Making It Home

There were of course some strategic questions that Alexander had refused to answer some questions, such as inquiries regarding the crossbow and how they were made and used.

But in return, he did reveal some of his inventions, showing them things such as paper and sugar, which were close at hand.

All of which the nobles were very impressed by.

Finally, at one point the meeting came to an end, when a messenger at last got impatient enough to intrude into the tent and inform Alexander that the army had been waiting for hours in stand by, growing impatient by the minute as they were eager to march home, but were still waiting for him to give the order.

"Ah, yes, yes," Alexander too was surprised by how quickly the hours had slipped by, as only now he realized it was already midday and thus decided to end the meeting there.

"My lords, we can discuss more once we get inside the city. Please excuse me," Alexander cordially finished saying.
