Herald of Steel

Alexander's job was not finished with just discussing treaties with pasha Farzah and getting his people ready, though just that would have kept him on his feet all day.


No, in addition to those, Alexander had to also devote time to many other things.


He met with the artisans, especially blacksmiths, stone carvers, carpenters, and tanners, where he personally offered them extraordinary salaries to tempt them to join him.


Whereas an artisan typically earned two hundred to two hundred and fifty roplas a month he offered them a fixed salary of five hundred ropals.


And even promised them two and a half hectares of land after ten years of service. 


This produced a lot of eager volunteers, thorough there were some that still refused, citing familiar, personal or even religious reasons.


Among them, there was one who had been involved in the making of chainmail for Alexander for whom he found the rejection to be unacceptable.
