@TheWindel I presume there are still outposts and villages around them to gather raw resources. Unless that too has been handed over to machines with like, giant crawling strip mining vehicles that slowly trawl along and rip off the crust of an entire planet for raw material..

And that sounds kinda boss and right up the Machina alley now that I think about it. A future battle should involve a repurposed one of those.

When thinking of the Machina, think of the Machines from the Matrix. Humans are just lucky the Machina still find value and use for them.

@TheWindel
Question before I get the final draft of the CS done. Is there no possible way for like anti-Machina humans to exist within the world? If not, I can make an edit saying he defended a small town of humans from a demon raid.

As for the Honor Strike, it may be interpreted as holy, but it really isn't. It's just aimed at demons because Bonesword has had a bad history with them. I can specify this information in the final draft if needed.

Here's the thing, most people who don't want to be in the war.. Just left the Nexus.
