Clarion Restored As Elk Empire Loses It's Nose

Mayor Bighorn is losing ground and the support of his troops as Clarion County has now regained its independence from the Elk Empire. According to sources from the Clarion Psych, Elk troops were forced to abandon Clarion territory after losing six cities to collapsed tunnels. Each industrial city was a hub to an average of three people. Now, they are no more.

The Jefferson County military has been hard at work utilizing their tunnel hogs to dig unstable tunnels beneath the cities occupied by Elk forces. Although it comes at the cost of Clarion having no homes to return to, the residents of the region can rest assured it is a completely idiotic war, given that the Elk aren't really doing anything other than claiming the land as their own.

Now that Clarion has re-established the borders that were previously erased by the Elk Empire, Jefferson is setting its focus on the home of Jefferson County. If successful in taking back their own county, re-establishing the border between Jefferson and Indiana, Pennsylvania will scientifically cut off the neck of the Elk embarrassment, causing all the territories to return to their natural appearance.

Elk County fought hard under Mayor Bighorn to expand their territories. Now, it seems they are without a nose to guide them in these dark times. Where is Rudolph the Red-Nosed Elk when you need him?

The loss of Venango County was a minor setback to Mayor Bighorn, given that Elk lose their horns all the time. Clarion was the nose of the Empire. Its loss leaves them with nothing to smell out enemy advancements. They must now depend fully on Elk intelligence to survive. This will be a challenge since their dumbness increases every time they run into the side of a moving vehicle.
