The Spring Planting

Alexander's message was received by surprise, alarm, and even fury by many of the 12 nobles.

This was because most of them knew they had nothing to do with the attack and saw it as Alexander's way of intimidating and encroaching upon their land.

And they were totally right about this, as Alexander really had only found a small portion of the called-up nobility to have actually taken part in the battle.

Thus this was really a way of demanding vassalization, or at least free trade with the powers.

Understanding this, the nobles quickly asked for aid from Amenheraft, but they were destined to be disappointed.

For they would get no real reply, just flowery words and encouragement, followed by a description of the many types of difficulties Amenheraft was currently facing.
