===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.[[File:Battle of Petro Group Pic.png|thumb|Alliance troops from the FCA, Brittania Bay, New Reno, and Kogongu posing before the battle.]]
With only 4 troops at his disposal, 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===
[[File:
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.
