The might of the S.C.T.

"Zz... Commander, inciting invasion plan... Phase 1... Confirmed!"

The air filled with uncertainty as Airon and Mercer witnessed the darkening of the sky. Both leaders were immersed in their thoughts, sharing their initial impressions about the situation that lay before them. The fate of the community and the hope of an entire country hung by a thread.

During the conversation, Mercer had no choice but to trust Airon until he proved that he had the power to shelter and lead them.

"Mercer, above all, I must be realistic. Attacking the CRM would lead us into an unequal battle and possibly result in the complete loss of hope in this country. We cannot ignore the strength and resources of that organization. Putting everything at stake without a solid strategy and the necessary support would be suicide. That's why I decided to unite with the Commonwealth by any means necessary."

Mercer nodded, his eyes reflecting a mixture of concern and determination. Both knew that the decisions they would make would have significant consequences for their people and the future.

At that precise moment, the sound of an engine broke the silence. Mercer and Airon looked up at the sky, astonished to see a series of planes approaching. The roar of the engine filled the air and the hearts of many people, including Mercer, with strength.

The plane, a C5 followed by others like it, approached slowly with its wings extended. The logos of the S.C.T. were clearly visible on its fuselage. From a distance, Deanna and Mercer exchanged glances, sharing a moment of astonishment and surprise.

Airon smiled and said to Mercer, "It seems that my forces are here. They have arrived to provide support in this critical moment."

"I don't know what to say. I'm glad that not all is lost... In these times, we will need all the help we can get."

The plane began dropping sheets of paper that descended gently towards them. Mercer picked up one of the messages and read it silently, absorbing its content.

"Transfer of living beings to a safe city. Any resistance will be met with greater force. It seems they had a plan from the beginning to initiate an evacuation operation to protect our people."

Airon nodded, recognizing the importance of this operation to ensure the survival of those who still held hope.

"Mercer, you must ensure that our men understand the situation. They must not fire at those planes. Our people are there, seeking safety and protection. This is the last attempt to preserve life amidst the approaching storm."

Mercer nodded with determination, his initial impressions transforming into concrete actions.

"I will do what is necessary to guarantee the safety of our people. We cannot waste this opportunity to keep moving forward."

Mercer's plan was set in motion. The Commonwealth was being invaded from the sky and the land, but this time, the invasion was different. It was not a violent invasion, but a strategic move to ensure the survival of the community and its people. Silence reigned amidst the chaos as helicopters, planes, and drones filled the sky.

In the heart of the Commonwealth, Mercer had given the order not to attack. He wanted to avoid bloodshed and protect his people. In response, his soldiers maintained a defensive position but refrained from raising their weapons against the invaders.

Helicopters began landing at strategic points in the city, while the soldiers of the S.C.T. disembarked and rapidly deployed. They moved with precision and determination, following a meticulous plan. Their objective was to secure the area and ensure the protection of the civilian population.

Simultaneously, planes and drones flew over the Commonwealth, surveilling and assessing the situation from the air. Advanced technology provided a clear and detailed vision of every corner of the city. There was no place to hide.

Meanwhile, in the streets, the soldiers of the S.C.T. moved silently. They were a disciplined and highly trained army. Their steps were stealthy, but their presence was undeniable. People watched in astonishment as the invasion unfolded before their eyes.

The sky filled with hundreds of helicopters, all equipped to transport non-military personnel. It was a massive effort to ensure the safety and evacuation of those who were unprepared to face the imminent threat.

The soldiers of the S.C.T. worked tirelessly, assisting people in boarding the helicopters and ensuring their protection. The initial chaos gave way to a sense of order and hope. The population began to understand that this invasion was not a threat but an opportunity to survive.

The streets of the Commonwealth became filled with activity. People ran towards the evacuation points, carrying only the essentials for their survival. Fear and uncertainty were palpable, but so was the determination to survive.

Meanwhile, amidst the invasion, Mercer watched with pride as his plan unfolded. He knew that this was the right path to protect his community and secure their future.

The silent invasion continued for hours. The helicopters kept arriving and departing, transporting people to safe locations. The soldiers of the S.C.T. remained in their defensive position, ready to act in case of any eventuality.

Finally, the last helicopter took off from the Commonwealth. The sky gradually cleared, leaving behind an empty and silent city. The evacuation plan had been a success.

Mercer contemplated the desolate landscape and felt overwhelmed by a mix of emotions. He had made a difficult but necessary decision. Now, all that was left was to wait and trust that those who had been evacuated would find safety and a new chance at life.

The fate of the Commonwealth had been written amidst the silent invasion. Only time would reveal if it had been the right choice and if the sacrifice would be worth it in the uncertain future that awaited them.
