Battle of Borelia

The Battle of Borelia marked the turning-point of The Great War.
After Strife's unexpected stalemate at the Battle of Lochinver, Winnish forces begun pushing through into mainland Agartha. Borelia was a city near the WCR-Agartha border, so retaking the city was Chase Smith's first objective in order to push Strife forces back. Chase Smith knew that the battle would not be easy, as all of WCR's sea borders were blockaded from a massive Strifian navy, complicating war efforts and blocking reinforcements from Adagnitio. Chase knew that for the next few weeks, WCR would have to make effort with what little it had left. After rallying every reserve available, Chase made a decisive push towards the Agarthian ranges, away from the Grand District. The battle was known to be so catastrophic in scale, that artillery and explosions made up for two-thirds of the casualties, also resulting in massive landscape and ecosystem changes in the major area. The battle was also so devastating, that only a few highly damaged recordings and photos remained during the conflict.
=== War Story (Operation: Reconquista) ===
Here we are. We sods of the earth. All of our access to oceans are blocked, our food short, and Lochinver under siege. This is the last of what we can scrape from the clutches of our withering hands, I could see it in all of us, even through the mask of the Agarthians. They had lost nearly everything, such as we have. Every man for himself in this plane knows of it. We have nothing left to lose.
The battle was bloody. Many of those whom I had known for years in combat was either filled with bullets or blown into bits and pieces, covering each and every one of us surviving the blast. Red. Red was the primary color of this, and perhaps every battle of this war. By the time we had reached the capital of Borelia, I could barely see ten feet in front of me from the fog generated from the ashes of the once thriving city. Nearly half of us was missing a limb as we pushed on, some struggling to even lift their weapon to shoot their enemy. In the seemingly dragged out battle, we had emerged victorious. We had done the impossible.
As gunshots faded and explosions became more and more distant, we finally had begun settling into the city. Many of us fell asleep on concrete, others had begun cleaning up each corridor of corpses who were once our comrades. A car was coming. It held a high ranking officer and some soldiers. The car stopped in front of us, we looked to men coming out.
