Nostradamus C2 Q06: Advent of war comes with troops under-resourced.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015

This verse is included in the discussion of Nostradamus on War.

It is the tale of cities that are underprepared for the advent of war.

Although its tone implies it is about events relevant to the future it takes place in cities that are reliant on horses for transport. This suggests it is either a third-world country or involves a time when the ease of transport we enjoy is no longer possible.

The importance of this verse to Nostradamus' scheme is seen via setts of adjacent anagrams in the fourth line. These say wars dreading (_urs au _grand Die_),  relic resources (_el Cri_er $ecours), divined MM [2nd millennium]  (_nd Dieu i_MM_)

The previous line is also full of adjacent anagrams on this same topic. Among the most significant  are volunteers, fluxed, pulverescent, Deuterons,  and 'consequent paper cue'.
