Siege of Loyts

Siege of Loyts was a battle during Jaldabaoth's siege on the Roble Holy Kingdom. After the city of Loyts was retaken by the Holy Kingdom Liberation Army, the demon sent a 40,000 strong demi-human army to recapture it.

Background
A week after the Holy Kingdom Liberation Army captured Loyts the food supplies of the city were dwindling and the army was about to move out. Outside their walls though a demi-human army appeared from over the horizon. The demi-human army was comprised of 40,000 of the 50,000 troops that the Demi-Human Alliance allocated to manage the prison camps of the Northern Holy Kingdom. Though the humans that occupied the city only numbered 10,000 strong, the demi-humans allowed their enemies a few days to prepare. The commanding demi-human chieftain, Rokesh, under the orders of the Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth was given command of the campaign and instructions to maximize the fear in the humans.

After three days had passed, Rokesh gathered all the chieftains for a war council to hash out their plan of attack. After the Naga Raja briefly restored order among those present, defusing a fight between Vijar Rajandala and Nasrene Belt Cure with a stern warning that their actions would be reported to the Demon Emperor. Rokesh ordered that the army will attack the city in two days, but until then they will be content to observe the human army. While the delay in the attack would give the human defenders time to launch a counterattack, it would also mean to allow the demi-humans time to deal with their human captives that they brought along. It was suggested that they use the humans they bought as food and kill them before the city to terrorize them, though Vijar believed such an action might push the humans to surrendering and make things boring. Rokesh agreed as another part of Jaldabaoth's orders were not allow some of the humans to live. The plan was to attack the western gate and kill everyone there before moving to the eastern gate and chase the humans away. Nasrene Belt Cure and Hectowaizes Ah Ragara were left to handle the eastern gate, while Muar Praxua would lead ranged fighters to harass the northern and southern gates. All the other chieftains though would concentrate on the western gate save for Rokesh who would be away from the frontlines to coordinate their forces. That being said Rokesh announced the meeting over and ordered them to rest and save their strength so that the could lead the humans into despair.

Battle
On the fourth day, the demi-humans did as they planned and brought their captives to the outer wall of Loyts. There before the human defenders who were unable to attack them the demi-humans proceeded to butcher the prisoners and eat them. The demi-humans then proceeded to attack the western and then eastern gates of the city. Remedios Custodio commanding the Liberation Army's forces planned to hold out the siege at least until the nobles that were freed from the camps reached the Southern Noble Alliance and brought back reinforcements. It was her belief that the enemy was underestimating them and that the best strategy would be to gather all her forces at the east gate and crush the attack before moving to the west gate. But realized that the plan would fail as the small detachment at the west gate would be lost to the enemy's main force.

The captain sought an idea from her second, Gustav Montagnés but before doing so the paladin informed her that people were expecting the Sorcerer King to take part in the battle. However the Ainz Ooal Gown would not be participating as he was still recovering his mana and to hold himself in reserve in case Jaldabaoth attacked. Despite the reasons some remaining nobles in the city attempted to offer large sums of money to receive hi help to no avail. To Remedios for the people to request the aid of the Sorcerer King an unholy undead was ridiculous and even insulting when they saw him as a hero. The captain refused to acknowledge the contribution Ainz provided to the cause of the liberation, holding him responsible for the deaths of the hostages in spite of the fact his actions allowed her to retake the city. Furthermore she rejected the idea that her friend Calca Bessarez was dead, and any aid received from the Sorcerer King would sully the Holy Queen's reign.
