You decide to adhere to the treaty and send soldiers once again to Xane-Peon to save little King Kemen from doom.
Autumn, 447 AEC

Your strange behavior of scheming and pitting your own men against each other in two sides of a war has caused people to grumble once more and once louder than previously.
Joyous news come from Xane-Peon! The combined Kastorian-Xanean army have dealt a terrible blow to the forces of Matin Zoza and his Peonian peasants. Apparently the casualties are as high as six thousand, of which only a tenth is that of you and Regents' forces.
There are rumors that Matin Zoza was killed or otherwise greviously wounded. Either way, nobody has seen him since the battle.
Mid-Autumn, 447 AEC
Another great victory over Matin's troops has been scored by your soldiers and those of your regents. This time, the size of enemy troops was smaller, but nonetheless many of them, especially Peonians, have lost their lives to swords and arrows.
Winter, 447 AEC
Gold from the mines have arrived in the Treasury, pleasing the Treasurer and bumping the numbers quite a bit.
Report arrives that Matin Zoza is dead after all. The Regents have started besieging the keeps and cities in the west that remain loyal to his cause, but many are surrendering or betraying the others in hopes of preserving their wealth and/or lives (Regents aren't very lenient, though).
Along with the report comes a letter from the Marshal, mentioning that troops are getting restless and many complain that they would rather be home to celebrate the incoming new year with their families.
A) We shall continue to fulfill our obligations to our ally!
B) Get them home then, good Marshal, they deserve their rest!
