A decent chance of discovery, but considering the supply situation, it would allow Armentarius to march forwards the soonest.>A combined attack, once Armentarius assaults the camp, your holy knights could try and persuade the garrison to sally forwards. Meanwhile you shall attack the navy, tying down all Akeonian forces. Perhaps some of their fanciful officers will fill griffon stomachs.Maybe we could do as the Vandals did to the Romans at the Battle of Cape Bon with a fireship attack. It seems like they would be particularly vulnerable to such a maneuver given how they're lazily blockading the town and bunched up within the docks.
>”Very well. We shall march at once. Send the word that those who kneel before me shall be spared.”I find it extremely unlikely for this to be a trap. For an aristocratic senator to effectively sacrifice his own life for a man that, even in the highest estimations, comes nowhere close to inspiring such loyalty for a plan that could not be an ultimate checkmate is as close to impossible as we're gonna get.
As for what should to them after they surrender, I'd say take all their possessions and titles. The possessions should be used to pay off debts and the titles should be put through our exam system.
