I'm the King Of Technology



Oh yes... 

What can they do now, should be the question. 

What's their next mode of action?

The rebellion was but a tiny fraction of people who had been battered in one way or another by Adonis in both the continents of Lampe and Dania. 

In these 2 continents, the rebellion carefully gathered and set their bases in areas they deemed fit while selecting a few who could infiltrate Adonis's circle and gather information from the top. 

Sometimes, these people worked hard to become leading butler's in the homes of these people, and other times, they became Adonis warriors to stay close to the scoop. 

Although it was extremely rare, there were also times that some Adonis followers woke up from their deranged thoughts, seeing Adonis's reign for what it truly was ---- Tyranny. 

Some woke up to the truth, and couldn't unsee the cruelty around them anymore. 

The number of people who awoke was very few and rare but managed to be contacted by the rebellion.

Don't think the rebellion existed just now. 

No. 

For tens, hundreds, and close to a thousand years, the rebellion has grown. 

There were times they were exposed and times they fled in hiding after their locations were compromised. 

More or less, the rebellion has grown steadily over the years, though it was nothing compared to Adonis' rapid growth. 

Thinking of the future with Adonis wielding such powerful weapons, everyone couldn't help shivering. 

"If your master is right, then we must act fast to stop them from being overpowered! We must acquire their secret-enhancing techniques and make weapons of our own to counter them."

"You say that as if it's easy." Another commented pointing out the obvious. "We all know that any method they are using to enhance their weapons must be safely guarded in the Holy Grounds (a place thrice as big as the Vatican)."

"Hmmm..."

.

Everyone frowned knowing the seriousness of the matter. 

The Holy Grounds was no joking matter. 

It was the most secure place in both Lampe and Dania continents. 

Each continent has its own Holy Grounds, though the Holy Ground in Lampe was the true one, the real headquarters.

Thus it was the biggest and most guarded. 

With every single step one takes, they will see crustless guards swarming the place like bees. 

They also heard that every room, every corner, including rooftops were filled with guards no matter the weather.

There could be a blizzard outside, but that is not the concern for those guarding the place.

There were also over 200 Scouting towers made of stone positioned strategically across the space. 

The scouting tower was unique in that it was designed like small cut-off sections of a stone wall. 

What did they mean by this? Simple. 

Most scoring towers only had one scouting room, which was at the topmost part of the tower. 

Most Scouting towers had ladders to get the scouts up or build hidden stairways within the structure itself. 

But for the scoring towers here, from the ground floor to the topmost area, they all had 3~6 floors with scouts. 

Although it was risky to have scouts positioned on floors so close to ground level, they still did so, knowing it was a vital part of their scouting routines. 

If one looked at the scouting towers, they won't even know there were floors so close to ground level with scouts listening closely to whatever they said.

The camouflage on and around the towers was magnificent, enough to fool even the veterans.

Many would only think the tower has the topmost floor for scouting, only to be plunged into despair when giant arrows are plunged their way.

As of now, they had incorporated ballistas at every floor and angles around the tower to ensure maximum siege.

Bottom line, everyone in the room knew just how difficult it was for anyone, talk less of enemies to infiltrate the Holy grounds. 

Recalling the past some hundreds of years ago, some of their rebellion tried infiltrating the Holy grounds but all died at the entrance steps with all sorts of arrows and attacks coming their way out of nowhere. 

It was so sad because they didn't even know which direction they were hit from. 

It was all over the place as if these Adonis people had magical abilities to reign destruction on them from the heavens. 

It was tragic and hard to recall since they lost so many good warriors to the battle.

.

Again, it was important to know that this was an attack done in Dania's Holy Grounds.

Dania was the 2nd continent Adonis took over. 

So imagine how many times more their attack force would've been in the rebellion plunged into the Holy Grounds here in Lampe were the Homy Leader resided?

You must be joking!

That was definitely a suicide mission. ('=')

But in the face of impending disasters that will come their way, they also knew they must act now or face complete rebellion extinction once Adonis' Influence rules the world.

There was no doubt in their minds that should such Divine instruments exist, then all other weapons they had would be useless. 

And hold on... if it could cut through the current metal technology like butter, then it can also splice into their armors, right? 

The realization was enough to leave everyone's face horrid.

"Are you sure? Are you absolutely sure they have already succeeded in making it and not in the process of figuring it out?"

Eliticus nodded heavily. "As sure as the blood in my veins. They have it. My master said he saw a live demonstration in their secret meeting. Their words were vague but it seems they smoked it in some special divine pool that enhanced the newly crafted weapons even more."

Everyone took a moment of silence, once again coming to terms with the fact that it wasn't some fantasy item but a real treasure these Adonis bastards had found. 

Dammit! 

"And they're ready for mass production and distribution?"

"Ye-yes," Eliticus responded, making himself weaker in confidence and strength than he typically was.

.

A cunning light flashed through Eliticus's eyes. 

As he said, one must have a means of protecting themselves in this game.

He was faithful to the cause but has lost so many people that he dared not do things blindly anymore. 

In his mansion, he did have 5 pleasure concubines, who had no wombs to give. 

This was a guarantee since he didn't want to bear children who would be under the watch of Adonis's every move.

In truth, he moved his real family a long time ago to Dania and relocated them to an area with the last Adonis influence.

There, his true wife, an ordinary peasant woman, was known to many as the wife of his brother-in-law.

They were siblings but had to play the part of a couple to keep them alive.

His brother-in-law once had a woman he loved, but she was taken forcefully by the temple and since then, he has been searching for her 

It's been 15 years now and he still absent given up.

All they knew is that she was transferred to Dania, prompting his decision to move there.

Like any powerful organization, the people and the warriors could get shuffled between two continents regularly.

This wasn't anything new. 

As for his real children, they too were in Dania with his wife and brother-in-law. 

No regrets. 

Anything Eliticus was doing here was for his own risk.

He had no one he loved around him.

He was a very careful man. 

Even now when posing as a slave working in his own mansion, he didn't specifically state which mansion he was staying and working as a servant in. 

You can say he was overly cautious since he also changed his voice and his manner of walking.

In this game, they too, as people of the rebellion, have faced betrayals from their own.

That's why they advise everyone to guard their identities well. 

There will be a time when they can proudly show off their faces. But not now.

----

Many rubbed their chins when confirming Adonis' readiness for mass production and distribution.

"Tell us, slave FX, when your master gets a hold of these weapons, can you sneak 1 or 2 out for us to see?" 

Instantly, Eliticus's heart skipped a beat. 

F***! 

Are they staying to kill him? In the meeting, it was said that each weapon would be marked. (Sort of like a serial number.)

It could be LS-0000001 or Long Spear 0000001.

Or maybe Twin Sword (TS) 0000000.

Hey, he didn't know how the markings would be done but according to the host, this was so if the weapon is found in enemy hands they can trace it back to which camp jad the weapon.

From there, finding rats and spies would be easier.

Eliticus himself was going to order these weapons.

Don't you see? They will be under his fake name, under his identity here in Adonis, and under his control.

Adonis does not smile nicely to any general, monkard, battlefield, Thaman, Kardinal or any in high positions that show signs of weakness like losing such important weapons. 

Even if he wasn't the one who took it, he would be sanctioned so heavily, it would shock the masses. 

No way! 

No matter what anyone said, Eliticus knew he had to prevent these people from the rebellion from hitting his corner!
