Chapter 336 (1/2)

Bonus – Visit to the Unknown – 04 The Empire's Reasons and Okonomiyaki

Colonel Gratham looked nervous as he bowed to the person on the other side of the screen

It was Lieutenant General Michelle, the highest in command of the southern security force

So it was no surprise that Colonel Gratham was nervous

Not only was Lieutenant General Michelle the highest in command of the southern security force, but she was the Governor-General of South City

Before the great war, this world was separated into seven 'cities'

The cities were complete sustainable cities that were the product of the best technology of the time

The population was fifty million

The whole world worked together to create this dream-like robotic utopia

In these complete cities, humans did not need to work

To be precise, under the total control of artificial intelligences, they had a couaranteed for them

There was only a se the cities and decided the direction they would take All of the other labour was done by machines

People had the bare minimum when it comes to clothes, food and shelter and were also able to enjoy public entertainment

This was promised to all fifty million citizens

However–

The entire population of the world was actually ten billion

Due to a rise in population, the world was beco oversaturated

There were those ere promised comfort and those ere not

Only a small fraction of those ten billion would be chosen as residents of paradise

So perhaps it was no surprise that hatred would be born from this difference

The plan to build these cities continued to be carried out by the one world government

But before they were finished, there were those who raised their voices in discontent

They were blind to their own laziness, no, perhaps it was because of their laziness, that they despised and hated those ould be allowed to live in the cities

Wars often occurred over ser

Faster than the coe, and water shortages began to become desperate

The predictions that there would be mass starvation before the rest of the cities were complete started to look like a reality It was then that it happened

Riots

Those who could not get into the cities began to attack

These riots spread throughout the world, and the flarow

And turn to war

–And now

Of the seven original 'cities,' only five remained

This was the territory of the Mechanized Empire of Almsbine

Almsbine, the supreme leader of the cities' ad citizens were uard its territories as soldiers
