Colonel Brownie was a reckless fool. He arrived at Davaz Town with his Third Infantry Regiment at one a.m. with nearly two thousand men and over five hundred sidecars, the roaring engines still running, headlights on, and their weapons loaded and ready.
They were stopped by the guards at the town's entrance.
Usually, the guards wouldn't dare stop soldiers coming back from the battlefield, but due to the previous experience with the "Artillery Colonel," they braced themselves to confront this seemingly unfriendly troop.
As expected, both sides got into a quarrel. The noise alarmed the town's residents, who assumed the capitalists had sent troops to harm Shire in the middle of the night. Remarkably, the residents quickly formed a militia.
