As Uldin sat at the front of his massed force he pondered the news of Anthemius possible demise he may have been a scheming snake of a man but he was predictable always acting in the best interest of Eastern Rome now with this new unknown he was beginning to miss the devil he knew.
"Send a messanger to Pulcheria tell her that a wish for a meeting on neutral ground half a mile outside of their precious capital. Stress to her that if she does not agree then I will burn their tiny empire out of existence they may be safe behind their walls but the rest of the empire is ripe." Uldin sends the messenger with the emphasis that if there is any deception what so ever he will make good on all his promises and more

The message is responded too:
"To friend Uldin, Khan of Khans. We are sorry to report that there were misunderstandings in the translation of your message to our pious Augusta and noble Augustus. We hope that all can be put to rights through a meeting between our noble rulers. Theodosius II Augustus, Nobilissimus Perpetuusque, Princeps Iuventutis, Pius Felix, Imperator, Dominus Noster invites his great friend and noble ally Uldin to a meeting of sovereigns outside the mighty walls of Constantinople."
To be clear, the legation tent will be set up immediately out of long shot of the walls (just over 500 yards for a ballista), well away from the Hunnic force. The towers of the walls command a horizon of between 4 and 6 miles, if any Hunnic cavalry come any where near the Emperor the Praesidio Visigothica will immediately bring the entire delegation within the walls.

Uldin sends a messanger back agreeing to these terms but is displeased of the lack of respect they show by making demands. The delegation consists of:
Uldin Khan of the Huns
Vorka head of Uldins personal bodyguard
100 hun cavalry (who will remain 500m back from the meeting)
10 of Uldins finest bodyguard (will attend the meeting)
Uldin arrives a short time after sending the messenger and orders his troop to set up an open tent in order to show that there is no threat inside. The reason form Uldin arriving first is to ensure there are no traps set as a Khan of his power can take no risks he also charged the location by 100 meters although they are still just outside of 500m from the city itself.
P.S. It will be private talks till we can decide what is to happen so pm me.

Uldin rides back to his horde his face like thunder he orders his forces to ride round the city. The whole horde is uprooted and travelling within an hour. They ride for Aegyptus and for the spoils of war. A convoy of messengers ride back to the hunnic empire to carry words of what has happened and plans of what is to come.

The Horatius Lituus is put on highest alert. The Classis Constantinopolitana is set on triple watches on the Bosphorus and Hellespont.
