A crystal giving Spike the ability to control and even rewrite the minds of others embeds itself into his forehead. Suffice to say, there's nothing left to do now but conquer the world.
Option 4 then option 2 but my idea is Spike actually listen to dominance and sends a skilled changling infiltrator to the ponies and wait and see if a Kitsune messenger shows up. If she does still try and stop them but instead of "causing an accident" the infiltrator captures and drugs them into unconsciousness then bring them back to Spike and get White Jeweled. While this goes down use the scouts to find the Kitsune Village and arrange a takeover
11677637 i wouldn't do that it's a dangerous power move which will guarantee absolute failure. We are trying to build power WITHOUT alerting the Alicorns yet
Option 2 and maybe suggest that the changeling spy spread rumors about the kitsune in Equestria about how it's a dangerous thief or murderer so that there is no help
Option 4 Instead of just sending changeling's to only Equestria, he also sends changeling's to the other non Kitsune kingdoms he's lined up to conquer, to make sure there are no allied kingdoms that receives the information. They would have the additional mission of acquiring information on the kingdom as sleeper agents while there.
And follow that up with Option 2 make sure no one escapes.
The Kitsune are a complete unknown, and if I remember correctly anyone who goes into there forest gets misdirected. Rushing in seems the wrong idea. So Option 2 is probably smartest, send the smartest Changelings in to figure out... anything about how the Kitsune function before just marching in. We don't want more foxes squirting off to warn the other kingdoms. But... they are so crafty they might just do that anyway. I think even if the forest is conquered this is the end of Spikes surprise invasions.
Option 4: make Twilight and the others Spike's slaves
