Council,

I write to report you of my success and a complication,

firstly the success, the Rebel army has been routed with only 11 dead on our side, a significant victory by any standards.

secondly the complication, a force I suspect reports to either Hai or Georgian king has marched south and is now camped outside Karkathiokerta, and to rout this force I will need another turn with the royal army.

My apologies if this action holds up the plans regarding this army yet more than I predicted, however I am sure everyone can agree this is better than allowing minor kingdoms to invade our land at will.

yours in service
