>
>  But wait . . . reports have surfaced that kingdoms to
>  the south and east are marshaling their forces for
>  invasion . . . for their own croplands, seahorse pens,
>  and the like have washed out to the oceans in the
>  ravaging storms . . . and rather than rebuild their
>  own, they would take what is rightfully ours by force
>  of arms!
>
>
>  We are confident we can handily defeat the invaders .
>  . . as we have year after year with the help of our
>  stalwart friends and allies!
