Second battle of Kibris

" Ananas fucking left"-Defenders of Kibris

Build up
Kibris and The Republic of Amarillo had been at de-facto war for several weeks now. With the first major battle of Kibris ending in a stalemate, and the smaller skirmish ending in a small victory for Kibris, it seemed that the squatters were on a path to a miraculous victory against the established league of Vircon, which was being spearheaded by The Republic of Amarillo. But while victory on the battlefield had thus far been a stalemate, the diplomatic game had gone in the League's favour. Kibris had attempted to reach out to other nations for aid, but none even considered the option, with the notable exception of Skjoldrbrodir, who eventually declined the offer. At the same time, the League of Vircon secured the aid of all of its members, with the addition of Uraka; a major player both regionally and globally. At the time however, Uraka was being weakened by its split from Errine, and the brewing of the so-called "brothers war", a war between Uraka and Barbossa that never actually broke out. Kibris then turned to the force that had given them so much strength during its former battles; Mercenaries. In particular, the GMG, or Goblin Mercenary Guild, had secured the fate of Kibris in both battles, saving them in the first Kibris battle, and then winning the Kibris skirmish on their own. While Uraka and the league both tried to hire GMG, they already had been payed by Kibris, and therefore would stand by them in the war.

First contact
Contact was made around an hour before the battle commenced, with scouts from Amarillo arriving outside of Kibris, and setting up smaller barricades on a nearby island. At the same time, Kibris was making attempts to negotiate, but all of these were declined by the league, who saw him as a criminal.

With the battle approaching, 222n00b222, also known as Mr Ananas, the leader of Kibris, took to the walls of his fort and yelled down at the Amarillians; I want peace, I have tried to achieve it; but all you want is war and death!

Lhytt Poliorcetes, President of Amarillo, responded with the following; You are a criminal and a traitor! We are past the point of negotiation! Now, only one option remains. There will be no terms! There will be no surrender!

With those words, the battle commenced

The final battle of Kibris
The battle began with a prolonged ranged battle, with arrows raining from the barricades of the joint force of the league of Vircon and Uraka, who will henceforth be known as the coalition. Very few casualties came from the first ranged battle, as it was easy to hide behind barricades. However, what did happen, was that a few Coalition troops got their orders mixed up, and launched a small attack on the back of the fort. Within seconds, they had been killed and looted by two of the Goblin Mercenaries, Zeno Maestro and Greenskin. These marked the first casualties of the war. Due to them not actually being in the Puerto Amarillo claim, these kills had no value to the course of battle. Slowly but surely, small groups from the coalition probed the defences of the defenders, but were ultimately unable to cause damage. After a good 15 minutes had passed, the Coalition finally assaulted the keep, led by Vix Aulian and Lhytt Poliorcetes, who were bravely charging from the front. The battle quickly devolved into a swirling melee on the walls, with not side having a clear advantage. The unfilled moat under the walls quickly became a death trap for the attackers, who, once falling into the trench, were killed by the rampaging GMG mercenaries. At this time, Greenskin recorded her third kill, and was running out of potions. With the most elite of the defenders having depleted their strength on the first attack, the full force of the coalition was able to engage the squatters, turning the waters round Kibris red. They were outnumbered 3 to 1, and the forces of Amarillo had better gear on average. Soon, GreenskinGouger was chased from the site of battle by DestXM, being outmatched and poorly equipt. In the middle of the battle, Mr Ananas abandoned his allies in Kibris, and fled. Greenskin, after regrouping with ZenoHUN, decided to make a counter-assault on Amarillo, with the intention of causing a distraction which would allow Kibris to regroup. This had limited success, with them being unable to cause a lot of damage due to Puerto Amarillo's "Home Guard" staying behind. At the same time, however, they had to fight civilians, which were able to alert the soldiers fighting at Kibris of the danger. However, displaying great tactial genius, Lhytt Poliorcetes ordered his troops to stay at Kibris, and allow Puerto Amarillo's Home Guard to do it's job. The reason for this was his ability to spot that this was a ruse that was aimed at trying to dislodge attackers from Kibris itself. And with the GMG forces mostly gone, with only 1034ms being left as a mercenary in Kibris, the fort was overrun. Spawnkilling commenced, with LoggyLag being killed over and over again to gain Amarillo more kills. Zeno and Greenskin would return back to their home with gear, returning later to try and retake the fort. This had limited success, with them being able to kill up to 5 defenders in total, but being driven back each time due to being outnumbered severely. After one hour had passed, the result was clear; the Coalition had won the battle.

Aftermath
The victory was undisputed. After the battle, Lhytt Poliorcetes made almost immidiate demands for the total destruction of Kibris. Having no grounds to negotiate, Kibris agreed to all Amarillian demands. Mr Ananas, having lost the respect of many around him who helped Kibris, was no where to be found. He would go down in history as a coward to most people. Just 3 days later, Kibris was totally destroyed, with Soronaca Trechechi overseeing the operation. This was known as the "Glassing of Kibris," and thus concluded the Kibris Crisis.
