------------

Michelle's Wall, this wall has a history of five hundred years. When the Holy Kingdom was first established, there were still many remnants of natural disasters and monsters left over from the wasteland era on the continent, hence this wall was built to protect the citizens within the territory.

But today, this old wall, originally just a part of history, has suddenly been burdened with a heavy load again.

The news of the Dragon Nation declaring war could be concealed in other places for a while, but here at the border, a general mobilization had already been initiated. When Renji arrived here, he could see that even though it was night, the large swathes of lights on the wall still illuminated the darkness.

Groups of "Crusaders" patrolled the wall in an extremely tense manner, with numerous strategic materials being continuously transported to the wall.

"My Lord?"

As soon as Renji entered the wall, a young man, eagerly anticipating, ran out from the queue of Crusaders at the gate to greet Renji.

"You are...? And just call me Renji."

"Third Army Commander of the Crusaders, Clausius Perry, I offer you my most sincere respects! Hearing from Lady Maria that you are personally rushing to the front lines, our entire army is incredibly excited, ready to obey the Lord's commands at any time, ready to sacrifice for the Holy Kingdom at any moment!"

The young man in front of him was excited, clearly another "Tamic" type.

The Holy Kingdom might not be comparable to the Dragon Nation in other aspects, but at least in terms of cohesion, the "Priests" of Blackhole are probably just a rare exception, as the majority of the knight orders and Crusaders are true believers.

Especially after yesterday's "miracle."

Therefore, even though they don't know Renji at all, have never seen Renji, they are willing to give all their power, even their lives, to Renji, trusting him blindly.

Every national structure has its pros and cons, Renji can't say this is good, but at least in the current scenario, it greatly saves his effort.

"Lord Renji, just over an hour before you arrived, our scouts detected a Dragon Nation army appearing fifty kilometers away!"

"An army? That fast?"

"You'll know once you come up to the wall!"

Led by Clausius, Renji and his companions quickly climbed up Michelle's Wall. Without needing Clausius to point it out, Renji looked into the distance, where under the night sky, clusters of lights were very conspicuous.

Renji : "That is..."

Clausius : "Yes, it's the Dragon Nation's vanguard army, about five thousand."

"Even if it was the direct order of the Empress, from assembling the troops to marching out, only a few hours have passed. Is it really possible for them to have traveled from hundreds of miles away in such a short time? That seems unlikely."

Renji furrowed his brows in doubt, and Clausius nodded in agreement, quickly offering his deduction to Renji.

"Indeed, we were also shocked. So, I deduce that this vanguard army must have used the power of an 'Artifact' from the Great Emperor! In this troop, there must be a 'Relic Wielder' with the ability to 'teleportation'!"

'Relic Wielder, huh? This term always comes up frequently when discussing anything related to the Dragon Nation' Renji recalled his own past equipment and items. Indeed, to achieve such cross-country, long-distance teleportation was rare, but not impossible.

"Lord Renji, I think there's a high probability that they are just the first wave. They came here first to use that teleportation-type 'Relic Artifact' to establish coordinates. Afterward, the Dragon Nation can use this as a base point, continuously transporting troops without needing a long expedition. Then, at that time... Damn it! Is that Empress really in such a hurry to destroy our Holy Kingdom?!"

Clausius, filled with rage and grief, pounded his fist against the wall.

Eileen: "What are we waiting for then? We must hurry out and stop them!"

This was something even Eileen had realized, and naturally, Clausius had thought of it too.

But he quickly shook his head, frustratedly saying, "We can't take such a big risk to venture beyond the wall. Moreover, even if we do capture that Relic, none of us here are 'Relic Wielders.' We don't know how to use it and can't stop the ongoing teleportation."

Eileen : "Be comforted, Mr. Clausius. There's no need to be so pessimistic. My master can control all Relic."

Clausius : "What? Really!? Can Lord Renji really..."

Eileen : "Hehe, alright, little Claus, leave the rest to us. After all, if we're really counting... That old timer, he might well be called the father of all 'Relic Wielders'!"

Fifty miles from Michelle's Wall.

The five-thousand-strong vanguard army was stationed on the wilderness under the night sky. Logically, being a lone force deep in enemy territory and right at the doorstep of the enemy country, they should be on high alert, continuously patrolling and on guard.

Indeed, when Renji and his group left the wall and stealthily approached in the dark, they almost directly entered the enemy camp before they encountered guards and sentries at the entrance.

And what Renji saw on the neck of the sentry was very conspicuous... shackles?

Deep marks of being shackled could be seen on their hands and feet, only now released because they were on sentry duty.

Wearing tattered hemp clothes, which were practically useless in the cold wilderness, and even without shoes, the slightest cold breeze made them shiver uncontrollably, barely able to hold the weapon in their hands steady.

That wasn't a firearm.

It was a spear, a cold weapon.

The reason was simple: their status as slaves.

On the way to Michelle's Wall, Renji had learned about the structure of the Dragon Nation from 86. If the term 'Relic Wielder' was one frequently mentioned, another equally prominent term was... slaves.

Renji had thought feudalism was bad enough, but he hadn't expected that the Dragon Nation was built on a foundation of slavery, where the vast majority of slaves were...
