A Turk enters the throne room, bloodied and exhausted. He smiles at the Armenian delegate, and then takes his seat.
Then he waves a mocking hello to the Roman ambassador.
"I hope you didn't need that eastern army too much..." mutters the Turk, who chuckles to himself.
OOC- An entire legion of the Roman army, the very same who killed our leader last turn, has been annihilated by our forces who were lying in wait outside Ankara. The armies of Jihad are on the rise, and we are winning this battle! Let all the faithful continue to support our cause. I spit on the Roman offer of "peace".
Peace with Romans? I'm sure the Iberians, the Gauls, the Cathaginians, the Latins, the Etruscans, the Greeks, the Brittanians, the Macedonians, the Thracians, the Dacians, the Egyptians, the Seleucids, the Phillistines, and the Arabs of old know full well the consequences of peace with Rome. Vassalage and forced marches to war are the cornerstones of Roman 'peace'. I urge all Muslims to answer my call to jihad. Whether they will or not depends upon how much their spirits are made of steel.
