"Competition fuels progress; each challenge drives us closer to excellence.." Seeing the situation in Greater Terra, this phrase flashed through Sebastian's head.
Since the era of Kai, finally, this chaotic world has been renewed once again. Earlier, most of the technology and theories were all in the hands of the royal family and three institutes, so only a few things circulated among the people. This was the most important reason why the various fields were not popular throughout the Imperium!
But this situation had improved with the loss of the three institutes, so the rapid development of various fields nowadays was also known as the Technology Recruitment era. The hundreds of years of accumulation burst out in an instant.

Boom-!
A loud noise rang out in an isolated area. Seeing this amazing scene, Vale covered his buzzing ears, with shock and disbelief in his eyes. In this world, there was such a powerful weapon.
On the territory of Vale, a gunpowder experiment was conducted there at that time. Gunpowder at this time had already developed to the stage of yellow gunpowder, and it was more powerful than black powder.
"Brother." At this time, Miles came over with an anxious face and said in an urgent voice: "It's not good, our research here has been discovered by those of the Dubois Family."
"What?" Vale was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "How did it get discovered? This place is very hidden."
Miles said hatefully, "One of the refugees betrayed us and leaked what happened here to those of the Dubois Family, and they're already rushing over with their men. Brother, what should we do now?"
The Dubois Family was in the Southwest and it was one of the largest families.
"Both of you, don't panic." A voice suddenly came.
Vale and Miles turned their heads to look, and a person in white walked over. There was a smile on his face as if he was an expert, next to him was Barnes.
"Mr. Masson, you're finally here." Vale was overjoyed.
This person in white was Masson from Harpsevain.
Nearly 100 Scientists from the three institutes joined and soon researched a variety of powerful weapons, and the ambition to make Vale unwilling to stay behind others burned even more fiercely. Yesterday, Vale sent Barnes to ask Masson to come out of his home, to be his advisor. He didn't expect him to arrive today.
"Mr. Masson, what should we do about this? The people from the Dubois family are coming to us soon." Miles was impatient, so he asked immediately.
Masson smiled faintly but did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned his head and swept his eyes over the flat ground where the explosion had occurred.
He smiled and said, "Mr. Vale, with such a weapon, why bother with those people?"
"Mr. Masson, you mean..." Vale's eyes widened as he realized.
Masson smiled faintly.
Vale, who was always used as a puppet by local officials and big families, reversed at the same time by using yellow gunpowder. He set up an ambush for the Dubois Family and the 500 men who stormed over, they were blown to pieces on the spot.
Under Masson's suggestion, Vale did his best to mobilize as many men as he could. A team of 500 people directly charged toward the largest city in the southwest region, Paris.
Taking advantage of Paris City's lack of defense, they defeated three hastily arriving armies in a row with the power of gunpowder and flintlock. Finally, the city lord's mansion was breached. The local officials, the Dubois Family, and a few other large families were all captured. They were executed on the spot.
"To claim your place at the top, you must cast aside any softness and embrace resilience." These were Masson's words of caution.
Vale closed his eyes. After struggling and hesitating for a long time, he ordered the execution! After these people had just been eliminated, the other forces quickly surrendered, and no one dared to resist.
Vale successfully took over the entire City and became the Lord of the Southwest Region but because of the bloodshed, it aroused the dissatisfaction of some local people in the southwest. But this was an afterthought, in the midst of the chaotic world.
Vale was assisted by Scientists and Masson and he took the lead in the race for supremacy.

"My lord, if we want to pay the least price and gain this Bukgan City, we have to wait a little longer." Inside the tent, Gregor was pointing at a map and said that to Abel.
"Do we have to wait?" Abel looked anxious. He kept walking around and said, "In the southwest region, Vale has already occupied Paris, can I wait any longer?"
As for Vale, Abel had always looked down on him. Although the other party was the uncle of the current emperor, there were a lot of royal disciples in the previous generation, so the name of this royal uncle was not worth anything!
Abel himself was the eldest son of the Abel family of this generation and he considered himself competent. He was just a small general because no one appreciated him. This trip to the southwest region to suppress the rebellion gave Abel a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Don't rush, don't rush." Gregor said, "There's no rush for the great cause of the world. Bukgan City has many strong Guards, if we fight recklessly, even if we can win in the end, it would be a tragic victory."
Abel was helpless. Although he was anxious, he was still more receptive to the opinions of others, so he could only endure it for the time being.
***
Three days later, the opportunity finally came.
The Lord of Bukgan City went out to fight the bandits and these so-called bandits were Abel's men. The time had come, when Abel led more than 600 of his men straight to Bukgan City. Abel came from a big family, in addition, he was also a small general, so he gathered a lot of heroes during this time and pulled together a decent team.
The main forces of Bukgan City were taken away by the city lord, so only some old and sick people were left behind. Abel's side occupied the city without much effort, he even released a few men to report the news.
The Lord of Bukgan City who heard the news was shocked and hastily led the team back, Abel had already arrived in a long and deep valley with his team. They also set up an ambush on their way. Abel also developed yellow gunpowder.
The method of making yellow gunpowder had long been known, it was just a matter of equipment and raw materials. With the full support of Abel, it was naturally produced quickly, so there were more than a hundred Flintlock rifles.
The army of Bukgan City had a total of 2,000 men but after being caught off guard, nearly half of them were killed and injured by gunpowder on the spot. Subsequently, under the powerful attack of the flintlock rifle, they could not resist at all. Even the Lord of Bukgan City was hit by a bullet in the neck, it didn't take long for him to die.
The remaining soldiers of Bukgan City dismounted and surrendered.
"Hahahaha ..." Seeing the soldiers of Bukgan City kneeling on the ground, Abel couldn't help but laugh with excitement.
"Get up quickly, you were just following the wrong master." After Abel made some false statements, he gathered these soldiers under his name.
He became the leader of the Northwest Region, as he occupied Bukgan City. So far, there is a relatively clear situation.
***
In the Greater Terra Capital, Max, who heard this news, was furious.
"Abel, Vale, these two criminals dare to write a letter saying that they have no choice but to respond to the public sentiment?" Max looked at Abel and Vale's letter and he wanted to tear it to pieces on the spot.
Abel and Vale were at the suggestion of Masson and Gregor, there was no direct flag, instead, a hypocritical letter was sent to the court. Saying that it had to be done for some special causes.
"Where is Tate Achilles?" Max shouted.
"Your son is here, what is the order of the foster father?" A tall, handsome young man came in.
Seeing this young man, there was a hint of satisfaction in Max's eyes. He was an adopted son and his name was Kendall Achilles.
"Achilles, Abel, and Vale dare to make trouble. You have to lead the team and take their heads back." Max ordered.
"Yes, foster father." Achilles took the order without hesitation.
The focus of Max's forces had to move to the west because of the actions of Abel and Vale, this also led to the pressure on the uprising troops in the east and southeast plummeting, so lots of teams started to emerge again.
In the southeast zone around a large lake, there were many teams. The team leaders gathered and they were discussing together about the next battle.
In a remote part of the lake, a young man with a poor appearance was standing and looking at the big lake in front of him. With a burst of emotion in his heart, he picked up a pendant that had been hanging around his neck. To be precise, it was a token.
This young man named Damian Fujimori couldn't help but think: "This token, it is said that it was passed down from the ancestors when they used to follow Emperor Kai, went to heaven, and fought alongside the gods. And this token is the reward of the gods."
"Fighting alongside the gods?" Thinking about this, Fujimori was fascinated.
Thinking again about his current situation, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed and lonely. In the big picture, Fujimori also led the people around him to resist because his ancestors were from the Astra Militarum.
