Background
Starting April 13th, the Cossack Liberation Army led by TheUnshameless has been leading a murder campaign with the stated purpose of "Getting XP." His presence in the Faru region caused friction and led to the formation of the Urbis City Militia by Renarchat. The militia pursued TheUnshameless to no avail. During this time, the Faruan Army was formed by LoganXylia.
April 13th- 1st Urbis City skirmish and start of the war
TheUnshameless rode to the north of Urbis City horseback, frightening local residents. The Urbis City Militia was called along with the support of a nearby Faruan Army patrol, causing a standoff. TheUnshameless claimed to have been there in peace. However, the military, supported by the militia, charged at him and severely wounded him. His horse was killed when Aleksandr Novak struck it with several arrows.
The combined forces celebrated a minor victory. In response to the incident, the Cossacks swore to destroy the Faruan Army.
Siege of The Cossack Hole
After the 1st Urbis City Skirmish the Cossacks retreated north and replenished their forces. After rearming they launched a few more successful raids against northern settlements. The Faruan Army began to march on the Cossacks which prompted them to retreat to the Mesa badlands in the far north of Infaru.
The Cossacks arrived in the mesa and repaired their old fortifications, a impervious bunker hidden in a underground reservoir. The Repairs were finished before the Faruan Army's arrival, prompting a drawn out siege.
The siege was long and uneventful, resulting in neither side gaining a decisive advantage. During the siege the Faruan Army attempted various means to breach the defenses, including explosive detonations and releasing lava into the caverns. During the siege the Faruan's suffered a single casualty to attrition after one of their soldiers burnt to death while setting lava. After several hours the Faruan army eventually withdrew from the region. Even though the siege was unsuccessful the Army established a northern base above the cavern for future incursions.
1st Badland Skirmish and 2nd Urbis City Skrimish
After a Cossack raid near the coast of cerise a contingent of 2 Urbis City Militiamen began to track the small Cossack Host consisting only of Hetman Unshameless. The Cossack force was chased to the northern badlands where a battle ensued within a Pillager outpost. The Militia force was wiped out in this engagement.
Much later, a Cossack Host of 2 headed south to Urbis City. Even Though the mayor, Renarchat, had forewarning of the oncoming army he refused to prepare a response, believing the Cossacks would not attack late at night. However, the Cossack host arrived and a skirmish took place, resulting in the wounding of 2 Urbis Militiaman and the Cossacks looting precious gems and food items.
This concludes the military actions on April 13th.
