Ivan Muller led the Black Gold Operatives in repelling the assault by the Militants, though his own side suffered considerable casualties in the process. Fortunately, the ultimate outcome was favorable: Ivan Muller not only secured a generous supply of ammunition but also acquired a wide variety of weapons and equipment.
These arms came at the exact right moment to allow him to upgrade the defense forces across the Northern Mountains once again. He distributed the slightly lower-grade equipment to the operatives throughout the Northern Mountains while keeping the better gear for himself, his second-in-command, and the Black Gold Operatives stationed at the three key locations of the Northridge Hotel Observation Deck, the Cable Car Station, and the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Just as Ivan Muller finished making these arrangements, he received an urgent communication from a scout. Intelligence indicated that the Militants were gathering a stronger force to launch a massive offensive.
