Chapter 475 - Activate (1/2)

”So that's their choice?”

Leonel watched this all happen from afar. It seemed odd that he could see things happening from tens of kilometers away so clearly, but it didn't seem like a problem for him in the slightest.

”Crakos, lead your men down the middle pass of the mountain.”

Leonel seemed to speak to empty air, there wasn't a single soul on the mountain peak except for himself. Yet, in the instant he spoke, Crakos' men had moved out under his command.

”There are five White Knights in the group you're headed for. All five of them have strength surpassing your own, so be sure to follow my orders to a point.”

Farialice thought that the demons were planning something secretive due to their odd actions… When the reality was that Leonel didn't have a large overarching plan. What he did have were many trump cards he was ready to deploy at a moment's notice.

The first of these trump cards was… Leonel's own personal Force Disruption Towers.

To everyone, including those of Terrain, Force Disruption Towers had become impossible to use. This only made sense. As the world evolved, the laws of physics that governed it would also fundamentally change.

By the current age of technology, the pieces of engineering the people of Earth relied on were inextricably linked to concepts of chemistry, complex studies of physics and, even in some cases, biology.

In such a case, as these laws changed, the technology created to make use of them also became useless. Unless Earth adapted to the new changes with new creations of technology every time they evolved, tech would only become more and more useless as time went on.

However, Leonel wasn't restricted to Earth's technology at all.

Just two or so months ago, Leonel had witnessed the engineers of Royal Blue Fort attempt to piece together a Force Disruption Tower. Though they had failed to complete it in the end, Leonel had already taken note of all of the Tower's pieces.

With the level his mind had reached and the fact the Towers were created based on Third Dimensional constructs, memorizing everything with a glance was as easy as breathing for Leonel.

After witnessing everything, it only became a matter of reverse engineering it all…

However, even then, Leonel didn't need to go so far. What he needed wasn't a true working Force Disruption Tower. After all, they had become nearly useless after Earth entered the Fourth Dimension.

No, what Leonel needed was just a framework, a push in the right direction, a small light at the end of the tunnel… That would be enough to bring the warriors of White City hell.

…

Farialice led the vanguard through the mountain pass.

Rock walls surrounded them from all directions almost as though they had entered a dark valley rather than a passage up a mountain.

Though the passage was considered 'narrow', this was only in consideration for an army of a thousand strong. The truth was that there was still 20 meters of clearance between the walls of the mountain pass.

Still, with an army of this size, such a reality made quickly retreating almost an impossibility.

But, Farialice wasn't a fool. She was already prepared for any unexpected situations.

The reality was that whenever you were an army laying siege, losses would be inevitable. She entered this pass knowing very well that it might be a trap, but she was prepared to suffer whatever consequences might come with it.

This was the philosophy of the White City Knights. They as commanders road in the vanguard. They as commander took the brunt of the pressure on their shoulders. They as commanders would face all danger that came their way.

It was this top down philosophy that bred the fearless army of White City.

When your commanders dared to lead the charge, what right did they as subordinates have to cower?
