Armand Region – Armand Border Wall
The tension in the air snapped like a wire under strain.
Suddenly, every single one of Javier's inventions.
The anti-air mana guns, the mana cannons, and rows upon rows of Mithril Puppet Knights stationed along the Armand border, lit up in synchronized alert.
A piercing whirr filled the air as turrets rotated, barrels rose, and magical engines flared to life.
Warning runes blinked red.
A low hum of mana surged through the defenses, like the calm before a storm.
The elite guards stationed along the border instantly noticed the shift.
Panic didn't spread—but discipline did.
The squad leader narrowed his eyes. "Everyone!! Full alert!!"
Swords were drawn, shields raised.
Even the normally silent Mithril Puppet Knights took a step forward.
"You!" the leader barked at a young soldier nearby.
"Y-Yes, sir?!"
"Run to the command post! Alert the Armand Main Manor and Gaze City Command Post—NOW!"
