Kenshin explains the situation to the cavalry. "They appear to be little more than bandits. I caught these stallions while on patrol, and found them all to be armed with chromes and blades. I am currently escorting them back to our camp so that they might be interrogated, and then brought to justice for their lawlessness. "
"Very well, you can hoof them over to us. You should head back to camp, I heard they are sending your lot out."

Wang investigates the church before he heads off. Stepping through the doors, he sees that the pews and statues have been put into places as barricades. There are rebel corpses on the floor, he'd estimate about half a dozen in here total. He puts his lighter to a nearby candle, and drops the candle on the church floor. The flame starts to cackle as he walks back out.
The two groups head away from the now burning church, making their way back through the mountain to meet the others. As they round a bend, Wang spots a group of Russians. Before they can pass though, the Russians take a stand in the road, blocking them off. "What's this?" asks the other Chinese officer. One Russian states, "Beyond here is claimed Russian land. Our leaders sends word not to let anyone clear until he gives the signal." The Chinese officer steps forward, "This is madness, let us through." The Russian shrugs. "If you want to come through,-" he draws a pistol at the Chinese officer, "You do so as a corpse." The Chinese officer pulls out his revolver and points it back in response. Soon, every Russian and Chinese soldier is pointing guns at each other.
Uh oh.
