Diehard members of the Constabulary begin counting the regiments and artillery pieces occupying Sonodine. They will embark by horse to return the message to Romek.
Citizens are restricted from leaving during the occupation. Any individuals who attempt to leave find will find themselves either shot down or imprisoned, and the rest of the civilian populace will be punished as well, with curfew instated, and food being confiscated and to be rationed back.
However, a few may be able to get through, but this will only infuriate the occupants more, and should they get out, will prompt reinforcements.
The more desperate the attempts, the more severe the punishments. Continued resistance will result in annexation.
Avalonian reporters request Conservatian and WDC permission to head to Sonodine to provide more up to date and accurate information on the war's happenings to the Avalonian people and government.
These reporters are permitted, but must be escorted by Conservatian soldiers to ensure no details are leaked.
