Invasion

The Empire didn't have many automatons, nor did it have many bright coins, but it was the strongest when it came to the size of their forces.

Even in a remote town like this, they had a dozen low-tier mechas and a few mid-tier ones on standby. The tall walls had a dozen glastro cannons on them, ready to fire at the incoming monsters.

Alaric had ordered to stay at the inn and recover his energy, but he himself dashed through the streets.

He put on his mask and jumped on top of the walls.

Alaric startled several of the guards next to him when he landed. He asked, "what's the situation?"

The most senior guard asked, "who are you? What makes you think you can be here during a monster invasion?"

Alaric looked at the guard through his mask, "I am Alaric. I'm for the people, and I'm a hero to the people. I'm here to help save this town. Now tell me, what's the situation?"
