The '''Battle at Floating Fortress Shasarazade''' (水上砦シャサラザード突破, ''Suijiyo Toride Shasarazādo Toppa'') was the penultimate battle of the [[Gate Rune War]]. It was fought between the [[Toran Liberation Army]] and the [[Scarlet Moon Empire|Scarlet Moon]] [[Imperial Army]]. | |||
==Information== | |||
With rebel forces around the Scarlet Moon Empire now united, all that remained was the Imperial capital of [[Gregminster]]. Two options presented themselves; to strike the [[Fortress of Kwaba]] or attack the [[Floating Fortress of Shasarazade]], both gateways to Gregminster. [[Mathiu Silverberg]] made the decision to attack Shasarazade, precisely because the Liberation Army appeared to not have the ships to do so. | With rebel forces around the Scarlet Moon Empire now united, all that remained was the Imperial capital of [[Gregminster]].

Mathiu used [[Dragon|dragon's]] breath to freeze water, creating 500 ice ships, allowing the Liberation Army to sail to Shasarazade where the battle commenced. The Imperial troops, led by [[Great General|General]] [[Sonya Shulen]] were eventually defeated and Shasarazade was razed. However, the battle was not a complete victory. [[Sanchez]] revealed himself to be an Imperial spy, stabbing Mathiu and setting the fortress aflame while officers were still inside. | Mathiu used [[Dragon|dragon's]] breath to freeze water, creating 500 ice ships, allowing the Liberation Army to sail to Shasarazade where the battle commenced.

* If you take the maximum 18,710 troops to Shasarazade, that works out at between 37-38 troops on each of the 500 ships prepared by Mathiu. | * If you take the maximum 18,710 troops to Shasarazade, that works out at between 37-38 troops on each of the 500 ships prepared by Mathiu. | ||
