Siege of Armug Massacre

Siege of Armug Massacre was the beginning of the Second Great War and the prologue of Grisweld Mittelhoss' rebellion against the Kingdom of Workhold. Tyran Grisweld Mittelhoss led the Royal Army forces against the revolting city of Armug, but Grisweld conspired to kill all of the unloyal troops inside the city, which nearly succeeded. This event became notorious for many, even some who were loyal to Mittelhoss, but the Silver Mutineers thought it was a necessary evil.

The battle began when Grisweld commanded the Legions to begin assaulting the breaches in the city walls. The assault, spearheaded by Ultor Magon, was successful and the defences of Armug were almost instantly cut down. It was around this time that the Glory Fleet, under the control of Revoiles Mittelhoss who had killed Fleet Admiral Lopelius Schweppenburg, began bombarding Armug, killing many Legionaries and disloyal Royal Army soldiers inside the city. Many of the Legionaries sought cover from the buildings in the city but in vain. Crispian Will however, one of the primary commanders of the assault, didn't know a betrayal was at hand and recontinued the assault against the Armug rebels, only to find them all dead inside the Armug citadel.
Admiral Mirko Schmierke noticed that Lopelius was either being controlled or that Lopelius was dead and sent his mate Pilos to capture Lopelius' ship, Bismarck. The attack on Bismarck went horribly, as Revoiles managed to convince Bismarck's crew to join him in the rebellion and they deflected Mirko's attempt at taking the Bismarck. Mirko however assumed control of the Glory Fleet and seized the bombardment and began to encircle the Bismarck. Revoiles set the Bismarck to explode and abandoned ship with his now loyal crew.
As the shelling ended, the Legionaries began to reorganize. Meanwhile Grisweld had sent the KOMS knights to kill Constantine Sokoll and Sokoll's company that was encamped in the middle of Grisweld's loyal troops. Heinrich's assault worked splendidly and Constantine was slain. Finlexas noticed something was off and sent a loyal Ardian to go and inform Hamina Beyard and Mennos Enkell of this ongoing mutiny.
Grisweld, after dealing with Constantine, ordered his loyal troops to go in and kill the Royalist forces inside Armug. These men were led by Odrin Silven, one of Grisweld's best commanders. The second assault was not as successful, as the Legionaries halted Grisweld's men in the breach. It took ten minutes, until Odrin and Fliora von Alzenau cracked the breach by killing Jiri Riktor the commanding officer in the breach. With this, Grisweld's men assaulted the city and heavy fighting took place. It looked as if the Legionaries would have managed to hold Grisweld's men back, but the arrival of KOMS under the leadership of Reizenstein and Hans Armitage broke the Legionaries and Tiroan Sivis was killed and Crispian Will was maimed.
Eventually, the Legionaries were rescued by Hamina, as Grisweld received news of Hamina arriving to Armug with an army. Grisweld began to withdraw his army and did so effectively. As soon as they came they left and there were little trace of Grisweld's army. Revoiles was left behind and he began to wander aroung Edelmaa fighting a small guerilla war against the Royalists. Grisweld withdrew north to meet up with Henrivier Nizenkampf.
