You hold an emergency council few days later.
The Marshal and other high-ranking officers of Luathbas Army debate the issue of possible Damdamian attack.
"Clearly we should call for emergency mobilization!"
"Why? We're not at war, and peasants surely won't like being called into the field when there's no actual fighting to be done."
"Maybe call in Gubtas?"
"I don't think they could be persuaded to fight wars that far from their homeland. Parsia lied between our nations while Lametania is like end of the world for Gubtas, as far as we know."
"How about we finally increase the budget ofthe Army, my liege?" Asks the Marshal, and other officers nod in agreement. "We have the mines, the trade with east; surely the Crown can afford to sponsor us more supplies, horses and better wages." The officers murmur along. You ponder these options...
As for the emergency mobilization...
A) Let's raise emergency troops just in case!
B) No mobilization, let's not rile up peasants without a reason.
As for the request of aid from Gubtas...
A) Nah, let's not get them involved, they probably won't want to get involved in the first place.
B) We came to their aid in Parsia and its about time they came to our aid against Damdamians!
As for the increases of money spent on the Army...
A) Fine; the Army needs to be supplied well if its supposed to match the might of Damdamians.
B) Naw, let's not spend all our moneys, especially after we sponsored the clergy this year already!
