[The Kingdom of Velys's army has repeatedly failed in their assaults on the Liya Tower Fortress. They have now established a temporary stronghold on the frozen plains, attempting to enter a prolonged standoff with the Empire.]
[Duke Grant's plan to capture Liya Tower Fortress within five days has failed. Army morale is rapidly declining. Additionally, Duke Howard, responsible for attacking the flanks of the defensive line, has also made minimal progress. The ground beneath the walls is already littered with the corpses of siege soldiers. It won't be long before the attackers' morale completely collapses.]
[The Church's Temple Knight, which publicly declared a holy war against the Empire and is currently stationed in the Cartel Mountains, shows no unusual movements.]
[The Empire is eternal. Praise all soldiers bravely fighting at the border frontline.]
