The counterattack of Cillland
After having a bit of time to organise properly Cillland raised an army to fight back.
They received troops from Ordon to support them.
This army was led by the Baron of Cillland, Edwin Jarvis.
The Baron brought a powerful weapon with him to properly strike back against the orcs, cannons; they are expensive but worth using against a terrible foe such as the orcs.

The Conflict
Prelude
The Baron of Cillland received troops from Ordon to help against the orcish threat. After having a bit of time to organise, the Baron of Cillland decided to strike back against the orcs that are invading his lands. He decided to lead this army himself. The orcs received a few reinforcements themselves.
Deployment
The orcs were in the process of building fortifications and crude forts when there were caught by surprise when the army of Cillland arrived.
Cillland were in formation and ready to fight. They set up their cannons, ballistae and catapults ready to attack at range before engaging the orcs in melee.
Battlefield
The battlefield consisted of rocky hills and fields.
Conditions
The army of Cillland attacked around mid-day, it was cloudy.
The Engagement
The forces of Cillland attacked using their cannons, ballistae, catapults, crossbowmen and archers. Having ranged superiority with their siege engines they forced the orcs to come to them. The siege engines had devastating results before the orcs finally got into melee range where they were engaged by the heavy infantry of Cillland.
The orcs were weakened and thus were beaten back. Fleeing when they saw they could not win.
The siege engines fired at the fleeing orcs reducing their numbers further.
Outcome
The orcs were beaten back across the border of Cillland.
Aftermath
The forces of Cillland destroyed the fortifications and forts the orcs built and began building their own fortifications in case the orcs return.
