Chapter Six Hundred-Sixty-Three : Joining Another War
Cry Havoc And Let Slip The Elephants Of War!!!
We open this chapter in early March, of the year 912 AD, with the Commanders deciding to rush the Defenders of the Temple Complex of Bajrakot.
A few days was all it took to overwhelm the Priests of the Complex. All 803 of them were wiped out. But they did put up a fight as 140 Imperial soldiers were also killed.
Then the Basileus received an interesting request from the Great King Kalahastambha of the Kingdom of Satyavarman. He wanted the "Great" Basileus Niphon to honor his obligation and help him crush a Revolt.
"Before we answer please check the small print," demanded the Basileus. "The Revolt isn't being backed by...oh...let's say...the Mongols?"
"No, Sire," replied the staff after checking their records. "Just the Revolt."
"Do you think he asked us on the chance we might say no and allow him the excuse of freeing himself and his Kingdom from us?" asked the Emperor.
"No," responded the staff. "The records show the Revolt is close to being the Kingdom's equal in numbers and even having more funding. Also the Revolt Leader is a SLIGHTLY better warrior. If a Coward."
"Okay," remarked the Basileus with a shrug. "We'll join his little war."
"Should we redirect the second Army to help crush the Revolt?"
"What? NO!" The Basileus rolled his eyes. "Split up our forces? Fight in TWO wars at once? Pfui! We're not amateurs. We'll focus on one war at a time."
"Of course, Sire," stated the staff.
So we close this chapter with another victory and another war.
