With the next quatrain 4-11, a beautiful "red" theme opens. The word " rouge " in itself is quite remarkable, and considering all the passions that are created with him in the Centuries – the most remarkable.
4-11 Celuy qu'aura gouuert de la grand cappe,
Sera induict a quelque cas patrer:
Les douze rouges viendront souiller la nappe,
Soubz meurtre, meutre se viendra perpetrer.
He who will rule from the great mantle,
Will be hit on some business:
Twelve reds will come to stain the tablecloth,
Under the kill, the kill will be done.
As is probably already clear, starting from the third line of this quatrain, until the end of the seven Centuries, twelve “ rouge ( s )” are found, the last time in quatrain 7-36:
7-36 Dieu le ciel tout le diuin verbe a l'vnde,
Pourte' par rouges sept razes a` Bisance:
Contre les oingtz trois cens de Trebisonde,
Deux loix mettront, & horreur, puis credence.
God sky all divine verb in a wave,
Carried away by the red seven shaved to Byzantium:
Against the anointed three hundred from Trebizond,
Two laws are established, and horror, then trust.
Again the divine verb, and with it the fulfilled prophecy. However, not even one. Seven "shaved" – " sept razes ( rasees )" is also a fact for the first seven Centuries.
It is quite significant that already in the second cycle of the Centuries, as if hungry and missing the “reds”, in quatrain 8-19, the Author immediately gives out as many as four “ rouges ”, moreover, “to support the great mantle”:
8-19 A soubstenir la grand cappe troublee,
Pour l'esclaircir les rouges marcheront,
De mort famille sera presque accablee,
Les rouges rouges le rouge assomeront.
To support the great mantle agitated,
To clarify, the red ones will pass,
Because of death, the family will be almost crushed,
Red reds beat red.
Something extremely interesting is planned with the Reds in the future. Wait and see.

And here is the very future, I have already lived through that stage, but now it’s not about him, but about the next topic. Now I remember myself of the past, wandering with a dim lamp through the darkening world of the Centuries, in an attempt to find at least some clues to the truth. The fact that she – the truth – was, it was already clear to me, it was just a matter of getting to it. But … either the light from the lamp was then very weak, or – the surrounding darkness suppressed it so much, that's why I stumbled more on the deaf walls, and with my forehead. But, even at that time, some insights came to me. Below is one of them. Now I don’t know if this is a coincidence or the author’s idea, but this is a fact, today I confirm it. Without that, without my past wandering and roaming in the dark, I think he would not have shown up. Further – about this, in words from my past.
Nostradamus compiled his main work from ten "Centuries", from lat. " centuria " – a hundred, a division in the Roman army of one hundred soldiers. This is ideal. In fact, a hundred, most likely, was not recruited. In most cases, there were 60-80 fighters in the combat centuria. The same situation developed with the legion, and although the meaning of this word is in no way tied to any number, it was generally accepted that quantitatively, ideally, it should have consisted of three thousand soldiers. In fact, over the centuries, this number has varied widely: from 2,000 to 8,000. I repeat: the ideal is 3000. A fleet of three thousand warriors is something even in our times. The strategist Nostradamus saw all this in the future. Further – about what I, in fact, outlined all this:
4-23 La legion dans la marine classe,
Calcine, Magnes soulphre, & poix bruslera:
Le long repos de lasseuree place,
Port Selyn, Hercle feu les consumera.
Legion in the navy
Lime, Magnesia, Sulphur, and Tar will burn:
A long rest from a safe place
Port
