Hi, Here's the second part of the battle report! Will Miss Alison be rescued?
At dawn, the expedition early left their campsite in search of the missing Miss Alison, the march towards the Mpopo canyon would not take more than three hours of steady marching. Under the cover of night, the natives gathered more warriors to stop the rescue expedition but still they decided to await for the ideal time to launch their final large attack. In the meanwhile, several warriors were tasked with harassing the expedition with throwing spears and demoralizing the porters by leaving signs of witchcraft! Afraid by the witchdoctors of the Kapiti, the porters slowed down and were soon forming the back of the column, this was the moment the natives were waiting for!
Suddenly the bushes changed into native warriors, instantly clubbing the helpless porters and looting the precious ammunition and food supplies. As fast as the natives appeared as fast they again disappeared! The Ironclad troopers who rushed to the scene found nothing more than the mutilated bodies of the porters. Aware of the lurking danger, the expedition quickly marched towards the Mpopo canyon. It was then that a Royal Navy soldiers saw the smoke of a campfire, most likely the campfire of the missing Miss Alison! Suddenly most of the soldiers sprinted in the direction of the campfire as the smoke would also attract the attention of the Kapiti!
What followed was a race in an attempt to find Miss Alison! The native warriors’ war cry could be heard in the distance as they also raced towards the campsite! Luckily for the expedition Miss Alison had already started to run in the direction of the expedition. This brave and daring move of the lady made it possible for the rescue expedition to quickly protect the lady. Just able to protect Miss Alison hordes of natives ran out of the cover of the tall elephant grass, throwing their javelins as they advanced. Outnumbered 10 to 1, the expedition decided to retreat, covered by a sole brave Ironclad trooper, who was last seen repelling dozens of natives!
“Dear Montgomery,
It has been an nerve breaking time as I was lost in the vast Mbuij Mayian jungle during one of my many trips in search of new plant species. It was on the second day of the Mpopo trip, I had noticed several native warriors scouting the area near the most northern canyon in an attempt to evade them, our party which consisted out Bhutu and Azunde, my two Turi porters who accompanied me on several trips and often defended my life at the risk of losing theirs. As the native warriors cut off our path back to Fort Henry we continued our trip further into the dark jungle, eventually I even lost contact with Azunde and Bhutu! Alone in this dangerous and extremely hostile environment, I decided to follow my tracks back to the Mpopo canyon! There I waited for help! And help soon arrived as Captain Edward Dougle commander of Fort Henry had sent out a rescue party in order to find me! Now I’m back safe at Victoriana and I’m ready to return to Oxford.
Your darling, Miss Alison”

Hizzah Miss Alison is saved!
Miss Alison is save but many brave soldiers have fallen significantly weaking the british garrison at Fort Henry! Hopefully the natives aren't planning a counter attack as the manpower and ammunition are in the fort are low.
