For the duration of this war, I have noticed what most have known for
years. That Ashtan's soldiers are perhaps the weakest of all breeds.
They don't even match up with Hashan's capability to fight, and that's
saying something.

Therefore, I pose a challenge. I will fight any of you in single combat.
Just the two of us. You may form a line if you wish, as I will cut
through you all in due time. I understand fully the implications of war
and all the ridiculousness it brings out in people. Let this be a small
respite. It will not be a heated combat engagement. It will simply be a
true test of soldierly strength and ability. Do you have the testicular
fortitude to face me without the ability to throw me into guards or
hangedman before you axekick? I know your city preaches the 'freedom' to
lack said named fortitude, so I will simply wait for a reply.

Do not reply here, send me a communique if you think you have what it
takes, as I have combat supplies to buy and use for war, rather than
flapping at the mouth in this particular means of communication as so
many prefer to do before they lose their heads like Thaddeus.
