Pillager War

The Pillager War is an ongoing conflict between the players of the Governments of Minecraft  and the The Republic of Illagers

Early days
In 2018 The I.A.F (Illager Armed Forces) set Mansion bases across Minecraft, Threatening any nearby players and Villagers. At this time, the I.A.F did not pose any threat, although there were on Minecraft soil. During this time, there were small skirmishes between the Militaries of Minecraft and the I.A.F. Many Mansion bases were destroyed and burned down, yet the President of the Illagers did not declare war due from trying to prevent being attacked on there own land.

A year later on, July 1st 2019, a new branch of service in the Republic of Illagers, opened up called the, The Pillagers. Standardized with a Crossbow class. Watch Tower bases were formed to prepare defensive attacks from the any troops from the Governments of Minecraft. On, July 4th 2019, The Republic of Illagers Military overthrew President Vindi for not Declaring war against the Governments of Minecraft.

On July 6th 2019, General Ilie, the new leader of the Republic of Illagers, did a surprise invasion on Minecraft soil, attacking multiple Villages, near by cities, and towns. It was by then they announced there declaration of war against the Governments of Minecraft.

During the war
By July 12 2019, The I.A.F had almost controlled a quarter of Minecraft, implementing Mansion bases and towers. Any Village, city or town that was captured by the I.A.F was either destroyed, people taken as prisoners, taken there Iron Golems and caged them, or even used them as a defensive base. On July 16 2019, The Governments of Minecraft were able to reiterate themselves, by gathering supplies, more weapons, and troops for there campaign.

Operation Re-take
On July 16th 2019, the Governments of Minecraft began a campaign called operation re-take, to take back the cities, villages, and towns the I.A.F took over in the attacks. The Governments of Minecraft would deploy their Armed Forces of all kinds to counter attack the I.A.F control sending them back to there land. This campaign would last 14 days. After sending the I.A.F back to there land and taking back the locations they lost, The Governments of Minecraft would be given permission to attack The Republic of Illagers land to take out Gerneral Ilie and his occupation of power.

Invasion of Illagers City
on July 29th 2019, The Governments of Minecraft managed to reach the the capital of the Republic of Illagers land. The only mission was to find and kill/capture General Ilie. After countless fighting General Ilie was found trying to escape and was caught by Whale Army Forces. He was later executed for his actions and his reputation was tarnished. After this the war was still going on, many of the leaders of The Governments of Minecraft were wondering why they kept going. Eventually the war got even worse than it was. I.A.F troops began scattering across Minecraft once again and started taking over Villages and some cities and many of them stayed defending there homeland. From this point on, The Governments of Minecraft had signed a order where those who served the Minecraft Armed Forces are to be deployed once a month and at least serve 3 months on this deployment. The Governments of Minecraft even allowed those who were mercenaries or bounty hunters to join the fight, all though there job would much tougher than those who are fighting in the actual Amred Forces.

2019-2020
During this time period, small arms fighting would occur here and there between the Amred Forces of Minecraft and The I.A.F. many of the Battles have been mostly leaving the I.A.F on the defense side of the war. Taking or re-taking back places from there control. The war slowed down during this time period, but sure enough afterwards, Hostile mobs in the snow region and the Plains, Desert and other biomes, would start helping the I.A.F. In the snow regions, The Stray Amred Forces would attack the villages main defenses such as taking out there Iron Golems and snow Golems. This would end up leaving the village helpless and a open opportunity for I.A.F Forces to sweep through. Minecraft troops would have to arrive quickly as they can to fend off the enemy raid. In the other biomes the Forces of The Undead, Would attack villages leaving a deadly infection going around killing villagers making them become zombies or even just dying. This in a way was helpful to the I.A.F as they will use the village as a defensive fortress.

2020-2021
During this time period a civil war had broken out in Nether after the a new evolution in the zombie Pigmen becoming a alive fully breathing talking Pigman. The old Nether Union collapsed leading new changes in the Nether giving a new living lifestyle in the way Pigmen live. The Nether Armed Forces offered a treaty to the Governments of Minecraft, but the Wither Skeletal Amred Forces did not like this. The entire Wither military branch broke away from the Nether Amred Forces and began to attack the Nether engaging a Civil War between the The Nether and the Wither Skeletal Amred Forces. The Governments of Minecraft would be given permission to go in the Nether and help the Nether Armed Forces as long as long as they wore something gold on them. This was a advantage to the I.A.F as they would use this to attack more places leaving some villages unable to defend themselves. The response to these attack would be slower than before. Eventually the Civil War in the Nether would become worse and worse making it very hard for the Governemnts of Minecraft to defend both the Nether and Minecraft.

2021-2022
New tactics from this war had began from this due from regime changes in the land. I.A.F troops started using tactics such as trenches and using underground mining shafts. Some I.A.F troops would start patrolling certain areas as if they were and full size army again. The Governments of Minecraft were some what able to stabilize themselves with helping the Nether, but they needed to bring things back to continue fighting the I.A.F.

2022-Ongoing
Deployments have tripled. More than 3 million Minecraft solders, Mercenaries, and Bounty hunters have been sent on deployments during this war. This war would be given the nick name "The Longest War" in Minecraft history. Many leaders of The Governments of Minecraft thought about reaching out to the leaders of The Republic of Illagers for a peace treaty but, have refused. Most of the Battles have now been on The Republic of Illagers land saving back villages they taken years ago and fighting off the last remaining battles on Minecraft soil.
