Battle of Eraqat

== Leading up to the battle ==
The battle of Eraqat on 4/7/21 was the result of an election for the prime minister of Alokhrad, as Al-Surii (Gamerblox2077) had stepped down shortly before. There were 3 candidates: ZTempestX,Girthychocolate, running as a single team, Reeeee1245, and Beelzebub. The election would last 3 days, and the first day consisted of the 3 candidates creating election content. The discussions got very heated and both members were muted. However, Girthychocolate was worried that Ree would attempt a coup, so he secretly contacted the Uldarash army and informed gamerblox. The second day, the election results were polled, and ZTempestX and Girthychocolate won. But, ree, who thought he won, attempted a coup and seized control of Eraqat, the capital, of Alokhrad, plunging the state into war.
== The battle of Eraqat (also known as the July 4th Coup) ==
Ree's first move was to go to Astrova and kill ZTempestX once and then mortally wounding him a second time. The army was alerted, and soon over 20 soldiers were mustered, and Ree retreated to Eraqat and fortified the stronghold, which included untrusting everyone in the claim except himself and his minion, lord chirp. However, he made a fatal flaw, and forgot to untrust the user MysticMajesty, Who later died in the battle after building a staircase over the wall into Eraqat. Ree and Lord chirp were quickly overwhelmed, and Ree was killed and then fled. He then transferred the control of Eraqat to Aetamos, who later became the prime minister of Alokhrad.
== The aftermath ==
After the battle ended, Alokhrad had to rebuild. They had to revise laws, build walls, and make their nation better. Aetamos was installed as the prime minister, and Ree and Lord Chirp were permanently exiled. However, the battle had lasting repercussions, since there were Chevkri soldiers at the battle. Ursus Apexry, the former leader of the CR, did not authorize the deployment of those troops, however, they came on their own accord, feeling what they were doing was the right thing. There were also troops from the now dissolved Kingdom of Falnir, before it was part of Uldarash. Although the Battle was won, Alokhrad was shaken, and was further shaken later by the PRF, a communist terrorist group, who attacked Astrova and converted half of the alokhradi population. This was another serious blow, but Alokhrad brushed off the dust, licked it's wounds, and lived to see another day.
