The Battle of the Citadel, also referred to as 'The Insurgency Final Battle', was a major event in Villainy and Virtue and the climax of the Insurgency story arc.

Following his rise to power and the gathering loyalty of many powerful allies, Relictus Libertas executed his plan to lead a coup d'etat against Heartania's appointed High Chancellor, Jonathan Kramer. Marching an army of insurgent citizens and gang members, Acchilleus met Kramer at the bridge to the Citadel, and a bloody conflict ensued.

## Major Events

### The First Wave

Following Acchilleus' declaration of all-out war on the Citadel, the Chancellor and police chief Monica Johnson established a series of defenses across the bridge leading in to the Citadel, as a line on which the battle could be fought. The first of these defenses was a police barricade commanded by Johnson herself, which received the brunt of the Viper army, thinning down the attackers with a combination of gunfire and tear gas.

The barricade eventually fell, causing Johnson to order a retreat from her division before engaging in combat with the Harvester. As the Vipers rushed over the first line of defense and onto the bridge, a bloodbath ensued.
