Alexander's response to Perseus was very aggressive and the language very unyielding.

Internally, he was also very proud of that marching song he had come up with on the spot.

And hearing such a stance, Lord Theony surprisingly did not try to haggle, like Alexander would have expected any good envoy seeking peace would.

Instead, he only placidly posed this, "Will Lord Alexander not reconsider? Peace is better than war. Let us save lives."

"Unless you can defeat my army in battle, I see no reason to sue for peace. If Tibias wants to remain Tibias, it must win and earn its place."

Alexander's statement was very straightforward and revealed the cruel truth of the times.

If you were not strong enough, your only fate was to be eaten by greater powers.

In fact, given Tibias's relative size compared to Adhania, the fact that it could exist as an independent entity for so many years could already be said to have been a miracle.
