We wish to offer the Franks a last and final warning to leave the boundaries around our southern city of Coventry ... remove your forces or suffer the consequences and know full well that it is you who have forced Us to declare war ... the lives and blood of many will rest on your decision ... choose wisely or let history judge you as base aggressor ...

We await with armour doned and standards hoisted ...

I have attached my Victory point screen to show what is going on. As you can see, I am leading because of My two victories over Germany. Look who is last. This is unacceptable that an aly of mine is not pulling her weight. Things must change.

Just a reminder to send the horses tech to Us ...
What are you going to offer for it, because what you seem to have been wanting to give for it is not acceptable. I need more before I give it to you.
Damn I thought that you were going to gift Horse Riding as we are allies in war
Well an alliance in not all give. So far i have been giving you things. You need to show me that you appreciate me, because so far you have not given me anything. I give you something and you can give me something. That is how an alliance is to work, not me just giving you what you want without anything in return.
With all due respect you have not given me anything ... you gifted me a small sum of gold in return for Right of Passage ... atm I can give you nothing as i have nothing to give ... I cannot even trade my excess resources with you yet :-( ... what harm can Horse Riding be to such an advanced and powerful country as the Danes?
