At the gates of the portuguese settlement in the desert
A portuguese messenger arrives at the camp of the piercian army. He is quickly brought in front of the Prince and the Oratress. Fortunately he spoke roman.
M - " Oh, great warlord, may you accept my presence and my words."
A - " You are speaking to the Prince of the Piercian Empire. Say what you have to say or you will soon be a head shorter !"
M - " Forgive me, Prince, i will make my message as short as possible. Your Roman allies are demanding slaves from our Kingdom, and the governor of the town you are besieging has recieved the order to send them the inhabitants of this town. However, the evacuation will take some time. For you to wait he offers you the retreat of almost all the garrison. However, most of the men who stayed are not ready to give up the settlement, so they will try to fight your mighty army. "
S - " My Prince, if we can spare the life of theese people, even if it's only for them becoming Roman slaves, we should let them go. "
A - " I know, Oratress, that you don't wish to kill. But this are times of war. However, loosing less men here in order to have more left to fight the Spartan invasion seems to be an interresting option. "
M - " There is something else. The Portuguese Kingdom offers you knowledge for peace. Their rulership has become much more efficient since they have introduced the Code of Laws. And they are willing to share their method with you, as long as you let the people of this town go and put an end to this war after this inevitable battle. "
S - " This is good, we may save many lives by accepting this, my Prince. "
A - " Hmm... you are right, and their offer seems highly interresting. I will accept this if you, Oratress accept to deploy your full capacity against the resisting garrison of the town."
S - " I guess that i have no choice, my Prince. This way we won't have to many people to kill."
M - " My masters will be pleased, oh Prince." He took a brief look at Sally, and then asked : " Are you responsible for what happened yesterday ? "
S - " I am the Oratress of Storms. And yes, I have called the thunder down on your armies. "
The messenger ran away, screaming hysterically. Asiz laughed at him and was really confident with Sally's cooperation. But she was more ashamed about how the messenger reacted to her than in mood for laughing at him.
