"Three days at most."

"If you still haven't surrendered after three days, I'll have no choice but to launch an all-out attack."

"Soldiers of Yellow Springs, today is also the last day we'll be dropping supplies for you."

"I guarantee that if you're willing to lay down your arms and surrender, we'll open a route for you, provide vehicles and food, and let you return to your hometowns."

"That's all I can do."

The broadcast echoed over the Yellow Springs position for
