The Martial Unity

He had never taken a mission centered around the destruction of property before. Not that such missions were rare, but they just usually weren't the kind of missions that Rui was interested in. However, this particular mission was interesting since it would involve breaking into a fort. Something he had never done prior.

He sat down at a table in the library he quickly read and memorized the information, adding all of it to his mind palace.

Fort Zurtun was a large fort surrounding the Town of Zurtun a small city-state colony of the Britannian Empire that was quite southwest of the Kandrian Empire. The fort was situated on a mountain, giving the location with strategic value as far as defense and security went. Attempting to overrun the fort would require scaling the mountain and facing the military forces of the fort uphill against Zurtun military on their home turf.

The military even consisted of Martial Apprentices, albeit no Martial Squires. They were a small force that was unable to produce their own Martial Squires because they lacked the scientific foundation to do so.

On top of that, the fort was armed with a Squire-grade weapon capable of unleashing vast amounts of destruction on a significant scale. Despite its great potential for destruction, the weapon was small compared to what it could unleash, this was possible thanks to the esoteric technology that went into it, making it easier to shift around and position appropriately in times of need. It was recently acquired by Fort Zurtun and it served as a deterrence to all those that wished to attempt a siege on Fort Zurtun.
