This is just me as a private citizen speaking, but I think you, Soya, would benefit from an expanded background and plot.
So, for example:
What is Soyabar's relationship with the NPC which inhabits this area you will be invading?
What causus beli will Soyabar use to attempt to justify this action? Even if this is blatant imperialism, it would be good to have at least some justification (no matter how thin).
What has caused Soyabar to become interested in building an overseas empire?
Why is Soyabar interested in this area in particular? Resources, strategic location, simple opportunism, old rivalry?
How will Soyabar placate neighboring states?
I would also caution you that Skathia (the continent where this takes place) is under Nyland's protection against foreign imperialism, so you may want to consider another area. I think you probably chose this area as opposed to the islands east of Avidna (your previous expansion request) because of the overwhelmingly negative response from pretty much everyone in the vicinity. I'm afraid that an open invasion of this area will be responded to in similar fashion.
For these reasons, I think you might want to be a bit more subtle in your takeover. An outright invasion is likely to see a strong response by neighboring nations, so you could try something like supporting a "legitimate authority" or an "oppressed minority" or something else. You could also try to cooperate with other nations who might support you.
If you want some land but without too much threat of overwhelming resistance, you could try the myriad of tiny islands out in the Aesean Ocean or somewhere in Ostara. If you simply want some RP, you have much more options. Remember that historical RP is also an option. You could try to do some historical RP during the colonial era with my nation Nabatho if you want?
