Earlier today, the Kyan-Kroandon war came to a close when all occupying Kroandon forces withdrew to their heavily damaged fleet. The war took place over the course of around 2 months, but cost hundreds of thousands of lives. Kroando declared war on Logan and Ky after Kyan aide was sent to Vontanas in the battle of Gateway. Shortly afterwards, a Kroandon invading fleet made way to Logan and Ky. It was stopped by the entire Kyan navy. A week long naval battle and air battle ensued which resulted in the destruction of all Kyan naval forces and the crippling of Kroando's fleet.

Following this, the city of New Hilingrad on Logan and Ky's western coast was heavily bombarded. A landing force was then sent to the beach. This force was reppelled after a day long battle in which Kyan armour surrounded the Kroandon forces. After this, 2 Kroandon landings were made to the north and south of New Hilingrad. A Kyan force consisting of armour, artillery, and infantry was then sent to the north, while a force consisting purely of infantry was sent to the south, while over 300,000 troops remained in the city. The force in the north was swiftly defeated by superior Kroandon artillery. The force in the south, however, forced the Kroandons to stop, as they could not advance for fear of booby traps, land mines, and rigged explosives.

After this, New Hilingrad was under siege. Artillery bombarded the city for 3 straight days, before Kroandon ground forces invaded the city. Kroandon air support was also available as the week long urban battle took place. This battle resulted in the near complete destruction of the city. Eventually, Kyan forces withdrew in a chaotic, violent retreat. After this battle, however, Kyan forces stopped the Kroandons at the thick Kyan forest and at the mountains, and eventually Kroando withdrew. Losses on the Kyan side were around 200,000 total, for the Kroandon's it is estimated around 110,000.
