The NPC Raiders' campaign of nuisance found no better fortune this turn than on any prior day, their incursions upon Santa Cruz and Cano Araguao both meeting firm rebuff. NAEP's garrison held Santa Cruz for Spain with practiced ease, while KAMI's defenders did likewise at Cano Araguao, preserving British colours over that distant harbour. Yet where KAMI's cannon proved merely defensive elsewhere, its ambitions bore fruit at Pedro Cay: the neutral isle that slipped from the clan's grasp only yesterday has now been claimed outright for Great Britain, ending its spell as unclaimed ground and closing the very door that frustrated KAMI but a day prior. The treasury leaderboard records no change of rank, but KAMI's grip upon the summit tightens further still. The clan's port tally climbs from thirty-nine to forty, Pedro Cay's capture the evident cause, and no rival stirs to challenge the primacy it has long held. The hierarchy remains fixed at its head, though the margin by which KAMI leads grows daily more emphatic.
