Standoff in Silvat Town

The Battle of Silvat was one of the longest battles of the Anean Continental War.

The Battle
The date the battle began is unkown, but it started soon after the war began. The battle ended on February 7, 2016.

Soon after the Federal Republic of Estovakia invaded the Republic of Emmeria, the city of Silvat came under attack. The Emmerian defenders didn't retreat, and the Estovakians placed Silvat under siege. The Estovakian Army surrounded Silvat and made attacks from all directions. North of the city, at its substation, Sherpa Signal Battalion was under fire. The city's other defenders from the Republic of Emmeria Army were made up of Barracuda Armored Battalion, Gavial Tank Battalion, Grizzly Tank Battalion, and Dragon Busters Battalion. The city's airfield was defended by the REAF's 5th Fighter Squadron, an A-10 attack squadron. The Estovakians deployed tanks of their own, as well as two guntrains. Members of the Strigon Squadron also made an appearance.

The battle seemed to be going in Estovakia's favor. Even though the Emmerians were holding them back, they were taking heavy hits and defeat got closer every day. However, things turned around in an instant on February 7 when the REAF's 28th Fighter Squadron Garuda arrived to provide back-up. In a short amount of time, the Estovakian forces were crushed, and began to retreat. However, the Estovakian forces were completely wiped out, including the Strigon Team members in the area.
