== The second advance ==

I spent some time resupplying and observing, expecting to hear back from the leaders of West Uuqita but never receiving any information. I didn’t know how long I would stay in Fenpr for, so I made another blunder and failed to start raising an army. I stayed at Torvaldsen for over a month and definitely could have recruited more troops, but I failed to consider doing so.

At one point the East Uuqitans unsuccessfully attempted to breach Hounslow. After this, capitalizing on the Uuqitans’ poor morale following a military defeat, I rushed to meet them in battle in an attempt to deal justice to the Uuqitans. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful in both of my ensuing attempts to repel the East Uuqitan army from the fortress due to the opponent rolling double sixes twice. Sometimes, war is lopsided.

During the second attempt, however, General Yuqiwuara was set to arrive halfway through the assault. I was able to send a messenger and convince them not to intervene. They put significant trust in me especially as they had already promised aid to the East Uuqitan general (this I had learned from an intercepted message).

This ill-fated expedition returned me back to Torvaldsen to regroup (once again, foraging on the way). I was not without hope, however. In fact, there were some things happening in the rest of Fenpr that would prove capable of tipping the scales.
