The **Battle of Caroline** was a strategic advance by the Taiyang Dynasty and also known as the "Kickstarter of the Saint Imperiums". The Battle of Caroline would be a major battle during the Second Undead War.

The Battle began on August 27th, 2023, at 4:25 PM. Taiyang forces began invading on the shores, with heavy machine gun fire slowing the offensive attack. The battle would have Taiyang Forces push the Pyrorainian Forces back back to the capital, Caroline. The battle would last 2 hours, and would be compared as "**The Second Undead War's D-Day**", Or "**The Second Undead War's Gallipoli Campaign**".

## Background

### Construction of Ralph Reach.

In fear that the **Red Phoenix** was going to push an offensive of the southern beaches of **Pyro-Rania**, the Undead Confederacy had funded the Pyrorain Empire to construct multiple defenses along the beaches. This was a strong defense to protect **Castle Ostlich** and Caroline, the capital of Pyrorania. These structures featured multiple forts like:

* Pillboxes
* Artillery Bunkers
* Sentry Bunkers
* Wooden Palisades
* Sweet-Berry bushes

These defenses were cheap and featured several uses:

* Pillboxes for LHMGs

* Artillery Bunkers used for Anti-Material Rounds

* Sentry turrets for both LHMG and Anti-Material

* Wooden Palisades for light, rifle combat.

* Sweet-berry bushes as barbed wire to slow the invaders down.

Ralph's Reach would stretch across the beaches for around 2,000 blocks. It was also made sure that the defenses were distributed properly and evenly to even out any weak-spots that laid in the defense for any invader to push.

### **Preparations**

   The Preparation began once ships and flying machines were spotted hundreds of blocks away. Notified, Outrunsneeze began to call all forces from the nearby castle to began entrenching their location at Ralphs Reach.

# **Battle of Caroline**

Multiple soldiers would fight back using the Ralph Ridge's defense, however the Invading infantry of the Dynasty would push forward, destroying multiple bunkers along the way. The new rifle, the Arquebus (a Match-lock musket) would be used by the Undead Army, but the Taiyangs would develop their own weapon, the Dissonance Cannon, a powerful-portable railgun which pushed back the Undead Infantry back towards the castle.

   Multiple wooden palisades would keep most of the invaders occupied with barley any deaths occurring. The palisades however would eventually become useless after Taiyang infantry would slowly rise in numbers.

After 1 hour, HotCaprisun ordered a withdrawal back onto a nearby hill which had over looked the now invaded-forest; In which Caprisun would order multiple artillery attacks on enemy positions which would wipe out most of the Invaders crossing the palisades. People argue that the Failed defense by the Pyrorainian Force and the Undead army was by lack of Conviction among some senior commanders, like Crocodile.

12 minutes after the Withdrawal on the hill, Taiyang soldiers would enter the Caroline (capital of Pyrorainia) and would attempt to large an attack, but would be met with a flank led by Caprisun to take the charging infantry out.

In a short period, the infantry would eventually push into **Castle Ostlich**, in which hard attacks would be met with heavy bombardments and large groups charging into the walls. The walls would be broken into, in which the Castle interior would be badly damaged. The Soldiers morale would shift from a motivated army to a depressed, loss of hope military. At 6:43, the white flag would be risen to surrender the attack. The Taiyang dynasty would occupy the area while also keeping recourses and trade to themselves.

### **Battle of the 15 Nights**

   The **Battle of the 15 Nights** happened three days after the Taiyang Dynasty invaded Pyrorania. Outrunsneeze surrendered when the Taiyang Dynasty attacked Pyrorania, but the Pyrorain Soldiers didn't give up. They kept fighting against the invading Taiyang Troops, and there were many bad war-crimes as a result.

    This fight took place in the **Kanyegrad** Forest, which is in the southern part of Pyrorainia. The Pyrorain Dragoons set up surprise attacks on the Taiyang Soldiers multiple times in the forest. Many Taiyang Soldiers got hurt or killed in these attacks and would suffer high casualties. The forest was thick with tall spruce trees, making it a good place to set up traps.

The Taiyang Dynasty won and took over the whole country of Pyro-Rania. The battle lasted 15 days, with most of the attacks (Ambushes from the Pyrorainians) happening towards midnight, due to the darkness of the spruces heavy shade, dim colors, and thick vegetation.
