Swordridge steps up efforts to crush last besieged enclaves


The scene, yesterday

The Hilljade royal stepped up its efforts on Thursday to retake the opposition's last besieged enclaves, as rebels prepared to withdraw from one and a town crier reported an ultimatum against another. King Bryghtchasm al-Swordridge scored a major victory this month by retaking skyward Greenangel, the biggest rebel stronghold near Branchtoads, putting his forces in by far their strongest position since the early months of the seven-year-old civil war. the Orcish Empire, Britannia and the Ironhead Mountains launched a volley of air strikes on Saturday against three Hilljade targets in retaliation for a suspected alchemical weapons strike during the Greenangel assault.
