The following day.
Before dawn had broken, the fully equipped Volunteer Army of the United Government set out on their expeditionary journey.
Citizens who had not enlisted also flocked to the streets, gathering to bid farewell to the gigantic war machines as they departed the city skies. This unprecedented spectacle filled their hearts with a rare sense of pride in being residents of the United Government.
By nightfall, this mighty Expeditionary Army would arrive at the outskirts of the Neutral Country. As the first contingent to reach the battlefield, they would launch a surprise attack on the Neutral Country from three different directions, alongside the Expeditionary forces from districts fourteen and twelve.
Drop pods would enable them to bypass the easily defended and hard to attack terrain, directly infiltrating into the city's interior.
This was a landing method fraught with considerable risk.
