The campaign map at the center of the table had a rough sketch of the western steppes, the Rus territories and further into the continent. Batu kept his attention on the princes as he spoke, watching for reactions reactions the way he had since entering the room.
He started with a stern tone, "The campaign will move west without a break, and without stopping until it becomes impossible to keep forward.
Batu set both hands on the table, "First the Rus. Ryazan, Vladimir, Chernigov, Kiev and the principalities between them. Once the Rus is dealt with, the army crosses the forest and mountains onto the Majar plain. After Majar, the Lach territory to the north. Beyond that, the campaign goes as far as its momentum allows."
The objective was clear. "We've named the Western Ocean as the limit."
