Synopsis
Fritz Joseph Bittenfeld receives a message from Willibald Joachim von Merkatz which indicated his desire to defect. Wary that the message may be a ruse, Bittenfeld organises a cautious fleet formation. Yang Wen-li takes advantage of the communication interference between both sides of the Iserlohn Corridor and tricks Ernest Mecklinger into withdrawing to the Imperial entrance of the corridor. The Black Lancers are lured into the corridor by Dusty Attemborough's squadron. Adalbert von Fahrenheit leads his fleet to aid Bittenfeld, planning to overwhelm the El Facil Revolutionary Reserve Force with superior numbers. The narrow geography of the corridor however forces the Imperial fleets to cluster together, and they ended up being completely surrounded by the EFRRF. Fahrenheit organises a breakthrough with his fleet and ultimately sacrifices himself to prevent the complete destruction of the two Imperial fleets.
