Competition: Cryptic Communiquès

Finished
Cryptic Communiquès

Tensions remain high on Eldar. In the wake of recent merciless attacks on Keadean settlements by Sardinian raiders. Though the Sardinians have officially denied knowledge of or involvement in the attacks, Galerian intel on the matter is spotty at best, and non-present at worst. In an effort to improve the situation, military intelligence has begun to intercept transmissions from both sides, attempting to gain knowledge of any attacks of ill-advised retaliatory strikes before they happen.

Decode the below message, and submit it into the textbox. The three messages that are the most quickly and accurately submitted will take placement. Note that the message is both case and punctuation sensitive.

Winners will receive fifth level crescents.

Our blood. Our soil. They can say what they like, claim what they want, but the ashes of the innocent do not lie. Like dogs let off the leash, they lash out at whatever they can sink their fangs into. It must be us, their rightful masters, to put them down, before those outsider fools can intervene.
