"Alright." Dayev clenched the emblem in his hand, nodded heavily, and then followed the city defense soldiers to his assigned defense zone.
Standing atop the city tower, the city defense officer waved the military flag and shouted loudly: "Hear my command! Activate the Alchemy Matrix!"
"Boom—"
The soldiers below the city strained to turn the capstans, activating the alchemy matrix within the runestone bastion, causing dozens of hexagonal force field shields with a diameter of a hundred meters to appear outside the city walls.
