The Battle of Pyr was the sole battle in the crusade on Laianism (on Holy Laiannic Empire), executed by the Pyrannists (Ashenheim Empire, specifically Yalra). The battle happened on 2025/12/15, in North-East HLE. The Yalran attackers gained support from Crannog, who doubled Yalran manpower. The defenders in HLE had 3 soldiers, all of whom were their own citizens.

Battle

The battle lasted for roughly 30 minutes. Yalran and Crannog attackers attacked from the North, whilst Laian defenders came from the South. The battle consisted of two waves, with Yalran forces arriving first, and Crannog forces later. This tactic was not on purpose, but rather a consequence of Crannog soldiers getting lost during their journey to Yalra. Crannog forces did not manage to make it to Anneimd in time, and the defenders managed to defeat the Yalran forces before they arrived. There was a further minor skirmish between a Crannog soldier and a Laian soldier (Laian Victory), the skirmishing Crannog soldier was captured after the event. As a sign of goodwill, all equipment was returned after the battle to both Yalra and Crannoghold.

Retelling of the Battle

During their initial advance, Laian forces prepared for a lenghtened conflict by setting up regearing stations around the battlefield, and got one of their soldiers temporarily stuck behind a fence. The soldier got unstuck before any enemy forces approached. The regearing stations were not needed, as the battle was won before any soldiers ran out of supplies. One soldier commented, that they "over-estimated their foe on purpose".

The first wave consisted of a single Yalran soldiers running on the Anneimd railway towards Laia. All three defenders focused their attacks on the soldier, and managed to eventually make the soldier retreat. One of the defenders followed the escapee, and managed to kill them before they could recover their injuries. By getting rid of the Yalran attackers, the defenders had managed to secure the area, and the battle was won.
