The forces that went to the fortress that was briefly sieged are recalled from it and the commanders chastised for the massive waste of time and faithful. Given the Tizzonarden seem to be incapable of flying a modest distance for some reason, future reform is noted as being required for them in the future. However there is still some use that can come of them in our advance. The main force is to march south, fully cutting off the Lessers from their supply and forcing them to rely on makeshift ports to transport goods rather than any overland route while also being able to apply pressure on the enemies main forces flank. Given the majority of our enemies lands are occupied and hold Ordalan civilians. At least, we believe they do. For all we know the Lessers could have purged the Ordalan and started settling their people in the lands already.
Still, while the main force marches to join up with the Ordalan and strike the main lesser force from behind, the Imbuato and Tizzonarden will move ahead, the former being sure to strike at any foraging parties to ensure that the already limited food stocks of the Lessers becomes even more strained. Meanwhile, the Tizzonarden, armed with flame potions, will head to any makeshift docks along the coast that are found to destroy them and the vessels docked there. Due to the nature of these locations, it is expected that the fires will consume much in the way of vessels and the supply upon them. Similarly, any sort of camps set up by the Lessers will likewise be struck. If their camps are alight, not only will their dwindling food stocks be destroyed but so too will their weapons. These actions will ensure that their continued march and attack in a hostile land will be an absolute nightmare.
All of this damage, combined with the fact that we are striking from their flank and they are an invading force that has been bloodied by combat while our own forces are mostly fresh should ensure that their invasion force is completely destroyed with no escape to their home which, after these devastating losses, will surely be defenseless and force the enemy to the table. The only question is how long it will take to destroy the Lessers in the pocket they have blindly walked into.
