Demon and Men preparing for the greatest epic battle in History?

Rumours go round that almost all human realms from both the allies of the undead and the allies of the monsters are planning to amass together. They are amassing with only one objective: Jobbo's Mouth. In and around Jobbo's Mouth, the Sintian Volcano located in far north west of Beluterra, a group of around 1866 dragon demons have gathered and taken over the volcano. This is the second time the dragons have tried to take the mountains over, but thanks to a large group of monsters and a well organized Sintian army the dragons never succeeded the first time. This time however, the Sintians are largely outnumbered. Even due to the financial aid from Avalon and Melhed wich was a nice coffer filled with 500 golden coins from Avalon and an unknown amount from Melhed, they couldn't raise a large enough army to defeat the Dragons in Jobbo's Mouth. The demons have a combined strength of 100 K CS, the rumours say that humanity and it's allies are trying to raise and Equal amount of CS to battle the Demons divided, in different groups. This is, as said, 'the only way to Defeat them'.

Daimons Assemble

In the past few days, the Daimons have altered their world-domination strategy. Instead of seeking out multiple fortified mountain regions from which to direct their conquests, the Netherworld is focusing all their strength into conquering one single region, the great volcano at Jobo's Mouth. Currently, reports show six Daimon dreadlords command 17 assorted Daimon contingents, warbands, hordes, etc. The Daimons seem to be able to command multiple military units at once. The Daimonic strength assembled at the mouth of the volcano is almost *EDIT* OVER *ENDEDIT* 100,000 CS a daunting number that is a great threat to Sint and for that matter, the whole continent. Oh, and Neo Grehk was formed to defend the lands west of the great lake.

Daimons halted in Marpii

This morning, a Repulican coalition made of of Fronen, Melhed, Riombara, and the undead went into battle in Marpii. Dreadlord Mysterious of the Netherworld commanded 327 demons against a little over 2200 coalition forces. Estimated combat strength of the demons was 13700 CS, while estimated combat strength of the coalition was 27800 CS. Defense Minister Tiridius used a successful "waves" strategy which involved having a strong group of defensive infantry in front to break the demon's charge and strong offensive troops behind to damage the demons once their charge was broken. However, after the battle, Dreadlord Mysterious summoned about 125 more demons which will have to be dealt with by the troops remaining in the region.

Daimons tramp across Fronen

While Fronenian, undead, and Melite forces prepared to attack Dreadlord Arcane's Daimonic army in Qual, another band of Daimons crossed into Jyl and then proceeded to the Fronenian city, Vur Hagin. Vur Hagin is the smallest and most lightly defended city in the Republic. The Daimons met with minimal resistance, the allied armies (except for a Riombaran contingent crossing Fronen's southern border]] remaining stationed further north, away from the city.

Daimons Move on

After conquering the mountains of Jedinchal on Fronen's western border, the Daimonic forces have adopted a "divide and conquer strategy" with one large army advanceing into Fronen, another continuing the assault on Old Grehk and a third smaller army headed to attack Valentia. As of now, the Daimonic regiment in Fronen is holding steady in the mountains of Qual without beginning a takeover. Meanwhile, Fronen's forces prepare to purge our territories of these hideous creatures. An undead horde led by the legendary commander Maldiciones is prepared to aid Fronenian forces, as are (supposedly) Melite troops led by Defense Minister Bimbo. With any luck, the Daimonic contingent within Fronen's borders can be successfully repulsed.

Daimon Report

The Daimons have been gaining strength recently, concentrating their forces in a few select mountain regions. Sint, land of Hemaists are seeing their volcano, Jobo's Mouth taken over by a large army of daimons. Avalon also has seen some daimons in the mountains near the jewel of Avalon, Wudenkin City. Closest to Fronen thogh is a massive 40k army of Daimons trying to take over the mountains of Jedinchal. While Jedinchal is technically part of Old Grehk, it is a region just across the border and thus is a grave threat to Fronen, particulrly the mountain men in Qual. Fronenian troops are begining to assemble now. The three Fronenian armies will be joined by an undead legion led by Dreadlord Dimitri. Reports also tell us that 10k CS of Melite troops will also be coming to fight the Daimonic masses in Jedinchal. With any luck the Daimonic bands across the border can be vanquished in one great show of force.

Fwuvoghor Sacked... Again

This morning, the city of Fwuvoghor was invaded by Daimonic Hordes led by Dreadlord Arcane. A force of over 17000 CS, full of all sorts of Vile Creatures broke through the already weakened defenses of Fwuvoghor. If you recall, Fwuvoghor was occupied by ECA forces last April. Now, even with help from the Necromancer's Servants, Fwuvoghor still could not hold it's own. Other nations near Fwuvoghor (like Riombara, Avalon, and Enweil) probably ought to pay attention to Arcane's Army.

Sucessful Defense

Today a Vast Army of Daimons, led by Dreadlord Ethereal attacked Fronen's capital city, Fronepu. With three unique items on Fronen's side, morale was not an issue in this battle. Ethereal's horde had 215 demons (whose strength totaled about 14000 CS) while Fronen amassed a defending force of 2096 men (whose strength was about 25000 CS). The battle had a heavy cost for Fronen. many lives were lost, and much money was spent to levy so many soldiers. The Prime Minsiter and Finance Minister were both wounded, as were two Counts. The great Fortress of Fronepu lost it's thick outer wall, reducing it to a mere Stronghold. Still though, the Republic has survived, and the Daimonic Dreadlord Ethereal was killed along with all the rest of his foul creatures.

*EDIT* Unfortunately, a second Daimonic army led by Dreadlord Arcane is currently in Fronen's southernmost region, Cori. He is headed into Avalon, but luckily for the Avalonians Arcane's legion seems to be traveling through Lacint, bypassing the Avalonian capital city. Avalonian and Fronenian officials speculate the horde (over 17000 Cs strong, mightier even than the Horde which tried to enter Fronepu) is taking the sea road often travelled by ECA armies. this is the road leading straight to Fwuvoghor. While this is of course pure speculation, Arcane's path is clearly a lucky break for Avalon.

The coming siege

In the past few days, the Republic of Fronen has been attacked by the Daimons. A large Daimonic horde led by the Dreadlord Ethereal has defeated the small contingents of Fronenian and Melite troops that stood against them. Now the Daimons are moving southwards through the pleasant farmlands of Seven Rivers towards Fronen's capital, the eastern seaport city of Fronepu. The Horde's strength has been estimated at about 13000 CS, while the Fronenian defense amassed in the capital is estimated at over 21000 CS. The Daimons have already sacked one capital city (Creasur in Plergoth) and Fronen is determined to not let that happen again.
