On April 20, 2020, [[Navaja]] warriors and hunters sent hunting parties a mile into [[Creeperopolis|Creeperian]] territory, specifically the department of [[San Juan (department)|San Juan]] along the [[Creeperopolis|Creeperian]]-[[Sequoyah|Sequoyan]] border. The scouts were in search of furs to sell, likely to [[Cheyall]] traders along the [[Mary River]]. The [[Navaja]] scouts were scared off by warning shots fired by the [[Deltinian Liberation Army]], a jihadist separatist organization fighting the Creeperian government in the [[Deltinian Insurgency]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38232454|title=Navaja Send a Hunting Party into Deltino|date=April 20, 2020}}</ref>

Due to the [[Navaja]] entering [[Deltinian Liberation Army]] held territory, the [[Deltinian Liberation Army]] began to launch a 40 man expedition into northern [[Sequoyah]] to track down the [[Navaja]] hunters to kill all of them. The [[Deltinian Liberation Army]] also planned to rape and kill any and all civilians found for violating their religious beliefs and burn all villages. The [[Deltinian Liberation Army]]'s soldiers were each armed with [[Figueroa-24 Tipo-1948]]s and were transported by 2 stolen civilian pickup trucks. They were also armed with 4 [[Figueroa 918 Tipo-1984]]s and 2 [[Figueroa-17 Tipo-1999]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38243744|title=Deltinians Launch an Invasion of Sequoyah|date=April 21, 2020}}</ref>

The area surrounding the northernmost part of the [[Mary River]] was populated by several small villages of around 100-1,000 trappers and traders. The hunting party originated in the village of [[Flying Canyon]] with a population of around 600 at the northernmost tip of the [[Mary River]], only 30 miles or so south of [[San Juan (department)|San Juan]]. As [[Navaja]] scouts began to report the [[Deltinian Liberation Army]] trucks approaching the village, 70 warriors were sent to the forests to attack the trucks using hit and run tactics, utilizing tomahawks and throwing spears to do as much damage as possible. They were trained in stealth and hunting.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38244053|title=Navaja Prepare for Battle|date=April 21, 2020}}</ref>

The [[Deltinian Liberation Army]] expedition arrived at a forest covered hill near the village and began to pray that their attack be successful in eliminating the entire population. Four soldiers stood on guard on the side of the hill facing the village, each armed with a [[Figueroa-24 Tipo-1948]]. Another soldier was on standby with a [[Figueroa-17 Tipo-1999]] sniper rifle.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38254593|title=Deltinians Pray and Prepare for Battle|date=April 21, 2020}}</ref>

While the [[Deltinians]] were praying, 10 Navaja warriors approached and hurled 7 tomahawks at the [[Deltinian Liberation Army]] soldiers praying. They took cover among rocks surrounding the hill while the remaining 60 warriors took up positions with their spears surrounding the village. One villager took a horse and rode south to the camp of Chief [[Phillipe Warhorse]] and warned him of the attack.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38254774|title=Navaja Attack the Praying Deltinians|date=April 21, 2020}}</ref> One of the tomahawks killed a Deltinian kneeling on the ground while two more tomahawks injured two more kneeling, rendering them out of combat capability. The soldiers scattered to grab their weapons while four attempted to save the two injured jihadists.

While the [[Deltinian Liberation Army]] soldiers on the hill scattered, another round of 10 tomahawks was thrown at the group aimed for those attempting to help the injured. They uttered war cries and emerged from their positions and attempted to charge the hill with their spears. Near the village, 20 of the villagers on guard ran towards the approaching [[Deltinian Liberation Army]] soldiers using their spears. The villagers took cover in their huts with the 40 remaining warriors guarding several huts near the center of the village.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38255170|title=Navaja Continue Attacking|date=April 21, 2020}}</ref> All but one of the soldiers tending to the wounded were hit, killing 2 more.

The two snipers turned the pickup truck into a technical using the sniper rifles, ready to defend against the natives. The 4 charging the city open fire on the natives.

The two snipers were incapacitated and killed by the spears as they could not get a scope on the spearmen in time. A soldier entered the pickup and prepared to detonate the VBIED as the natives approached. The soldiers continued to fire into the trees, unable to see most of the natives.

On a small hill only a few yards from the Creeperian-Sequoyah border, Navajo warriors nailed their [[Deltinian Liberation Army]] captives to uneven pieces of wood. They hoped to send a signal to the [[Deltinian Liberation Army]] to keep them from ever again making an incursion into [[Navaja]] territory.

