I believe we must try and draw the besieging army away from Korinthos at all costs necessary. Then we must sue for peace! We cannot win a war with the southern states with our current military, yet alone occupy and hold their vital cities. I have said before and will say again peace must be established with all the Hellenic nations before we can think of starting a war. I think Korinthos can be sacrificed, but the Basileus Grammateus must be allowed to escape.
