We see 10 hollows, affiliated with the West, wandering around in an open area.
One of them speaks.
"Hey there's rumuors that an adjuchas is leading the rebellion here."
The other replies
"We have adjuchas of our own, he'll be dealt with in a week or so!"
Suddenly a sharpened branch, was thrown at high speeds, pierced a hollow in the neck in front of the 2 talking hollows, killing the hollow.
9 are left.
They all readied their guard in response to the attack.
Another branch hits a hollow.
Another one.....
2.....
3.....
And 4 have been hit by sharpened branches, leaving only 5 hollows to fend for themselves.
A hollow in the group, full of fear, exclaimed.
"You guys can deal with that! Im OUT!"
The hollow goes deep into the trees, never to be seen ever again.
The 4 hollows stucked together.
A sharpened branch coming at them at high speeds but it was quickly parried.
Branches were kept being thrown at all sides, a good portion missed and were parried but a few branches were able to pierce them and weaken them.
Eventually the hollows dropped dead.
Guerra and his hollows came out of hiding.
He says.
"Good work, everyone, but we wasted too much branches when there were only 4 left. Need more strength and accuracy training."
Guerra arrives at the entrance of their hideout to see 5 Gillians and a hollow affiliated with him at their side.
The hollow next to the Gillians approaches Guerra.
"My Lord! I have news. After 4 days of journeying throughout the North. As you can see, I have brought 5 Gillians, it was way harder than i thought but I prevailed."
Guerra, pleased, and responds.
"Hmmmm. Good work, each company gets 1 Gillian. Distribute them."
"Ofcourse...."
Guerra goes in to their hideout and entered a room of consisting of a table with a map and his high ranking officials.
An adjuchas named "Ignacio", with the title of comandante says.
"Ah! Welcome my Lord. We were just planning on our next attack."
The comandante points to a small village on the map.
"According to trusted sources in the area. The head of the village is an Adjuchas, this village is the most isolated one out of all in the area, guards there will not be receiving any reinforcements as it's too dense into the forest. But.... They know about this weakness and placed more guards than average. The expected amount is..... 250 at least. A dangerous number if you're willing to keep your policy of no deaths to our men. But the benefits of winning this battle are very rewarding as it has the most amount of Southern supporters out of all the villages."
Guerra weighs his options.
He thinks for 1 minute, soon enough. He smirks and says.
"Yes.
"Oh. Also smuggle spies into the village with the mission to warn the locals of our attack. I don't wanna risk them dying and losing support in the process."
The comandante replied.
"I will, my Lord."
A few days later. We cut to the isolated village subjugated by the Western territories.
We see the village being run through violence.
The structures of the houses still remained unrepaired even after weeks have passed by.
Hollows being executed for being wrongly accused of siding with the South.
Menos Grandes, commanded by a village chief, affiliated with the West, roam the village freely causing havoc.
We cut to one of the Gillians roaming around, until a giant sharpened piece of silvery wood coming from the trees is hurled towards it at high speeds. It hits, killing the Gillian instantly.
All the other Gillians meet the same fate and gets killed by giant sharpened pieces of silvery wood.
Each Gillian falls hard on the ground shaking the ground.
The Western affiliated hollows rush to each of the fallen Gillians around the area.
We cut to a group of Western hollows investigating on one of the scenes.
The Gillian at this point has disintegrated and all that was left was the giant white branch that killed it, stabbing the ground.
One of them says.
"How did this branch get here?"
"Whatever it is.... It's done by a group.... Wai-"
Before the hollow could speak a read beam, a cero, came right at them. Immediately killing the group.
The other hollows that investigated their respective areas also met the same fate.
All of them were ambushed by Gillians from the rebellion and were decimated.
The anti insurgency force in the village quickly started to mobilize their forces.
All of this chaos has alerted the adjuchas who was in charge of the village.
He leaves his living quarters and witnesses the chaos.
He grabs a hollow that's moving into defensive positions and asks.
"What the hell is happening?!"
The hollow replies.
"We are being attacked!"
It quickly runs off.
Suddenly. A big orange cero blows up the head's living quarters.
As the dust clears, Guerra comes out.
The adjuchas asks angrily.
"Who are YOU?!"
Guerra stays silent.
The adjuchas uses its Sonido and goes in front of Guerra planning to land a heavy punch.
Guerra grabs his arm and began to violently hit the adjuchas with punches in its face, cracking its mask.
The adjuchas gets dizzy and weakened from the punches.
The adjuchas still being grabbed and looking at the ground, speaks as it prepares a cero.
"Don't underestimate ME! I'm the strongest in this village!"
It looks up with a ball of energy near it's mouth, it was too late. Guerra has already prepared a cero beforehand and releases it at point blank.
The adjuchas was turned into dust leaving only his feet and the arm Guerra grabbed.
Guerra threw his arm then replies coldly.
"I thought you'd be stronger."
And starts walking off.
The hollows attempted to take down the Gillians but were quickly dealt with their stomps.
The Gillians immediately retreated into the forest as more and more hollows appeared on their seperate locations.
A hollow that just recently arrived, arrogantly shouts.
"That's right! You guys better run!"
The hollows in the area began to scream as a celebration. But it was short lived.
Hundreds of Sharpened branches began to fly over them, covering the entire village.
In a panic. All of them started to retreat to living quarters to seem protection fron the branches, but they were too far and too late.
The branches started to kill every single one of them. Noone outside was safe.
Guerra was hiding within the large trees, able to spectate without risking getting hit by the branches.
The village is now filled with hollows fading away from the damge they have taken from being impaled and other branches that missed.
The hollows that are part of the rebellion began to come out of the woods.
To communicate with the locals that the rule of the West is over in the village. Ingracio began to yell in the streets.
"We are the rebellion! You are now all safe from the tyranny of Sylvian!"
All the villagers come out and they celebrate loudly as they realize that they are free.
A few men from the rebellion were assigned to rebuild the village while most have been diverted for another attack on a different village.
Days after, another village was attacked without sustaining any casualties.
They invaded another different village successfully, but at the cost of gaining infamy among the hollows of the Forest. (some western hollows survived the attack and lived to tell the tale.)
The rebellion was able to recruit hollows. Effectively making the number of hollows available for the rebellion to be 800 exactly. (others were allocated to gather resources, rebuild villages and guard the villages captured, making the actual number to be 1345 total rebellion members, other villagers decided to take advantage of the safety the rebellion imposed and decided not to fight.)
With this incredible amount of new manpower. Guerra sets a new goal in mind.
The next goal.... The capital.
