Kerala War (Classic)
The Kerala War
The Kerala War is a war fought between Japan and Lantau over the town of Kerala, located in southern India. The war was declared by Lantau as a result of Japan annexing the town of Kerala.
Prelude
The prelude to the war saw Lantau and the nation of New India enter into dispute over gold, with Lantaun forces invading the New Indian capital of Kerala. After realizing that New India stood no chance alone against the Republic, Sultan opted to join Japan, establishing the Japanese Raj. This was seen as an insult to the Lantauns, who had previously held good ties with the Japanese, and resulted in a declaration of war on 4/15/2018.
Battles
The war saw many battles, beginning with several Lantauan attacks on Japanese cities.
Sack of Ryuku
The Sack of Ryuku was the first battle of the war, occurring before the Japanese military was prepared for engagements. The battle saw Lantaun troops rushing into the islands of Ryuku, and sacking the territory, stealing everything and destroying the infastructure. The battle was a Lantaun success.
Siege of Shoto
The Siege of Shoto occurred shortly afterwards. A large army of Lantauns, along with volunteers from several other nations, arrived in the mainland of Japan to siege the small city of Shoto. The Japanese defenders were heavily outnumbered, and were forced into a house. The main defender, Vulpain, attempted to trap Lantaun coalition forces in the house to pick them off, however ended up having to fight multiple people within it. Eventually Lantaun forces left, with only EchoOcelot lagging behind, before being chased away. The battle also saw UC-mandated observers watch the fighting, that being Paper and GeneralRhombus, and General was injured during the fighting.
