Naturally, those from the North of Sidney did not need to be mentioned, and the Northern Kingdom, in the spirit of giving the southern barbarians of Sidney a lesson, hadn't even waited for Durin to speak before the media from both sides started spewing venom at each other.
The Paris Times viciously attacked the Northern barbarians, accusing them of being slave traders whose nature had not changed, while the Copenhagen Vanguard harshly criticized the southern barbarians of Sidney as having lost the hearts of the people and reverted to their old ways.
Then newspapers from various regions began voluntarily joining in, clearly choosing sides and attacking each other.
In June, Durin formally announced the expansion of the troops.
