It was a cold morning. The grass was filled with frost from the previous night and started to melt as the blood red sun rose up. It had been 6 years of this. 6 years of war. The Triple Entente Alliance 1st Continental Army arose from its camp just outside the capital city of Nishcat, Shalas. Now, for 6 years, the despot of Suffraly had been biting deep into the lands of S.D.A. After the first destructive annual of the war, the Triple Entente Alliance was formed between the nations of Great Helghast, Pikurus, Systamus, and Nishcat. Two months later, Nishcat had fallen to the vast armies and resourses of the Dictatorship of Suffraly. Scouts had reported this morning that the Suffralian army was still asleep on the banks of the Titan River, just a few miles from their current position. The order was given and the army assembled. If the Suffralian army was disposed of here, surely the Global Defence Network would recognize the victory of the Entente and declare war on Suffraly. Early morning passed into late, as the army quietly set up pontoon bridges to cross the river. Many enemy sentries had been killed, most of them not even suspecting an attack on the rear of thier lines. From there, the army was split in two. The smaller half along with most of the cannon was moved to the right flank of the Suffralian army. The greater whole however, took up positions on the hills surrounding the enemy nationals. At exactly 12:00 PM, the second, smaller half of the army opened fire with a massive artillary barrage. At 12:23, musket fire could start to be heard as the massive Suffralian army moved to face the threat. That was the signal! All Continental Cavalry and Infantry Divisions moved at the rear of the greater mass. Within minutes the cavarly had cut deep into enemy lines sending droves of soldiers retreating. The infantry then arrived. They quickly overran half of the Suffraly National Army taking them as prisoners of war. The remnants of what had once been the greatest known show of force on the continent was limping back to its border. With that victory, now known as the Battle of the Shalas Hills, the international powers recognized the Triple Entente's intentions of self defence and interviened, effectivly stopping the war and removing the dispicable and hated despot of Suffraly.
