The other cities interest me not, at the moment. As for the chances of success for the servants, that is irrelevant: the intent is there.
As for you having to kill Draven, I could not care less. It matters not who makes the killing blow. You may strike the killing blow, but to do so you will have to attack with some vigour: I am not going to hold myself back because of your whim.
"Ah, I see we have a visitor coming, and in quite high spirits."

They had heard their leader, and they had gathered. In the small room were the head of the CEIA (Crimson Empire Intelligence Agency, formerly DEIA, Dark Empire Intelligence Agency), the head of the Red Stars (the Secret Police, formerly the Dark Stars) and the Flame (formerly Echo) commander.
They had waited for this moment, and they had their orders. They would be greatly facilitated by the Byzantine heirarchy in the Army, and each of them instilled fear in the common soldiery (and general populace), and the Generals as well, as did their troops.
They had their orders, they had had them for some while, since Draven had become Emporer in fact. Lord Ragnar had appeared to them at a meeting, in a very ethereal form. He had given them orders, but not the time of execution. Now was the time.
They wished each other luck and left.

The Echos, lead by their commander, rushed into the Crimson Capital Main Barracks. The soldiers were very surprised, and frightened, when they saw the Flame, as they thought it was, rush in.
They were equally surprised when that same group of the Flame drew hand crossbows into both of their hands and shot each soldier through the neck.
They then started running towards the palace, driving those people still outside indoors.

The Dark Stars went along the battlements of the walls, arresting huge swathes of soldiers, accusig them of treachorous thoughts and activity, and executing on the spot. Soon, the walls were unmanned. They then entered each of the gatehouses, emptying them of soldiers, permanently.

The DEIA agents entered the generating room which controlled and powered all of the city's defenses. They were greeted deferentially by the technical staff, who thought this was a surprise inspection, especially since they had recieved a sudden order to put all the defences on at once, after a strange voice from outside sounded.
From their point of view, it was a typical surprise inspection, except that a few minutes after the inspectors left, the whole building, the generators and the controllers exploded. The defences completely collapsed due to the lack of power.

At once as the red aura collapsed, each of the ten Haraldurs created a warp ball the size of a palace, distorted the light all around, giving a very odd rainbow like effect.
The ten balls were all thrown towards the city, travelling at the speed of light, having no rest mass. Ragnar's subordinates had been betrayed. He had not arranged for a coup to return the Dark Empire to how it used to be, but he had destroyed the city.
The Crimson Capital was now nonexistant, nothing existed there except some small splinters of debris. The warps had sucked and then exploded, leaving nothing alive.//Apart from player character obviously, since they are superhuman.//
The Haraldur that used to be the axe smiled, for he had designed the defences.
The "spokesman" Haraldur turned to Zeros', and said, "No loss. I wonder if our visitor is so high spirited now?"
