Not only did the entire garrison stationed there was defeated swiftly and brutally, the province grows ever more unstable and remains a constant threat to the capital, the jewel of the republic. We must put an end to these threats once and for all. Starting with the neighboring desert tribe of Sassticca.” He paused for a moment in order for the senators to properly understand what he just said. “With this step, we shall make but a small push for victory against other threats to this great republic. Protecting not only her people, but the wealth and commerce she brings. I say this senators, we go to war. For the glory of the republic.” He quietly turned away and began to cast his vote. This was an important war and the senate must pull through, else the republic may grow ever more in danger. Not only that, but winning the vote would prove that his family's influence in the senate remains ever strong. [hr] Senator Numerius calls for war against Sassticca.
