With new trade income coming from Rome and Sparta, Consul Aeric invests time and interest into an expensive project to divert nearby rivers into each other, and to use them to bring water to the countryside in the times of drought.
Russian guy, The Levantine Kingdom doesn't have any Roman troops. You have 10,000 alive ones in Sparta. You can call them back at any time. The Levantine Kingdom will not return the 3,000 POW's currently being enslaved, nor the 4,000 Spartan civilians who were enslaved. All of them are currently enslaved for the government, and are being used as a Labor force in the Levantine Kingdom. We will not leave any of the land we currently own. And @darthdj31 I can help you. What do you want me to fill in?
Well, Up here, slavery seems a bit... backwards. But as long as you are getting rid of our child vagabond problems, we thank you greatly!
The Levantine Kingdom uses the 7,000 Spartan slaves as manual labor, they are building stone roads throughout the Empire.
We agree to that alliance, as it is important to have allies with important trade partners. (also we lift the Herecy thing on your people)
The Levantine Kingdom sends out a fleet of 15 ships, in the naval base in the COG, to intercept the thousand Spartans who are going north. The Admiral asks where they are going? (OOC: The only way you can go north is if you sail. If you don't then you'd be going through sovereign Athenian territory..)
