One commander chose to disobey.

When a catastrophic chain reaction threatens civilization, a battle-hardened commander leads his rogue battalion and their families into exile. Cities go dark, order breaks, and the first night proves the old stories were warnings. Monsters hunt the refugees, ancient gods begin choosing champions, and survival becomes a war of faith as much as firepower.  What survives at Hoplite Ridge becomes the Transmission, the seed of humanity’s myths, religion, and culture.
