Battle of E-Naeurl

Battle of E-Naüru was a battle in the war between the Re-Estize Kingdom and the Sorcerer Kingdom. It was the first major battle of the conflict.

Background
After the Re-Estize Kingdom's New Faction attacked one of their transports, the Sorcerer Kingdom declared war on the nation.

Given the difference in military might and unlikelihood of receiving foreign aid, since their nation technically instigated the war, the Kingdom's desperately tried to sue for peace. However, despite King Ramposa III going as far as to attempt to offer up his own life to try to appease Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown, the Sorcerer Kingdom's prime minister, Albedo, merely stated that the war would proceed in one month.

Thus, despite knowing they did not stand a chance, the Kingdom began preparing for war. However, this only applied for territories who were likely to be within the armies' path. On the other hand, regions that would likely only be effected by the time the Royal Capital had already fallen did not even bother to evacuate the civilians or build fortifications.

Unfortunately for the Kingdom, the date the Sorcerer Kingdom had given for the start of their invasion was all an elaborate ruse. In reality, while the Kingdom prepared, the Sorcerer Kingdom secretly marched their armies over the border and began invading those territories that thought themselves to be outside the line of fire. Like this, the Sorcerer Kingdom easily conquered the Kingdom's western and northern regions, cutting the nation off from its last remaining ally, the Argland Council State, and isolating the Royal Capital. Then, they massacred all the inhabitants and halted the flow of information out of these regions, causing the Kingdom's leadership to have no idea that the Sorcerer Kingdom had already begun their invasion.

To complete their encirclement, the Sorcerer Kingdom targeted the port city of E-Naüru. Before this, however, news of the invasion had finally leaked out when a noble escaped his territory just before the Sorcerer Kingdom attacked and made it to the port. Now knowing they were coming, the city began last-minute preparations. The city's overseer, Count Naüa, called on multiple organizations for aid. A special Magic Caster Unit was formed and the city's strongest Adventurer group, Four Armaments, was put in charge of the defenses. An evacuation order was also given, though most citizens had nowhere to go and thus choose to stay.

A few days later, the Sorcerer Kingdom's armies arrived and the battle began.

Battle
E-Naüru's defenders saw that the Sorcerer Kingdom's forces were mostly low-ranking Undead. Two stuck out though: a Death Knight and Death Warrior. Since both them were close-quarter combatants, Four Armaments decided that the best strategy was a long-range battle. However, arrows were unlikely to do much to the Death Knight and Warrior. This meant they would eventually have to engage them in close-quarters, in which case the amount of damage they could inflict before they penetrated the city would decide the battle.

Once the undead were within range, archers began to loosen their arrows on them and actually managed to take out a fair bit. After just three volleys, however, the Death Knight suddenly began rushing towards the city gate. In response, Scama Elbero ordered the mages fire on it with the fireball spell. Despite hitting it at point black range, however, the Death Knight pressed on as if it had taken no damage at all.
