The War against Cove and her allies is now in full swing! Weeks ago Cove invaded the city of Nujel'm, taking control and blocking all trade ships between the city and Vesper. Nujel'm being our nearest sea neighbour is one of the Republics biggest trading partners. Cove knows this and are taking action to damage our economy. Such an important source of income is needed during a war and thus the Republic is not going to let it happen without a fight!
The forces of the Republic rallied together and sailed our battleship the RVS Twothumb across the ocean to Nujel'm's doorstep! The Vesparians expected to find a walled and fortified coastline but were surprised to find no resistance, or so they thought. Upon investigating further they soon witnessed the enemy army emerge from the behind the buildings and charge directly at them.
After a quick volley of cannon fire the army of the Republic jumped ship to heroically meet the enemy head on in battle. Vesper stood their ground against the larger enemy force but eventually were pushed back. The Redguard and her allies retreated to the northern buildings to regroup.
Once our troops had gathered their strength once more, they charged into the housing district where they took defensive positions in one of the houses in order to fight back the united army of Cove and Yew. Vesper held their fortified position for some time before becoming overrun and falling back once more.
Beaten and bloodied with morale running low, the Republic gave their all in one last assault on the inner city gate but it was no hope. The enemy force was simple too overwhelming. The Republic fell back to the RVS Twothumb and sailed home. The Duchy of Trinsic aided the wounded of both sides during the battle, using their ship as a healing station.
Live to fight another day!
