General Ankyrikos rises...

"Theo I find your lack of faith in our fellow strategos very amusing. You have not yet proved your ability as a commander nor a friend, and your undermining tongue toward the great Sarpedon, our Basileus, is quite disrespectful. I have too pushed the issue of invading Greece, but never with such a defying tone.

Basileus, I would however like to know if I may take my men a bit further into Epirote territory. I was thinking maybe expanding to Tylis. I think it is very possible to gain a glorious victory there. Of course, this is if you think it would be a smart move as I do for the Arche. It is my understanding that if we are at war with a country, that our charter amendments allow for attacks on any of their settlements correct?"

He seats himself and awaits an answer...
