Bothos now stares at Leontiskos Thraikikos and a small hint of a smile comes upon his face.

My good friend Leontiskos, I do hope you realise my proposals are for the good of the Kingdom. Unless you would see Alexandria fall to her knees benath the sandals of some upstart Kyrenians then I hold it to be a crucial decision the Council has to take. My second edict merely uses this force to be in permanent defence of the Aegyptian front. If you read the text carefully this command won't be my own, unless our good Basileus decides of course. The troops will only be 'mine' for the short amount of time it will take for me to recapture the city of Paraitonion.

I'm sure the Kleronomos Basileios wouldn't take kindly to calling his troops your own. I'm also sure my father wouldn't take kindly to being called an islander. I believe Side is in fact on a peninsula.
My dear friend, what you say is indeed true, nevertheless I believe that the wise men of the council would be able to choose sensibly and refrain from giving the army contradictory or unrealistic orders

Isidoros then turns to the assembled Strategou and announces his support for Edict E1.10 and Law E1.1.
