Re:Zero - Starting a Different World Industry

French troops attempted to flee the front lines directly.

They did not intend to fight on the front lines because they knew they could not defeat the National Defense Forces.

Moreover, these people in front of them were not the National Defense Army, but the even more ruthless Imperial Guard.

They were lucky to have survived the Imperial Guard's attack...

A large number of orc rebels chose to abandon their defense of Rakka Town.

They then fled north as far as possible.

Many orc rebels knew that this was not the end, but just a new beginning.

However, they chose to accept this outcome.

Because for them...

Whether they won or lost, it was a torment for them.

What they wanted was actually very simple: to survive.

But what can you do when they're rebels?

As rebel soldiers, they simply couldn't refuse.

Because the word "no" doesn't exist in their dictionary...

The strength of the national defense forces plunged them into deep panic.

The Imperial Guard launched several surprise attacks.

Their will to fight has been broken; now they only want to flee north.

If they escape to the north, they can survive.

If we can't escape this town.

Sooner or later they will be crushed by the Imperial Guard.

The Guards tanks stopped in the streets of Raqqa, but they did not rush to launch a new offensive.

Instead, they kept observing.

They wanted to determine the current morale of the orcish resistance.

The orcish resistance has not won a single victory since the start of the war.

Victory is a pipe dream for them.

Most of the soldiers wanted to flee.

Only a small number of rebel soldiers chose to fight to the death with the town of Raqqa.

But they were blocked directly.

The people of Laka Town say that Laka Town belongs to them, not to the rebels!

The so-called "shared fate" is nothing but your excuse!

The people of Laka town directly engaged in fierce fighting with the rebels.

Gunfire was heard throughout the entire town of Raqqa.

The Imperial Guard was in no hurry to launch an attack, also to ensure one thing.

That means not harming innocent people.

Both sides are now extremely anxious, and if they enter the fray, the fight could very well become even more intense.

They don't want to see this situation.

Guards-controlled area.

The Imperial Guard controls approximately 20% of the town of Raqqa.

They were not in a hurry to retake the entire town of Raqqa.

Instead, they built a strong defensive line in the area surrounding the town of Raqqa.

Ensure that the orc resistance forces in the central and northern regions cannot retreat through the town of Rakka.

Control area.

Inside a house.

A dozen or so orc children huddled together, comforting each other.

This building is a welfare institution.

All the orphans in the entire town of Laka are housed in this welfare institution.

This welfare facility was built with funds from the town mayor.

The town mayor had high hopes for these orphans.

Unlike the children of the local residents, these orphans have no roots or foundations.

The mayor can enable them to learn advanced knowledge.

Not bound by so-called feudal knowledge.

The mayor is very ambitious.

They were also very visionary.

This welfare institution was built after the Great Yan conquered the Orc Empire.

Without this welfare institution, the National Defense Force would very likely have removed the town mayor.

For the national defense forces.

No matter who you are, if you want to keep your position as mayor, the prerequisite is that you have to be a good person.

As long as you are a good person and treat ordinary people kindly, that's enough.

The National Defense Forces don't have so many complicated procedures.

They won't do anything outrageous.

The so-called tyranny is only directed at bad people.

After the National Defense Forces' control over various regions gradually declined.

The town mayor outwardly made contact with the resistance forces, but in reality, he was hoping that the National Defense Army would attack.

Having seen the sun, one will no longer succumb to darkness.
