Noopian-Orien War

The Noopian-Orien War is an ongoing war between Noopaland and Oren.

Chronology
The Noopian-Orien war started on July 29th, 2020 and is still ongoing to this day. The war began when the Oriens attempted to storm the capital city of Noopaland, Noop City.

Background
The Noopians did not know much about the Oriens before the war. All that was known was that they inhabit the Forest of the Ever Dark and that they had a mostly neutral relationship with Noopians. It is currently unknown what caused them to attack, but this is being investigated.

Course of the War
When the war began on July 29th, 2020, the Oriens sent many of their troops to the Noop City, the capital of Noopaland. The Noopians were able to successfully defend their city against the invaders and decided to take the fight to them.

Battle of Noop City (July 29th, 2020)
The battle of Noop City began on July 29th, 2020 when armed Orien illagers entered the city through their dark portal that they built several days earlier. The Noopian military was ready to respond to the threat and mobilized extremely quickly to meet the threat on the battlefield. The swords, crossbows and shields of the Oriens were no match for Noopian guns and well crafted melee weapons. There were approximately 5-6 waves of Oriens that went through the portal, all of which were decimated by superior Noopian weapons. Even the magic of the Orien Evokers was not enough to stop Noopian bullets and highly advanced melee weapons. Eventually, the superior Noopian force was able to clear all Oriens in the city and surrounded the portal. When they received the order to go through the portal, they did so without hesitation. Only one Noopian soldier died during this first battle. An unknown number of Orien combatants were also killed in action.

Battle of Oren (July 29th, 2020)
When the Noopians exited the dark portal on the other side, they found themselves in the strange and mysterious Forest of the Ever Dark. Here they found an Orien mansion atop a hill. The Noopian soldiers shot and killed all guards on the outside and proceeded to raid the mansion. All Oriens inside were killed by the Noopian force without a single Noopian death. The Noopians held the mansion while waiting for reinforcements. Many waves of Orien foot-soldiers attempted to take back the manor, but to no avail. Extra Noopian troops did arrive in a short amount of time and finished the last of the waves. The Noopian army then began their march towards the main Orien castle.

Once at the castle, the Noopians were quick to scale the walls and gain entry into the main courtyard. Orien knights and archers greeted the Noopians in the courtyard and managed to kill 3 Noopian soldiers, however the Noopian force greatly overwhelmed the Oriens with their bullets and superior weapons. After this, the Noopians rounded up all of the Orien civilians in the castle and executed them. The Noopians were out of ammunition by the time they gained entry into the throne room. Inside, were swarms of knights, archers and the King of all Oriens himself. Because the Noopians could no longer fire their guns, they were forced into close quarters melee combat. 8 Noopians were killed inside the castle and an unknown amount of Oriens were also killed, including the king. Once the king was killed, the Noopians took his stash of swords as souvenirs and proceeded to loot and ransack the castle. The castle grounds were searched for any remaining Oriens and then abandoned by the Noopians to avoid being cursed by the dark magic of the forest. 11 Noopians died during this battle, as well as an unknown body count in the thousands for the Oriens.
