The time rewound to the dead of night before dawn.
At the height of the intense battle between the Burning Corps and the Torch Remnants, a hundred kilometers away, in another abandoned section of the city, a battle rife with carnage was also reaching its ultimate crescendo.
Hundreds of "Conqueror" model 5 tanks and their infantry support had cut off all entrances from the ruins to the wilderness, effectively severing any possibility of the fungally mutated life forms within the Heavenly domain from reinforcing the city ruins.
Immediately after, tens of thousands of Weilante infantrymen and tens of thousands more clone soldiers launched an offensive from dozens of directions all at once, with artillery cover, to besiege those remaining from the Torch Church and the mutant tribe trapped within the ruins.
According to maps from the Era of Prosperity, this abandoned city area once belonged to a large city named Kuwata City, boasting a permanent population exceeding eight million.
