"War is the greatest plague that can afflict humanity, it destroys religion, it destroys states, it destroys families. Any scourge is preferable to it."
- Martin Luther (1483AD – 1546AD)
It has been only two weeks after the victory that the entire atmosphere in both the camp and Thessaloniki turned straight down from every one celebrating to every one praying. This news eventually could no longer be hidden and began to spread around to both the other camps and the city Thessaloniki, halting all actions of the subsequent conquests as there are no one able to grant their permission. This news too affected the mayors and lords from the other cities and holdings who are preparing to submit to the rule of Antonius willingly to avoid the flames of war, making them hesitate on whether they made their prior decisions a little bit too hasty.
