Chapter 608  Waltzing in an Enemy Fortress

In the massive barren wastelands of the top layer of the massive Orbital were several low-tech cars moving through the ground and kicking dust up the air.

A strange, beat-up car drove madly and, moving with great haste and approached a city that had built its massive fortress on the mountain range. It was a large settlement that had built itself on the highest peak and attempted to use its height to observe the nearby regions.

The Pioneers had established this city as part of the orders of another Presider.

Some of the cities that remained had support from Presiders and created fortresses to mine and gather materials from the mountains that were naturally creating metals and other important resources.

The Pioneer watching the scanners had already alerted his supervisors of the coming vehicles that were outdated and old.

"From what old garage did these guys find their vehicle? Those things are laughably weak!" The Pioneer laughed.

"We've scanned the vehicle. It barely has any function to fight back. What do we do, Commander?"

"They are moving here out of desperation. It's amazing how they managed to reach here without being attacked. But this also means... that they are being chased. Don't shoot and allow them to reach our gates. Capture them and detain them." The Pioneer Commander answered.

Inside the car, Harker, Vender, and Gardo were amazed that the ship didn't shoot at them.

"You're right! I thought you were lying! You really could do that!" Harker was amazed.

"Ranged, unspoken deception! Your thoughts affect reality, and without saying anything, you can already lie?!" Gardo was very impressed.

"How does this work? Try to make me think you're a chicken." Vender frowned.

"It doesn't work that way. The powers of lies have to have their foundations. In this example, I chose a vehicle with wheels and some Mad Max-inspired design. This was the lie. Of course, like any lie I make, it's a gamble. There risk a chance of being found out."

"And you were confident you're bet would win?"

"Yes. I could tell that there was an incredibly high chance that they would believe my lie!" Lowengren chuckled.

"Since when did you have this? You didn't use it in our mock battle!"

"Actually, I did. I awakened it in our interstellar battles. You guys didn't notice because it cannot affect you. But those weaker soldiers were manipulated. You are too strong with your zone so that this lie won't affect you. But the rest believed that my movements would be different."

"So that's why they fell out of the ranks!" Gardo realized it.

"So what's the lie that you made them believe?" Vender asked.

"That we are fleeing from an enemy and are desperately looking for a place to hide. They will capture us because they think that we would bring unnecessary trouble to our fort."

"So we let them capture us?"

"Of course not! Don't you see the power of unspoken lies? It was their fault to have assumed this. And because of that, we can make another lie." Lowengren chuckled.

The car approached the massive gates that were the main entrance into the mountains. The gates were over a hundred meters tall and spanned a long way over the mountain. This thick gate had many weapons ready to shoot and kill.

Although everyone inside the car was confident that they could somehow escape the rain of attacks this wall could make, it would take significant effort and a battle to get themselves inside.

But now, this gate slowly opened.

Several armed exoskeletons and numerous massive towering robots appeared.

And a gigantic orb appeared floating over them.

"A Compact Class Gargantuant..." Gardo frowned.

"Prepare to make an entry. We won't be presenting ourselves as weak but as someone very strong!"

The car slowly drove in as the armies continued to take aim at the ship.

But suddenly, numerous parts of the car were damaged and suddenly began to explode.

The car tried to move forward, but for every meter, it advanced, more parts would be destroyed, and a strange thick mist filled the nearby area.

"Whoever is inside that car, get out!" The soldier spoke.

"Get... out? You treat a Presider's ambassador like that?" Lowengren's voice echoed out of the speakers.

"What?!" The soldiers nearby were surprised.

"A Presiders Ambassador?! Identify yourself!" An Exoskeleton demanded.

"Are you... all idiots? Aren't you the members of Presider Stevos?! Were you not informed of our arrival?!"

At that moment, many Exoskeletons nearby began to tremble and fall down.

The pilots of the nearby tanks and ships were also affected.

"Ahhh!"

"Noo!"

Screams were heard around them, and everyone was confused.

With the developments in Realm and the power to combine Paths, the Unlocked army had developed a mist that would allow the Reaper's Breath to seep into the gears and ships.

