Ramiris and Beretta looked at each other and sighed with relief. Veldora was quite happy and satisfied now.
It was very peaceful and no one had a problem.
And it was in that atmosphere that negotiations began.
“First, I want you to let me explain.”
It was Zaza who started.
Before the great war, Zaza was a soldier who was supposed to have been stationed in the seventh city, which was the one that had fallen.
He was a first lieutenant in rank and would have led squadrons…but the great war erupted before then.
Zaza’s family—his beloved wife and daughter lived in the farming district instead of the city.
Zaza didn’t know what to do.
Even if he went to the city now, it was already covered in flames and there was nothing that he could do.
In that case—Zaza took his men and decided to help the refugees instead.
He was worried about his own family, but he prioritized work that was close to the city rather than the countryside.
And his sense of responsibility as a military man led him to prioritize the mission rather than his family.
However, this decision would mean misery for Zaza.
The fighting had started in the city, but it soon spread to the countryside. The whole world was wrapped in the flames of nuclear weapons.
There was no such thing as a safe place outside of the city now.
The countryside was no longer safe, and there was no hope of survival for Zaza’s family.
Amidst guilt and regret, Zaza hoped to at least protect those who had survived.
