The Salt War

Military: War

As Kogeki began to send ships to harvest resources in Othn, Metaric took these ships down. This caused anger from Kogeki, and after some political distress, Kogeki sent a letter of peace to Metaric. Along with that letter, Kogeki sent ninja to spy on the leaders in Metaric's capital. Somehow, Metaric found said spies and captured them. After a long time of silence from the spies, Kogeki received a package from Metaric. A box with tortured and scarred corpses arrived at their doorstep. Kogeki waged war on Metaric and began preparations. Although Metaric had a larger military force and more supplies for war, Kogeki had an unknown ally. Salt Cove was closely knit with Kogeki, they traded quite often and it seems as though the Scaleback Pirates were allied with the Founder of Kogeki. This allowed Kogeki to defeat moving Metaric forces in naval battles, which the inquisitors had no experience with. The 1-month long war was concluded with a battle in the city of Cutlass. The main force of the inquisition was placed there, and they had finally arrived at a city they could pillage. As the force walked into the city in the dead of night, they were all eliminated. The last thing that the enemies heard, was the sound of thunder. This battle was called Oni no machibuse, or Demon's Ambush. And after this battle, the forces of Metaric sent a letter of peace, and all was resolved.
