The fighting outside was intense, but short lived. Although numerous, the remaining forces loyal to the deceased Wallace-Johnson were little match for the better equipped and trained Legionnaires, and quickly found themselves flanked as more reinforcements, in the form of impromptu city militia led by the Freetown police forces, arrived at their rear, pinning the beleaguered loyalist troops against the walls of the embassies.
Hundreds surrendered, throwing down their arms in droves, especially as their calls for reinforcements from those forces still holding the city's landward perimeter, found themselves under assault by yet more Legion forces, a detachment of the Panhard mounted Legionnaires that had taken the artillery position.
With the surrendering of the remaining loyalist forces, a wealth of hardware was seized; vehicles both armoured and logistic in nature, weapons and ammunition, and more importantly, some officers seeking leniency gave up stockpiles of medical supplies and food that the soldiers had been stealing from refugees fleeing into the city over the past few weeks.
