The Martial Unity

Rui heaved a sigh as he skimmed through a report that the Beggar's Sect had prepared for him. The report featured the result of his successful sabotage of the harvesting operation.

Apparently, he had pissed off the Carnil Mafia. That wasn't the objective, but it was an inevitable outcome. The Beggar's Sect reported that the Gereign base of operations had ceased all large-scale operations.

'Makes sense,' Rui mused.

There was no point in continuing large-scale operations when there were enemies who had demonstrated the proven ability to bypass all surveillance measures. It wasn't possible to build passive defenses against a Martial Senior, either.

Not for a moving squad in the middle of a forest. There were plenty of ways that solid stationary structures could be granted passive defenses at extremely high levels. There was a power that came with the sheer size and scale of infrastructure.

It was one reason Rui wanted to ensure that they didn't successfully build a base in the Great Forest of Hypnonarak. They would be able to completely secure such a building even from Senior-level attacks.

The reason for this was that defensive civil engineering in this world was leaps and bounds beyond that of Earth. Despite being constructed out of Squire-level substances, a building could be engineered with special esoteric substances that could allow it to survive by spreading and diluting the power of a Senior-level attack across every square inch of the structure.

Senior-level attacks could be reduced to the Squire Realm, which could then be
