The cause of war.

For decades, Kordelia was a peaceful and thriving nation, being the most powerful among the countries of the penisular.

Until the civil war broke out, following the collapse of The Shrike family, the ruling family that rule over the country with tight grip, with power vaccum, new political party rise and claim their legitimacy to rule.

The war ended in around 2 years, with victory of The Shrike's remnant, but the war ravage the whole nation and transform Kordelia into military state.

With great need for resources and manpower, Kordelia begin to expand their territory to the north and negotiate with the native tribes there in an attemp to access to what they need.

But not all negotiations would end in their favor, many natives view the outsiders with hostile gaze and refuse to negotiate, since Kordelia cannot afford to abandon their plan, they insist to establish their own settlements in tne north field, leading to the tension between the two sides.

The conflict broke out, when the settlement of Dhazov was attacked, and Kordelian's blood spilled, causing Kordelian's public outcry for war.

Since they still recover from the civil war, manpower was run short, and they result in recruit the natives that ally with them.

With their superior military, Kordelia swiftly crush the hostile natives and control most of the north field, but some remaining native resistances still persist.

Granitsa, the north field frontier stronghold of Kordelia.

The city was originally build by the natives as the trading post, after Kordelia's victory over the hostile natives, this city has been under their rules ever since, and serve as frontier city against the remaining hostile forces.

Due to this reason, the city is not very lively, and people's life is harsh due to city's hight living expenses due to supply shortage.

At night, western distict warehouse.

The whole warehouse as blight as days, fire erupting from the warehouse, and chaos happen everywhere.

"Quickly! This way!" A group of three people running away from the warehouse's guards.

"Are we the only group here!?" The young man with flat brown hair ask his comrade.

"Seems so! The others might run at another direction!" Another man with bulky build reply.

"Those Kordelia's lapdog still follow us!" The only girl of the group yell as their pursuers still following.

"Of course they are, we burn their warehouse for the third times! They're surely piss!" The bulky man reply.

"How long will we need to keep doing this, Cupun?" The boy ask the bulky man.

"Until this city run dry and weak enough for our people to retake it." Cupun reply.

"Ouch!!" The girl slip and fell on the ground.

"Jissika!"

"Keep runnig, Tulok! I'll take care of her!" Cupun tell the boy as he stop running and pick the girl up on his shoulder.

The three separate, with Tulok now hiding in the corner of the street.

It was 2 years after the massacre of his village, he was pick up by the other survivors of the village.

The war end with the native's defeat, and now they lived under their conquerer's rules.

Due to the damage the war has cause, many people still resent the natives, and tension still going on. For Tulok and his people, their lives were harsh, and they decide to join the native resistance force to continue fighting Kordelia which they seen as oppressor.

"Cupun! Jissika! You both unharm!" Tulok relieve to see his comrades able to get away.

"Not really, I was shot." Cupun said, before he open his shirt and take out metal plate.

"Good thing is I have an armor for this."

"What about the others?" Tulok ask.

"Most of us get away, some aren't however." Jissika reply before take off her hood, revearlher round face with flat short black hair.

"What can we do to help them out?" Tulok worry.

"We need to regroup first, then we can discuss with the others what to do." Cupun reply.

"What if somethings happen to them? We can't afford to lose more of them!"

"But if we doing it blindly, we'll get caught as well."

"Tulok, Cupun was right, we can't afford to lose more, so please be cautious." Jissika support her comrade's idea, making Tulok gone silent.

"As long as they're just being imprison, nothing to worry about. Let's get back to our base and discuss about this with others." Cupun said as the three being to move in the dark.

"Sure." Tulok agree, he look at the burning warehouse for a moment before leaving.
