Vologases V stood atop the already flaming capital city of Armenia, gazing coldly at his brother Khusro, who lay dead with a sword pierced through his chest, and let out a couple of cold laughs.
Almost all Armenian emperors have Parthian blood flowing in their veins; even Vologases II once reigned as the Armenian emperor. However, this country chose to be close to Rome rather than Parthia, and therefore, its existence is unnecessary.
"Your Majesty, the supplies of Armenia have been gathered, and all the officials and merchants we investigated who have ties to Rome have been executed," Atlatome reported respectfully to Vologases V.
"Order Zaris Kalan to return to Nihavand and Taysi Sealed to mobilize troops," Vologases V instructed the young man in front of him.
"Yes!" Atlatome answered respectfully. Though he completely couldn't understand the hidden meaning in Vologases V's words, his respect for Vologases V ensured he would relay his words unchanged to the Kalan family's Zaris.
