I wonder if the army was worn down from all the conquering, thinned out, much like the British during the revolutionary war. Or perhaps it was more like 300 where the 318 servants destroyed a much larger army. In any case, dudes won, and are RICH. On the point about "just asking for release", I don't think that's how things worked. Think about it, they just killed and robbed to get those people and posessions. You're not going to walk up to a pirate and just ask for something back. It can be argued that the same mentality needs to be applied to our current terror situation. Many just ask "can't we just talk about it?" In some cases, yes, but in others, it doesnt really work that way. i wonder the same thing about the 318 who killed an army that had basically just won a local version of a world war.

On the point about “just asking for release”, I don’t think that’s how things worked. Think about it, they just killed and robbed to get those people and posessions. You’re not going to walk up to a pirate and just ask for something back.
