Before the election in spring, a group of mercenaries who are closely related to Banagher will show their strength and leadership by fighting in front of people.

"That may indeed be the intention. Normally, it would be impossible to have a city with only mercenaries and have a group of mercenaries fight a mock battle near a city-state. I heard that Senator Banerji had to persuade Congress to make this happen."
