Siege of Viodoxa City

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

The battle was one of the largest battles in the history of Viodoxa, fighting in the center of Viodoxa City itself, with roughly 170 participants 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 was a result of the (currently) ongoing 2nd Purple Insurrection between the Archonal Union and the Archonate of Viodoxa. The Siege of Viodoxa City had been in planning for several weeks prior to the Christmas truce, with both Archonal Union and Viodoxan forces preparing heavily for the battle.

Preparation
Equipment and Supplies have started being made long before any plans of a attack were made, as the Archonial Unions allies boasted some of the best fighting groups and along with them some of the best strategists,logistics experts,blacksmiths,armorers and brewers from both worlds.The Archonial Union and its allies had many people that were both familliar with the city itself and the inner workings of the opposing army and its leadership so devising a plan and calculating the amount of manpower,equipment and resources needed to attack Viodoxa city did not pose a issue to the Archonial Union Alliance, all that was left was to craft a attack plan and try to have a contingency for every possible bad turnout of events.

The Attack plan
The Attack was the be quick and deadly, break through the southern walls and invade northwards meanwhile Ulfaeng will be going through a tunnel coming out of the Hexeturnal to cause chaos among the defenders

Defenses
The Viodoxan Archonate had focused its forces on defending against an attack from the south, the oldest part of the city and the least defended. The Northern City had been walled in with a large wall made of obsidian and stone bricks, as well as magma being placed under the water to prevent a sea-bound infiltration of the city. Large amounts of sweet berries were placed throughout the city, which was already incredibly confusing and difficult to navigate unless one was already familiar with it, something that would be a contributing factor to the chaos of the battle soon to come.

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, though many members (reportedly 1/3 to 1/2 of each side), were allegedly unable to enter the server, reducing the magnitude of the battle severely.

Pre-Battle
Before the battle began the Archonal Union forces rallied at a crumbling pirate ship which somehow managed to get afloat near the city, soldiers was briefed of the battle plans, to invade through the south and move northwards whilst Ulfaeng would cause chaos among them. Unknown by the Archonal Union, a spy sent by the Imperial Archonate relayed this information to the Viodoxan forces. But the Archonal Union got wind of the leak forcing them to re-draw the battle plan. To invade north where their defenses will be weak as they move their forces southwards.

At this time, Viodoxans were finalising their defenses.

Battle Start
God-Emperor Choochie of the Kartek Empire tridented past their defenses to kill RenaPlays, marking the first death of the war, and an omen for the battle to come.

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.
