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. Bandits did a lot of damage, however the city of Jorvick was able to kill more of the Coalition's troops with a 5-12 ratio, not including kills from Saror Haven's allys.

Start of the battle
The start of the battle had the army of the Coalition and some citizens from other nations such as Astapf rally at a battle camp. 2 minutes before the battle they charged in using 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, forces from Saror Haven were, although brave, 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 were just starting to flood in causing more chaos than before. The death toll started to massively go up. Both Coalition and Jorvick 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 with Bandits showing up in greater numbers, the Coalition's offensive capabilities had been comprimised.

End of the battle
The end of the battle saw Coalition forces retreat from the city after a cease fire was called. Even then bandits still were fighting causing more deaths. In the end the Jorvick won the battle, narrowly managing to defend the city, but the bandits took a majority of the loot and Jorvick saw the most damage to the city itself.

The bloodshed
This battle had an uncountable amount of deaths. It is still unknown how many died in the 30 minute battle. This shows the influence bandits have. If any lesson it is to be learned here, it is the danger that allowing bandits to involve themselves in wars can bring.
