The First Siege of Adeleux was a major battle of the South Terrifica War and the opening battle of the Vionna-Frankenlischian South Gallandia Campaign. The Vionna-Frankenlischian army of the Duke of Teutonberg, along with the Frankenlischian fleet under Admiral Lord Hilton, attacked the port town of Adeleux. In a three-day battle, the Vionna-Frankenlischian sailors, soldiers and marines captured the town with heavy urban fighting.

Background

The Gallandic Coastal Campaign prosecuted by Vionna-Frankenlisch's naval forces lasted six months. The effect of said campaign was heavy on Gallandic shipping and even involved the Capture of île-de-Beaumont which provided the Imperial Navy with a base near the Terrifican continent which remained Vionna-Frankenlischian until after the war. However, after a few months of incessant raiding, Gallandic resistance stiffened and Gallandic trade was able be rerouted over land. King Edward of Vionna-Frankenlisch, therefore, charged his forces with making a foothold on the Terrifican continent.
