The new illegal Senate of the revolt is almost done building. Taking care of it now is crucial to retrieve our old power in the name of the emperor. Informations lead us to Murus Terroris, a powerful and feared city ruled by the senator Tartere Lucus, an important head for the rebells. He controls big legions for the enemyforces and will be important to be eliminated.
Murus Terroris is settled on a big open hill surrounded by fields. It has a small river close to it with old ruins of the first settlement build there, which over time got scrapped by natives commanding the smaller river and its islands.
We already sent troops to lay siege to the city. By now it should be encircled with our legions. Nobody gets in and out. A direct attack on it would be suicidal. The defense systems are strong and built over centuries to hold stand against the biggest invasions. Our professionals calculated the citys stocks will exhaust after roughly 30 years but due to the enormous space the city has they probably can and will harvest some open fields behind the safety of their walls. We expect a siege of at least 50 years.
To protect us against upcoming attacks trying to breach our reinforcements we settled around the small river further down the fields in front of the enemys defenses. Expanding closer to the city will make it harder to defend our siege against them. We are not home in this region and farming the unknown lands is risky. Our troops brought some animals with them which we will breed to feed our man. In Septentrionalis Itinere we supplied Therandium with many goods. In exchange for that they will provide big amounts of wheat for the siege and buy some of our pigs we may overproduce. Other than that, given our situation, we will produce and sell weapons for our troops.
