In the vast desolate field 50 kilometers away from Arkadia City-State, a large army of mutants was camped amidst the ruins of an abandoned city. They made use of the buildings and surrounding mutated beasts for defense against surprise attacks.
Usually, these mutants would never dare set up camp within 50 kilometers of the city, as they would become targets for a cruise missile salvo.
Even though they had many powerful mutants capable of defending against such attacks, suffering casualties before the war even started was something they still needed to avoid.
But this time, with the defection of Gideon Voss, all of the launch codes had been changed, and it would take at least five years for the UEC to recover access by hacking the security system.
