The Battle of Fireface

The Battle of Fireface was the penultimate battle of the Crow-Human War. It saw the fall of the town of Fireface at the hands of the recently formed "Crow and Pigeon Alliance". In the end, all 5000 human participants in the battle were killed, while only 64 Crows and Pigeons were killed by the humans.

Battle Order:
The Battle of Fireface started at 10:43 AM, in the town square of Fireface. It was Sunday, and the church of Fireface was just letting out for the day. Meanwhile, a flock of 20 million crows and pigeons (fresh from their victory at Wonton City) were flying toward the small. defenselss town. The citizens were blissfully unaware that the home they had made for themselves would soon be their enemies' nests.

At 10:47 AM, the flock amassed over the skies of Fireface, causing the sun to be completely blocked out. Shortly after, the Alliance members dove in and began to peck and claw down the humans. The attack in the main square lasted 13 minutes, and at that point over 500 women and children were killed. Nearby, a news crew was shooting pictures for a newspaper editorial. Their convenient location allowed them to see the great atrocities the birds had begun to commit. The Crows began to eat the children and molest or rape the women. By 11:03 AM, the army was called in. At the same time, a force of militia filed into the streets to meet their adversaries. Within fifteen minutes, 15 birds had been killed while 1078 human rioters were mowed down by the sharp talons and bills of the Crows.

At 11:31 AM, the remaining 806 men, women, and children fled the city. The crows mercilessly hunted them down. By 11:42 AM, all the citizens of Fireface had been slaughtered by the Alliance. It wasn't until 12:13 PM that the army arrived with a contingent of Bear Cavalry. The cavalry was 3000 strong, 1500 men and 1500 bears. They charged into Fireface and began to shoot down crows and pigeons alike. However, the forces of the Alliance were too strong, and only 28 crows and 21 pigeons were killed.

Aftermath:
Even though the humans eventually won the wore, the Battle of Fireface still had loud repercussions. To this day, the land remains abandoned and unused, save the statue of a famous photograph (pictured) of a young boy being murdered by a pigeon. Not shown, thankfully, is the following desecration of the boy's corpse.
