Feroz: I don't understand the point of going through this again. I mean every time we try to take Greece, that I remember, we are slaughtered.
Gaspar: I don't understand how they beat us every time, we have a larger force, a stronger navy, and we should overwhelm them!
Feroz: They are just too good at fighting. They beat us at Marathon, and countless other conflicts. Plus whenever we think we're ready to finally take over, there's a revolt somewhere in the Empire that has to be put down. You know its taken us years to prepare for this!
Gaspar: We need a new strategy. They've been beating us for over fifty years, and each time we think we finally got rid of them they just pop back up and rebuild.
Feroz: Wait, what if we don't do the fighting. What if they destroy themselves.
Gaspar: Divide and conquer. Get them to fight amongst themselves until they are weak enough to beat them.
Feroz: Now that's an idea, but our superiors would never do, they would say its too feeble.
Gasper: Well it was worth the thought, anyway we better get some sleep, if we are going to be marching again all day tomorrow.
