Don-Drakslavian War

The Don-Drakslavian war was a short but bloody conflict that was fought by The Don Immortalis against Drakslavia in the region of European Russia. The conflict would be something of a quagmire as both nations after about a month and a half of fighting would in the end gain nothing of value and were both left with their wounds to heal.

### Background

Drakslavia has heard of the presence of a mysterious nation to their far west that was rumoured to be filled with undead creatures and enslaved humans alike ruled by some telepathic being, many shrugged off these rumours as they came from trade caravans and scavengers from the european Russia wasteland. But when a relatively small landing was performed near Karelia they discovered that these rumours were worse than what they imagined.

### Initial conflict

The Don had heard of a far western land of stingies and decided that expansion in their general direction was worthwhile, so as his undead armies marched they came across the Drakslavian Landing near the long abandoned city of Arkhangelsk, realising that this was the enemy they were marching for the Don ordered an attack on the force. This battle was a close call as the unending amounts of zombies forced the Drakslavian troops back and they found their dragons to be ineffective as the enemy troops wore fireproof armour and had had fireproof vehicles, luckily for Drakslavia though a ditch last stand prevented complete annihilation of the landing force, shortly after this Cain Yahoodee ordered his main armies to advance west to meet this new foe.

### The Two Armies Meet

After a week since hostilities had begun the main Drakslavian armies met the Immortalis main armies, from this the next few weeks was non-stop constant warfare as the great numbers of Immortalis zombies and humans attacked the un-nerved troops and dragons with massive tidal waves of zombies crashed upon the hastily set up defences that the drakslavians created. The Drakslavian landing near Arkhangelsk was evacuated by the navy and they unleashed multiple barrages upon the advancing forces of the immortalis, though it barely put a dent in the overall forces the Don possessed. Though the drakslavians were able to win a couple of victories (to the Dons great dismay) they had to keep falling back due to the overwhelming numbers the Immortalis could throw at them.

### On the Homefront

The home front in Drakslavia was a interesting thing as initially there was discontent on the idea of conscription, with protests occurring in some cities against it, due to this the government had to think of a way to encourage enlistment, by that end they decided to promise increased army wages and made hero’s of those in the frontlines, which boosted morale and enlistment numbers. The Don has decided to embark on a campaign of bombing across the Urals and into the Drakslavian heartland, to this end the dragons on drakslavia embarked to shoot down these bombing raids, whilst they were able to shoot some down others managed to get through and inflict damage upon the industrial centres. During this time the NMZ officially froze the assets of both the Don Immortalis and Drakslavia, this left both with a limited supply of Ashtronium which made them determined to end the war swiftly. To counter the Immortalis Cain Yahoodee sent out aerial scouting missions to the Immortalis capital, there they found many potential targets for bombing such as industrial complexes, research facilities, and zombie storage areas, though no bombing attempts were performed during the war.

### Diplomacy

In a bid to try to secure possible allies Drakslavia attempted to persuade two different nations into joining the war against the Don Immortalis. They first attempted to convince the United People Of Ukraine to join the war, citing that they could take back their rightful land and stop sending stuff to their neighbour up north, the ukrainians flat out refused because if they lost they would lose everything they had worked so hard to make. Their next attempt was with The Republic Of Kekistan, they still weren’t on great terms with the Kek government since the Aral Incident but they were willing to listen to what they had to say, after the diplomats talked about how the Immortalis was a grave threat to regional security the Kek diplomats said they would consider the offer but ultimately decided not to get involved.

### The Border Incidents

The Don in all of his genius came up with a plan to destroy Drakslavia from an unexpected source, he had possessed the bodies of several fallen drakslavian soldiers revived and controlled directly from himself, from there he made them march up to the border kekistan shared with Drakslavia and had the soldiers attack a couple of checkpoints, this infuriated the Kekistanis who sent an ulimatum to Drakslavia, these terms were harsh and the Drakslavians tried to convince the Keks it wasn’t them, but due to the war they couldn’t fight both Kekistan and the immortalis, so they gave in and ceded the southern part of their country to kekistan. The Don was very pleased with what had happened and so he decided to do it again, but when he did stage another border incident the keks were suspicious about it, they decided to investigate and found out that the Don had staged the attack, they sent an ultimatum to him and realising that Kekistan didn’t fuck about he agreed to cede some of his southern land to them, ending the incidents.

### Ending of Hostilities

After a month and a half of fighting the Don saw that the war was taking its toll on his armies, so he demanded a ceasefire and wanted a peace signed, the drakslavians were hesitant considering the situation but agreed to negotiate a truce. It was decided that all land gain during the war was theirs by right of conquest and that a hard border would be enforced where the frontlines stood, after this was agreed to the treaty was signed and the war was concluded with a stalemate.
