Sorry, your messenger was speaking in hysterics, we hope. For the sake of your people, it is probably best that we crush you, like a horse that needs to be killed when it's leg is broken. Don't bother sending any more delusional messengers to us from this point on, as we will have our hands tied building the largest fleet the Red Sea and Indian Ocean have ever seen. Our soldiers will revel in the remains of your civilization. And like Rome to Carthage, your lands will be salted.
