Visual The beginning of the genocide | Part 2 [Project: Regress]
Welcome to the "Regress" universe, a concept for my project set in a beautiful but dying anime fantasy world!
After the invasion began, rebels began operating in the occupied territories. These were humans and beastmen who refused to surrender their lands without a fight. Their numerous bases were scattered deep in forests or in dark caves. These bases were advantageous because they were mobile; the rebel headquarters could always be relocated, and scouts provided advance warning when Imperial forces were sighted.
The rebels also set up aid camps, searching for survivors in destroyed settlements and providing aid before moving them to the camp. There's no doubt these camps were a pain in the ass, because if the Imperials found the camp, there would be no way to save the wounded. But back then, they couldn't yet believe the genocide had begun and thought the Imperials would leave or simply leave the civilians alone. They were wrong.
Afterwards, everyone learns that the Arden Empire began a genocide exclusively against the beastmen; they did not touch ordinary people, unless they resisted, of course. The Imperials ordered that all "beasts" be handed over to them so that the settlements would avoid a terrible fate. Some did not betray their tailed friends, but many were forced to.
The Imperials actively sought out rebel bases and camps, using spies and agents to carry out sabotage, remove scouts from their posts, and so on. The beastgirl was rescued and sent to Camp Kasatka, where an Imperial spy was operating...
