"This shall hurt our profits, but we will try to watch our manners better in the land of Gubta." The merchant representatives slowly recede from the throne room, some murmuring amongst themselves.
879 AD, Winter
The Army, or rather, the Marshal, brings you a report.
In the report there are written that, due to harsh and freezing winter in the flatlands, there are many instances of misbehavior amongst the troops in there, grumbling about high casualty rate and the fact that most of the ones remaining are emergency conscripts, which further fuels the low morale.
"And what you suggest, dear Marshal?" He adjusts his cape.
"We can always send more supplies and money although I assume the Treasurer won't part easily with his money. Or you can send the draftees home earlier than the mobilization ends, but if you do that I will have to ask you to conclude the campaign and allow the Army to take on more guard duties to protect our gains from Adila raids and to protect our southern border from Damdamians, who already stir in the south."
A) "Yes, extra coin for drinks and warm blankets, is what our soldiers need! I shall have someone sent to inform the Treasurer."
B) "Alas, none of these options really work, in my opinion. We, and our soldiers, will have to prevail."
C) "Indeed, we did enough damage and gained enough land. Recall those sent during the summer, and the rest shall garrison the captured keeps and outposts."
