==Background==
{{Main|Ashina-Kingdom of God War}}
After conducting a series of raids against the Kingdom of God on June 13th in which all but one of its members were killed and their equipment captured, Emperor KnightOfNotch and King Shepsicle were eager to press the advantage and end the war quickly. Emperor KnightOfNotch coordinated with the other leaders in the alliance, namely King RaptorJ6 and Chancellor Cody29797, and created a plan to crush the Kingdom of God in one final blow. Unfortunately, RaptorJ6's computer broke, so he was unable to participate in the assault.▼

Because of Vatican City's advantageous position on a hilltop with only one easily scalable slope to the southeast, launching a successful attack, even against the heavily outnumbered and under-equipped KOG, would require a highly-coordinated attack strategy.

Once the KOG took the bait and left their fortifications to attack Hargreevs and Wreaker, the rest of the alliance, commanded by KnightOfNotch, Shepsicle, RaptorJ6, and Cody29797, would advance from a position concealed by a small ridge to the southwest. With the KOG caught outside of their defenses, they would be forced to either retreat to the north right into the jaws of Ripesack and Grandpa_Boob, or to the west off of a sheer cliff face and likely to their deaths. Armed with this plan, Emperor KnightOfNotch felt confident in a swift victory with few losses.

▲Many uninvolved parties criticized the war, describing it as a glorified massacre, with little hope for KoG survival.
===Initial Attack===
On June 14th at 9:25 CST, the Ashina-led force landed at nearby Homo Town to the east and began to
However, once the alliance arrived at the gates of the Vatican, they came to a stunning realization: none of the members of the KOG were there. Instead, they found a book entitles "you goofy as fuck" that mocked the Ashinians for taking a computer game so seriously. Over the course of the next hour, citizens of the Vatican logged on and off, taunting their attackers. The city was formerly besieged. ▼

===Final Siege===▼
Many of those involved were disappointed in the lack of participation from the KOG. In order to prevent boredom and frustration over such a highly anticipated battle, Admin EmprZedd began spawning giants for the attackers to fight off while they seized the city. ▼
===The 0utFoxxed-Grandpa_Boob Duel===
While the alliance forces were waiting to capture the Vatican, Sir 0utFoxxed of Uhovia, then known as austinzhu, challenged Grandpa_Boob of Lothridge to a duel to entertain the army. After a fierce fight, 0utFoxxed lost, but Grandpa_Boob graciously granted his items back.

==Reactions==
Public reaction to the battle was mixed. Many Alathran citizens took pride in participating in the battle and defeating the Kingdom of God. However, many were disappointed to how the battle turned out. While many people had logged in to fight, most of them did not stay to see the siege through. Pope Mistapurple and the Kingdom of God were widely seen as cowards for refusing to fight, but some citizens sympathized with the small nation. The abandonment of Vatican City could be seen as an act of nonviolent protest against the imperialism of Ashina. However, public opinion still remained strongly with the Ashina Empire.
