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.
