Templars: Difference between revisions

Following the entrapment and killing of a Templar by The Heart Pirates, Trafalgar_Law and Goldieh, the Templars declared their first war on the crew. There were multiple raids made against the pirates by Templar forces, accompanied in some cases by their British allies. However, an incident in which the British abandoned the Templars in the midst of a battle lead to the breakdown of allied relationships between the British Empire and Templars.

As allied relations broke down between the Templars and British Empire, the Templars voted to declare war. They publicly denounced the British Empire for its behaviour and declared their intentions to seek retribution. However, accusations were levelled against the Templars for war mongering due to its reasons for instigating a conflict. Recently, it has come to light that the Templars had planned it all from the beginning. After recognising the monopoly on pvpers that the BE, they planned to ally them until they were strong enough to orchestrate enough reasons to declare war, without appearing to be at fault.

The first notable battle of the war occurred the Fort Xero. Initially a small skirmish by CaptainCraken, Shay and CrazyPirate1 against Browe_, the battle quickly escalated as both sides called for reinforcements. The siege lasted four hours as Templar and Asylum forces repelled a coalition of British, Elven and Juice Pirate forces. Initially, the attackers quickly overcame the defenders with the use of siege ships, and forced them to retreat inside. However, the defenders were able to regain control of the battlement cannons and inflict heavy losses on the attacking force.
