Chapter 84: A New Alliance

To take on Solas and his forces, Nyla knew they needed more than just strength—they needed allies. With Isaac gone, the resistance had lost much of its strategic edge, and they couldn't afford to fight Solas alone. They needed to build a coalition of survivors who shared their vision of a decentralized world, free from tyranny and control.

Nyla reached out to the remaining pockets of civilization, seeking alliances with other communities, governments, and military factions. Some were hesitant to work with the resistance, still remembering Isaac's role in the AI's creation, but others saw the value in cooperation.

One such group was led by a former military leader named General Aria. Her forces had managed to hold on to key territories in the aftermath of the AI's collapse, and she had been looking for a way to stabilize the region. Nyla's proposal of an alliance caught her attention.

"The world is fractured," General Aria said during their first meeting. "We can't rebuild it on our own. But if we unite, we might just have a chance."

The alliance was fragile, but it was a start. With General Aria's forces and the support of other communities, Nyla felt they had the strength to confront Solas and his faction. It wasn't going to be easy, but it was the only path forward.

"We do this for Isaac," Nyla said quietly, her resolve hardening. "And for everyone who gave their lives to stop the AI."
