Battle Of Jorvick

The Battle of Jorvick took place on July 31st 2021, and was the biggest battle of The War of Drakaen Succession. It was fought between the City-State of Jorvick, which had recenctly been integrated into Mugen, and The League of The Bay of Peace, which consisted of Saror Haven, Smegsland and Puerto Amarillo (predecesor state of The Republic of Amarillo). It saw a narrow victory for Jorvick after intense fighting within the city. The bandits did considerable damage; however the city of Jorvick was able to kill more of the Coalition's troops in a 5-12 ratio, not including kills from Saror Haven's allies.

Start of the battle
The army of the Coalition and some citizens from other nations such as Astapf rallied at a battle camp. 2 minutes before the battle, they used scaffolding to climb up a wall and run down into the main part of the city. It has been noted by historians that, throughout the battle, the forces from Saror Haven, although brave, were noticeably disorganised, allowing for Jorvickian and Mugen defenders to find holes in their line. However, forces from Smegsland, Amarillo and volunteer forces were much more organised and managed to hold up much longer.

Middle of the battle
The middle of the battle saw most of the fighting between the Coalition and Jorvick. Random bandits started to join the battle, causing the death toll to go up massively. Both Coalition forces and Jorvick troops started to suffer heavy casualties. It was at this point that the Saror Haven line began to falter, and with other Coalition forces being unable to patch their lines for them and bandits showing up in greater numbers, the Coalition's offensive capabilities had been compromised.

End of the battle
The end of the battle saw Coalition forces retreat from the city after a cease fire was called. Even then, the bandits were still fighting, causing more deaths. In the end, Jorvick troops managed to narrowly defend their city and win the battle; however, the bandits took a majority of their loot and a lot of damage was caused to the city itself.

Casualties
This battle had an uncountable amount of deaths. It is still unknown how many died in the 30 minute battle. This unknown figure has been attributed to the large influx of bandits who joined halfway through the battle.
