The fighting in New Gehran lasted for several long hours. The mercenaries and the rebels refused to back down, fighting for what they believed in until the very end. However, with the governor captured and Jarvis's death announced, the rebels' morale shot through the roof.
As for the mercenaries, they were slowly but steadily overwhelmed.
After all, the mercenaries were up against the people of the region. The rebels might have been weak, poorly trained, and exhausted, but their numbers were ten times greater than the mercenaries who had terrorized them for so long.
Some mercenaries eventually surrendered after their major leaders were captured. Others fought until they dropped dead.
Naturally, the battle should have lasted much longer.
A war ending overnight was almost impossible.
