Your domestication efforts go well. Judging by the traits of these particular gigantulas, it appears that they are the descendants of those your ancestors raised, meaning this redomestication may go fairly quickly. Though small in number now, the group will reach breeding age soon.

A small settlement is founded near the onyx, working on extracting what they can from the vein. The government is being very careful to stockpile this resource, however, attempting to prevent the lowering of prices that would come from flooding the market. This also helps feed your growing population, and the gigantulas. Meanwhile, Reptia and Homeria have gone to war, the former having a slight edge, or so you hear. Lastly, while gnoll sightings have not been increasing, footprints in the jungle have been found that don't match any known creature. Any known creature, that is, except the strange beast you fought in the temple a few years prior.

The reform is instituted with ease, the elderly general demanding it be passed during a hearing on the matter. With the trainers being hired, your men gain a large amount of experience, both your standing army and your levies. With the emphasis on hit and run tactics, you play to your strengths, rather than your weaknesses. This is important, as Capantan informs you (for a bit of money) that Danzay appears to be preparing for war again, though it's not clear against who. They believe it is against their southern neighbors, however, the Legs do not wish to take chances. Lastly, a large amount of food has started to be traded by the Drybacks, causing some concern as it may deincentivize your farmers from growing much.

A tariff is placed on Ieran farm goods, while effort is put into spreading more advanced farming practices and hunting down breeding lands. This is handled by a new position called the Agricultural Leg, which is held by Mono. While this tariff seems to upset Ieran traders, there are more concerning matters on your hands. It appears that a massive gnollish army is heading towards Nichitin once again, its numbers far larger than before. It is two weeks away right now!

>>3914129
The army totals 5,000, and appears to include some creatures like the giant beast you fought before.

1.) Trap convenient ways through the jungle, so that they either slow their advance to minimize losses or lose many. 2.) Poison readily available sources of freshwater n their most likely route.
3.) Attack their supply routes
4.) Set ambushes and then quickly retreat preferably through trapped terrain.

>>3914129
We'll conscript 7k of the People's Defence force alongside our standing army. The army will be mobilized under the following objectives:
1. As we move through the jungle we will lay a series of traps to slow down the enemy and further decrease their numbers
2. We will launch a series of fast, hit and run ambushes on the enemy army and supply routes over the course of their advance in order to further decrease their numbers and destroy their supplies.
3. When withdrawing we will lead the enemy to an easily defensible position for us.

Your raids are solid, small groups of arachenians proving their worth as they harass the gnollish supply line. Along with smaller traps and other things that the gnolls were not expecting (not due to a lack of expertise, but due to not expecting you to have the expertise), the enemy takes not insignificant casualties. You also believe they're a bit demoralized.

The only bit of bad news is that in this relatively flat portion of the jungle, there is no area to which you can attempt to hold them as they move.

As the gnolls march towards Nichitin, you cause a few minor disturbances, but stop after a time. Led by General Silkstore, you seclude yourself away on top of a mountain, just out of eyesight from the jungle below. Below there is a clearing, one that the General's lieutenant (and spurned friend) Steinin believes will be where the gnolls make camp for the night. On a whim, your commander decides to listen to the arachenian he would normally dismiss. As the mid-afternoon begins to pass, his faith is not misplaced, as the gnolls begin to wander into the area, tired and ready to camp. That is when you begin to strike

Your shots ring down onto the gnolls as they begin to camp, some being hit, and some just scrambling about in confusion.

DEAD HEAT

While you succeed in hitting some gnolls, what you weren't expecting was the charge of the colossi up the hill! Brandishing blades, and clubs, they slam into your infantry and begin to put significant pressure on it, with many of your men terrified by them. However, there are not many of them, and your line holds steady. Killing them now may be simple, and will thoroughly crush the gnollish army's attempt at attacking! General Silkstore also considers retreating, thinking the benefits outweigh the cost.

CRITICAL FAILURE

Your archers fail to see over the colossi, resulting in a miserable failure when it comes to their aim. As such, the colossi are soon reinforced by their comrades, who have now climbed the hill! Their frontline is quite thin, but it appears a group of their infantry has detached and is aiming for your archers. However, with the vanguard weaved in with the colossi, attempting to move men to stop that group could see your lines collapse, especially as the gnollish archers finally get to launch their own barrage!

