"The rebel organization incited the workers at Mine No. 7. They've blown up the mine, attacked our stationed soldiers, and are now engaging with our reinforcements..."
On the other end of the phone, one could faintly hear the crackling of gunfire, occasionally accompanied by explosions. The caller to the Governor was the Captain in charge of Mine No. 7. His face was ashen, and there were bloodstains on his temple.
The Gafura people are arrogant. They disdain and refuse to live with the lowly defeated ones, hence they have their separate courtyard. This very courtyard is what saved the Army Captain from perishing like others and allowed him to call the Governor.
Both he and the Governor realized the immense trouble at hand. Losing the mine, or the mine being blown up, and the death of some Empire soldiers did not actually matter to him.
