BOOM!
Iron Reef exploded with loud cheers as the war transports and warships of the Federation Army ascended into the sky, retreating.
Some of the rebels couldn't believe their eyes.
Before today, they blindly followed Ren Nora, their charismatic leader. Most of them blindly believed in him to lead them to freedom, but at the same time centuries of mental conditioning and propaganda ingrained an innate fear of the Federation Army in them.
To witness that same Federation Army retreat as a result of their efforts after an epic battle, these rebel soldiers felt like they were in wonderland.
"All hail the Freegrid Collective!"
Someone started it and the tens of thousands of soldiers who survived the battle in the city carried on from there.
"ALL HAIL THE FREEGRID COLLECTIVE!"
"ALL HAIL REN NORA!"
"ALL HAIL THE FREE FOLK!"
They laughed, they cried, they hurled curses at the Federation soldiers, calling them cowards as they retreated.
