The Author's POV

"So, what do you think?"

I asked while keeping an eye on Maylin, Gervis, and Brutus.

Inside the main headquarters, which was located in the middle of the city, we were currently seated in front of a large wooden table.

The room was fairly large, and there was a pleasant breeze that continued to blow throughout it.

I felt rather comfortable here.

"What do you want us to say?"

Maylin's expression was one of bitterness as she looked at me. Moving her hair behind her ear as she leaned back in her chair before eventually smiling.

"I'm not going to lie, it's great…"

She paused, as if that wasn't enough.

"…It's beyond impressive."

"I'm glad you think so."

I felt my ego go up at that moment. It took a long breath for me to suppress my rising ego, and my expression turned serious.

"Enough about the city. I'm actually here to talk about something serious."

Hearing the solemnity in my tone, the atmosphere in the room immediately shifted, and the three of them sat up straight.

Seeing that I now had their full attention, I started to speak.

"First things first, you should all be aware of what's currently happening outside of this planet, right?"

The expressions of the three turned grim at my words.

"How could we not know? We've already been briefed by the other forces. The situation is quite dire for them."

Maylin commented, her expression beyond serious. When I turned my head to look at the others, I noticed that they all wore the same expression on their faces, and that's when I realized that their forces weren't doing any better than hers.

"We…"

Gervis started.

"…Don't think they'll last any longer than a couple more days."

His words increased the tension within the room, and my expression changed in response. Although I somewhat expected this situation to occur, it transpired much more quickly than I anticipated.
