Prelude

Holzreich dispatched a large force of Reichguard to storm Grunga and occupy it.

The Engagement
After laying siege to Grunga for 3 days, General Yord made the decision to storm the city. The Reichguard stormed the city walls with siege towers and breached the Western Gate. Once inside the city, the Grungan Garrison were unable to prevent the City's fall.
Outcome
Grunga annexed by Holzreich.
Aftermath
The dissolution of The Kingdom of Grunga.
