The battle
After the Leazas Liberation Force captured the town of Red, the next objective is the  town of  The O that Helman is holding, which is defended by Captain Gaiyas with only 2000 soldiers. Prince Patton ordered the entire Third Army to scramble to The O. At the same time, his Dark Lord allies happened to delay the commander of the Leazas Liberation Force, giving enough time for the Helman troops to assemble.

The Helman plan was a simple one - crush the resistence with overwhelming force. General Thoma camped his forces on the Terana High Plains, and planned to launch the attack against Red in the morning. However, Supreme Commander Rance of the Leazas Liberation Force employed a ninja to kidnap Captain Sepia of the Helman forces. Then S.Commander Rance personally interrogated Captain Sepia, via some treaty-violating methods, for information on General Thoma's plan. The Leazas Liberation Force then launched a surprise assault in the dead of the night against the Helman camp, catching Helman completely off guard.

The result
The Leazas Liberation Force suffered approximately 30% casualty, but captured the town of The O. Tulip #3 was damaged during the battle but could later be repaired. Masou Shizuka was M.I.A after an encounter with Dark Lord Ithere and managed to return safely.

The Helman 3rd Army was almost ruined, only a few hundred soldiers retreated with General Thoma to the town of Oc. The only other notable Helman survivor of this battle was Minerva Margaret.
