Quoted By:
The encirclement tightened and tightened until the moment it began to squeeze out the Svengalians. Who were begging to be cut down more and more, their cries for mercy falling on deaf ears as the encirclement closed in. The Svengalians realised too late that they would lose this island forevermore, as the steel of the Greifswalder sapped the life from them.
In the end, very few prisoners were taken, a testament to how heavy the fighting had been, but it had been a triumph; the slugging against the castle and the loss of your beloved trebuchet notwithstanding, the north of Rosand was now in your hands.
The question was what to do next; there was one last castle inland, but its ability to check your march south was doubtful.
You could simply bypass it, take the cities down south, and declare the matter a fait accompli while suing for peace, but that would be risky.
>March to the south; let none stand in our way.
>It should be done piece by piece, to the castle.
