...
Rusted Wall M6 Patrol Station, soldiers of the Rust Wall Defense Team watched the border people being slaughtered in the distance, each swallowing their throats involuntarily.
One soldier looked at the commander beside him and asked tremblingly, "Sir, this is driving them to a dead end... Can't we do something?!"
The commander said expressionlessly, "Listen, kid, the City Council ordered not to open the Rust Wall, so our job as soldiers is to follow orders."
The soldier said anxiously, "Then we won't open the Rust Wall, is it impossible to temporarily disable the firepower recognition zone? Let those refugees hide under the wall, closer to us! That way, if beasts come, our city defense turrets can provide them shelter!"
Other soldiers also chimed in, agreeing with this approach.
The commander saw the distant ant-like people reflected in his eyes, his voice very low: "Kids, you're all smart, but you don't understand politics."
