Lauryn Auriol
Sergei's words had caused her to become agitated as she thought the man was stubborn and borderlines on ignorance, now this may have been from her lack of personal knowledge of the man but she turned to him and gestured to the wall "Sergei your men are undisciplined and fight barbarically. Do not think they will enter Advara ... those fancy walls stand 90 feet high and nearly 30 feet thick, and they have kept your kinsmen out since the days of your treacherous Founder Daedriaus (The creator of Ventera often worshipped as a god among men). Even if you do manage to break the gate my little... surprise will guarantee not a single Venteran soul crosses into Advara." She pointed to the men were loading some barrels into the walls of the great wall, Sergei wouldn't know but these were explosives to be triggered should The invaders break the gate, This would effectively create an impassable mountain of rubble on the border.

She calmed down now remembering the issue at hand and leaned on the table. "I want you and your men off my border immediately. I need these men on the southern borders near Pandemonium... they are massing up and preparing an assault on my border and i'll imagine yours as well and to be honest the demons worry me more than your people."She walked to the opening of the tent and looked towards the wall. "But i'm curious do you think if Advara falls to either the demons are even your own troops that Ventera will be able to fend them off... If they could take on an empire with like the might of Advara what will stop them from running through your lands?" She laughed "Brute force will not stop these demons."

She thought on this she knew more than anyone that demons would crush everything in there path and this worried her yet she kept up the facade of being in control as she knew that if Sergei wouldn't see reason then this war was already over. This meant if she couldn't convince him then i'd be up to the angel of death and she would have to blow the wall on the border to halt the increasingly aggressive Venteran armies. "I want you to think on this; do you think Ventera even as great as you think it is can take the demons?" She paused for a moment continuing to stare into the distance "Now you have my permission to leave just bare this in mind Sergei Kottorov..."
