Newland City attacked by Legion forces
June 30, 29480 - [Atlantean]
IRRK (Newland City) - The peace of the City of Newland was horrifically disturbed tonight in an assault which was described by one witness as "intense and vicious."
Residents of Newland City noted unusual activity around 23:00 RST on the night of June 29th. This morning, at 00:15, witnesses say a large force of Legionaries entered the city of Newland at the main gate. A figure which was identified as "The Imperator" -- their leader, as sources indicate -- was present for the beginning of the attack and gave the nanomage forces the command to "kill everything."
As the aggressors would soon learn, the Neutrals had little tolerance for this behavior and would not go quietly. A massive force led by Trade Minister Mohammad "Jujuwalker" Clancy of the Newland City Council valiantly fought back against the Legion forces, forcing them to give up considerable ground and make several retreats.
"The sense of duty and bravery shown by Minister Clancy and his defense force was great," said General Hekkat in a brief statement. "When informed of the situation, I sent in as many Militia reinforcements as possible. However when we saw the size of the defense force, we were all very confident that the situation was being handled."
After the Legionary forces were defeated, residents began to celebrate, but this celebration was cut short when an individual identified as "Lord Delenath" entered the city. Delenath, apparently commander in the Legion's ranks, single-handedly battled the entire defense force, striking many down and presenting a considerable challenge until he was finally defeated.
"Citizens should make note that Newland City is safe," General Hekkat explained. "The City Council has gone to great lengths to make sure my guards are in top form. Anyone looking to cause trouble in Newland has a lot more than just my Militia to worry about."
