Draiss paused, and stared at her for a moment, before shrugging. "Currently? No idea. I have an alliance with her, as she was one of the few willing to even talk with me at the party, let alone make an alliance, so getting my troops to stop sallying would be a... difficult and very hard to justify decision. Getting them completely removed would be nearly impossible without utterly destroying my hoped for reputation of always keeping my word, regardless of the cost."<br/><br/>He wasn't going to admit that his agreement with Ellistraee was about to kick off into its final phase, where his troops would focus on getting her followers out alive, but he had added to the commanders that discrete sallying to harry forces would be overlooked provided that the troops were not lost. "If you just want the assaults that are stirring your troops around like stew in a cauldron, then we might come to an agreement, though the constructs would stay in the cities and just protect key points, likely storage areas or housing. You are lucky my problems with Beyonders is starting to expand, and the troops would be better spent elsewhere. They aren't required, but they would make certain other courses of action less difficult.<br/><br/>If you want them to shift to full defensive formations, which is what they they excel at and have yet to meet someone that can punch through, then we can come to an agreement, though the damage my reputation will take will be costly for your request."
