The Siege of Burmecia in Final Fantasy IX was a part of Queen Brahne's campaign against the nations of the entire Mist Continent.
Battle
Edit
Having acquired a Black Mage army from Kuja, Brahne initiated her plans of conquering the continent. The army of mages took two routes through North Gate and Gizamaluke's Grotto, attacking any Burmecians stationed along those ways. When the army attacked the city-state of Burmecia, the Burmecians were taken completely by surprise. Though soldiers were tasked with defense, they were no match for the Black Mages' magical abilities. The mages soon broke through defenses and proceeded to attack the town, killing many citizens and soldiers alike.
Aftermath
Edit
A message had been sent to Regent Cid Fabool, requesting reinforcements from Lindblum. However the messenger was fatally wounded during the battle and was late in giving the message to the regent. Having heard of the news, Zidane, Freya, Vivi and later Quina travel to Burmecia to assist in the war effort. When arriving at the city they find it in ruins, as the Black Mages have already defeated the Burmecian Army. Many of the survivors, including the king, had fled to Cleyra to escape the destruction.
