Like a colony of ants, the combined Solusian forces and the rebel faction worked together to fortify their positions south of Nexus. A few blocks away from the newly dug trenches, the rebels blockaded possible entry points, while the Solusian musketeers occupied the nearby structures, allowing them to shoot the enemies from the windows. The roof decks of the few stone houses nearby provided the marksmen with a high and comfortable place to shoot enemies.
