Reconquest of the Far Plains

### Result

Ariden-Villager Kingdom victory, Far Plains reclaimed, remaining Nether troops killed, Ancient Portal deactivated

The **Reconquest of the Far Plains** is a major conflict following the Battle of the Far Plains, conducted by the Ariden and the Villager Kingdom to reclaim the Far Plains from the Nether Horde after the Frostbourne's failed defense, in attempt to prevent the Nether's conquest of the Overworld. The battle is led by the Ariden Grandmaster Ser Grave, his right-hand man Gerald, the Ariden Scholar Chris, and the Villager Commander Alexander on the conquering side, and the defenders Hogsworth and Kralos. The Villager King Meraldius indirectly participates in battle by teleporting the armies closer to the battlefield, while the Nether King Naeus is still healing from his wounds and therefore isn't participating in the war.

## The Preparations

### Frostbourne's Side

Within the walled settlement of Dreadfort, inside of what appears to be a medical room, Azura, who is lying unconscious on a bed, slowly wakes up with slight grunts of pain. She sits up and turned nearby to see the Grandmaster Patrick is talking to some sort of machine of her inventions. He soon turned back to see her sitting on the bed.

* Patrick: Azura! You're awake!

He approaches her in relief.

* Azura: \*low grunt\* Pat? Where are we? What just happened?
* Patrick: We are in Dreadfort now. You were electrocuted and passed out, but fortunately, it's not severe.
* Azura: What about the armies?
* Patrick: \*sigh\* Our armies have weakened significantly. Numerous soldiers have died on their valiant fights, including the bandit Daryll and your comrade, Dexter. And there's yet any news about Rain and Stella.

Azura looked down, somewhat saddened.

* Azura: That's not good to hear...
* Patrick: Rest easy, Azura. I've sent a message to our acquaintances, the Ariden and Villager Kingdom. They will continue our struggle against the Nether. For now, we can rest, and heal the damaged wounds within our military.

Unbeknownst to them, Hilda, with eerie glowing white eyes and creepy smirk on her face, is eavesdropping their conversation from outside the room. Shortly after, her eyes return to normal as she walks off.

### Ariden-Villager Kingdom's Side

Meanwhile, inside of a small, sandstone meeting room, the Ariden Scholar Chris, the grandmaster Grave, and the Villager King Meraldius listen to the message sent by Patrick through a some sort of a telegraph.

* Patrick (through the telegraph): The Far Plains, the central overworld region, has been taken over by the Nether. We have tried all of our might, but the Nether is proven too much for us. Please. We beg your assistance, else the Nether will be unstoppable. Patrick, Grandmaster of the Frostbourne.
* Grave: The Nether truly has become dangerous. Now they wish to take over this realm... We must take action.
* Meraldius: I concur. We shall send out the strongest of our armies to reclaim it and prevent the Nether conquest further.
* Chris: But the reinforcements will need a long time to arrive. According to my calculations, roughly a week of time is needed so our reinforcements to arrive there, my King.
* Meraldius: We can use my transportation powers to cut the time down.
* Grave: The King's right. The nearest of our outpost to the Far Plains is located only 3 km away from there. Thus we can shorten the time down and begin the assault before it's too late.
* Chris: That is good to hear, sir. I'll use the purple beacons to deactivate the portals and prevent the nether reinforcements from further arriving.
* Grave: Good. The Ariden and the Villager Kingdom, together, will show them, the savage horde...
* Meraldius: ...the terrifying might of the Overworld!

After the small discussion, they agree to send out the Ariden-Villager Kingdom army to reclaim the Far Plains in the next day.
