The Siege of The Vatican was the final event of the [[Ashina|Ashinian]] conquest of the [[Kingdom of God]]. It took place on June 14th, 2021 at 9:30, when a coalition of Ashina, [[Fare-Sesso]] and [[Free Cities of Alathra|FCA]] forces stormed an abandoned Vatican City. The Ashinian forces were led by [[Shepsicle]]Emperor KnightofNotch, King Shepsicle of [[KnightofNotchNew Ashina City]], and [[Grandpa Boob]]Grandpa_boob of [[Lothridge]]. The FCA Battalion was commanded by [[Chancellor Cody]]Cody29797, and the Fare-Sesso Battalion by [[King RaptorJ6]].
 
The battle was won by Ashina following a refusal of war by the Kingdom of God, led by [[Pope Mistapurple]], and Vatican City fell under Ashinian rule.
 
==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.▼
 
In the time leading up to the siege, many uninvolved parties criticized the war, describing it as a glorified massacre, with little hope for KOG survival.▼
On June 11th, four days before the fated battle, the Kingdom of God's [[The Holy Pantheon|Anime]] Map art was griefed by an unknown perpetrator. Angry at the destruction of their work, they ordered a [[Pact of the Immortal Blood|PIB]] hit on [[Hargreevs]], who mocked their map art the day prior.
 
===Ashina's Preparations= and strategy==▼
This hit ended in disaster, as Hargreevs successfully fought off the assassin, and stole a book that revealed who paid for the hit, although the KOGs connection was dubious. It also stated that the same person had paid for a hit on Shepsicle earlier that week.

Hargreevs called a meeting at the [[Kais Kogong]] inn, where the Ashinians learned of the assassination. [[Vasya]] attempted to placate them, proposing alternative theories on the involvement of the KOG, as they were not mentioned in the book. Nevertheless, the conclusion was reached that the Kingdom of God had assassinated one of the highest ranked members of Ashina. They declared war on the KOG on June 12th.
 
==The Ashina-Vatican 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.
 
▲===Ashina's Preparations===
[[File:Vatican Siege Plans.png|thumb|600px|Emperor KnightOfNotch's initial battle plans. While Ripesack and Grandpa_Boob harry KOG forces from the north and Hargreevs and Wreaker_Prime attack from the east, the main force would advance from the south.]]
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.
Line 58 ⟶ 47:
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.
 
== The battle ==
▲In the time leading up to the siege, 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 advance to their positions, just as a brutal thunderstorm descended on the battlefield. Although some units were separated during the storm, by 9:30 CST, all troops were in position, ready to attack. At this time, Emperor KnightOfNotch started playing music from the DOOM soundtrack and gave the order to attack.
