Perhaps you shall restrain yourself from wine, Satalexton, as it clearly dulls your mind. With zealotry you seem to speak about our kingdom, yet behind those words I sense pure lust for riches and greed. What is it worth conquering Athenai if our own capital falls? Would you rather see our people butchered and our capital itself pillaged than postponing the war against the Chremonedian usurpers? Our king does not risk loosing one mere city, but the capital, and with it a large portion of our noblemen. Who then shall supply our armies with men? Who then shall see to at that we have a treasury from wich to pay our already campaigning men? What shall then shall our men fight for!? A kingdom without a throne!? Madness! Blasphemy! (Sorry, just had to) We are not leaving any wars half-done, we are merely prioritizing what is important. And yes, I will not lie about my wealth and estates at Pella, but I detest the claim that its the reason why I ask our great Basileus to act as I wish.

Loosing Pella is not an option, and it is clearly outnumbered should Pyrrhos decide to attack it. You say that neither you nor your men wish to become Epirote slaves? Yet still you want to take actions that will leave Pella burned to the ground and pillageged? The rantings of a drunken madman I say! The only rational option we have is to defend Pella with everything we got. Leave a portion of the army at Korinthos, ship the rest back to Pella while reinforcing Demetrias. Its the only way we can hope to deal with this crisis and survive it.

Basileus, if you do not send relief-forces to Pella, we are all doomed. As for me? I will stay in Pella. I'd rather die defending it than live with the shame of having lost it without even trying to save it. As for, Satalexton, if I survive this war, may the gods have mercy upon your folly, for I shall not.

(Nothing personal against you in this AAR satalexton, mere roleplaying )
