DONG!

The rhythmic clanging of metal echoed again and again. 

After dealing with the city lord, Leonel seemed to have forgotten about the rest of the world as he went back to forging. 

In truth, he wasn't very interested in doing this back-and-forth with the experts of this world. Going around, conquering cities, and razing his enemies to the ground wasn't interesting in the slightest. 

This was the most obvious path to clearing this Zone, but Leonel also knew that it wouldn't work for him for several reasons. 

First, the Regulator would make it a living hell for him. Trying to follow the conventional path would just give it more chances to do exactly that. 

And second, he already had a Valiant Heart. His goal wasn't to form one like the others. His goal was to form his Weapon Force on his own. 

These were the two requirements for clearing this Zone.
