War of Lopadian Aggression

***Intro***

The War of Lopad Aggression, otherwise known as the Lopad Civil War was a small conflict that had two battles, one which was a draw, and another that ended up as a Noxitopian victory. The war would end when both parties signed a white peace, ending all hostilities.

**The Leadup To The War**

Prior to what would cause the war, there were no tensions between Luke and what would become Noxitopia. However, after Slack and Broba would joke about overthrowing Luke; Luke would make a kill on sight order on Slack, who was attacked by Kerbal. After this attack, Broba would join Slack. This would set up the chain of events that would lead to the Lopad Civil War.

**The Aglarian Skirmish**

Once Slack and Broba had heard that DropDeadFred was aiding Lopad, they immediately went to Aglaria to kill them and make sure Lopad couldn't get any resources off of Fred. So, they both headed to Aglaria and set up a small camp 50~ blocks from the Aglarian Arena. They cooked food, set spawn and constructed a nether portal; there was another nether portal outside the Aglarian Arena. They went into the nether, and out so that they would end up right outside of the Aglarian Arena. When they were outside, a creeper was there which they used to blow a hole into the arena. However, Luke was already positioned with a cannon he then shot at Slack and Broba, however no damage was taken. Instead Slack and Broba used flint and steel on the wood logs and burn them down to infiltrate the fort. From there, Slack and Fred would make contact and start fighting. Fred was eventually killed by Broba after he jumped into the fight and finished him off. Slack then chased after Luke; he attempted to kill Slack with a cannon but his cannon was destroyed by Slack's bow. From there Luke was killed.

**The First Battle**

The first battle of the War of Lopad Aggression was incredibly messy. The 20 minutes before the battle for Noxitopia (Glasopia at the time) were spent recruiting people from Charlesonia to participate in the battle against Lopad. After GravityMC and XportWolfie were recruited, Broba set up the cannon and Slack would distribute potions to the new mercenaries. Luke was asking for extra time to get members from Umayyad to help him; but both parties had agreed on a strict time so Slack ordered Broba to fire the cannon at the fort at the strict time they had agreed upon, Slack got on top of a lava cast and began firing wither shot at the fort. The wither shot barrage managed to kill a member of the Lopad forces, but no other members were affected. Luke and Kerbal began moving through a tunnel that they had dug that led to the Noxitopian fort, but they were intercepted before they could get to the fort. Broba quickly eliminated Kerbal, and Slack killed Luke. Both of them respawned at their fort, naked with no gear. Broba then removed the bed, and both of them were killed; being sent to spawn. After that, pretty much all of the Lopadian forced were eliminated, until the two Umayyad forces arrived. Once they arrived, they began attacking bystanders that were watching the battle. GravityMC, not knowing that they weren't combatants was attacked by one of these members. He was completely oblivious to the fact that they were combatants because they weren't wearing any uniform. He was then killed, and Slack came in to kill this user and return GravityMC his gear. However, even with Strength II and Speed II on, this combatant seemed to be taking no damage at all; this is because he was on an enchanted golden apple, and had just tanked all of the hits. Slack was then killed by this combatant. It later came out that these were enchanted golden apples given to him by Nitrur, who was a well known dark magic user on the server. After this complete mess of a battle, the battle was essentially over. Many allegations came out after this about dark magic use and such. The battle was later counted as a draw and the battle was rescheduled.

**The Second Aglarian Skirmish**

Once again finding out where Lopad was camped out (which was at the same place, Aglaria) Broba and Slack went over there. They told Luke and Kerbal over Discord that they were trying to negotiate peace to get them on the server so that they could kill them. Slack and Broba would have actually accepted a mutual peace, but the Lopadians demanded payment. Slack and Broba would not pay reparations considering what began the war, so once Luke and Kerbal got on the server later, maybe a couple hours after the discussion, they were attacked and killed. This turned into a final warning to Slack and Broba not to kill the Lopadians before the war.

**The Battlefield Skirmishes**

The battlefield skirmishes were a several of skirmishes that would occur at the location of the second battle. The first one would occur when Broba was building at the Noxitopian fort. He was shot at by Fred after being provoked by Kerbal; this resulted in a skirmish in which caused kerbal to die and Fred would back down. The second would be when Slack was shooting down Lopadian cannons, he would be shot at by Fred and later by cannonballs by both Fred and Kerbal. They would both be killed and have their items destroyed. Lastly, after finding out the TNT cannon was tampered with by the Lopadians, both Slack and Broba would attack and kill Luke and Fred. This would be the final skirmishes before the second battle.

**The Second Battle**

The second battle would begin with an additional 18 minutes being added to the battle start time. UgylyGamer, otherwise known as CirculatingBeef would arrive right on time, just as the battle began to the Noxitopian fort. The combatants on the Loapadian side would be iibok, DropDeadFred, Kerbal and LukeProd1861. The combatants on the Noxitopian side would be slackiscool2167, Thermal\_TMT, traktorit and UgylyGamer. It would be a fair 4v4 for the battle. Additional combatants were planned to be on the Lopadian side, but they would not be able to attend. When the battle began, TNT cannons on both sides would fire, making holes in both forts. After the brief artillery battle, a long bow fight would commence between both sides, however, Slack would sneak behind the fort into the Lopadian bunker housing their bed and break it, then set off TNT. However, the Lopadians would just reset their spawn, initially this was thought to be illegal, but Jace affirmed that it was not. Slack would return to the Noxitopian fort and the bow fight would ensue. After about 10 minutes, the Noxitopians, led by Slack and Broba would charge into the fort. Initially only Slack and Broba would breakthrough into the fort with tridents and engaged the Lopadians. A couple minutes later UgylyGamer and traktorit would also arrive. After a couple minutes the Lopadians would be picked off 1 by 1. Broba would kill iibok, Luke and Kerbal, and traktorit would kill Fred. After this, their bed was broken and they would all return to spawn. The Lopadians attempted a final hurrah, rushing towards the fort hoping to perhaps pick up some remaining armor off the ground, but they were intercepted and killed before they could reach the fort. After this, Luke would finally concede, and the battle was an official Noxitopian victory.

**The White Peace**

After the battle, Slack initially proposed a condition-less white peace to Luke, they would be given back the Lopadian lands, forts, and no war reparations would be asked for. Luke initially rejected this offer, but after further discussion a couple hours later, he would accept it. A white peace treaty would be signed at the fort in which the last battle partook. This would mark the end of the Lopad Civil War.