The Battle of Flying Canyon (Navaja: Da-ah-hi-dzi-tsio of Ndaata Tsekooh, Deltinian: معركة الطائر الوادي, Sequoyan: 𐐒𐐰𐐻𐐲𐑊 𐐲𐑂 𐑁𐑊𐐴𐐮𐑍 𐐿𐐰𐑌𐐷𐐲𐑌, Creeperian: Batalla del Cañón Volado) was a battle which occurred on 21 March 2020, between forces of the Deltinian Liberation Army and the Navaja tribe of Sequoyah along the Creeperian-Sequoyan border.

Background

Hunting Party

On March 20, 2020, Navaja warriors and hunters sent hunting parties a mile into Creeperian territory, specifically the department of San Juan along the Creeperian-Sequoyan border. The scouts were in search of furs to sell, likely to Cheyall traders along the Mary River. The Navaja scouts were scared off by warning shots fired by the Deltinian Liberation Army, a jihadist separatist organization fighting the Creeperian government in the Deltinian Insurgency.[3]

Preparing for Battle

Due to the Navaja entering Deltinian Liberation Army held territory, the Deltinian Liberation Army began to launch a 40 man expedition into northern Sequoyah to track down the Navaja hunters to kill all of them. The Deltinian Liberation Army also planned to rape and kill any and all civilians found for violating their religious beliefs and burn all villages. The Deltinian Liberation Army's soldiers were each armed with Figueroa-24s and were transported by 2 stolen civilian pickup trucks. They were also armed with 4 Figueroa 918 Tipo-1984s and 2 Figueroa-17 Tipo-1999s.[4]

The area surrounding the northernmost part of the Mary River was populated by several small villages of around 100-1,000 trappers and traders. The hunting party originated in the village of Flying Canyon with a population of around 600 at the northernmost tip of the Mary River, only 30 miles or so south of San Juan. As Navaja scouts began to report the Deltinian Liberation Army trucks approaching the village, 70 warriors were sent to the forests to attack the trucks using hit and run tactics, utilizing tomahawks and throwing spears to do as much damage as possible. They were trained in stealth and hunting.[5]

Battle

The Deltinian Liberation Army expedition arrived at a forest covered hill near the village and began to pray that their attack be successful in eliminating the entire population. Four soldiers stood on guard on the side of the hill facing the village, each armed with a Figueroa-24. Another soldier was on standby with a Figueroa-17 Tipo-1999 sniper rifle.[6]

While the Deltinians were praying, 10 Navaja warriors approached and hurled 7 tomahawks at the Deltinian Liberation Army soldiers praying. They took cover among rocks surrounding the hill while the remaining 60 warriors took up positions with their spears surrounding the village. One villager took a horse and rode south to the camp of Chief Kilchii Sike and warned him of the attack.[7] One of the tomahawks killed a Deltinian kneeling on the ground while two more tomahawks injured two more kneeling, rendering them out of combat capability. The soldiers scattered to grab their weapons while four attempted to save the two injured jihadists. Those on guard near the village began to rush towards the village to kill as many as possible before more soldiers arrive. The sniper attempted to find natives to snipe but can't find any since they are hidden well.[8]

While the Deltinian Liberation Army soldiers on the hill scattered, another round of 10 tomahawks was thrown at the group aimed for those attempting to help the injured. They uttered war cries and emerged from their positions and attempted to charge the hill with their spears. Near the village, 20 of the villagers on guard ran towards the approaching Deltinian Liberation Army soldiers using their spears. The villagers took cover in their huts with the 40 remaining warriors guarding several huts near the center of the village.[9] All but one of the soldiers tending to the wounded were hit, killing 2 more. The one who was not hit entered one of the pickup trucks and abandoned the entire force, effectively stranding half of the group. Six Figueroa-24s were abandoned. The soldiers grabbed their weapons and began to attempt to organize around the last remaining pickup truck. The two snipers turned the pickup truck into a technical using the sniper rifles, ready to defend against the natives. The 4 charging the city open fire on the natives. One of the Figueroa 918 Tipo-1984s was launched at the village by a jihadist.[10] The spearmen charging the 4 soldiers attacking the city were largely cut down. The 11 spearmen got their spears and attacked the soldiers near the city with their spears. The RPG round hit a hut in the village, exploding and starting a fire that began to spread through the wooden huts. At the barricaded pickup truck, 10 native warriors began throwing tomahawks at the snipers, taking covered positions in the trees.[11]

