===The FCA's Ultimatum===
Up to this point, the FCA was torn between supporting Pultria and Petroselinum. On one hand, the FCA wished to support Petroselinum's autonomy as it had with Lost Wind and Synbio. On the other hand however, the FCA was still allied with Pultria, and risked damaging its reputation by breaking its alliance with Pultria to defend Petroselinum. After much deliberation, at

Soon after chickenprism's response, Fare-Sesso declared war on Pultria, setting the stage for a massive battle between both sides.

===Chickenprism's Leverage===
At some point before the battle began, chickenprism managed to obtain the original copies of several significant historical documents from the Library of Kais Kogong, including The Fire Synod by Vasya, The Tale of MTA by LordMonkey1, and the Slavongrad-Ashina Treaty. While he claimed that a spy from Kogongu gave him the books, Vasya asserted that the books were stolen while a section of the library was unclaimed. Regardless of how the books were acquired, chickenprism now had several invaluable hostages that he could use to bargain with the other nations.
===Battle Plans===
For the upcoming battle, Chancellor Cody29797 was placed in charge of organizing the defense of Petroselinum. He decided to place the majority of the 11 FCA troops under his command along with the rest of the alliance at the southern side of the island, where a large ice floe would enable an easy crossing for chickenprism's forces. Covered by the thick spruce trees dotting the coastline, the alliance archers could pepper the attackers with arrows while facing little retaliation. The reserve troops would remain in the center of the island, ready to respond in case chickenprism decided to launch a surprise attack from another angle. Cody's overall strategy going in to the fight was to end the war as quickly as possible by driving off chickenprism's forces and then laying siege on Savage Crow until chickenprism surrendered.
Hopelessly outnumbered, King chickenprism understood that victory would come not with a direct triumph over the alliance but rather by turning its members against each other. Though chickenprism did not know Cody's plan to siege Savage Crow, he understood that Kogongu would take offense to the FCA displaying needless violence or appearing to try to conquer Pultria. Thus, he was prepared to use this point to drive a wedge between the alliance members. Surprisingly, chickenprism decided not to use the books as leverage during the battle, instead saving them for the negotiations after the battle.
===The Battle Begins===
On July 1 at
On the north side of the ford, the alliance forces were able to take cover behind the thick spruce trees which dotted the coastline and fire on the attackers without much retaliation. On the other hand, the attacking Pultria troops were forced to advance across an open snowy plain as well as the large ice floe in the river, leaving them exposed to enemy fire.
After braving the alliance's unforgiving arrows up to the middle of the ford, the Pultria forces constructed a makeshift cover wall upon the ice floe, giving their archers an opportunity to fire back at the alliance's troops. However, after a few minutes of exchanging fire, the alliance stormed Pultria's barricade in a charge led by Hargreevs of Kogongu, who killed chickenprism in the ensuing assault. Pultria's forces were quickly killed or routed back to Savage Crow, where Chancellor Cody29797 laid siege.
