While it is unclear whether or not the Nehelenian forces would be able to understand the meaning of this short message, to the Amazonians, the message clearly revealed their stance on the return of the RNN Victoria (or the Νίκη (Nike), as the Amazonians called it). [i]μολὼν λαβέ[/i] [hr] [b]Negotiations with Braiyusal[/b] These 'New Worlders' seemed to be coming out from the woodwork recently. This time, it was 5 men that hailed from a strange land called [i]Braiyusal[/i]. While these men seemed to downplay the true reason for their arrival on the Amazonian shores, it was nevertheless obvious. These Braiyusalians were the enemies of the Nehelenians, whom had recently come to the shores of Amazonia and demanded that the Νίκη be restored to them. Some form of proxy-warfare was definitely an ulterior motive for these Braiyusalians. Why fight the Nehelenians when you can have others do it for you? [hider=For the eyes of the Kingdom of Braiyusal ONLY] χαῖρε Βασιλεὺς Ῥῶλφος (Saluations, King Rolfe), We shall accept your foreign armaments. However, we are displeased at the tone with which you had ended your message. Therefore, we request that someone from your kingdom remain within our borders indefinitely as collateral so that you will have some motivation for upholding your end of the margin. This individual shall act as an ambassador to our Queendom as long as this trade agreement lasts. Βασίλεια Θάληστρις (Queen Thalestris) [/hider]
