Haseion Square
Palimpela, North Eskaeba
"These incompetent generals have sought to undermine our great state! For this, they shall pay the highest price, may God give mercy to your treasonous souls!"
Proclus bellowed from his podium at a public address in Haseion Square, the three generals fired previously were all tied with their backs to the wall. He looked visually tired, and he was acting extremely strange.
"This is what happens to cowards!"
Two gunmen behind fired on them, and the three generals dropped to the floor. Proclus was escorted back to his palace by his personal guard. It had marked the first execution for treason since 2002.
Back at the palace, advisors to the Basileus, including new Chancellor Gianni Panos, summoned him to an emergency gathering, concerning him.
"My good Lord, are you sure you are okay? You have been acting extremely strange lately." said Proclus' advisor and good friend Nikalaos, "This is very unlike you."
Proclus remained stern in the validity of his actions, and cited the importance of national unity over all else as a deciding factor in the executions. He pulled out a map of the front and barked orders to the new interim Chief General. Proclus had taken full power of the military when he fired his generals, and the Chief General was merely a servant to the commands of the Emperor. He demanded a full offensive to maintain dominance in the south, and ordered a full start to the siege of Idessos.
