The silence permeated throughout the mahogany-paneled War Room for some time, before Ragnar finally voiced his projections for the upcoming fiscal quarter with an impassioned speech.
"Gentlemen, we are at the dawn of a new market cycle! The invasion from the West Saxons has brought us an unforeseen opportunity for aggressive expansion. Nottingham is under siege, and the Mercian Ealdorman is... well, let's just say his contract has been terminated.
If we take advantage of this upheaval to secure the coal supply chain; we will be able to benefit from this crisis and establish a Logistics Hub, with our Directorate at the center of the trade network! Imagine a new England with City Titan at the core of its power grid!
For this vision of the future to become a reality, I need every one of you to seize this opportunity that lies before us! For a Greater Directorate!"
