Siege of Viodoxa City

The Siege of Viodoxa City (2 Janurary, 2022), also known as Siege of Viodoxa or the Battle of Viodoxa City was one of the battles of the Second Purple Insurrection.

The battle was one of the largest battles in the history of Viodoxa, fighting in the center of Viodoxa City itself, with roughly 170 players joining in on the fighting between both sides.

The entirety of the battle lasted for 49 minutes, and ended in an overwhelming Archonal Union Victory.

Background
The Siege of Viodoxa City had been planned for several weeks (prior to the holiday truce), with both Archonal Union and Viodoxan forces preparing heavily for the battle.

Preparation
One of several reasons for their defeat was that the Viodoxa Archonate had focused its forces on defending against an attack from the south. Because of this, the north side of the city was relatively undefended, with few defenders present to combat the invaders.

The Battle
The battle officially began at 3:00 PM EST on January 02, 2021. The server was whitelisted due to the size of the battle.

Maxstadt Defense
In Maxstadt, the capital of Eisenland, four soldiers remained in order to fortify the city and act as an alarm system in case of a Viodoxan counter attack. Despite patrolling the outer walls of the city for much of the battle, the effort proved pointless, as no assault on Maxstadt ever came, and the team, later joined by a fifth member, ended up leaving to join the rest of the Union forces in Viodoxa city at the end of the battle. Between their efforts, they sealed off many of the possible breach points into the city, as well as constructing barricades within the city itself.
