Imperial Marshal Sebastian was rumored to be a pure military man. "Soldiers should be in the barracks and on the battlefield at all times. is his famous quote.

Therefore, although in order to defend the imperial capital, the imperial military headquarters was set up in Kastaya, but he rarely stayed in the imperial capital, but was stationed outside all the year round: before the cataclysm, in order to guard against the mechanical kingdom of Bavaria, his station was on the border between the two countries all the year round, and after the cataclysm, his station was moved to the junction of the Sea of Mists and the Warcraft Forest on the east side of the continent, where he monitored the alien races hiding in the Warcraft Forest and the sea tribes in the sea at the same time, in case anyone was unfavorable to the empire.

No one knows what kind of level this imperial marshal's true strength has reached, only that since he took over as imperial marshal, he has participated in hundreds of battles, large and small, without a single defeat. His superb command ability can be called a generation of war gods.

People on the mainland have always been accustomed to calling the Lost Sword Saint Ofiras, one of the five strongest people in the world, the patron saint of the empire, in fact, those in the know know that Ophelas is not guarding the empire, but the royal Abelo family. The one who really defended the Empire was actually Marshal Sebastian.

The difference between the two is that Ophiras doesn't care about the empire, nor does he care if the Abel family is still the imperial family, he only cares about the safety of the Abel family, and doesn't care about their identity, whether it is the royal family or the common people, it doesn't matter to him at all, and he doesn't care about whether the empire is prosperous or not, otherwise he would not sit idly by and watch the Clare Kingdom and the Leding Confederation split from the empire, let alone allow the Duchy of Bavaria to rise strongly.

Imperial Marshal Sebastian has absolute loyalty to the Empire, he is only loyal to the Empire, no matter who sits on the throne, as long as that person can take on the responsibility of leading the Empire forward, he can win Sebastian's loyalty without reservation. In fact, this is the case with every Imperial Marshal, so the Imperial War Department is not really subordinate to the Crown, but to the Empire.

It is said that this is the policy established by Otto the Great at the beginning of the founding of the country, so as to ensure the long-term strength of the empire to the greatest extent, even if the blood of the Abelo family is cut off, the Eliat Empire will still be the most powerful force on this continent.

His Majesty the Emperors knew all about this, but the arrogant Emperor never took it to heart, he always believed that as long as the Emperor was strong enough, then all worries were superfluous, and as long as he sat on the throne, it was impossible for the Imperial Military Department to rebel. If one day the descendants of the Abe Luo family are no longer able to continue to hold the throne and are ousted by others, and there is also the Ophelas family to protect their safety, why not hand over the imperial throne to someone more capable? As long as the usurper is not stupid enough to change the name of the empire, he will still win the support of the entire continental human race.

It is precisely under the spur of this strange founding tradition that every emperor of the empire can be said to be a wise lord, and there is no such thing as a dumb man. The only regret is that the life expectancy of the royal family is generally not long, and the average life expectancy of the entire continent can reach 120 years old, but the general life expectancy of the royal family that started with martial arts cannot reach 100 years old. Many people say that this is the curse of the Lord of Light on the bloodline of the Abel family after the fall of the Holy Maiden Jessica to the empire.

......

"What, Imperial Marshal Sebastian himself appeared there?" Alfie and Celent exclaimed in unison.

"No one would have thought that Marshal Sebastian would lead the Empire's most elite fleet of mechs and warships around most of the continent, from the Sea of Mists along the great river to the Calus camp. Master Madison had an unbearable look on his face, "The mech battleship is loaded with the most advanced weapons of the Empire, and it is not at all something that the backward weapons and defenses of Camp Calus can withstand. ”

"The spectacular sight of a hundred mecha warships firing at the same time is something I'll never forget. The once-proud Camp of Calus was reduced to rubble almost after a volley. Master Madison sighed and continued, "I don't understand why there are such terrifying war machines in the Imperial Army, in front of those steel monsters, personal martial arts are a joke at all, even the powerhouses of the Holy Realm, if they don't have their own domain, they will definitely not be able to survive that kind of bombardment." It won't be long before you see these terrifying war machines at the opening of Port Royal at the opening celebrations. ”

"There's nothing strange about that. Such a scene was bound to come from the moment Augusta brought mechanical engineering back to life on the mainland. Unlike magic and martial arts, which enhance one's own strength and rely heavily on one's own talents, anyone can control powerful mechanical engineering creations, even unarmed women. Alfie, who inherited the legacy of mechanical engineering, is definitely qualified to say so, and he knows very well what it will look like when mechanical engineering is developed to the extreme. Mechanical engineering can bring ordinary people closer to the Sacred Realm to the greatest extent.

Alfie will not forget the time when he was on Kenobi, with the Robert I, a goblin who is despised by everyone and the weakest existence of the intelligent race on the continent, the fact that he can compete with the divine dragon is enough to show how terrifying mechanical engineering is. Alfie didn't even want to tell anyone about the scene after the development of mechanical engineering to the extreme, after the development of artificial intelligence, those mechanical engineering creations can even be controlled without "people", that is an out-and-out killing machine.

This is not alarmist, just look at the Robert series and you can see that Augusta is undoubtedly already on this path and has come a long way. It is no exaggeration to say that if the Robert series is combined with mechanical divine power, it already has the prototype of artificial intelligence, and when the artificial intelligence really takes shape, Augusta is definitely qualified to become the existence of the main god.

Alfie had a bold guess that the cataclysm fifteen years ago was the divine punishment of the gods who feared that mechanical engineering would continue to advance rapidly under the impetus of Augusta and threaten their position.

Had it not been for the unprecedented cataclysm fifteen years ago, which destroyed the Duchy of Bavaria, the existence of the current empire would still be a question.

So when Alfie heard Master Madison talk about mech ships, he wasn't the slightest bit surprised by the destruction of Camp Calus. It's a war that spans the ages, no, maybe it's not even a battle, and after just one salvo from the mech battleship, Camp Calus is already in ashes.

Alfie had seen the drawings of those mecha battleships in the inheritance of mechanical engineering, and understood how terrifying that kind of war weapon was, in this era, one was enough to cross the sea, but I didn't expect the empire to build a hundred ships!

Considering the opening of Port Royal soon after, it became clear what Rey III had done, and it seemed that after the inability to open a passage to the western continent by land, His Majesty the Emperor set his sights on the vast sea of mist, as legend has said.
