It was year 3 of the war. The Silk Road was just getting established and thus had become a highly contested route! The eastern city of Cothos had become a powerful, wealthy entity, and had claimed autonomy from the Romans!
"This war is really taxing our forces," said Scipio. "How can one fortress persist like this!?"
"They are growing weak," assured Maximus. We will take them soon! Nothing can stand in the way of our mighty forces!"
The war had, in fact, taken its toll on both sides. There were heavy casualties and the spirits of the men at war had been worn thinner than socks out for darning. The Cothians had used most of their supply stores, while the Romans were low on manpower. They could only spare so many people for the sar as matters at home were becoming dire due to higher than normal taxation to pay for this war. Those of lower classes were hit the hardest by it all. They may not have been sent to the front lines, but they were being overworked and over taxed at home in order to fund it.