The two snipers were incapacitated and killed by the spears as they could not get a scope on the spearmen in time. A soldier entered the pickup and prepared to detonate the VBIED as the natives approached. The soldiers continued to fire into the trees, unable to see most of the natives. Meanwhile, the four charging the village were all injured and surrendered.[12] One warrior is injured by the sniper firing into the trees. The fires spread to two more huts with the inhabitants fleeing. The 10 natives took their spears and rush the truck. Two warriors took the Deltinian Liberation Army prisoners and bound them together under their guard.[13] When the natives got close to the truck, the VBIED was detonated, killing every single Deltinian soldier in the area. The Navaja charging the truck were killed.[14]

Aftermath

In total, 32 Deltinians were killed, 7 Deltinians were taken as prisoners of war, and 1 Deltinian deserted. Most weapons were destroyed in the explosion. The only weapons captured were the 4 Figueroa-24s on the 4 surrendered soldiers, the 7 abandoned Figueroa-24s with the three wounded survivors, and a damaged Figueroa 918 Tipo-1984 which was thrown away from the explosion. Meanwhile, 38 Warriors were killed, with 11 injured. Another 15 civilians were also killed.[15][16] The captured weapons were brought to Kilchii Sike who was outraged by the attacks and demanded that the Deltinian prisoners be crucified on the Deltinian border to ward off any further attacks.

Executions

On a small hill only a few yards from the Creeperian-Sequoyah border, Navajo warriors nailed their Deltinian Liberation Army captives to uneven pieces of wood. They hoped to send a signal to the Deltinian Liberation Army to keep them from ever again making an incursion into Navaja territory. The crosses of the men remained under guard by 20 warriors to ensure the Deltinian Liberation Army made no attempt to free them.[17]

Reactions

Creeperopolis

The Creeperian government openly congratulate the Navaja on their victory against the Deltinian Liberation Army, stating that they bravely fought off forces of the devil from Sequoyah, a Creeperian ally. Bombings of Deltinian Liberation Army controlled territory in Nuevo San Juan intensified due to the battle and the Deltinian defeat.[18]

Deltinian Liberation Army

The Deltinian Liberation Army declared war on the Navaja for openly attacking and slaughtering innocent Deltinian refugees seeking shelter from the genocide ongoing in Creeperopolis against Muslims and Deltinians. Hasan el-Ahsan called for the immediate beheading of Kilchii Sike. Hasan el-Ahsan openly called for Greater Sacramento, a fellow Muslim country, to write:

1. A TCN Resolution condemning the nation of Sequoyah for attacking innocent Deltinian refugees 2. A TCN Resolution condemning Sequoyah for violating TCN Resolution 010 3. A TCN Resolution giving the Emirate of Deltino member status in the Terraconserva Council of Nations 4. A TCN Resolution condemning Creeperopolis for initiating a genocide of Deltinian Muslims, forcing an Aurebeshia led investigation into the genocide, and revoking the membership of Creeperopolis from the TCN.

He called on Greater Sacramento to declare jihad on Creeperopolis to reestablish Emirate of Deltino as the sole leader of the Southern Landmass and to create Islamic cooperation.[19]

FALANGE

The Anti-Deltinian Armed Forces of Liberation - War of Elimination (FALANGE) congratulates the Navaja on their victory and assure the Navaja that the genocide will be completed.[20]

Navaja

Kilchii Sike offered thanks for the congratulations and remarked that he hoped the world would now recognize the ability of his nation and his warriors, as well as the value of traditional ways of living and combat.[21]

Sequoyah

President Cheasequah Waya made several grudging remarks today to the Fremont Expositor.[22]

"The Navaja's actions were commendable. However, now we realize that modern tactics and weapons are ineffective against this tribe. Thus, our nation will continue to train the majority of its military in our traditional weapons. I also remind our allies that although the Navaja destroyed an enemy to both of our nations, they remain a dangerous force in Sequoyah, and I advise our allies to avoid encouraging their violent actions."

Notes

  1. The Deltinian Liberation Army had 32 killed in action, 7 captured, and 1 deserter. The 7 who were captured were crucified on 22 March 2020.
