Fourth Incursion

Military action

During the Third Incursion into Tildarra, troops from the Kingdom of the Western Princes were sent to aid the Tildarrans in their defense against the barbaric raiders of the East. These were sent by the King's Council after a vote by the Princes decided that it was their duty to defend the Bright Lands agains these invaders before they could overrun Tildarra and encircle their own lands.   After two years of intense resistance, the advance had stalemated, and the defenders were beginning to gain ground, when a sudden surge of enemies emerged from the western borders of the forests of Balios.

The garrisons alongside the northern borders had been overwhelmed by a new wave of attackers hailing from the forests of Balios. It would seem that they were wrong to assume that the full force of the enemy was already engaged in Tildarra, as many thousands of them were now stampeding towards the exposed belly of the Princely Kingdom.   As if those news weren't bad enough, some of the Dukes of Tildarra alongside their common border had suddenly surrendered to the enemy and been promptly slaughtered, leaving the border exposed to the victorious enemy, who were already on their way towards the current Capital. It would seem as if the enemy had outstanding information, and could easily navigate through the newly devastated terrirory.   The order had quickly been given, all regiments on the western border were to come in the capital's aid, and any of them still fighting the invaders were to abandon Tildarra and return to their Kingdom. They would spare no man in defense of foreign lands while their own cities burned...
