A Way Out

The armistice continued, and though Emrys had lost his most precious bargaining chip, he still refused to surrender. Instead, he made use of every moment that Erich gave him to mobilize his reserves and deploy them to the front lines. 

Erich's robotic legions and their suicidal tactics had done a far greater number on the Legion of the Damned than Emrys had initially estimated they would. But what was perhaps the worst thing to come from this was the propaganda that Erich, or should I say Tia, began to spread across the Germanic Star-Empire.

The GSE was fighting like the survival of their species was on the line. And though this was the case during the Terminus war. This was most certainly not the reality they currently lived in. As long as the war continued in uninhabited worlds, which only the military occupied, then the Germanic people did not have much to feel.
