Chapter 98: Desperate Situation

The Kingdom of Zambesi had begun to fall apart ever since Valoria abruptly pulled out of the country. Valoria's support had been the backbone of Zambesi's modernization efforts. Now, without it, everything was unraveling. In the capital city of Maputo, the evidence of this decline was everywhere.

The roads, once bustling with construction to improve infrastructure, were now abandoned. Heavy machinery sat idle, gathering rust, while half-finished bridges and overpasses stood as symbols of broken promises. Projects that were meant to bring modern utilities—electricity grids, water distribution, and sanitation—were incomplete, leaving large sections of the city in darkness. Power outages had become the norm, with many areas going days without electricity.
