The decision to split the Army was extremely controversial both within the [[Levantia|Levantine]] press and among the tribal members of [[New Harren]], both of whom sought quick and decisive action to defeat Algoquona. [[Guillaume d'Agostino]], commander of the Royal and Confederate Army, believed that the Army was not yet in a posiiton to launch a decisive breakthrough, and doing so prematurely might lead in the fracturing of the Army due to the still-considerable defense the Algoquonans were capable of. Criticism also focused on the extremely sluggish pace of the campaign, given that the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] managed to functionally destroy the entire Algoquonan regular army over the course of approximately a month during the [[Tepetlcali Campaign]]. In an interview with the [[Levantine Times Union]], d'Agostino famously quipped that his critics "wanted Royal and Imperial Army results on an Algoquonan time table", referring to the lack of preparation his forces still had.

On April 13th, the bulk of the northward advancing "Forward Component" of the Royal and Confederate Army in addition to elements sent by both the Training and Scout Components encountered the majority of remaining [[Algoquona]]-aligned militias in the Four Neighbors area infront of the village of Harlaouga, a Gowandis settlement. In what analysts called the "first, modern, combined arms battle of the campaign", tribal unit infantry routed the militia forces following an advance by Levantine armor (primarily [[SAV-11]] tanks) and barrage by artillery. The victory at Harlaouga concluded the campaign by removing all Algoquona-aligned militia forces from the territory of the Four Neighbors. The battle also proved that the Royal and Confederate Army could fight a modern-style war, provided they had the equipment. The victory lead to further investment in the force by [[Urcea]].

One month after the victory at Harlaouga, on May 12 2022, the four neighbors declared independence from [[Algoquona]], establishing the [[Nysdra Provisional Republic]]. The Army would take up a defensive posture in south-central [[Algoquona]] in preparation for a later push on the Algosh heartland. During the campaign, the Royal and Confederate Army, which began the campaign with around 43,000 personnel, took moderately high casualties, with 2,582 killed and 8,401 wounded. The opposing force, estimated by Urcean intelligence to have been around 50,000 from the start of the campaign, took higher casualties, though precise figures were not available to Occidental intelligence services.
