[Bananadine]

According to experience, Patala knows how to beat your Tartarians and your sauromancers. Do you know how you'll kill its angels and rudras? Fighting on the land, you will have great difficulty keeping a rudra away from your lizard mages.

Atlantis suggests that you defeat one Patalan army, before wagering your whole nation on your supposed ability to do so! ...Or, if you end up losing whatever fight you're preparing for at the Atlantian capital, then consider that the foe that defeated you is itself being defeated by someone much richer!

Even if the Atlantian capital is lost, the sea will remain an expensive target for anybody. Patala has sacrificed five demiliches (plus items) for a chance to own the small sea outside Marignon--a sea that produces a total of three gems per month. When will that investment ever be paid for! Maybe more than one nation ought to consider restricting its battles to the land.
