After the three-hive city attack from Nisco, Nisco suffered severe economic and moral damage, plus the number of civilians in the middle or under city who survived, it made the remaining civilians in the hive mind feel fear, and this fear turned into anger.
many people have been protesting to expand evacuation routes because evacuation routes and boats are very limited, and people are worried about their lives and their families.
The demonstration took place in front of the elevator tower towards the utopia because people from the middle city did not have access to the utopia where the central government hive city was located, especially in the H70 bive city, the capital of Nisco, the demonstrations are still ongoing regularly but the center/government has not provided any information or response to the protesters, they marched with signs that read "save us" or "give us a way to live" and so on.
although the number of protesters there are many governments apparently still do not want to respond to this first so they leave the protesters for a while, he said, the government went to great lengths to examine the corpses of humos that the order of the holy flame defeated back at H78, wanting to quickly find the weakness of the creature and search for its weakness.
Meanwhile, in other countries that heard information that the Ombians had carried out a major attack on Nisco, tightening their defenses, especially when hearing the enemy's new strategy, the generator room increased security.
But as other countries also have limited evacuation routes, their citizens are slowly starting to protest as well because they are informed that the survivors are only a handful of hundreds of thousands.
Housing near evacuation routes became more expensive, but they wanted to get as close to the evacuation route as possible so they were willing to spend their possessions for safety.
Lagur's condition had improved but due to his old age and the fatal Rokkas attack he was no longer allowed to lift the sword made the order of the holy flame leadership fall into the hands of Mel who was still young and inexperienced, but Mel was helped by Lagur's assistant as de facto leader until Mel could lead the order of the holy flame himself.
Since the H78 had collapsed Arcturus Drakon was no longer a military leader so he had been declared retired because he had declared it, drako's mecha armor was given to his son Sasha because he no longer wanted to fight.
As the demonstrations grew so large that the economy became hampered by the government deploying an elite military that normally guards the utopia down to the middle city, it was an armored vehicle aimed at urban combat, this vehicle is also in H78 only not lowered because of the risk of the elevator taken over by the enemy. (or because they do not care about the citizens in the middle city).
the armored vehicle has a turret with many cables connected to the rear of the vehicle. The turret was controlled by a single person, it was a plasma cannon, a powerful yet extremely unpopular weapon among the elite forces of the military.
Technically, the cannons fired hot lasers that could blow up arms or walls, but the military forces hated the guns because they were ineffective in long-term combat.
As a result of this elite military deployment, protesters were reduced but there were still many who demanded evacuation routes that were expanded.
Nisco, which now has only two hive cities, has difficulty meeting the wishes of its citizens who want more evacuation routes, so they do what they usually do is ignore the problem.
......................
meanwhile in H78 the city was deserted and the stench of blood could be smelled in the air, the streets were filled with blood that was already kerig, and the Humos were still wandering.
In the middle of the city there were many bodies piled up and burned, the Ombians plundered for days taking whatever they considered valuable.
the piles of corpses were huge and smelly, but as they had now been burnt it made a charred smell mixed with the unpleasant smell of rotting flesh fill the air.
Rokkas sitting by the road waiting for his assassins to finish looting, and the girl who was always by his side appeared before him.
"lord's looting is over"
"variety.where.with.hive.city.?"
"we've looted it too"
"good.we.can.return.now"
Rokkas raises a device in his hand and presses the red button, instantly the Humos start dazed and fall, and die, all the Humos in the hive city died but not long after their death, their bodies released a spore that filled the hive city and began to grow into a green plant, Rokkas, and the other, the bottom and the route also went from the hive city.
Meanwhile, Raphaella, who had not heard from Ezra, was worried and decided to call, before long her phone was answered.
"hey... Ezra... You're fine"
Raphaella can hear the sound of strong winds from her phone, which leaves her confused as to where Ezra really is.
"hey Raphaella.... You okay ?"
"i'm good.... What about you ?"
"i'm in...."
"i'm in the desert"
"Descend ?!"
"all the baba don't worry about me not getting hurt"
"but you're in the desert !!"
"quietly I have my own suit armor no need to worry"
"hey.... Ezra.... Are you really okay ?"
A worried voice could be heard from Raphaella.
"i'm fine, now that I'm on my way to Mater Regnum I need 7 days to get there but everything's gonna be fine"
"...alright.... I believe in you.... Don't die... Okay"
"heh believe.. I'm not gonna die that easy"
"be careful"
Meanwhile for Noofi, Marie and Roselle Ezra send a message that he is fine to make them relieved.
Ezra continued his journey towards Mater Regnum, the reason he went there was because Mater Regnum was the only country closest, he knew the attack on Nisco had not stopped so he went to another country, he went to another country, and because of all the flights on the previous day no one had headed for Mater Regnum he decided to walk there.
Meanwhile Sasha wanted to try the armor given by her father, it opened like a cocoon on the front and when Sasha put the body the armor was immediately closed, and a complex screen appeared, the eyes of the armor can identify many things, such as threats, living creatures, and the armor also has the amount of ammunition available, the number of nanites left in the armor and also the condition of the armor.
The armour was flowed by the magic energy from Sasha's body which made her warm.
Sasha tries to fly, he manages to float before he can and crashes into a wall right into his head.
Arcturus who heard this commotion instantly came.
"Sasha!, are you okay ?"
"i'm fine I'm just a little dizzy"
"trying to fly huh ?..."
Sasha nodded still using that armor.
"your magic control is still weak you have to practice your magic control again"
"but I can already use my rifle, why can't I use this armor"
"the gun and this armor are different, the armor it has.... Personality itself"
"personality ?"
"you will understand for a long time you use it so jagan worried.. hey Sasha I did not see Lily or Mel.... Where are they ?"
"ohs... Mel did an extra education to become a better leader and Lily.... Alu don't know..... Like something's wrong with him... He's becoming more quiet"
"maybe he's still traumatized by what happened at H78 let it go first, he needs time"
Sasha nodded in understanding but inside the armor her face was neither happy nor relieved, she was very worried.
