Turn 10
20 Arco archers and militias tried to break the siege of the Arco capital, but were annihilated without a single loss to my troops.
About 40 Arco militias, light infantries and archers defended the Marshlands. They were unable to stop my 3rd division, but managed to kill 1 Helhirding.
Sauro did attack Florien this turn and destroyed the independents there, but were thown out of the province by my heavy infantry and the Farstrikers. 24 Sauro lancers and archers were killed with 2 of their commanders (1 commander and 23 troops escaped) while I suffered the loss of 12 archers and heavy infantries (3 form the Farstrikers).
The walls of Arco are still holding and since they keep some troops in the field taking provinces instead of ordering them back to defend their capital I feel that I have to increase the pressure.
3rd and 4th division will join the siege now, which should enable me to storm the walls fairly soon (defense value of a fortified city is "only" 250).
1 Helkarl, 7 Helhirdings and 7 more Mounted Hirdmen are recruited in my capital. If the Arco division in Midland should get aggressive towards me I am fairly confident that I have enough firepower in my currently being build 5th division to squash them.
Some additional archers and heavy infantries are recruited throughout the realm.
At the last minute I decided that the mercs should earn their pay and my own troops will understand the importance of expansion instead of definding. The 2 divisions from Florien and send SE to take the lightly defended indie province of Ligrea, possibly meeting superior forces from Arco and Sauro there...
I keep asking myself what Niefel is up to and am very interested to see what Sauro will make of the little misunderstanding that lead to our border incident...
