Hugues smiles at the good news.

Congratulations to Duc Raymond and Chevalier Raoul de Chatillon. We appear to have the Germans on the defensive.

Hugues turns to the Dauphin.

Your Highness's request for more men will be taken into account. However, military expenditures are at an all time high. I must warn the Conseil that barring further prioritizations, recruitment for new companies will be curtailed. If we keep enlisting Companies, there will be no money for building, diplomacy or trade.

I am sorry if this is troubling to the Dauphin, but Acquitaine must make do with the sizable forces it already has.

If the Moors become more of a threat, I may reasses the situation.
