“Bancro, inform me the particular causes you’ve gotten labored out.”

“Now, the 250000 troops of the Lorraine empire are urgently constructing a brand new protection line to forestall our military from persevering with to assault south.”
“Due to this fact, a number of of our new methods are to divide our 150000 military into three armies! Three highly effective Knights command the three armies to launch a brand new offensive! “
