Supported by GBH and Smellyson Ronald has given a live video address to the Dino Republic from his flagship Dinomark which is returning from its mission to Smolask to destroy the ash cannon. In a slightly shakey and low voice Ronald sought to reassure his battered people that the war was winnable and that the Zones would be punished.
"Fellow Dinos, earlier today we faced one of the largest battles and costliest days in the history of our armed forces. Our homeland has been struck by criminals in the pay of our enemies and many civilians have paid the ultimate price.
"You all know my loss but i also feel your loss. The thousands who have died since the start of this war, i feel all of their losses. But i say this, their losses will not be vain. The war is being won, our enemies have thrown everything into one last desperate attempt to defeat us but we held firm. Our enemies have nothing left, we still have our freedom, our values, our democracy, our lives.
"The criminals who involved themselves in our war with the Bolitic have made a mistake. A deadly mistake. We will punish them for their audacity. We will punish them for their criminal targeting of civilians. We will punish them for their greed. We will punish them for their involvement in affairs that are not their business."
The video was suddenly cut off, rumoured to be because Ronald began barking.
