Areteee snuck around Madeuwe for hours, tracking the Walschorer allies' movements on the island, and at last located their secret hidehout. Prior to the battle, he dug a tunnel leading right into the innermost of their barracks, crucial to their defeat; while the intelligence gathered by Enton was fragmentary and not capitalised upon. | + | Both sides were aware of each other's secrets, but the Bremian spies outclassed the Onionlanders'.

| - | The Walschorer army was ill-prepared, and their strategy collapsed the moment they left their base. The blockhouses were unmanned, the battle plan was forgotten, and any semblance of a formation was soon dissolved. But worse, their momentum was robbed by the fact that their enemies had not, as expected, taken the offence. An argument ensued between the two leaders, Cabst and P.P.A., over who was meant to invade whom. Eventually the Rhodesians and their allies left their positions, and crossed the strait between Exile Island and Madeuwe. | + | The Walschorer army was ill-prepared, and their strategy collapsed the moment they left their base.

| - | They met Nieuw Walschor's disoriented army unprepared. The Walschorer horses succeeding in causing havoc at the very beginning, but they were felled one after the other, and within minutes they all lay dead, leaving the scattered soldiers—many of them fresh recruits—to fight on foot against battle-hardened veterans. With Ghoul and several other players charging in like a god in his youth, the Rhodesians were able to overcome their disadvantage due to the necessary river crossing to get to the other island. Nonetheless, Nieuw Walschor's troops were able to stop many advances by the Rhodesians, thanks also to able fighters like Kriegstein's Fogel. Rogue nemo summoned a waterstream from a secret pathway in the sky, climbed the enemy lighthouse and started flooding the interior, but Nieuw Walschor's disorganised troops were unable to capitalise on this, and kept getting bogged down in skirmishes of little significance. | + | They met Nieuw Walschor's disoriented army unprepared.

| Kim Jong Bat heard the plight of his allies in the face of imperialism and authorized General Secretary Bul Go Gi to deploy the prototype intercontinental ballistic missile, Taepodong from headquarters. The ICBM struck the island with mostly collateral damage before spiraling out of control into the Sea of Florina. The operation was mostly held as a huge success as the weapons system managed to deliver its payload, although they did not have much control. The Ender Republic soon after issued a condemnation of the North Enderian missile launch and stated this incident was unacceptable to the people of Oceania. | Kim Jong Bat heard the plight of his allies in the face of imperialism and authorized General Secretary Bul Go Gi to deploy the prototype intercontinental ballistic missile, Taepodong from headquarters.

| - | Taepodong wreaked havoc, killed the remaining Walschorer horses, and laid the landscape to waste. The Walschorer ranks were scattered, many devoured by the explosions, allowing the Rhodesians to break through and to gain a foothold on the island. With many pushing forward and intercepting the Walschorer reinforcements while securing the resources they lost upon death it seemed this battle was all but decided. But Walschor successfully counterattacked, drove them back to Exile Island, and indeed besieged the ruins of their stronghold—wrecked by a second Wither summoned by Cabst to try and halt the Walschorer. But while they often forced the Rhodesians into a corner, they lacked the cohesion to crush them decisively, while the Rhodesian regrouped and prepared for a counter-counteroffence. | + | Taepodong wreaked havoc, killed the remaining Walschorer horses, destroyed the returning Mongol's attempt at an ambush, and laid the landscape to waste.

| Areteee, meanwhile, had infiltrated the Walschorer barracks invisible, evading even the eyes of the dutiful gatekeeper Selphos, who dutifully closed the secret entrance every time a respawned warrior headed back out into the fight. He passed an opportune moment and entered the core of the structure to break all the Walschorer beds. Soon, most of the army found itself at the spawn, confused how this could happen, as there had been no breach of their fortress. | Areteee, meanwhile, had infiltrated the Walschorer barracks invisible, evading even the eyes of the dutiful gatekeeper Selphos, who dutifully closed the secret entrance every time a respawned warrior headed back out into the fight.
