Chapter 538: Chapter 499: The True Power of the 8th Step! (5K)_2
The military structure of the Lorne Empire had been completely optimized; most ordinary people recruited from the colonies existed only for logistics and as cannon fodder, while only the native Extraordinary Exponents of at least the Beginning Level and the honored Lorne citizens were qualified to fight on the frontline.
“Imperial Sword Warriors”
These Extraordinary Exponents of the Beginning Level all donned expensive alchemical armor, capable of resisting strikes at the Transmutation Level. Not only did these armors offer formidable defense, they could also utilize the power of alchemical materials for brief periods of flight. Additionally, each squad of Imperial Warriors had a supporting Alchemical Fairy.
The alchemical weapons in the hands of the Imperial Sword Warriors were of the latest type… their bullets contained potent lethal toxins extracted from the bodies of powerful magic beasts of Monarch Level. Ordinary Extraordinary Exponents would die immediately upon contact, and it wasn’t necessary for the bullets to hit an enemy directly; they could just explode within several dozen meters nearby to take effect.
Any “Imperial Sword Warrior” at the Beginning Level was fully qualified to defeat an Extraordinary Exponent at the Lower Transmutation Level.
A team of twelve “Imperial Sword Warriors,” led by a captain at the Lower Transmutation Level, was enough to encircle and kill an Extraordinary Exponent at the Upper Transmutation Level.
Several squads of Imperial Sword Warriors, with their captains holding Forbidden rare artifacts, and in cooperation with a powerful expert of the Imperial at the Upper Transmutation Level, were sufficient to pose a threat to Extraordinary powerful experts from other regions who were low-level Monarchs.
The toxin in those special bullets couldn’t kill a Monarch powerful expert instantly, but gradually, with repeated exposure, it could still be fatal.
And if combined with an Array and the Spell assistance of some powerful Spellcasters… In fact, low-level Monarch powerful experts had been poisoned to death when surrounded by more than a dozen squads of Imperial Sword Warriors.
At this moment, nearly a hundred Monarch powerful experts from various factions, thousands of Imperial Sword Warriors, thousands of Extraordinary Exponents from other factions, and a large and chaotic number of ordinary cannon fodder had converged here…
It was probable that, under this terrifying force, Cyart would not withstand and would fall within a few days—it merely depended on the speed at which this force advanced.
“By deploying nearly half of their military strength, Lorne has given the Seven Suns Empire an opportunity,” mused a bishop of the Sun Church.
Apart from the Tempest Church, whose main territory was in the East and who kept silent and feigned death, people from the other major Churches had all arrived.
They had come to a mutual agreement that the Fischer family truly were servants of the Evil God!
In a few years’ time, aside from the East, the majority of people on the Ouden Continent would believe this.
With a dominant status spanning over ten thousand years, the major Churches of the True Gods still possessed the utmost influence on public opinion.
“Yes, indeed. However, I believe this is also a tremendous trap; they are luring the Seven Stars to attack proactively… The main reason the Seven Stars have remained unbeaten before was their reliance on defensive barriers; without relying on barriers, they are still the weaker side.”
The man, who had recently reached high-level Monarch Status and risen to be the new Cardinal of the Sun Church, nodded gravely and speculated a great deal.
If anyone from the Fischer family was here, they would definitely recognize his identity!
