"Commander! We're surrounded!..", a horrific kind of scream resounded throughout Gamekh's welcome district as the battle between the revolutionaries and the Shogunate's forces intensified.
The combination of the original rebel army and its sympathizers converged onto the city's open grounds near the front gates. While the national government's garrison desperately held their ground in the middle, they attacked on all fronts. They were beginning to overwhelm Hayama's reinforcements.

The Fujiishima squadron commander stood calmly in the middle, thinking of his next plan of action. "No.. the second legion is protecting the civilians. We have to hold our own here."
"But commander! There's too many of them! We won't hold out for long!..", answered the soldier as he shot an arrow.
