Lagnin, Hoglor, and the other dwarves were allowed to enter Midland through the gates without fuss. The wagon were they had hidden the severed heads of the eight minotaurs that were slain back at the camp was unchecked, however, considering the fact that they were dwarves, the minotaurs who served as sentries, there at the Midland gate did not seem to be suspicious of anything, thus affirming the fact that they were truely unaware of the pronouncement of the civil war, and also the presence of the elven army that was now a bit closer to the Midland gates.It was now sunset, Lord Mordian and his army were positioned behind a grassy elevetion that made it impossible for the minotaur sentries there at the Midland gates, to have a clear view of the elven ranks."Do the minotaurs position any artillery on the crenellations?" Captain Mojrond asked.Lord Mordian shaded his eyes from the sun, strained his eyes and tilted it to the left a bit, so he could avoid the obstruction that was caused

The arrows released from the minotaurs caught some of the archers, who shot their arrows from the towers. When the elven archers at the tower saw that the minotaurs began to strike back, they began to take cover, some of them pulled their wounded comrades from the attack platforms, while some who were unlucky fell from the tower which was up to a hundred feet, dying immediately they touched ground.The strike back from the defenders became intense, and after a sometime, what caught Lord Mordian's gaze brought him great fear, and in that very instant, he began to have goosebumps.A barrage of torched missiles, made their way into the sky, after springing up from inside the gates. "All units on the right flank, disembark from your position!" Lord Mordian bellowed, upon sighting the trajectory of some of the projectiles, which was aimed at the right flank of his army ranks.The elven soldiers at the aforementioned position immediately took to their heels, so they could avoid the incomin

After Lagnin, Hoglor, and the eight dwarves had incited their compatriots into staging an uprising against the colonial government, the dwarves began to organise attacks on the minotaurs that resided in Midland, both civilian and military. The dwarves found the motivation to help overthrow Gudfejn Jaggedhide's government, when Lagnin showed them the severed heads of the minotaurs that were killed back at the elven camp, and also when it became clear to them that the Aran Sereng was leading the elves to lay siege on Midland.They took up long spears, swords and clubs, loitered around the streets of Midland, and began destroying the possessions, and infrastructures that belonged to their Gorelish colonial masters.It was at that point that Lagnin, Hoglor and their accomplices where shocked to their bone marrows because just before the dwarves began to revolt, they went underground and brought out other artillery weapons that they had hidden. This included gastraphetes (siege crossbows)

The mounted soldiers on the elven side galloped steadily on a quick pace, while they led the units on foot as they charged menacingly at the minotaurs, however it was not long before the elves closed in on their adversaries and a bloody skirmish began.With the elves now one on one with the minotaurs, they began jabbing, thrusting and hacking at one another, however Lord Mordian and his army showed spirit, fighting with bravery, not minding the fearsome stature of their enemies, and the dreaded blows of their labrys.Meanwhile, the previous day, prince Elrond had granted Lord Mordian's request by handing over to him the armor of Serdi the brave, an armor he decided to wear to this ongoing battle in Midland. It was a golden chest plate armour, with the head of a lion crested in the middle. Diamond stones encircled the crested figure and the shoulders of the unique gear which was as admirable as it was sacred.The golden greaves, and bracers where also decorated with diamonds, and lion
STEEL AND FLESH THE THIRD CIVIL WAR: The battle of Dunfelm 1
Upon hearing news of king Arron Thickroar and his army marching towards Dunfelm, the allied leaders moved with their armies to face him in battle, however they hoped that their decision to entrust Lord Mordian with an army to lay a siege on Midland would yield a positive result, which was to dissolve the Gorelish colonial government, and deliver the long ranged armaments to the allied forces.The allied leaders also sent some envoys including Klara, who they saw as a diplomat, to Ogland so they could seek support from the orcs.Despite the four leaders sending the envoys to Ogland, they were doubtful that the orcs would heed to their request and join the alliance.Soon the allied army were now upon Dunfelm, a small grassy region that was part of Pinkiland and they halted upon sighting the minotaur ranks. Members of the allied forces were taken aback, by the sudden appearance of the minotaurs, but the fact that they were able to catch up with them, while they were making their journey
STEEL AND FLESH THE THIRD CIVIL WAR: The battle of Dunfelm 2
The clash of steel and wood reverberated through out the battlefield, now intermingled with squirms of pain, and anguish.The initial carnage was horrendous, with both sides fresh and eager to attack their enemy. Every blow was effective and deadly, with the elves and goblins exhibiting their quick movements to attack, while the trolls showed how ruthless they could be, however the minotaurs were not in any way short of skill, and motivation.The minotaurs were swift and merciless, hacking their labrys at any of their adversaries, that stood in their way. As the Gorelish forces fought, they tried to achieve a breakthrough, or even an envelopment of one of the two wings, since they could not afford a draw, because they had intended to end the battle quickly, and continue their journey to Midland.The fighters that made up the allied forces however had to hold their lines, an act which they were able to do effectively, preventing the enemy from penetrating through their ranks despite th

Upon Lagnin's order, arrows were let out of the various armaments that the dwarves were in possession of. The dwarves were also very careful with their aim, so as to avoid their missiles from catching their allies.Prince Elrond kept on jabbing and thrusting, until his strength depleted. He began to lose hope, and he began to feel that his dream of Pinkiland being independent, peaceful and prosperous began to fade upon the the gruesome rampage of the minotaurs, and the carnage of his soldiers, including his allies.He began to consider himself as dead, and though he kept on fighting, he was expecting a wicked point to land home, on him, or a thrust that would end his life.As the allied forces who were already encircled by the minotaurs kept on fighting, suddenly their enemies began drop down dead, all thanks to the numerous missiles that were shot at them.This wave of attack brought a considerable amount of losses to the Gorelish side, however at the sight of the reinforcements, pri
