Nerva Note #4

by Gaius Marcellus Nerva

Transcript

I knew I'd chosen a soft target to test my men, but I had expected a little more resistance. The tribe we assaulted was young, but supposedly they had seen some success as raiders. I cannot see how, given how swiftly they fell into disarray. Some even attempted to flee but they did not get far.

After scouring their fortifications for supplies, we razed them to the ground and planted our flag among the ashes. Let every savage and tribal pretender know: the New Legion has arrived.

Gaius Marcellus Nerva

Victory through discipline

Curabitur mollis target experiri novi electi mei, et parum putasses resistentia. Gens autem erat adhuc infantulus oppugnavit, sed uelut cuneum vidissent quosdam eventum. Quomodo possum, si quid incidit velociter viam provolarunt. Fuere etiam qui non procul fugere conatus.

Et munimenta vagaretur commeatibus nos vexillum nostrum dirui humo seminavit in sterquilinio. Omnis fera et tribus simulator scire: The Legione Pervenit.
