 ===== Before The Battle =====
-Khan Kovio and kr1sto95 faced the intruder, venomthrope (a known [[memes:mod_abuse|mod abuser]]). When he geared for combat to stand his men, the two Kovanje citizens took flight however. Scornign them cowards, the Finngol leader demanded satisfaction, and proposed the PVP arena at the old spawn as the site of the confrontation, for the conflict to be resolved in an honourable duel between him and kr1sto95. As he waited in vain, he [[memes:mod_abuse|teleported]] back to Finbeleland.

-The Boer forces awaited the savage horde in full battle gear, and thus the battle began. The battlefield moved from the fields of Finbeleland into the woods—a tactical disadvantage for the army of Kovanje, which relied heavily on artillery support. venomthrope thus succeeded in taking out kr1sto95. Thus having rid himself of the curtain fire, he concentarted his forces on Kovio, and subdued him.

 Kovio and kr1sto95 had successfully asserted Kovanje's claim to Finbeleland, and no Finngol was ever sighted in the region again.
+After the famous battle, the territory fell to the reformed Republic of Alempois, which seceded from Kovanje. The great **Finngol Divider** was built, to keep the Finngols from invading the holy lands of Alempois.
