Since the Greeks changed strategy,
we have found it impossible to keep trade routes open
to the city. For almost a year,
the siege has prevented us from farming our lands
outside the walls. Our crops have been ruined, supplies have been seized,
fishing vessels plundered. They tried to beat us in
battle...and they failed. Now they hem us in. I've therefore no choice but to implement rationing
on the whole city. It will begin tomorrow. The granaries will be
patrolled by our soldiers and grain distributed
only by royal decree. This is a proud city, and we are a people
of great courage, but the glory of war is over. The hard graft starts now

Since the Greeks changed strategy,
we have found it impossible
00:00:04.012 --> 00:00:06.002
to keep trade routes open
to the city.
00:00:08.002 --> 00:00:11.052
For almost a year,
the siege has prevented us
00:00:11.052 --> 00:00:14.068
from farming our lands
outside the walls.
00:00:14.068 --> 00:00:16.048
Our crops have been ruined,
00:00:16.048 --> 00:00:20.002
supplies have been seized,
fishing vessels plundered.
00:00:20.002 --> 00:00:25.016
They tried to beat us in
battle...and they failed.
00:00:25.016 --> 00:00:28.000
Now they hem us in.
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:29.096
I've therefore no choice
00:00:29.096 --> 00:00:32.006
but to implement rationing
on the whole city.
00:00:32.006 --> 00:00:34.999
It will begin tomorrow.
00:00:35.024 --> 00:00:37.096
The granaries will be
patrolled by our soldiers
00:00:37.096 --> 00:00:40.044
and grain distributed
only by royal decree.
00:00:42.048 --> 00:00:45.519
This is a proud city,
00:00:45.519 --> 00:00:48.002
and we are a people
of great courage,
00:00:48.002 --> 00:00:51.028
but the glory of war is over.
00:00:53.088 --> 00:00:56.016
The hard graft starts now.
