General Damon orders the deployment of Gallian militia to Fouzen out of irritation at their growing popularity with the Gallian people and their success against the Imperials. While some of the Gallian Militia tanks attack Fouzen as a diversion, Welkin and Faldio lead their units in civilian clothes in order to covertly make contact with a Darcsen resistance group led by Zaka. After arriving in Fouzen, Rosie has issues with the Darcsen people because of her personal history. Zaka tells Rosie that he and his fellow Darcsens have long since become used to anti-Darcsen discrimination. Welkin, Faldio and Zaka proceed to make preparations to destroy General Gregor's armored train known as the "Equus", while simultaneously attacking the local Imperial headquarters and the Darcsen concentration camp.
