The battle
After the Leazas Liberation Force captured the town of Red, the next Helman holding is the town of The O, 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 demon 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 Toma 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 Sebia of the Helman forces. Then S. Commander Rance personally interrogated Captain Sebia, via some treaty-violating methods, for information on General Toma'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 destroyed during the battle. Masou Shizuka was M.I.A., though later returned safely.

The Helman Third Army was almost ruined, only a few hundred soldiers retreated with General Toma to Oc. The only other notable Helman survivor of this battle was Minerva.
