Antiochos turns towards the messenger..

Tell your lord Mikithon that at the moment I don't have any orders for him but let's wait and see what will happen in the next year!

Turning to the rest of the room..

I don't think that Emergency Session is needed. Normal Council Session will begin about year from now and I think this thing with Pontus can wait for now.

Although, Sarpedon, I must say that Lydian Army is not there for you to use as keepers of the public order. It is your Satrapy, so you should find a way to make the people happy in Halikarnassos.

I also want to announce that later in autumn of this year I want the Lydian Army to move towards Mazaka. I have already ordered the Parthian Army to move to Ekbatana and I want to use it against independent town called Phraaspa. Their rulers have insolted us more than once. It is time to end their brief independence and bring them under our rule!

I should say that I have a plan that could eliminate the Pontic threat but I will wait before I will reveal it.
