12th, May, 4444Lourennais involvment in Mordusia continues, Rebels and Lourennais troops encircle enemies.Lourennais Troops have quickly began to encircle Mordusian troops upon landing in Adubura and HosamiaSince landing on the beaches of Hosamia and Asubura, Lourennais troops have quickly been taking out Mordusian troops
as they begin to complete their primary objectives in the country. The Ministry of Defense set out objectives to first
take any coastal cities and towns in Adubura and Hosamia, rendezvous with troops from the Soul & Spirit rebellion in
northern Hosamia and Sayoon, and finally to secure southern territory in Sammodra and Talasor. These primary objectives
have been met by the thousands of Lourennais troops already in action in Morusia. Supplies, arms, and equipment continue
to be supplied to troops in Mordusia. Troops fighting in Adubura have faced thousands of resistance troops from Mordusia
and casualties have been reported to be high for both sides. Forces of the Soul & Spirit rebellion responded to the offensive
in Adubura by the forces of Mordusia by pushing from northeastern Talasor to meet up with forces from the Lourennais
landings in southeast Hosmania. False intelligence reports and over-cockiness of those leading the offensive in Adubura
caused the encirclement to succeed without much resistance.Once it became clear that the encirclement could no longer be
avoided as troops from the joint forces of Lourenne and the rebellion began pushing south, the bold decision to push into
Talasor was made, and a majority of the 200,000 troops and tanks pushed against the defenses. The defenses were rudimentary
at best,but still somewhat effective. But not good enough to hold back the forces of the Republic of Mordusia. At 10:08 AM the
following morning, a breakthrough was made. Casualties were similar on both sides, as the Republican forces lacked the
incredible numerical superiority and civilian support they had in Adubura. Casualties are around 19,600 for the joint rebellion
forces and 21,000 for the Republican forces.The forces are continuing to move into Talasor slowly, meeting heavy resistance.
Several civilian militias have been noted in key cities,aligning themselves with or against the rebellion.
At home, the Lourennais economy is on slippery slopes. The market in Valois and Eroncourt seems to be lowering despite the
growth seen in the past five years. Economists expect that involvement in Mordusia must be the last conflict that Lourenne
intervenes in or economic troubles may sweep thee nation. The Ministry of Trade and Industry as well as the Ministry of Finance
have stated that the country will be "going into a period of re-building, economic expansion, and monetary sustainability."
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs as well as Lourennais ambassadors have been taking 'hits' in the General Assembly from Istalia
and Vanuku after Lourennais Intervention, however Lourennais Ambassadors have responded appropriately to the Majatran
countries as well as Dorvik and Keymon. Both the Ministry and Defense and thee ministry of Foreign Affairs have stated that
intervention is not on behalf of the Northern Council, something that Istalia and both Vanuku both ignorantly deny to understand.
Yet, intervention in Mordusia "will continue regardless of the words from Istalia and Vanuku", according to the Ministry of Defense.
While the war continues, the Lourennais economy will begin to seek opportunities of expansion to help better the economy and set
spending levels to a lower maximum while the war continues to play out.
More to come.
