"Comrades! It has now been confirmed that we have been tricked... The raid for grain was a military ruse, and we are now surrounded by heavy forces. It was a major misjudgment on my part, Batis, during the intelligence gathering process. Due to my own fault, we find ourselves trapped, and I have failed all of you, my brothers. My life is not worth grieving over... But right now, hundreds of thousands of our compatriots are also within the siege... I plan to charge eastward, drawing enemy fire to create an opportunity for our families, the elderly and children, to evacuate. I need some brave warriors to stand by me. But this endeavor might leave us with no return..."
Leonard Churchill and Alice arrived at the gathering point in the city's central square just in time to witness this tragic speech by the leader, Batis.
The leader of the Rebellion Army did not hide the truth.
He even took all the blame upon himself.
