First, I would like to introduce myself. I am Sir BeatSmith, a knight in the service of Knights of The Round Table Alliance.
Thank you dear fellow rulers and nations in your support for our rightful defense of our treaty partner TPE from the attack by a few members of the aNiMaLz alliance. For anyone who didn't know, this is not the first time aNiMaLz had crossed our path. We agreed to peace agreements again and again but Sir Kindle and his followers do not believe in peace I presume.
I also would like to inform you that we did not want to start this war in the first place. However, we also don't take lightly to threats of aggression toward ourselves or our protectorates. While we offered diplomatic solution for the conflict earlier, we were denied by Sir Kindle. He failed to mention he asked for extortion - 9 mil, 100 tech, and 4K soldiers to be exact - in exchange for not raiding The Prussian Empire. We don't deal with extortionists.
In case, Sir Kindle is the first one to break the treaty between KORT and aNiMaLz by attacking TPE 7 hours after he inquired if we are going to honor our protectorate treaty with TPE or not. We engaged only aNiMaLz nations who attacked TPE or KORT members. Other non-hostile aNiMaLz members have not been engaged and continue to rule their nations as usual.
Anyone who does want to act as mediator is welcomed to our KORT forums (http://cn-knights.net) and request an embassy if he does not have one already.
What aNiMaLz and their allies do in their war against other alliances are their business and not ours. We can not be held responsible or be swayed from one faction to another because this does not concern us. Our problem with aNiMaLz is clear and definite.
Finally, for those who are talking about their honour, I do like to remind them, "There is no honor among thieves."
