"The ruler of King's Guard is a bloated merchant, with little interest in military endeavours," General Asquith explained. "His defences are weak, but I have not been able to capture the settlement due to the threat of attack from Moonguard. Greed has prevented any profitable diplomacy with him, so assault would be your only option."

The men reseraching Belkarth guard found it somewhat difficult to unravel the mysteries of the town's governence, and any attempts to convert the culture of the town would require full control of the town's legislature. The new Ministry for Redguard-Orc Relations in Belkarth Guard recommended the creation of a Deregulation Commission and a Constitutional Committee to draft plans for the streamlining and reduction in the laws of Belkarth Guard, but it would take months for a plan to be drafted, and even longer for them to be implemented. The estimated cost for such institutions would be 200,000 gold to set up.

However, given the large cultural discrepancy between Orcs and Redguards, Krozum would be better off keeping the town under its current administration rather than running a Redguard town directly.

The scouting party found the Nimbel was rather poorly defended, with short stone walls falling into disrepair. Curiously, the soldiers of the town were very well equipped and disciplined, despite the status of the fortifications.

1st of Second Seed

The Pikemen attempted to remain in contact with the swordsmen, but didn't quite manage due to their tight formation. However, they were too close to the Swordsmen for the ranged troops to have any chance at a clean shot.

Once the Pikemen engaged with the Swordsmen in close quarters, the fared better than last time, killing 34 of the Swordsmen, bringing their number down to 545, whilst suffering around 2 casualties of their own. Both units were in good spirit, but they were also tiring from the combat.
