Rebel groups are rising against them, prompting the empire to send soldiers to crush them. Admiral Atticus demanded grain from Veldt for his army, sparking Kora and Gunnar to gather warriors to fight back. Though Kora defeated Atticus in battle, the empire used a machine to heal and seek revenge. With the village preparing for an imminent empire attack, General Titus trains villagers in warfare, planning to use grain as protection. Kora reveals she was once part of the empire, but betrayal led her to hide as a war orphan on Veldt. Atticus, fueled by revenge, is determined to take down Kora and her allies.
