Burning of Valley City

{{quote|Today, a brutal and vicious attack has been carried out by the Union on our people! Since they dare not face us on the battlefield they try to bring terror and mayhem to our civilians! The great city of Valley City, a jewel in the crown of the Republic of Valand, has been reduced to ashes by the arsonists of the Union's 22nd Army Corps, not only have they looted civilians homes and burnt them to the ground, along with the churches, hospitals, schools and the like they have also been seen exterminating the civilian populace, there are reports that they have even crushed innocent civilians to death under the feet of their walkers! Outnumbered more or less two to one by the enemy were the brave volunteers of the 66th Volunteer Division, who gave it their all to save their city, they died to the last, though not before heavily damaging the enemy offensive, right now our army is on its way to meet what remains of the Union army, and bring them to justice!

The Burning of Valley Town was a battle in which the 22nd Army Group of the Union of Earth States devastated the city of Valley City, a city located with the Confederate state the Republic of Valand, one of the states which bordered Union territory, the battle received wide condemnation of both sides, was considered a war crime, and exasperated the majority of Union citizens to the point that the Second Secessionist Crisis was exacerbated as more and more Union states seceded from the Union and joined the Confederacy at an increased rate.

The 22nd Army Group, though successful, took heavy damage during the battle from the 66th Confederate Volunteer Division, and was later defeated at Feldin's Field.
