A large detachment of mercenaries and paratroopers was surrounded. At the cost of huge losses, the soldiers managed to break into the Neutral Zone. Their fate depended on the decision of the Moresville Congress. In a difficult situation, Oles found the only right solution. Khrabrov offered the Tusconians a deal: the life of soldiers in exchange for two hundred years of freedom and independence of the Neutral Sector. Olivians were quite satisfied with this development of events. By this time, Olis flew to the planet as an adviser on the development of new territories. Under her pressure, the commander of the corps also accepted the conditions of the Russian. The feeling that erupted between Hrabrov and Crowle during the first expedition was further heightened after the separation. They declared their love and secretly met in a camp of earthlings.
