General Heque stood in the command room of the Consortium Ark. He stood near a display, studying a map of the Esponia mountains.
"Those piles of rock are no longer a nuisance." He murmured.
An aide walked up to the General, kneeling.
"General, the men have been talking amongst each other. They are curious as to why do we not go and target Dresken? Would that not be more beneficial for us?"
Heque shook his head. "No. The plan here is to target a civilian city. Soldiers die in war. Death in war is to be expected. What is not expected is mass casualties of civilians. From what the Hero has told us, in their world a similar situation happened. An unbreakable country of warriors were prepared to fight to the last man. Two cities were destroyed and it broke their will. That is what we hope to accomplish."
The aide raised his head. "I see. Thank you for enlightening me."
