Baarya was another city torn by the war. Even before the first Quintelian missiles struck the buildings, it looked like every smote the city down to rubble. Nevertheless, Quintelia still tried to turn a hellhole into some sort of safeheaven for those escaping the grasps of the Muslim extremists by setting up tents and temporary shelter, establishing regular shipment deliveries from Quintelia, and rebuilding a important structures such as schools, hospitals and roads. The port that was heavily bombed was fully rebuilt to make the city connected to the outside world and not be outcast. Almost half of the soldiers that were deployed, and 102 corpses, were sent back and only a helicopter carrier and a frigate remain guarding off the coast. Of course, this humanitarian mission cost money and manpower, which is about $500 million, and 10,000 volunteer workers were sent.
As for Lieutenant Barriga, he is still marked as AWOL, but both a medal and a court martial awaits him at home. Though for now and for him, living with a nice family and helping them reconstruct their house is the best idea. Captain Empedrad was the first Quintelian to hear about el-Kamal's surrender, before he rallied the information to Minister of Defense, Ronald Bato Dela Rosa, and to his troops. Most of the members of the militia surrendered afterwards, with the good few stubborn ones being eliminated within a few weeks. Now, that Iv has arranged a meeting with the Vaguizans and the Achkaerinese, Commander Empedrad called Bato to come with him to the meeting. He then rode a helicopter to the city of Khyat.
The helicopter landed a few kilometers from the hotel, from there, Empedrad had to meet up with Bato. Then they rode to the hotel in a LAPV Enok, still wearing some protection. When they arrived, the two took of their helmets but not their vest. "Sir Sorya, pleasure to meet you. I am Ronald Bato, and this is COmmander Empedrad, he led the assault on Baarya." He introduced in a stern and stiff manner. He looked at the Vaguizan entourage and gave a nod someone from the Fort Bonifacio slums might give someone. Empedrad just stood quietly, knowing that he will be the one talking more than Bato later.
