Battle for the Bretherlands

The **Battle for the Bretherlands**, also known as the **Battle of Horse Island** was a major server battle between The People's Republic of Bogus and The Empire of Yulk, and their allies. It was an extremely decisive battle, shifting the power over Yulk and ending the Yulkan Wars.

The battle was declared upon by Flapjackpants of Bogus to be at August 10th 2023, 10:30 PM EST, however due to consistent delays regarding server downages, it was eventually declared for August 14th 2023, 10:30 PM EST. Klishka, LEC, and Banbonia were declared allies and co-fighters for Bogus. Lushile joined the war on Yulk's side.

## The Battle

*For the remainder of the article, unless noted otherwise, Bogus will refer to Bogus and its allies. Yulk will refer to Yulk and its allies.*

Bogus began with an attack force led by Klism, who adopted a strategy of assigning each of their enemies a "priority level". Those with lower priority levels were to be knocked away using artifacts, to isolate high priority targets. However, this quickly fell apart as the initial charge towards the Yulkan fortifications resulted in a flurry of arrows in response to the charge. This delayed any further advancements before segments of the fortifications were blown up and Yulkan fighters jumped down to engage in PvP with Bogus fighters.

The fight eventually devolved into several mini-fights, with Bogus taking advantage of their quantity and swarming specific targets. However, due to the amount of ill-equipped Bogus fighters, many casualties occurred with the Bogus armory being emptied before the battle even began, rendering their respawned soldiers useless. No Yulkan Fighter died with the except of TheFlaminGamer for the first half of the battle.

The tide of the battle began to shift towards Bogus's favor after Yulk began to be worn down. Yulk took major damage from DaPainguin and Enzo\_PFG being trapped in a cave, with both of them dying. acer\_zip also lost several pieces of armor due to durability damage. However, with most of Bogus's strongest fighters focusing on different players, no singular Yulkan fighter was defeated by being singled out during this period of the battle.

Jedu711, the emperor of Yulk and the core of the Yulkan side, was singled out by several Bogus fighters who began to chase him deep into the Northern Bretherlands, until he was pushed out into the ocean where he ultimately met his demise alone, with the other Yulkan fighters still on the island fighting off Bogus fighters.

\_cubic42 picked up and wore Jedu711's Yulkan Crown, immediately making him the Emperor of Yulk. Jedu711 also suffered a canon death. The first order of Klishkan-owned Yulk was "*Kill all Lushile members"*, which also led to Lushile surrendering the battle and retreating.

## Aftermath

Despite the Bogus victory, they suffered incredible losses of gear at the hands of Crows who were fighting for Yulk. The Bogus coalition consisted of 6 Klishkans, 3 Banbonians, 3 Bogovians, 3 citizens of LEC, and 2 members of the Eternal Circus. The Yulkan coalition consisted of 3 Yulkans and 7 Crows. Despite these numbers, Bogus lost:

* One maxed netherite armor set with mending
* Three maxed netherite sets
* One netherite chestplate and leggings
* *Dark King Groomer's Blade*
* *Beyond*
* *Crimson Scythe*
* *Boxing Gloves*
* Seven maxed diamond sets
* Numerous maxed tools
* Numerous amounts of combat utillity, such as Ender Pearls, Golden Apples, and Potions
* Over 15 sets of maxed weapons, including swords, axes, bows, and shields

Regardless of the losses, due to the Empire of Yulk now entering Klishkan governing, and the surrender of Lushile, peace terms began being negotiated upon by the sides. In the end, the peace agreement came out to be:

* All character artifacts owned by Lushile will be returned to their original owner
* In the case of Allan Pedagroe's artifacts, who is no longer present on the server, it would go to a new museum located in the Titanic Crater National Park dedicated to museums.
* All citadel artifacts would be placed and locked away from regular usage in the museum
* Klishka, Bogus, LEC, and Banbonia will return to peace with Lushile
