More big news: the Catholic Empire is a thing that exists, independent of the Roman Empire. For it is to the Catholic Empire that the Portuguese send their desperate petitions after the realization that the Romans are messing them up something fierce. How are all of these factions separate? Shouldn't they all historically be the same thing? When will the subplot with the Chinese and the British Colonization come back into play? Well, one of these questions is going to be answered. Very soon.
The Catholic Empire swoops in and destroys 10 Roman troops with no loss of their own, as by this point the Roman Empire (who, here, remember, specialize in naval-based combat) are far too spread out to maintain an effective defensive barrier. By that time, however, the 15 Portuguese (forces?) left over from the previous attacks were no more, as the Romans had already taken over Portugal (Spain?) from one front while it was in a weakened state in a war from two fronts- France, still kind of miffed at Portugal's betrayal, had attacked and taken over Pamplona (yes.)
I guess Portugal/Spain is out of the picture now. Also, you know the Catholic Empire, that heretofore unmentioned superpower that logically shouldn't exist in the first place but came down like a deus ex machina to save Portugal until it turned out that there was no Portugal to save anymore and so aside from making no sense within the context of the universe also served no purpose in the story? We're not seeing them again, either. We could... pretend that didn't just happen? Yeah, let's pretend that didn't just happen.
