South is secured for now. After the fall of Tarentum (421 day siege) and Ager Bruttius (463 day siege) in the early months of 277BC it was time for politics.

I was in control of the only two provinces MG had, so I was naturally under the impression that Senate would instruct me to demand unconditional surrender and wipe MG out of the history pages. Little did I know, my country is run by idiots; 10 year truce if they give me Ager Bruttius.

With a hail of curses I ordered Legion I to leave Tarentum and let MG claim it back, BUT I refused to redeploy my legions to North. Come first chance and I'll be back in Tarentum, with or without the Senate's blessing!

Before the sieges ended, I had already pulled Legions III & IV to north. Having over 80,000 men ready to serve under my command, I started massive troop training in Rome with goal to have both legions ready to move to the northern rebel territory with the combined strenght of 40,000 men.
