Chapter 338 (1/2)

“Ye-yes!! I am deeply moved by your kind words I shall remind the any loss of lives Do not worry on that account!!”

“Good I eagerly await a positive report”

She said, and then the transmission ended

The screen blinked off and Michelle let out a deep sigh

Now that she had said that, they would focus on the mystery enemy rather than the destruction of the resistance

Unfortunately, for this mystery enemy, it would have to be used to buy them some time

Now she would just have to contact her inforive orders and somehow use the situation to help them recover

Jegyll s

“You ine what it is like, keeping your subordinates happy while helping the resistance…”

“Yes… But it cannot be helped What they say is right, and in terms of fairness, we are not without fault The truth is, we do not have enough resources for everyone, and we make them suffer a little…”

Michelle answered with a small smile of her own

The Mechanized E the resistance–thought none actually knew this

Only a few of the top people in each city were aware

The first great ould never have even occurred if there had been enough resources

If people cared too row discontent when others made profits

Even more so when your life was on the line

In reality, it was just not possible for the Eh food for all of humanity

It was even less realistic to provide clothing and shelter And so there was no avoiding having people bear their situation

It was clear, since a city had already been destroyed

That was the reason that Michelle's father, the Emperor of Almsbine, had abandoned those who lived outside of the city

–Reconciliation was not to be wished for

They would not destroy them, but they would not save them either

They would be given scraps fro it…

Those were the words of the Emperor

No one knew about this

This was because it would not gain any support

“Well then, I will send word”

“Yes, thank you Jegyll”

Jegyll bowed and left the room

Michelle was now left alone

“…Destruction In this situation, we are probably just delaying our last days… But having an eneht…”

She closed her eyes and thought

Even if the world was headed for destruction, Michelle was deterht it

To that cause, she illing to be merciless and cold

The resistance was not a threat now If anything, as enemies, they provided her men with a reason to live

Michelle wished that things could just stay as they were

And yet–

(…This mystery enemy)

Then a thought came to her

Fro

As long as they did not knohere it was fronored

In any case…while they were probleood

So everything should become clear soon

(…However, I hope that the resistance don't becoh this…)

If their existence became a threat to the city…

Michelle thought about this dark possibility
