After a long and weary journey to Fashir, while battling with the Fur people along the way, Johnson was naturally frustrated to find that the East Africans had already seized the fruit of victory.
"Hm, enter the city! I must see what is going on, whether Alidinar's empty city strategy or if he has defected to the East Africans."
At this time, Johnson had not yet considered the possibility that Alidinar and his troops had been captured by East Africa, after all, it took him nearly two weeks to travel from Khartoum to Fashir, how could East Africans have possibly finished the battle so swiftly?
Therefore, Johnson presumed that Alidinar, the traitorous scoundrel, had defected to the East Africans, a situation quite common in colonial territories, where weak nations or regions might seek the support of other powers when threatened by one.
Thus, Johnson swaggered towards the city gates of Fashir with his Lobster Soldiers, Headscarf Soldiers, and High Hat Soldiers.
