The Battle of Corvalon was an engagement in the War in Jalaur River. It occurred on January 20 - 22, 2024, on the riverbanks following the Battle of Riverdale. The security forces of the Principality of Norgain planned their advance towards the Corvalon Islands, a territory of the Province of Galrea, a claim of Arlandica in Jalaur River. King Jerold I authorized General Jay Arce to deploy and instruct the personnel in the area to defend it. Norgain did not advance according to their plan due to the presence of the Civil Guard in the area.

Battle

Following the annexation of the eastern portion of island territories by Norgain, which are claimed by Curimae, Hesminia, Ravenia, Vista, Vethony, and Zhao, General Jay Arce received reports that Norgain's forces led by Prince Nico might advance towards the west. Therefore, in the evening of January 20, 2024, authorized by King Jerold I, General Arce deployed personnel in the area to defend it. The personnel came from the Overseas Security Unit, commanded by Lieutenant General Zoe Bernardino.

Emperor Xiaen sent his official to observe the situation in the area and conduct a survey of the Corvalon Islands. Two men guarded the road entrance near the riverbanks close to Norgain positions. Later, Arlandican forces, with the help of the Hesminian Home Guard, began approaching the Norgain positions, and the fight started. Both sides exchanged fire using improvised weapons, including throwing stones. The exchanges lasted for two hours. In the afternoon of January 21, the exchanges of fire continued between the two sides. The next day, Norgain forces retreated.

Aftermath

As a result of the engagement, Norgain refrained from further advancing towards the western portion of Jalaur River island territories, where Arlandica's claims are located, due to the presence of the Civil Guard.

The counteroffensive was launched on January 24 by the forces of Arlandica, Begley Commonwealth, and Hesminia to liberate all territories captured by Norgain. However, on the same day, Norgain officially surrendered.
