Rodenius War

### Outcome

The **Rodenius War** was a small, five-month war instigated by the Louria Kingdom, whose ultimate goal was to conquer the entire Rodenius Continent and exterminate its non-human population, thus coming into conflict with the Qua-Toyne Principality and to a lesser extent with the Quila Kingdom. Japan also joined the war after Qua-Toyne requested them for military assistance against Louria's conquest.

## First Contact

***For more details, see First Contact***

Shortly after the first contacts, Japan learned about the strained relationship between Qua-Toyne and Louria. However, this threat will not threaten Japan itself, until Louria decides to launch its genocidal campaign on the Rodenius Continent.

## Decision to go to War

When Louria attacked and occupied the border town of Gim, Qua-Toyne was put in a war situation. The urgency of mobilizing resources for the battlefield meant that all external trade will also be disrupted, including with Japan. This is bad news for Japan, which desperately needs food from Qua-Toyne to prevent a famine that could break out in the country.

That threat led Japan to decide to send military relief forces to Qua-Toyne, a violation of Article 9 of the Constitution needed to prevent a humanitarian disaster from occurring.

## Japan's Participation

Louria's military advantage was quickly crushed by Japan in the naval battle that went into Rodenius history afterward. The Louria Navy is expecting Qua-Toyne's Principality warship can't withstand Louria Navy's attack. However, they do not expect Japan's participation and utterly crushed over a quarter of their Naval Fleet strength along with the capture of Vice-Admiral Sharkun, the Commanding Officer of the Louria Navy in the hands of Japan. ***For more details, see Great Naval Battle of Rodenius***

Their momentum at sea was stalled, and Louria would turn their attention to the land front. However, another military disaster struck Louria at Ejey. ***For more details, see Battle of Ejey***

## Liberation of Gim

Relatively concurrent to this operation, Japanese aircraft conducted an airstrike to destroy the ships that had retreated from the naval battle days previous, further reducing the Lourian military strength by thousands. ***For more details, see Liberation of Gim***

## Louria Kingdom Emergency Council

News of the defeat of the Louria Kingdom's Eastern Subjugation Army at the Battle of Ejey and recaptured the border city of Gim, at Hark Castle in the royal capital Jin-Hark, the emergency meeting was held to discuss the kingdom’s crisis and strategic defense, and determine countermeasures against the Qua-Toyne Principality and Japan. Louria Kingdom's military strategy with the planning, which the war council believed the Japanese Force’s ground offensive had a weak. ***For more details, see Louria Kingdom Emergency Council***

## Pacification of Louria Capital

After the Liberation of Gim, Lt. General Ouchida Kazuki proposed Prime Minister Kanata, intending to pacify the Lourian Kingdom by capturing Hark Louria XXXIV. This plan alone will be able to bring the end of the war between the Qua-Toyne-Japan Coalition and the Lourian Kingdom. After the proposal was approved, Japan prepared to march from Gim with its destination to the Louria capital of Jin-Hark. The JGSDF 7th Division with the Armored Combat Regiment easily destroyed the large numbers of the knight infantry, cavalries, and heavy infantry at the Battle of Jin-Hark.

After the castle gate was destroyed by a Type 90 battle tank, General Patagene and Chief Mage Yamirei gathered the remaining troops at the castle gate while JGSDF sent the 1st Airborne Brigade by helicopter over the Hark Castle and captured King Hark Louria XXXIV of the Louria Kingdom. ***For more details, see Pacification of Jin-Hark***

## Aftermath

### Japan

Japan's overwhelming victory in the war saved Qua-Toyne and Quila from a catastrophic genocide, and Louria's wild ambition was suppressed once and for all. The Louria Kingdom itself has been separated into 4 independent states after a brief civil war and are now recovering by embracing Japanese imports and businesses. Both Qua-Toyne and Quila will also benefit from investment and technology transfer activities from Japan, to the point where they will be considered as Quasi-Powers.

After the war, the Rodenius Continent played a strategic role in Japan as a source of food and natural resources (from Qua-Toyne and Quila) to feed its population and economy. In addition, when Japan was involved in later wars, Rodenius also served as a military outpost for Japanese campaigns.

### Parpaldia Empire

The defeat of the Louria Kingdom enrages Emperor Ludius upon receiving a report that all of their investments to help the Louria Kingdom conquer Rodenius Continent come into a complete halt due to Japan's interference. Additionally, unaware of Japan's true strength and their pride as one of the Superpowers, this ultimately led into Japan-Parpaldia War after the Imperial Army invasion force were completely destroyed by Japan during the Battle of Fenn Kingdom.
