Numpe City (Portster Theocracy)

"Retreat, Retreat" Men are shouting as Mechanical Golems walked out of the Numpe City walls.

"My Lord, Why did we retreat. The Golems have gone out, if we are able to destroy some of it, their forces would drastically dwindle." An officer said, after the retreat signal was raised by their Commander.

"There is very little to achieve in fighting those golems, they can be repaired but our men's lives is finite. We are at the disadvantage if this continues. Send a message to the command center for reinforcement. Request for Golem interceptors and air support as well as a team of Heavy infantry. Label it as urgent" Legion Commander General Leofwine Tollere, One of the Legion Commander of Banawe Kingdom A commoner decent but achieved his rank through effort and his talent in tactical war. An orange peak stage rank at 62 years old.

Siege battle had become a normal event in Numpe Border as Chiscast Empire 3rd Legion Sand Wolf led by Legion Commander General Leofwine Tollere continuously siege the city for about a month now. If not for Portster Theocracy's Mech Golem Units, the castle would have already fallen down with how good a tactician Commander General Leofwine was.

Inside the tent were the commander reside a report has arrive.

"Commander, new information from the intelligence group." The soldier then handed a paper containing the information which the commander opened and read immediately.

"Rexxar, Investigate this new sightings of Mechanical Vehicles from Dark forest. I am interested in it's technology." Leofwine said as he was also one of the head researcher of military weapons research program of Banawe Kingdom.

No matter how discreet Zion and his men hide the tools they have, there was always who will discover it, but aside from the vehicles and other already introduced weapons like the suit and some utility vehicles there is very low chance of anyone discovering their secrets like the mana farming from trees, and fusion reactor producing their electricity.

Ruin Military Training Ground

Kumar training strengthening skills from Rygorn, Lent enhancing his elemental skills and building up stack of special abilities from combining those elements and even creating new ones with the help of her knowledge. Zeeq was balancing strength and elements in his techniques further discovering new abilities not available in the history of the planet, meanwhile Shierra was focus on powerful abilities and practicing also other support abilities. All in all their progress was tremendous, even surpassing the Majors in the military and leveling themselves on par with Rygorn.

"Everyone is impressive as always, you have surpassed everyone in the military including me. I congratulate everyone and always remember to not be satisfied of your skills as the possibilities are limitless." Rygorn has nothing more to teach them and ended their master student relationship.

"Commander Rygorn, we owe everything to you and the majors teachings, we would not stop in developing and hope you will always remain our mentor."

"ahahaha...Lets end this formality and celebrate for now. The young Lord will be with us soon, so we must prepare."

Zion arrived as informed for a meeting with them.

"Everyone, Congratulations in completing the training, As we are entering our busiest moment, I would have to trouble you of continuing your roles as you have left. Kumar will supervise Atlantis, Zeeq will oversee our connection with the neutral cities, Shierra will manage our current problems on the east. While Lent will investigate and gather information on the south areas including procuring information on Banawe Kingdom south territories and Protectorate of Aroseimia."

"Our original plan is on schedule, and your assignments will remain the same. I expect results this week" They already knew and briefed on the past by their assignments but to Zion insisted to see them to congratulate them personally."

"Lastly, this is my gift to everyone." Zion gave a small coin like object. It is actually a medal that would be put in their chest. An inch in diameter, simple silver medal with engravings. They are the Azure Dragon of the East, the Vermilion Bird of the South, the White Tiger of the West, and the Black Tortoise from the Chinese guardians.

"And here is for Commander Rygorn for guiding my companions well." Same coin like medal but it's emblem is a shield crown(A shied combined with a crown at the top), At the back are two swords crisscrossing and at the shield was Atlantis City Symbol which is thirteen dots representing the 12 islands and 1 underworld. One dot at the center representing Hades, surrounded by five dots representing Zeus, Poseidon, Demeter, Hera, and Hestia. while the remaining dots was arranged around representing Hermes, Ares, Hephaestus, Apollo, Artemis, Athena, Aphrodite. The medal itself was silver, while the crowned shield and sword emblem inside was golden and the dots where steel chrome black in color.

After individually receiving their medals they bowed and thanked Zion.

"I will explain in the future what these symbols will be. For now it will be your office official emblem."

"Sire, I have a question about the city of Atlantis." Kumar as the Atlantis overseer was curious about something.

"Yes Kumar."

"Sire, what will be the purpose of Atlantis and how would we convince people to live in a very high-tech city. The people would be intimidated, and their past jobs would be irrelevant to the city such as farming and the likes." Kumar was concerned of building such grandiose and high-tech city if people won't be able to use it.

"Yes, a good inquiry. As you have seen in the design, Atlantis is an Evolving city, it's first phase would accommodate people who seeks a home, just like us and the Snow fort citizens that lost their home from war and conflict." Zion felt a need to connect themselves to the citizens of Snow Fort as they and the Snow Fort citizens have almost the same condition with them. Dispersed, homeless, lost because of war and conflict. They needed a comfortable place to live and settle

"The first phase would also serve not only as shelter for everyone but also a learning facility, Us and all the people will learn and adapt with the technology. We are also learners as they have mana that we don't have and we have the technology and knowledge that they don't have. We teach them all the basics and in return they will help us in research and development."

"But of course it will evolve into the next phase which will support our economy and needs as we continue to develop and demand of resources and man power will increase. Even in the past as Tron Citizens, no matter how advance robotics and autonomy, demand on people do not decrease. The second phase of evolution of the city will also cater to boost our military might and discover more significant inventions of tools by combining our own technology and mana."

"The third and final phase would be the longest to achieve which would evolve the city to be able to connect other cities just like it and be in synchrony to achieve harmony in information exchange that would ultimately help in the development of the whole inhabitants of the planet."

"If you think that we are ahead because we know something that they don't, then that would put us on peril. The mana alone would be a great void waiting to be discovered, and I believe that there is something hidden out there waiting to be discovered, and before we venture deep we must prepare. And establishing a base and home is our first step to achieve those goals."

"Home." Kumar mumbled under his breath. They finally understood that no matter how advanced they are, the void of unknown that surrounding mana is a long journey, a journey they should be prepared and not to be underestimated even with their knowledge and vast information.

"Yes, it will be difficult but even now we are slowly training them without them knowing, introducing them to the tools will make them curious and seek answers which we will slowly provide them and of course the drastic measure others took is a needed sacrifice for others comfort." Zion was referring to the officers and other officials undertaking information embedding program which will hasten their learning.
