Battle for Wesseros
Battle for Wesseros was the battle that ended the First War, with multiple factions fighting against eachother for total control.
The Conflict
Prelude
Gruntar, Yusuur, Luthun, and Pronton decided to launch a surprise attack on Jaask's capital. When their forces finally reached the city though, they got ambushed by Jaask's army just outside of the perimitter. A spy from Gruntars army had leaked the battle plans to Jaask, and they had managed to prepare just in time. The fight between the five armies was short, due to the fact that it was four vs one.
Deployment
Gruntars and their allies were all together, while Jaask was the only army in the city that was defending. Jaask had requested lots and lots of reinforcments from their allies, and a large army was coming to save Jaask, but there was a chance that they wouldn't make it in time.
Battlefield
the main battle took place in Wesseros, which is a large, very heavily populated city. Due to the size of the popultion, it was a pretty dense city, with roads only one person could walk along at one time. Outside of Wesseros there were trees everywhere, providing lots of cover for Gruntar and their allies. There were siege walls all around Wesseros, so Jaask could put multiple riflemen along them.
Conditions
It was a gloomy week, with grey clouds covering the sky, protecting the heavens from the devastion that was about to occur, and rain pouring down to wash away the blood that was about to fill the streets.
The Engagement
When Gruntars army first got ambushed, it was a big surprise. They lost a few troops to the Jaask army, but the bttle was over quickly, due to the fact that Yusuuk had sent a squad to flank the small enemy army and wipe it out. After the quick skirmish, Gruntars army, as well as Yusuuks and Luthuns, moved up to Wesseros, but Pronton stayed behind. The siege began with Gruntar and the two other armies shootng Ion cannons at the siege walls, slowly but surely damaging them. Pronton put all of their men into helicopterss, and flew them overtop of Wesseros. The citys anti-air Ion cannons started to shoot at the Pronton air invasion, but it there were too many, and they flooded in. The Pronton soldiers that were in the helicopters dropped down into the city, killing anyone they could see, soldiers or not. Since there were Pronton soldiers inside the city, Jaask men were taken from the wall to go deal with them, but that made the wall weaker and a lot easier to take over. Pronton soldiers were dwindling quickly, but so were Jaask men, and when Jaask had to pull more soldiers away from the wall, Gruntar and the two other armies made quick work with it. They had succesfully taken the wall, and used their Ion cannons to blast open a large hole in it, but rigt as they did, Jaasks reinforcments came. Kasaak, Markaan and Wonturo forces rushed out from the forest and started to shoot at the attackers. It was a massacre. Since the attackers had no covver, they were easily shot down by the reinforcments. Luckily for the attackers, they managed to get most of their men inside an to cover, but they took heavy losses. They were no longer able to move into the city, they had to stay and defend the hole that they made. For Pronton, it was a little different. They had killed almost all of the Jaask soldiers that were stationed in the city, and began to make their way up into the city keep, where Prime Minister Quireo would be, but as they were doing so a small civilian militia began to fire down on the soldiers walking trough the streets, and were shooting form inside the buldings. This took most of the Pronton soldiers by surprise, and they lost quite a few soldiers. They had to retreat back to a small HQ they had made in order to save troops. Over at the hole, Gruntars forces were hodig nicely. Since Jaaks reinforcments could not move up without running int the open, they had to stay back in the forest. As night came, both sides stopped firing, for Gruntar and their allies it was because their forces were tired, but for Kasaak, Wonturo and Markaan, they had a plan. The forces of Proton were all at the HQ, and had gaurds posted in case of an attack by the local militia. When most of the forces of Gruntar and companyy went to sleep, Kasaak, Wonturo and Markaan made their move. They sent most of their army around to the back of Wesseros, where none of Gruntars forces had attacked. The little forces that Kasaak left behnd began to shoot at the troops that were gaurding the hole, trying to make as much noise as possible. While this was going on, the men who had gone arund the back used Ion cannons to blast a second hole in the wall. Their troops flooded in, making a beeline to the hole. They didn't know about the HQ that Pronton had set up, and they were making quite a bit of noise running through the street. As some Wonturos men went by the HQ, Pronton began to attack. This made a delay in alot of the troops, and once Gruntar and their allies killed all of the Kasaak men that were left behind, they moved into the city, towards where the shooting could be heard. When they were walking towards the sound, they got ambushed by the militia. They quickly wiped them out, simply overpwoering them. When they finally got to Prontons HQ, all they could see was a sea of bodies. It was mainly Pronton soldiers, with a mix of different types of soldiers. All the remaining troops from Jaask, Kasaak, Wonturo and Markaan had set up in the city hall, preparing for a long battle, but Gruntar and the two other armies didn't attack until the 80th, wanting to make the troops inside of the city hall get hungry and tired, so they would be easy to kill with their own refreshed troops. When the day of the battle finally came, Gruntar and Yusuuk moved all their troops in the front, starting the fight. Jaask and their allies had lots of cover, and Gruntar and Yusuuk had next to none, but Luthun had gone around the back, blasting down the wall with their one remaining Ion cannon. Luthuns forces moved in quickly, slaughtering everyone in their sight. This caused of the remianing Jaask, Wonturo, Kasaak and Markaan forces to surredner, endng the battle.

Jaask had been taken down, and the four attacking nations ad split all of their plunders. Gruntar took control of Wesseros and enslaved all of the living inhabitants.
