The Royal Council

[The Celtic Viking]

Basileus Philadelphos Ptolemaios raises his eyebrow at Alexandros.

"I am kind of surprised by your latest words. Lets see here..."

He waves a scribe to come over and he is given a piece of paper which he quickly scans through. When he finds what he's seeking for, he turns back up towards Alexandros.

"Ah, yes, Edict E1.4. It was proposed by you, wasn't it? Well, according to it, the Royal Army is supposed to confront the main enemy force in the area, which can only be interpreted as the one currently stationed in Damaskos. Now you're against going after them?

But Edict E1.4 also states that you would "amass 6 to 8 phalanxes" for yourself, but the only phalanxes available in the area belong to your Basileus' army - my army! Surely you would not have the cheek to try and steal my men from me, so where would you get these phalanxes from, may I ask?"