"Vengeance is at hand ! KILL THEM ALL ! FOR THE REPUBLIC !"

SUCCESS

Your line extends slightly, managing to stop their infantry before they can take on your archers. On top of that, some of the enemy colossi finally appear to be falling, allowing your men to finish them off. Though towering at around 15 to 20 feet, once they lose enough blood (or are cut down a bit), they can be beaten, and that has given your men enough morale to carry on.

You pull out without further casualties, your tired opponents just setting up camp as you retreat. Within a week, you've compiled your numbers of the wounded and the dead:

200 professionals dead
300 heavily injured
400 lightly injured
600 uninjured

700 dead
1300 heavily injured
3000 lightly injured
2000 uninjured

The majority of your casualties appear to have come from the rush the colossi made on your front line. Your scouts report the gnolls are hurting a lot more, their army seemingly reduced to about 3,000 and 50 colossi (compared to 150 at the start), though an army of 4,000 is moving forward from the south.

This compromise is accepted, though after, you become curious due to a bit of information you acquire. A gnoll captured and tortured after the battle states that their god, who had not been seen in millennia, returned to them some years ago and asked them to exterminate your people. Apparently, the regular purges you experienced were something he mandated millennia ago as well, though it was forgotten as the sun cult most tribes follow overtook their native religion. At least, until after the Third Light, when the old faith experienced a resurgence after the devastation caused by the sun. Most interestingly, they say he takes the form of a gnoll, but far larger, like the artwork you saw in the temple.

And with that, winter begins.

Call on the able bodied veterans of the past two Gnollish Wars to join the army, lending their experience to our standing force and increasing its size. Offer land as alternative to money upon honorable completion of their services. Begin training of Gigantulas as beasts of war, specifically to counter gnoll Colossi.

Fortifying the hamlets with at least wood begins to occur in most areas, paranoia after the war as well as the news of this religious directive from the south being the biggest instigator. However, with your significantly growing wealth, this is not a major issue.

With Ier breathing down Reptia's neck, Reptia and Humeria agree to a truce, the latter nation being small and not wishing to have their population cut down further.

The Brotherhood of the Spear, the religious order supposedly controlling most of the power of the Rok and Roll faith, are more than willing to assist both monetarily and physically with building a temple. While the regular blood priests began ceremonies there by the end of the year, a few Brotherhood members stick around inside a dwelling next to the temple, perhaps to monitor your devotion. There are talks of their order having previous ties to the jungle, but that might just be a myth, like the man who could control emus. Nevertheless, the presence of your brothers in faith cheers up the population a lot.

The Festival of Lights is held and is wildly successful among your population, although less so among the foreign states. Ier doesn't even bother sending a no. However, some merchants from the archipelago and Isarn do come, and they are welcomed. Considering its popularity, it is decided that the festival will become a winter tradition, held before the coming of spring.

Speaking of which, spring has sprung.

G. Colonization


We will colonize near the water allowing us a faster connection and in four specify small regions, giving to our people new lands for farming (+ fishing) and more prosperity. Thanks to the colonies being near the republic, they will be protected like the rest of our lands. The colonization is divided in 4 settlers efforts : the first in the west near the springs of our prosperous river. The second is on the opposing bank of the great river that forms in lake Larope. The third is on the north of the great lake, near our homeland. The fourth one is the smallest of all, and it s near our capital in the spring that comes from the south)


////
4 years have pass (so we have fully recover from the war losses) and the colonizing effort is done in small specify regions. So more food and after a few years more people (plus the colonies are near : so easy to defend and thanks to the water easy to communicate with), also better trade with the greedy guys to the south.

As your trade with the outside world increases, so too does your access to foreign technology. Learning from Ieran artisans, your people easily adapt to the art of pottery, and due to your four hands, truly take on the art as something of your own. In other news, it appears that the gnolls are frequently visiting the temple in the south for something. Meanwhile, General Silkstore is leading a search for any information regarding the gnollish god, and why he wants you all dead.
