
6512233 Are you the new advisor?
The funny part is when despite following the entire list to a T, some tiny, tiny thing brings it all crashing down.
Epilogue : Rule X
'It's over. All over.'
New Entry :
Rule X : I will...
And so forth
But the advisor isn't dead
Well, at this rate I'd say let Rarity have fun targeting things that don't weaken my ability to rule. While I take my time hunting her.
