Here, humans are truly insignificant in the face of nature.
Previously unwilling to advance and confront the rebels, they now had no choice but to leave Arizona.
No other option—staying here any longer would genuinely cost them their lives.
Several tanks had already been smashed by falling objects from the sky.
A large amount of military supplies had been swept into the air.
Arizona, finding joy amidst adversity, saw their opponents leave their territory—not out of defeat, but forced away by natural disasters.
"This is a sign from God! God bless Arizona! Our decisions were absolutely correct."
Meanwhile, the Arizona state government, heightened in alertness and preparing for war, continued to exert control over all industries.
For this reason, the rebellion—long assumed by the federal government to collapse after a few disasters due to lack of federal support—was actually doing just fine.
In fact, Arizona recovered from previous disasters faster than many other states.
