In the months that followed, the faithful gathered in Heisai State, excluding some children under the age of 20 and a portion of engineers with exceptional technical and technological capabilities, underwent surgery one by one and were transformed into Descendant Soldiers.
The loyalty of these soldiers was beyond question. Even the elderly, after the surgeries, returned to the peak of their human condition, equivalent to a rejuvenation.
The scale of this batch of soldiers was bigger than the first, with numbers soaring to more than 900,000. They were incorporated into the Descendant Armies of various Knights, and the total number had reached a staggering 4 billion.
