Antiochos walks into the Council Chambers. Taking his seat he looks at the men in the room. He looks tired..

Now, You probably have already heard that I captured Hierosolyma. After five battles that city is ours! IF those 'liberators' some years ago would've worked together then two men would've been alive and many lives would've been saved.

You probably have also heard that Alexandros Thraikikos, the man who is responsible my brothers and many of our soldiers deaths, was slain by my and Nikanor Kybiosaktes' bodyguards. He got what he deserved.

An evil smile crossed Antiochos' face...

And finally.. You probably have heard the faith of Hierosolyma. This was a very hard decision but I had to do it. Those locals did not honor the deals I made with them and decided to side with the Ptolemaioi. Only one punishment was suitable for those Egyptian lovers.. enslavement. No one else was harmed.

I will send some troops to Antiocheia so that new recruits can join with them and after that I will head towards Alexandreia!

Another thing, I'm displeased to see that Theodoros couldn't keep those small Ptolemaioi armies away from my Royal Army. Because of that some good soldiers died.

Antiochos sighs and lowers his head for a moment..
