MZA Castle British Conquered!
Castle British Conquered!
The Britannian Armed Forces failed to repel the Crimson Order's siege of the castle late last night. Two successive waves decimated the BAF troops, their second major defeat in recent history. The pitched battle for several hours, neither side giving its enemy quarter.
The defenders managed to slay Soke Bishimi of the Blue Lotus, which in turn caused Shidoshi Garrett of BL to avenge his leader's death by leading a charge through the BAF lines. Chaos spread into the throne room where the battle was ultimately decided.
Once her victory was secured, Nosfentor began to move in immediately. When asked why she set her sights on the castle, she grinned wickedly and said she "liked the view... and my horse needs a place to roam.” She also had a message for the BAF and the High Council, "Why continue to fight? You can't win! Just give us your cities, plead loyalty to the Empress of Tokuno, and you will be spared." This is an unlikely course of events for the Council to take.
"They fought valiantly, they did," states Cathleen the castle guard about the BAF. "Held their own, till they broke ranks and allowed the enemy into the castle proper..." The castle guards are currently trying to protect the loitering nobles from harm.
Aelina, a Magincian noble seeking refuge from the rumored demonic invasion, chastised the BAF. "How dare they leave us to succumb to the whims of these ruffians, like they did Cove! I demand to be rescued this instant!" She continued with a diatribe to unseemly to print.
The mood amongst the castle staff is abnormally grim, especially amongst the kitchen staff. Crates of fresh human remains were to be delivered as Nosfentor's preferred source of sustenance. Royal Chef Antonia quit in disgust over the matter, and snuck out of the castle. Sherry the Mouse offered to share the massive stockpile of cheese she acquired over the years with any castle resident in need.
I found a BAF soldier, who would only speak on the promise of anonymity, limping away from the castle after the battle. I asked for his thoughts regarding the defeat, "We have been slacking at our defenses, and can't seem to work together... The leadership isn't taking the ball and leading us in the right direction. Hopefully, they will get off the bottle and help us win..."
When approached, a dejected looking Polynikes, Grand Marshal of the BAF, declined to comment. The Chancellor of the High Council could not be reached for comment.
Evil now sits on the throne of Britannia. The village of Cove serves Tokuno's interests.
Whose side will you be on?
