Battle of Kibris

Background and Build-up
The squatter settlement of Kibris was built on the seas right outside the lands of Puerto Amarillo, the capital of the Republic of Amarillo. The mayor of Puerto Amarillo, Greensince, was not aware of the settlement for a few weeks, until maritime patrols were able to locate it. When they arrived at the settlement, they demanded that it was dismantled, or that the squatter himself, Mr. Ananas, joined them. Mr Ananas refused, claiming the island as his. Insulted, the patrol returned home, and started gathering troops for an excursion into the squatter settlement.

Believing it to be an easy target, they only brought the Amarillo army, and allied troops from the league of Vircon, most notably Nujh. The combined strength of the Vircon armies was estimated to be around 20-25 soldiers.

On the side of Mr. Ananas, whos IGN is 222n00b222, he only had 2-3 soldiers he could field. Therefore, he decided to hire Eldham's most elite mercs, with the mercs in question being the Goblin Mercenary Guild, or GMG, who were renowned for winning every war they fought in, and GamingDerp, who was a skilled fighter. GMG were able to bring 4 mercenaries, as the time zones were not good for them. These were GreenskinGouger, Emmerman14, DrStudi, and Arcticfoxx. While outnumbered 25-7, the squatters still had a good chance, as the quality of their troops was much higher.

Scouting parties and first skirmish
Amarillo, having experienced naval commanders at their service, sent several scouts ahead to see the number of troops that Mr Ananas had. Once in range, they were immediatly shot at by the troops inside, giving away the element of surprise the mercenaries might have had. Hearing this, Lhytt04 tried to gather more allied troops, but very little time remained for this to occur. They managed to scrap together a few more troops, and with that, they sailed off to Kibris.

Upon arrival, the forces of Amarillo started circling the fortress, shooting at it with bows, to little effect. The defenders tried to return fire, but they also faced issues here. They had a lot of trouble hitting the fast-moving Amarillian troops, and therefore had very little effect. On the flip side, the coalition forces had no way of reaching the fort.

The skirmish continued for a bit, until some of the coalition forces moved towards a breach in the wall that was spotted by Lhytt04.

Main engagement, and first battle
The main army of the coalition moved into the breach, while most mercenaries from Kibris side started engaging forces scaling the walls of the fort. The battle seemed indesicive at first, but after several swift kills from GamingDerp and GreenskinGouger, the coalition seemed to be on the backfoot. However, in the distance, more troops kept arriving, most notably those led by Viixy, the king of Nujh. His forces were elite, some of which could even win against the mercs if they had backup. With the arrival, the battle took yet another turn, swinging in favor of the coalition. Soon thereafter, the fort was captured by coalition forces, but their position eithin the fort was eventually challenged by ther mercs. From here, the coalition split up, and GreenskinGouger recorded her tenth kill. Slowly, one after one, the coalition forces fell apart, and both sides claimed victory.

Aftermath of the first battle
Kibris claimed victory, but the President of Amarillo, Lhytt04, disputed this. Neither side were fully able to claim victory, and the outcome still remains somewhat disputed. At first, Mr Ananas made a show of giving up the settlement, as The Republic of Amarillo showed it was able to continue war indefinitely until they won, and they also recieved greater support from Vircon as well as Uraka. Ananas, however, quickly returned to the fort after being booted out of his town of Iron in Catania, being persistent as ever. More and more nations came to denounce him, but he stayed firm.

Second battle of Kibris
The second battle was much more small and contained. A small detachment of ten coalition troops, who had not been sent by either Amarillo, Vircon or Uraka, came to Kibris around a week later, seeking to dislodge the squatters before the war even began. Quickly though, backup was called in, and the mercenary GreenskinGouger, and one of her friends, BeekayGod, arrived at Kibris, and killed the entire army. Due to marriage ties between the commander of the coalition forces, Viixy, and GreenskinGouger, the leader of the mercenaries, the gear taken from Viixy was returned in secret to him.
