Chapter 61: Chapter 61: The Calm Before the Storm

The triumph over Black Horizon marked a significant milestone for Sophia and the Alliance. With the capture of key leaders and the dismantling of their operations, the global threat had been neutralized, at least for the moment. However, Sophia understood that such victories were often fleeting, and the world of international security was never truly at peace.

In the days following the successful mission in the Carpathian Mountains, the Alliance headquarters buzzed with activity. Analysts and operatives worked tirelessly to extract intelligence from the captured Black Horizon leaders, while cybersecurity teams continued to monitor global networks for any signs of residual activity or retaliatory strikes. Sophia knew this was the time to strengthen their defenses, ensuring that the Alliance remained a step ahead of any emerging threats.
