Military action
Led by the High Lamia Princesses, the Aenorian Armies outmaneuver and obliterate the remaining armies of the Hegemony in a brilliant battle at the Saccharine Fields, crushing the greatest hope the surface had at freedom and breaking the Hegemony's attempt to destroy them.
With the High Lamia Princesses leading the campaign of slaughter, the armies of the Aenorian Empire retake the ground lost to the Hegemony in the war's onset, pushing them back to the Saccharine Fields and, in a display of tactical genius, completely and utterly destroy and devour the entirety of the armies sent to the surface to destroy them, utterly breaking the hope that had build up over the decades of subterfuge and planning the Hegemony had done to overthrow them. The surface races fall into a deep despair, as all hope is lost and digested within the stomachs of the High Lamia.
