	bcfoss was left alone to defend Sableterre. Kjolt947 who had stayed behind the main fighting, split with the main Citroyan force and parleyed with bcfoss, gifting baked potatoes and suggesting to bcfoss that Arenia surrender. After further negotiations with jusipat returning from junair3's pillaged island, bcfoss accepted under the conditions that Arenia would maintain neutrality for the rest of the war and release Kurokegania as an independent nation. Thus the [[Sableterre\|Arenican Empire]] ''(but not Kurokegania)'' dropped out of the war.		bcfoss was left alone to defend Sableterre.

	Citroye gained both a tactical and strategic victory from this outcome, as it now meant that the Citroyan forces held a clear numerical advantage against the scattered defenders of Kurokegania ''(who at this point had been folded into the defense of Shanbao)'' and Shanbao.

	Insulated by Kurokegania and confident in a swift victory, bcfoss had neglected to fortify the western edge of the island against invasion, thus leaving the Bibliotheca Arenica dangerously exposed. The library entrance was blocked off with obsidian, and the third story of the Library was hastily modified into a defensive position with wooden stockades and walkways erected on the sides.

	With the coalition forces in full retreat, the question of 'how far?' arose. [[Kurokaigen\|Arenican Kurokegania]] was immediately written off as not worth defending for being too close to Citroye, which just left [[Shanbao]] and [[Sableterre\|Arenia]] proper. While the main force continued on to Shanbao, bcfoss split off in order to begin fortifying Sableterre. As the fortifications were hastily assembled, Kurokaigen was targeted in full force by forces of the Citroye and looted. ~~In a cruel move~~, ~~perrault22 destroyed~~ all of the concrete stores, knowing the inconvenience it was to make it all.

			Prior to the beginning of the war, l'Empire de la Citroye had been at peace since its formation. Far to the north of the other powers on the server, jusipat had constructed the indominable fortress of the [[Gouffre pastèque]] and taken token control of [[Melondeau]] as a vassal of the new Citroyan Empire. Furthermore, Citroye was expanding as perrault22 began playing on the server.

			There was no indication that the Empire would soon be attacked. Citroye's vast riches in minerals extracted were relatively unprotected behind the walls of the Gouffre.

A meeting was held in the [[Shanbao Diplomatic Centre]], and it was decided that they would be able to siege the Gouffre fort in Citroye and steal jusipat's iron supplies.

	jusipat and perrault22 eventually went on the offensive after seeing no significant attack was progressing, however Cflip_ lost connection to the server during this critical moment and was killed ~~upon~~ rejoining. Cflip_ lost his entire set of enchanted diamond armour to jusipat, who took the armour and used it against the attackers. It was at this moment that the entire war turned around, as the one advantage Kurokaigan had against the defenders was lost.		The alliances' plans to draw out the defenders of the fortress was unsuccessful, as it gave the initiative to the defenders of the Gouffre, who began probing outwards. jusipat and perrault22 eventually went on the offensive after seeing no significant attack was progressing, however Cflip_ lost connection to the server during this critical moment and was rapidly tracked down and killed once rejoining. Cflip_ lost his entire set of enchanted diamond armour to jusipat, who took the armour and used it against the attackers. It was at this moment that the entire war turned around, as the one advantage Kurokaigan had against the defenders was lost. Following this, jusipat quickly gave his previous diamond chestplate to perrault22 and began tracking down Wikaros who remained on the battlefield. While perrault22 began advancing to hunt for other attackers, jusipat successfully tracked down Wikaros to the west of the fortress, slaying him. bcfoss then withdrew from the attack until the alliance could regroup.

	Cflip_ gathered some weapons and armour scattered across the battlefield and the team regrouped to go in for another attack. At this time, bcfoss ~~secretly gave information~~ to jusipat regarding the faltering morale of the attackers.		Wikaros and Cflip_ respawned at a forward operating base south of the Gouffre, they then gathered some weapons and armour scattered across the battlefield and the team regrouped to go in for another attack.
