In the Fifth Defensive Sector, the breach torn through the first line of steel defenses was like a wound that would never heal.
Tens of thousands of Heart Eaters poured through, like ink dropped into clear water, instantly corrupting the entire region.
They swarmed over the embankments formed by the wreckage of Golems and, for the first time, set foot on the inland territories of the Aiselan Kingdom.
Awaiting them was the Royal Army's second line of defense.
"For the King! For Aiselan!"
A Royal Army Commander raised his longsword high and roared the order to fire.
A web of firepower, composed of alchemical rifles, siege crossbows, and a handful of Construct Armors, instantly formed.
Compared to Allen's Golem Legion, this line of defense seemed so primitive, so... fragile.
Lead shot and crossbow bolts struck the tough hides of the elite Heart Eaters, only to glance off with a few sparks. They couldn't even make the creatures pause.
