The Cow War was the first military endeavour of the newly formed People's Union. The_Old_Bookman was unhappy with the proximity of Wikaros's new base. The_Old_Bookman was presumed to have murdered all of Wikaros's livestock, which prompted the People's Union to intervene. The long winded war would ultimately strengthen the People's Union's nationalism and power on the server.
History
Pre-war Actions
The_Old_Bookman had created a quaint settlement near to officergogo's preexisting base, causing tension between the two. In retaliation, Wikaros, baconpancakes36, and officergogo began to organize into a larger settlement that soon would be known as Litaly. The tension over these borders would be the primary factor of the outbreak of the coming conflict.
Scope of Conflict Expanding
Wikaros, after returning from Niuhai SSR on a diplomatic visit, found all of the cows in his farms to be slaughtered. The effort put into assembling these farms was not small, and retribution was deemed necessary.
Beginning of Conflict
People's Union Intervention
When Wikaros discovered that all of his cows had been killed, The_Old_Bookman was immediately deemed suspect and the greater People's Union was called in. jusipat and Cflip_ went to The_Old_Bookman's home and demanded that he return cows to Wikaros. The_Old_Bookman insisted on waiting until daytime, but this delay irritated General Secretary jusipat, who found the insolence of the act unacceptable. He therefore ordered Cflip_ to execute all of The_Old_Bookman's livestock in retaliation. The_Old_Bookman began attacking jusipat and Cflip_ on horseback in defense of his lands and property, but eventually fled the battle after taking large amounts damage, and escaped to a hidden base. General Secretary jusipat then engaged in correspondence with Mathooleus; shocked over the incident, and attempted to justify the sudden violence. In this time also, it became clear that this conflict would became a protracted one, therefore jusipat gave to Wikaros the command to, regrettably, impart the command of total destruction against The_Old_Bookman's house and property, after jusipat's ultimatum of honorable surrender was unheeded.
Battle of the Nether
During their route of return to the People's Union through the Nether, Cflip_ and jusipat saw in the chat logs that their Litalian ally, Wikaros, was killed by The_Old_Bookman while he was AFK. This act galvanized the somewhat disjointed and largely spread out People's Union forces into a formidably motivated militia. Cflip_ and jusipat quickly reversed course back to The_Old_Bookman's base. The People's Union allies then suddenly encountered him hiding in the Nether Fortress near the portals to his base. Both sides would shoot arrows and engage in monotonous skirmish, but eventually The_Old_Bookman escaped through one of the portals. Members of the People's Union would be cautioned of this encounter in case The_Old_Bookman pulled the same trick again. Cflip_ and jusipat would eventually find themselves back at the fortress, with The_Old_Bookman firing arrows from above. Cflip_ and jusipat called for support, and held position while The_Old_Bookman continued raining down arrows. Minutes later, bcfoss, Kjolt947 and Wikaros arrived on the scene and attacked The_Old_Bookman with the crushing might of the entire People's Militia. The_Old_Bookman killed bcfoss and fled the scene via ender pearl, narrowly avoiding Kjolt947’s barrage of arrows.
2nd People's Congress
After the other defenders left the fortress, Wikaros encountered The_Old_Bookman in a passage and managed to kill him with a bucket of lava. Wikaros took all of The_Old_Bookman's gear and brought it to the capital of the People's Union in triumph, to be stored in a secret wartime cache. On December 20th, 2021, General Secretary jusipat ordained upon bcfoss for his honorable sacrifice on the battlefield, and Wikaros for his stunning victory over The_Old_Bookman in the Nether with the Merit of the Union award, the highest military honor of the state. Wikaros received this award still while donning the newly acquired mint Netherite armor taken off of The_Old_Bookman's person.
