Jabel Campaign (Part-1)

With the meeting with the merchants finished, Alexander was soon thrust into another one, a meeting with his council member, or more specifically the now and ex-military commanders.

Because it was time to discuss the imminent winter campaign for last-minute checks.

The members soon entered the room once the merchants left, and after making themselves comfortable and some pleasantries about Alexander's wedding and such, soon started to dive into the meat of the business.

First Menes and Melodias reported the status of the army, saying how the soldiers had been prepared, that enough weapons such as arrows and pilums had been procured and food had been stockpiled.

With the highlight of the report being Menes's claim that "Since our first target is Jabeel city that's just thirty kilometers north of here, we will not need to carry any large food trains with us. Just the three-day ration each soldier carries will suffice."

This reasoning was sound and hence approved by all.
