As the Lyran forces approached Hehiro City the Regulars attacked more directly, attempting to prevent the city being encircled and also attempting to prevent the capture of Danford, a small town home to warehouses stocking precious minerals and metals as well as valuable records.

The Lyran forces set in for a siege, constructing an airfield and setting up camps, and laid siege to the city until the Second Battalion of the Regulars attempted a breakout on the 8th of November. The breakout nearly succeeded, but the Second Battalion were destroyed by the Lyrans... although the distraction caused by the battle allowed the First and Third Battalions to steamroll over two companies of Lyran armor and vanish into the desert. For two months the Lyrans tried to catch the Regulars, only able to maintain contact via their aerospace forces and faced with constant harassing attacks from the Kuritan troops, who seemed impervious to the heat, sand or apparent lack of water.<ref name="FSWMAv2p74"/>

With no realistic hope of securing the world or catching the remaining elements of the Eighteenth, and with the combat strength of Always Faithful and the Rangers steadily deteriorating, the LCAF made the decision to recall both regiments - an embarrassing outcome for Duke Lestrade, who had paid to have news reporters accompany the Seventeenth so that he could showcase their military prowess.<ref name="FSWMAv2p74"/>
