Roderic looked at the Knight for a couple moments, examining his posture, his face, especially his eyes. He then got up. "I've heard all I needed to hear. Now as a servant of Emperor Darius Septim I it is my duty to restore order to this province that has been at war for far too long. Jovron Lariat." He said, turning to the Half-Elf. "I pledge the service of the 5th Legion under you for the time being, so that we may restore the royal family to the throne and bring to justice those that are responsible for Gaban Lariat's death." He knelt down. "Do you accept?"

Jovron stood up. "I do."

"Then it is time the Legion intervene." Roderic said, standing up once more. "You must have heard that the Daggerfall Army is on its way here. My scouts last reported that they were a day behind us so they will be here soon. Do you have a strategy in mind for dealing with them?"

"I do. We must leave immediately." Jovron said, which surprised the general.

"Why?" He asked. "It is much better to fight with a strong defensable position like a fortified city."

"I don't want Jehanna to be the site of another battle. This city has suffered enough, we will meet Daggerfall out in the field." He said, his eyes firm and determined.

"Very well." Roderic conceded, he assume that he wasn't going to win an argument with the lad and that was not how he wanted to start their alliance together. He turned to young King Relien. "King Relien, will you allow the Legion to resupply in your city so that we can leave swiftly?"

"I will." Relien agreed.

Roderic nodded and gestured over at Legate Astien. "Astien, head back to camp and order the others to resupply in Jehanna. Tell them we leave in one hour."

Astien saluted. "Yes, general." he then headed out of the room.

"Louis, go with him to inform the guards to let the Legion in." Relien ordered.

The Castallen nodded and left to accompany the Legate.
