“You monster! Those are what define our history and heritage!”
A convoy that had been sweeping through every home and museum for historic artefacts to escort back to the rear was ambushed. Each and every historic antique in these trucks held unfathomable significance in the history it entailed. They were national treasures.
However, the soldiers who ambushed the trucks grumbled to each other when they realised that what was in the trucks weren’t supplies.

“That future is now.”
“…”
“People who have no future don’t need history.”
“…”
“Hmph. This will all
