Line 100: Now past the still-passive Guards, the Eagles descended on the Capellan militia, easily forcing the conventional forces into retreat. It was during this rout that Bavara received her orders, instructing her to "aid the brave Capellan defenders trying to push off the Davion scourge." Thus she turned to aid the Capellan forces she had been sent to destroy. The Eagles were about to enter downtown Carosasha when pickets reported Guards forces advancing through the forests to the Guards' rear. Hokala ordered First and Second Battalion to meet the new threat while Third stayed in the city. First and Second could not intercept the Guards before they overran the Eagle's rear supply caches and command and control equipment. Scattered Capellan militia forces hiding in the woods likewise joined into the foray against the Eagles. To avoid being cut off and surrounded, Hokala ordered all Eagle forces to break contact and reposition out of the city to the North.
