Alexander pushed open the door to the meeting and was greeted with expectant gazes by all the people present, starting from the king who was seated at the head of the table to all the mercenary leaders.
They all seemed to have seated themselves comfortably, leaned back and arms on the armrest, and were likely engaged in small talk before Alexander had entered.
"Sorry, I am late," Alexander addressed the group.
"Haha, commander, you have given the soldiers three days to enjoy themselves. As the hero who has won the city for us, you at least deserve thirty days to enjoy yourself." Alexander's usual sycophant Heliptos immediately jumped up to defend his commander.
And soon, following his lead, many others followed as Alexander was ushered to his seat right next to the king.
'This bootlicker seemed to have upgraded himself.' Alexander commented on Heliptos as he sat on his chair.
"Thank you for your understanding everyone." Alexander started with a smile.
