The Brown Army did not start revolting just because of the rain.
Perhaps the Frenzy Rain had provoked the militia into joining the revolution, destroying the city, and killing innocent civilians.
However, the leaders and the army of the Brown Rebels must have been planning for it for a long time.
Their attempt to kidnap Sancha, the daughter of an important official tied to the Federation's economy, was obviously part of their preparations for the war.
The Brown Army had come prepared. The Federation's army might seem huge, but the number of soldiers it could gather in such a short time was limited.
Even if they managed to reclaim Banlo City, could they really defeat the Brown Army at the Scorching River?
The Brown Army had obviously taken Half-Ridge Mountain City as their base. They had crossed the Scorching River to invade Banlo City.
