The propaganda emanating from the "Free Realms" reaches fever pitch as their mobile forces are slaughtered mercilessly attempting to defend their hopeless takeover of Akanos. In a glorious victory, the Empire's armies crushed the forces of all four enemy realms, leaving them with less than 2000 CS between them.
The Aenilian Harbinger (Judge) was captured during the battle. The Cathayan High Marshal was also captured as she attempted to flee alone through Arcaean territory.
