Commencing on the first of Falidar 2181 CC the Battle of the Drevo would go down as among the single most deadliest battles in Espan history, the allies freed up roughly 3 million men to amount the offensive, but the terrain was easily defendable and the attack only gained about 20 kilometers before being halted at immense cost of life, over 950,000 had died over the 9 months the offensive lasted, widely being branded as a grotesque military failure.
