The battle ended as quickly as it started. Yet despite its short span, twenty of the rebel attackers were captured and eight others died as a result.
As the overwhelming difference in strength was made apparent, the other side no longer continued to retaliate.
Soon after the place was crowded by local civilians, but knowing that some of these rebels were hiding among the crowd, Emery had to stay alert.
It took about 10 minutes for the Nexus security team to arrive with their vehicles and take all the captive rebels into custody.
With a high probability of the ex-marshal being involved in the attack, Shane was also asked to join in for questioning and he had been cooperative ever since.
The group headed towards the closest Nexus post about 50 miles from the settlement. Unfortunately, after hours of interrogation, none of the twenty captive rebels had yet to give any useful information.
