Imagine you are an advisor to xerxes and are alarmed about his plan for revenge on greece. compose a letter to him outlining reasons why he should cancel his invasion of greece.

Greetings Xerxes, our King, and Deity.

I Have heard some news about the latest conflict between our sovereign Kingdom against the filthy Greek rats, they need to pay for their big mouth and ambitious pretentions, however my respected and illuminated King, recently my personal emissary came directly from Greece, he was infiltrated between the Greek folk, he told me about all the greek war preparatives, they are ready to repel our attack, of course, our Blessed army will be capable to defeat them, but being a combative and harsh people, they would leave us really debilitated and with no capability to affront other political and military necessities that are urging at this moment.

It´s in my knowledge that our kingdom needs to expand, to conquer, to defeat all enemy that may appear against us, however in these difficult and conflicted times, will be better to play defensively while we keep defending and strengthening our conquered territories in central Asia, and the Indian frontier.

I´ll follow any decision you could make my king but it would be an honor for me if these words could be considered.

Hail to the king!

Fenriir from Macedonia
