[[Geddoe]] attempts to fight off [[Yuber]] and [[Sarah (Suikoden III)|Sarah]] as [[Hugo (Suikoden III)|Hugo]] deliberates on inheriting the [[True Fire Rune]]. Geddoe fights fiercely but, unable to use his [[True Lightning Rune]] in such a confined space, is eventually overwhelmed, only for Hugo to strike back using the True Fire Rune. Having failed in their mission, Yuber and Sarah retreat. Hugo collapses, overwhelmed by the rune's power and the visions it imparts. | [[Geddoe]] attempts to fight off [[Yuber]] and [[Sarah (Suikoden III)|Sarah]] as [[Hugo (Suikoden III)|Hugo]] deliberates on inheriting the [[True Fire Rune]].

Hugo awakes to Geddoe's wounds being treated by his 12th Unit colleagues. Geddoe then shares the story of his True Lightning Rune and his friendship with the [[Flame Champion]].

Geddoe then shares the story of his True Lightning Rune and his friendship with the [[Flame Champion]]. He almost imparts a dire warning to Hugo; the True Fire Rune appears to have a will of its own. | ||
As such, it will try and force its bearer to use it. If left to run amok, it would cause untold destruction. Geddoe tells Hugo that he must now accept the title of Flame Champion and then he will act as Hugo's rod and shield if need be. | |||
[[File:Lizard Clan begin their raid.png|220px|thumb|left|That owl is a spy!]]Meanwhile, in [[Chisha Village]] the Harmonian and Grassland armies are in a stalemate. The clan chiefs decide on a night attack on the Harmonian camp, much to the consternation of [[Caesar Silverberg]]. In the Harmonian camp, [[Franz]] tries to rally his comrades who were shaken by their previous encounter but fails. Even if they don't believe in the Flame Champion, they also don't believe they'll ever be accepted as Harmonians. | |||
The next day, Lucia demands a face-to-face meeting with Sasarai before battle. Sasarai offers to withdraw his forces and even sign a new treaty if the Flame Champion is handed over. Of course, Lucia refuses. The Grasslanders begin their attack but Sasarai's [[True Earth Rune]] is enough to deflect their efforts. Sasarai then withdraws, satisfied that the Flame Champion is not present. The Harmonian Army swiftly overwhelms the outnumbered Grassland forces. A full retreat is ordered; the Grassland forces will withdraw to [[Duck Clan]] lands. | The [[Lizard Clan]] begins their night raid but it is immediately apparent that the Harmonians have anticipated the attack. The Lizard Clan take great casualties under arrow fire before quickly retreating. [[Sasarai]] commends [[Albert Silverberg]] on his excellent strategy. | ||
Knowing it likely that the Harmonians will now attack at dawn, and with the failed raid having plummeted morale, [[Lucia]] announces that the Flame Champion will be returning eminently to Chisha Village, and they need merely hold out until then. | |||

In [[Vinay del Zexay]], the [[Zexen Council]] endlessly deliberate which side to take between Harmonia and the Grassland. [[Salome Harras]] acts passively but is in reality shoring up evidence of Harmonian collusion within the council. Speaking with his colleagues in the [[Zexen Knights]], he also stresses the necessity of allowing the Grasslanders to know defeat before possibly allying with them; they will not let go of their old grudges otherwise. | In [[Vinay del Zexay]], the [[Zexen Council]] endlessly deliberate which side to take between Harmonia and the Grassland.

* [[Salome Harras]]' audacious coup in [[Vinay del Zexay]] is mostly a manga invention. Though there are references to efforts to stymie Harmonian collaborationists in the game, the [[Zexen Council]] is mostly presented as a body too tied up in deliberation to make quick decisions, allowing the [[Zexen Knights]] to act independently. | * [[Salome Harras]]' audacious coup in [[Vinay del Zexay]] is mostly a manga invention.
