This eve Covian guardsman joined forces with warriors from Yew, Trinsic, Vesper and further afield to storm the capital in a bid to end the reign of the elf king Casca.
Casca's spies had earned their pay however as the brave band of Covians we're ambushed as they made their way from the barracks. The king's sellswords were nay match for Covian steel though and the guardsmen made their way to the Minoc portal and marched into Stonekeep, the rallying point for the assault on Britain.
Forces from many nations were gathered in Yew with the bulk of them heading out with heavy mage support, while the combined forces of Cove and Yew took the more treacherous route eastwards to attack the capital's western flank.
The combined Covian and Yewish force met fierce resistance but battled bravely onwards. Hardly a warrior on the field was left unscathed but still they pressed on and arrived in Britain ahead of the other prong of the pincer.
The king had already made good his escape before the invading force marched into Britain, with rumours he has sought haven with orcs.
But this night Covians ate, drank and made merry in Britain with the king's forces vanquished. Another Covian victory!
For Cove!
