Chapter 60

Against the backdrop of the Sumner crisis, the Kamona region experienced a severe North-South split and the ravages of war. Devin Pan, a former Northern Front Navy lieutenant and executive officer of the destroyer Polaris, demonstrated remarkable leadership and tactical brilliance during the defense of Port. Not only did he lead his sailors in a tenacious defense against the Southern Front's offensives, but in the aftermath of the battle, he also emerged as the leader of the Port area, taking control of vital intelligence data and supplies. Devin Pan's story was fraught with twists and conflict. After the Northern Army withdrew from Guayapo, he refused to obey an order to scuttle the Polaris, leading his men to seize control of the vessel instead and establishing himself as the head of Port. This decision was not merely an act of defiance against a superior's command, but a defense of military honor. Under his leadership, the garrison successfully repelled the Southern Front's advances and safeguarded the security of Port. However, as the conflict dragged on, Militants began eyeing the resources and intelligence held within Port. Equipped with superior gear, they prepared to take over the area, posing a fresh challenge to Devin Pan and his forces. The actions of the Militants represented not only a struggle for control over Port, but a severe test of Devin Pan's leadership.
