You see, there were still some three hundred lingering members of the plotting movement in the capital, who were so convinced that we were a threat to national security that, even after the second imperial edict permitting us the use of force in defending ourselves and our success in self-defense against mobs whipped up by the government against the empire’s subversive enemy, they still persisted in their plan to try and eliminate us right from the heart of the empire.
So we defended ourselves a second day, and neutralized our attackers.
And we took no spoils because that’s not why we fought.
