Battle of Bileon

Battle of Bileon, fought in July 30th, was a decisive battle fought during the Hopfisch Rebellion. The Rebel forces under the command of Baron Bileon, Gotthard Lichtenawer, were utterly destroyed or captured by the Royal Army lead by their monarch, King Jiri. Almost all Silverion noble rebels, apart from Marquess Johan Zerier, were captured during the battle, effectively restoring loyalist control over the city of Silverion.
== Background ==
With the beginning of the Hopfisch Rebellion, King Jiri immediately called forth a campaign, deciding to consolidate his forces at Lohensloss from where he determined to advance further. At Lohensloss, Tyraness Hamina Beyard suggested the Royal Army to be divided and sent south in two forces. Jiri agreed with this and took the larger force under him to march to Silverion. 
During the march to Silverion, the small village of Cabrin was sacked and destroyed, this was done to increase the army food reserves. Later the atrocity was blamed on the rebels anyways, though most prior residents knew it was Hamina who destroyed the city and though the King ordered the atrocity he was never implicated to the crime.
When the Royal Army arrived at the outskirts of the city, the King was once more advised by Tyraness Hamina, who planned to raid many smaller fiefs outside Silverion with a small force, trying to bait the garrison of Silverion to attack her. And when they would, the King would bring the larger force to trap the garrison and destroy it. King Jiri approved the plan and the plot was set in motion.
== Battle ==
Hamina raided small fiefs for a day until Baron Bileon, Gotthard Lichtenawer who was in charge in Silverion received news of the raids. Gotthard speculated the chance of the Royal Army being near and thought there was no way that the King would already be here, as it had rained few days prior. Thus Gotthard salied out and attacked Hamina's force taking the bait.
Twenty minutes later, the Royal Army began to march after them to trap their force. The battle began in 30th July 16:31 with the charge of the Augustus Guard into the rebel ranks. Meanwhile Generals Hamina, Lothbrok Voorst and Leon Speer began to surround Gotthard's force. This enclosure succeeded perfectly, and Gotthard lost any direction from which to retreat. After the encirclement was closed, it was only a matter of time until Gotthard's men succumbed to the Royal Army.
== Aftermath ==
The Silverion garrison and many nobles of Silverion marquessate were now captives of the loyalists. They marched to Silverion where they took control of the city. King Jiri and Lord Lexitor Lothbrok began to bring judgement upon the rebels and decided to arrest them for the time, leaving Silverion to the hands of the governor and their army for the duration of their stay.
