Chapter 45 - Chapter 44: Conflict

Napolet is the second-largest town in the Campagna Region, second only to Capua, and it boasts the most prosperous port for maritime trade in central Italy. Not only can they afford this quantity of weapons and armor, but they can also provide them. The Napoli Soldiers dispatched for battle are not vagrants but landowners and asset holders—Napoletans (naturally also Roman citizens). Previously, Napolet officials and council members agreed to Grabo's request to send City Guards to assist the Roman Army. However, after suffering a disastrous defeat, with most soldiers never returning, they faced intense criticism from the townspeople. Saving even a portion of the soldiers could help alleviate their predicament.
