Without confirming that Minos was behind the attacks, the Orcish Empire intelligence scribe said that the Orcish Empire was essentially told of the air raids "after the fact" and was notified as the fireballs went off. Minotaur dragons fireballed Slymetunnel on Sunday for the second time in 48 hours. ...

Malaysia coalition extends rule despite worst electoral showing
