Noble Negotiation (Part-2)
Alexander had already guessed that the men were here for such talks.
And so now, he was thinking of how to squeeze the most out of them.
The few thousand infantry he caught were not negligible, but neither were they vital to his city, particularly if some much more lucrative alternative deals could be made through them.
Hence, Alexander looked forward to the negotiations.
Soon the group was allowed into the rear of the army and their horses slowly trotted until finally they reached Alexander, who sat perched atop his horse surrounded by his bodyguards with crossbows at the ready.
They were ready to respond to any sudden attacks, like if any stupid nobles wanted to charge Alexander and commit double suicide in an attempt at some kind of revenge.
