Alexander had no qualms about handing Ptolomy over, the man was a fool and a liability.


"But we want safe passage by ships to Cantagena before the winter," Alexander stated his condition.


"Are you dumb? Hand over Ptolomy or be destroyed. There will be no negotiations." Arazadm shouted.


"And besides what do you need ships for?" He asked, "Aren't you gonna be hired by us?"


"Heh, you think we are fools?" The quick-mouthed, fiery mercenary- Petricuno could not hold his tongue any longer, "You just want to lure and kill us"


"What who told you that?" Arazadm was genuinely confused by this accusation.


Adhania really wanted to hire the mercenaries in good faith, because they needed their men to plant wheat instead.


"Then why does Adhania need to hire us when they can threaten to kill us?" Alexander asked with a sneer.


"That….," Alexander's argument made it difficult for Arazadm to explain his position.


It's unlikely they would buy the farming story.
