the Teutonic allies to make further
gains, in the regions of Ocna and

Between Ireshti and Fokshani a ma

ders have taken steps to restore the
former status of the line by filling the
gap with loyal men.

bounds the price of wheat for all
transactions throughout the present

prices of -four and bread also. The
