The battle mainly took place near the western border of Orenburg, close to the IKEA. Apparently, there was an unknown third side in the conflict, because the battle hotspot has moved several times. A member of Khazar (sabakan_PVP), a close ally of Volga, has refused to leave the unwanted battle, and shortly, unexpectedly attacked and killed ConsularScobz, an important member of Volga, who thought that sabakan_PVP was on his side. The nation of Khazar has been added to enemies, although, after successful talks between Ferraru, the empress of Volga, and the Khazar leader, seychelles4567, the situation has been handled and the lost items, namely, a full enchanted mending netherite set and a full enchanted mending netherite sword, were returned, and a compensation of 100 gold ingots was given.
