You agree to this particular deal with Tinwulf and the envoy walks off with your Treasurer to talk business.
The Gubta emissary walks in, bows, then smiles to you. You see that he is wearing, like any other Gubtian emissary, lavishly decorated and brightly colored clothing, but suprisingly, this Gubtian has no translator slave at his side.
"May you be blessed, Queen Elana. I am Mustad Kummin Kasha Tumerikjoos, and I bring a proposal from our Emperor, blessed be his hallowed name." His Luathbasian is near perfect. "You own the lands of Khosra, which once belonged to the Parsians, but before that they belonged to the Gans, the ancient tribes that once moved east and became the Gubta. Our Emperor, blessed be his hallowed name, wishes to procure the land of Khosra, along with its Parsian inhabitants, in exchange for some things that might interest your people."
"And what would that be?" Asks the Advisor as the courtiers begin to chat and murmur.
"We have heard that your soldiers admired both our Oliphaunts and our siege work, therefore we wish to send you ten Oliphaunt females and five males, along with a team of trainers and breeders who know they craft well. Also we would send our engineers to serve in your Army, so that you would have ballista and rock throwers and siege hammers and oil spitters to use against your foes. The Emperor, blessed be his hallowed name, is however not willing to negotiate in terms of wealth, for reasons I shall not speak about." The courtiers murmur, awaiting your decision - and you decide to...
A) Sell northern Khosra in exchange for Oliphaunts and siege engineers.
B) Dismiss the envoy as you do not sell land your soldiers paid blood for.