The Reaper's Breath was a powerful tool that could cause soldiers to fall into fear as they would feel the killing intent. The Mist was a creation that allowed this power to finally be useful as most Pioneers would never face it in the face of battle due to their protective suits that prevented the pheromones of fear from invading their suits.

Lowengren deployed the mist, and no one was alarmed at the bangs and the mist that appeared as they all thought it was simply the destruction of the worn-out war rig.

The Pioneer Commander, who was the leader of the mountain, saw the screens and was shocked.

"If you shoot us, you wage war with Presider Renkerdis!" Lowengren's voice was heard.

Suddenly, the roof of the war rig blew off.

Freakin' fog surged out as a domineering figure appeared out of the thick smoke.

He had a large cigar in his mouth. Though the Pioneers didn't know what it was, it added to his cool appearance.

His beard was perfect. His eyes were sharp. His body had numerous cuts and wounds.

"Who... is he?" The pioneer commander asked.

A woman nearby trembled as she saw his form.

"I don't know... But I feel that that is the most eye-popping eyebrow-raising, breath-taking, heart-stopping, spine-chilling, most amazing figure I've ever seen in my life.

Harker took a deep breath as the cigar was quickly being burnt up.

He blew a thick mist of smoke that took the form of a dragon.

"My name is Harker Cipril, the General of the Heroes Army." Harker introduced.

The grand, cool appearance of Harker caused everyone to pause, and no one could shoot. Harker was just too cool to shoot down, and the fear that they were who they claimed they were struck everyone's heart.

BANG!

A loud bang was heard, and the door was blown away.

A man with burning arms of fire walked out. Unlike Harker, he had clothes. And while his body was burning up, the rest of his clothes remained unburnt.

"The name's Fire Fist Gardo! And I will make Presider Renkerdis, the Presider King!" Gardo declared loudly as he gave a challenging look at every one.

"Lower your weapons. You will lose this battle if you want to fight." Harker glared.

"He's right. If you want to fight, you will all lose." Lowengren finally emerged from the thick smoke and moved out of the door that Gardo punched.

He had a dark uniform at first, but with a flash of his Realm, the Exoskeleton armor formed out of nothing and covered him.

Lightning energy, ice, desolation, and the winds churned around him.

Harker and Gardo kept their expressions but were inwardly surprised. They could feel it through Realm.

Lowengren used some of the harnessed weapons of the Overcomer's path, but these powers were deceived into thinking that the ones wielding them were the original owners of these powers!

"With his powers to lie... this makes Lowengren..." Harker was shocked.

"...A World Champion!" Gardo was also thinking the same thing that Harker thought.

"...Who are you, honored visitors?" The Pioneer Commander could not risk offending the men that revealed such shocking powers.

Lowengren glanced at everyone around and gave the introduction that he had wanted to give for the longest time but couldn't since he couldn't risk the Pioneers and Planted of the earth to know the reference.

"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Heroes Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Presider Renkerdis! Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next!"

"Ca-Calm down, honored General! We have not slain your family! We are not members of any Presiders but are a neutral group! We have dealings with both Presider Stevos and Unverrook, but we remain neutral to the war!"

Lowengren's visor opened and revealed his frowning face.

"Neutral? Supreme General! What do we do?" Lowengren asked. He knew that Vender would make an eccentric and strange entrance that would ruin the momentum of what he, Harker, and Gardo built. But, if he announced that Vender was their leader, it would make everyone respect Vender, regardless of what eccentric and strange things he said!

Harker and Gardo realized it and were greatly relieved.

"That fixes things..." Harker thought.

"Vender can't ruin that, can he?" Gardo thought.

To Lowengren, this was a battle as he wanted to overpower Vender's power and use him as a training ground.

"Beat that, Vender." Lowengren thought.

A figure could be seen moving out of the thick mist.

And finally, Vender's figure appeared.

"Rrrruuuuurrrr!"

Vender appeared wearing what apparently was a Chewbacca costume.
