After fast flying for the first month it met terrors of underground. They killed the brightest mind in Elven Hive and the whole Hive shuddered. It lost momentarily control of its elves and week passed. The Elven Hive will not return to the underground. It was dark and full of terrors. [Article submitted by Elven Hive (59)] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The long truce between the two empires has come to the end. The Southern Storm alliance has declared war on the Knights. I have payed respect to Lord Orion and set up the two months of silence except of minor scouts. I am sad that they made their mind so, but I will act accordingly. Now Elven Hive may not fear to be alone against me. [Article submitted by Knights of the Past (26)] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Here we are again! Someone always assassinates our most important men. We don't even know who should we hunt down and kill. Let's hunt down and kill whoever happens to be...well.... let's say in that forest there. What about those evil men guarding the sea? Let's hunt them down too, or at least provoke a fight.

More than hundred new orcs was recruited to guard Trucdon against possible Zora strike. The Emperor watched at the steep cliffs of Pomlinfolk as fleet passed it. There was no Empire's representatives left there. Now to reestablish Empire's control of the region new scouts and orc patrols need to be recruited and trained in combat. The Pomlinfolk mountains need to be brought back into the fold of Empire. While fleet sailed south to the end, the Emperor received note that mystery man had got lost and will not arrive or arrive later. Many things went way slower than planned, but along with retaking Trucdon the hope flew across the Empire.

Finally, Thunderbolt has reached concentration point. Province was swarming with archers, xbowmen and some NTT's winged knights and refugees from biggest Southern Storm's city cluster. In harbour there was about 50 vessels. This is the last stand. The Enemy: troops of Zora advanced where they should be (that's good), keeping formation all the time - which hasn't broken even when Thunderbolt sailed right before their noses (that's bad). Zora also concentrated his troops from whole theathre of war. Now, inf first line there are knights in full mithril but also special troops in CLOA's, we were expecting them. We have a special surprise for them, but will it work? As far we didn't manage to surprise Zora... We know Zora is expecting us. We are coming! Charge.(or rather Sail) Meanwhile. Sad news reached us, western front has collapsed. All mages died. No more dragons. Army, comparable to army of Zora shruged off our dragon riders like a dust. western Island is standing wide open, no defences again. Our joy was short, very short. Who will stop this river of Mithril (second one is much bigger, we count effectively 2000 marms in first line, these 'endurance' warriors are deadly) ? Looks like Anuii is safe. We no longer are coming for him - that's time of joy for Equator Calm.

We hope the concious age comes after the war is ended. Protopians prefer peace and use the gears of war only for defences. [Article submitted by Protopians (48)] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Foreign Minster cleared his throat. "Sir, the situation is very tense. Resentments and fears from the War still linger and threaten the shaky peace." The Baron stood and roared angrily, "There SHALL be peace. I will maintain Peace, Freedom and Harmony between Nations with an iron first!"

It seems as there's no empire to rule, anyway so... who matters? Last refugees are boarding ships again at Durshire. Meanwhile Vyninr The Liche is recruiting a new undead horde at the Crypt of the Banished Warriors. Will Mathoyoh men so desesperate to join Vyninr to his last battle? Elves, of course, see that too repugnant to be even taken into consideration, but men... who know what men could do in their seek of revenge!

I think that this "Times" newspaper must have limited readership. time to expand into other forms of advertisement. Maybe 300 screaming MARM/MSWO warriors might entice someone to buy them in a hurry when they turn up at your door!? Lord Critchen III thought long and hard on this one.. maybe hard tactics where not the best way to sell equipment. Buy us or we slay you is not the best selling technique...
