"FIRE! FIRE! THE FARMS ARE BURNING IN THE NORTH! THE ENEMY IS CLOSER THAN WE EXPECTED!"

The gates of the Lei Forward Outpost slide open. Thousands of troops begin to flood out of the colossal gates of Lei. The troops sprint to the battleground in hopes of catching the Po army with their backs turned. No such luck. The Lei soldiers reach the first farm house, ablaze. The word "FIRE!" cuts through the air and the Lei soldiers' fate is now sealed. Your bowman rain down a volley of arrows onto the unsuspecting Lei infantry. Many soldiers scramble and attempt to escape the barrage of arrows but are quickly cut down by Po swordsmen. The Lei army is now surrounded with no chance of escape.

. . . .
As this goes on, trouble begins to brew at the Lei gates.
. . . .

The second squadron attacks the forward outpost directly. Without as many soldiers the Lei find it hard to hold off the attack. You have the advantage. The remaining Lei soldiers had not expected an attack by Po troops so soon. The end result is an upsetting victory over the Lei. The Lei Forward Outpost has been captured! You command your troops to take down Lei flags and put up Po flags around the base. With only a few hundred for total casualties, this was a successful charge and an important one in the fight against Lei. One more step in the right direction to conquering Lei. Now the battle must be taken to the gates of Lei. Next stop is the Dezla plains and Lei's capital city Singjo.
