The Cobra War

The cobra war was a war fought on December 4th, 2021. The war saw Abstrakt as the invasor of Azcurian land which was defended by the Azcurian coalition. After a single battle, Azcuria declared defeat and the war was won by Abstrakt.

## The road to war

The island had been conflicted territory for a while during the reign of Miklagard and Azcuria until the two countries had reached a deal to divide the land between the two countries — Miklagard would own it for one month and Azcuria would own it for another, and so on.

Unfortunately, not much after the deal was made, migrants from the east started a civil war. After the miklagard government ran, the old Miklagard lands became part of the new nation of Abstrakt. Yet when they first came into power, they did not claim the island shared between Azcuria and Miklagard which meant the island remained part of Azcuria until Abstrakt decided to claim the island as rightfully theirs.

### Demands and Declaration

Very quickly after coming into power, Kagami, the new leader of Abstrakt would give of a set of demands. These demands were given to Azcuria and started a large justification for war. Many nations worldwide already denounced the nation of Abstrakt and thus many started to side with Azcuria on the conflict.

The demands stated that Azcuria unclaim their holy land and let Abstrakt take control of the only town on the island, Hegolyo. Hegolyo wasn't happy being under Azcuria rule and they preffered to be under those who had destroyed his nation and forced many from it to flee. Thus Hegolyo swore loyalty to Abstrakt and sided with them in the war.

Azcuria ignored the demands from Abstrakt, hoping they wouldn't declare war for land that was rightfully theirs, yet on November 30th, Abstrakt declared war and occupied the coastal area of Hegolyo.

The war was set to start in 4 days, and while Azcuria prepared, many nations came to aid Azcuria, including, but not limited to, Altyragnum, Saria, Aldoria, the Crimson Church, Aeodis-Antes, and Isrá. No nation allied with Abstrakt, yet two declared themselves neutral, first Elaria and then Vespar, who had declared war at first but decided against it in a later moment, revoking the declaration of war.

## The conflict

### Preperations

The war would start at 9:00 Am EST. Around three hours before so the small, yet trained and equipped army of six, fighting for Abstrakt would show up at the capital of Abstrakt. These men would train and finish up making the final sets of armor and tools needed for the war. The war was expected to last long with large battles and slow advances into enemy land.

Meanwhile on the Azcurian there forces ended up becoming less than expected. Only around half the fighters said to fight showed up and most weren't equiped to fight well. Most had basic diamond armor and tools. Yet what made the force so promising wasn't the equipment or the unorganization within the army. It was the numbers that could swarm and kill the small forces of Abstrakt.

At around 6:30 EST the armies of both sides started to make there way to the battle site, the small town of Hegolyo.

### The war

The war lasted from 9:00 Am EST to around 10:30 EST with the battle of Hegolyo lasting for about fourty five minutes.

The small fortress of Hegolyo was seen as a staging ground for the army of Abstrakt. This is where the battle plans got seen in person with an enemy force building up a fort ontop of a hill. This hill was the "birthplace of Miklagard' as it was the origional house of the old leader, Jordy. They used the houses and any materials they could find to build a wall around the mountain peak.

The mountain was very tall and was hard to climb. The only easy area to climb was on the right side of the mountain and even then it was still hard to get up. This mountain was seen as the best option to build a fort and was a good place for one.

### Surrender

After having lost all of their forces, Azcuria was forced to surrender, which would cause Abstrakt to decide the surrendering terms which were considered by everyone outside of Abstrakt to be absurd and definitely economy crippling for a nation as big as Azcuria, thus, everyone thought Lys had gone mad, until soon enough she sold almost all Azcurian land in Nullos and fled, refusing to pay a single cent to Abstrakt.
