Ah, the bright Iereas,

You've truly destroyed Enorian, Beacon of Light, and remade it into
Shallam, the Jewel of Corruption. Thank you for returning my home to me!

On to the point, "The Ashtan troops of which you speak, were surrendered
to Enorian, by their Commander. That Enorian held them as Prisoners of
War served only to save their lives."

First flaw, they were not surrendered by the Commander, Lachlan was the
Minister of War, and Illpalazzo was the Overseer. Second flaw, Enorian
did not hold them as Prisoners of War or to save their lives, if you
truly wanted to save their lives, they'd not be in a stockroom with 100
other sweaty fanatics.

Had those soldiers fought for Ashtan, they would have been swept aside,
as were the other 121 soldiers Ashtan raised. They would have made no
difference whatsoever in the conflict.

From a Minister of War to another Minister of War, we both know this is
pure bullshit. It is up to its shoulders in the manure on the highway,
first of all, they would have made a huge difference. You held them, in
foreign territory, in an unconquered city, in a locked room. 1. You'd
not be able to get the 100 troops, and 2. Their maintenance is doubled
for being in foreign territory, and away from the Barracks. Plus, Ashtan
has a lot smaller maximum conscription, they could only have a certain
amount of troops at one time, where with Shallam, you could have 1690
troops, Ashtan could only have 350 troops. You minimized them to only
250 troops, but then they had the maintenance cost. In other words, if
you truly believe in what you said, then you are far more idiotic then
what I had originally thought.

May Chaos guide you to Freedom,
Lord Van Laurn
