During the Sarria War, the Battle of Sintra was fought from 22 April – 5 May 1914 for control of the tactically important high ground to the east and north of the Sontre port city of Sintra. On the 22nd of April, Kasuum Alliance forces marked by Sontre and Noravian units began moving into Sintra to push out Gladysynthian imperial forces. Initially, the Kasuum Alliance made steady gains and secured much of the city's outskirts, but the battle turned vicious within the first week as Gladysynthian reinforcements and naval bombardment hammered the newly-entrenched defenders. Aerial attacks by Gladysynthia's newly developed airplanes, the first use of aircraft in warfare, intrinsically changed methods of fighting. By the end of the battle, Gladysynthia forces had withdrawn to a new line 3 miles further from the city, which due to being bombarded by artillery fire, was demolished. More than 45,000 soldiers died in the battle, making it the deadliest of the war.
