A strange structure suddenly...

"Furuta! Put the machine gun over here. Azuma, rifles go there." Kuwabara assigned each soldier their designated Area of Responsibility.
The troopers braced themselves and their Type 64 rifles against the crenelated walls.
They would be firing down from a height of three stories. If the enemy drew close enough, they could start shooting arrows at them, so they designated the range of the bows as the FPL (final protective line), and apart from that, they could pick their ets at their own pace.
There was only an hour left until the sun was completely set. Kuribayashi distributed the night vision gear while Kurokawa was left to mind the vehicles and equipment.
Behind Itami and the others were a large number of citizens carrying farming tools or wooden clubs, waiting uneasily for directions. Just then, Nishina came, holding a phrasebook in one hand with both arms out, making digging motions, and indicating that they should fill the sacks they had with earth and bring them over.
The others were collecting burnable wood, in preparation for a bonfire. The townspeople wondered why they weren't making a fire at night as they worked.
Meanwhile, someone asked a question of Itami, who was looking through his helmet-mounted night vision gear with Tuka and Lelei.
"Eh? Why are we helping the Imperials who should be our enemy? Well, it's to protect the people of this town." Itami replied.
Rory laughed as she heard the answer. "Do you really mean that?"
"Yes, I do." Answered Itami.
Itami's attempt at humor made Rory shrug in a "stop kidding me" way.
To Itami, the Empire was his enemy. If they went by the reasoning of "The enemy of the enemy is my friend," it would not be strange to take the bandits as allies, but Itami did not do that.
Piña was an Imperial Princess defending Count Formal's family. Because of that, she had negotiated with Itami and asked for his help.
Rory was there too, but since she couldn't stand Pina's presence, she left shortly after.
Being the first city where the expedition force will come. It would be quite unpleasant if they had to rebuild it after they killed the bandits. It would be a waste of precious resources.
Officially, they could fight together because they had the same objective of defending Italica.
Even so, Rory still could not understand why Itami was taking orders from an enemy princess. After all, they should have expected that the south gate would become a forlorn hope and the site of a fierce battle.
The battle began when the night was almost over.
The attack was executed just before the sun rose.
In the darkness before dawn, the bandit archers launched flame arrows at the eastern gate.
