Meanwhile in Bellnahgo...
They'd been sitting in their checkpoint for an entire day now.
When the Imperial forces surrendered, the Temple of Hardy had been converted into a command post for coalition forces due to it's central location in the city.
Construction had started immediately as the ruins of the temple were cleared and replaced by temporary structures to house coalition forces.
Dimitri and his squad had been assigned the task of guarding the northern checkpoint.
Bellnahgo was captured in less than a week, though the destruction would be visible for weeks at the very least.
Supplies were already being brought in to begin reconstruction of the city.
The citizens who had fled were allowed into the ruins where they helped begin the rebuilding process.
In some areas of the city, particularly the eastern part, Imperial resistance continued.
Several squads had been sent to clear out the city blocks, but it was a slow process requiring houses to be cleared one by one.
Dimitri was glad his squad didn't get assigned to that task.
It had quickly become evident that there weren't enough personnel in the city to completely quell resistance.
Due to this problem, command had ordered the creation of the Bellnahgo People's Militia.
The militia was to be recruited of locals, particularly those dissatisfied with the Empire such as slaves, and given the minimal training required to put down resistance.
Most of the militia would be using Saderan weaponry, with only a handful of trusted individuals allowed to carry firearms, AK-47's and M16's.
