?Chapter 422: Chapter 422 Full-scale Attack Chapter 422: Chapter 422 Full-scale Attack “How do you find this fortress?” I asked Steer as we sat on the bench in front of the fountain in the cathedral district, looking up at the clear sky simulated by the pale blue energy shield above us.

Steer was silent for a moment, then let out a long, wistful sigh. “A miracle, a miracle beyond the limits of human imagination. 48 hours ago, I would have never imagined I’d have such an incredible experience… Ha, alien planets, that concept really shouldn’t be popping up in the mind of a member of the magic side, should it?”

“And ironically, those forces on the science side, which is opposite to you, are basically useless in this intergalactic war—don’t tell me you’re actually hung up on this?”

Steer seemed restless without his cigarettes, fumbling in his pocket and then letting his hand fall in dismay. “A habit formed over many years isn’t so easily broken, just like an addiction to smoking. I can’t just quit my disdain for the science side.”

I smiled slightly. “Well, at least you should have the concept that the Earth is round.”

“…Of course, do you take me for a fool?”

“Now let me tell you, the place where this Imperial fortress stands, this black death planet, is even larger than Earth, containing 37 times the amount of rare mineral resources found on Earth. And less than a month ago, it was populated by billions of powerful lifeforms. Three hundred million Insect warriors turned into fireworks beyond the skies above you, and one-tenth of their number would be enough to devastate any nation on Earth. Yet this planet is merely the most inconspicuous pebble in this star zone. In the era of the fiercest wars here, every day saw numerous such planets lighting up the universe as flashes of light. You may not have much impression of this, so look around you: those warriors from various worlds that might appear strange in your eyes, they are strong, resilient, each with their own great deeds of saving worlds, each of them heroes or even kings of their races. The strongest among them were once considered demigods, but here, at the Imperial front, they are all soldiers, warriors fighting for glory and victory. To put it bluntly, they are all fresh recruits!”

I patted Steer’s shoulder and stood up.

“You need to be aware. I heard a phrase that’s been circulating among the Holy Expeditionary Army here, and I’ll pass it on to you: ‘Here we witness our own insignificance and humanity’s shallowness.’ I mean no disrespect to humans, but I hope you understand that becoming legendary isn’t always about grand, lofty ambitions. Here you’d best let go of all your prejudices—those are seen as trivial jokes not even worth mentioning by the street sweepers here.”

Steer finally took out a cigarette decisively and, with a snap of his fingers to light it, took a deep drag before comfortably exhaling a long breath and murmuring, “Alright, Your Majesty, your words are quite blunt, making one quite uncomfortable. But I admit, I’m starting to agree with what you said… This is the end of the world, where any CD seller you bump into is of Savior Level, and nobody gives a damn about human trivialities… But no matter what, to think we’d be fighting in power armor… only you would come up with that.”

My face tightened subtly, then I gritted my teeth and said, “That CD seller… he’s nothing but a seller!”
