‘It’ll take at least three days for the surrounding estates to gather their troops and arrive at the capital, one week at the latest We can last until then’
You were only a true master of the military if you were able to overcome national difficulties How could they plan for an empire once this as over if they couldn’t even defeat the Republic?
