These people couldn't even control their own bodies, let alone the half-mechanized parts which were under the control of the Supreme Sage!
Even if there were a few with special Talents, those Chosen Ones who attempted to struggle using their Talents quickly found themselves facing squads of neatly arranged, fully armed warriors rushing towards them—the majority of the lower-class Desert Tower people were also under the control of the Supreme Sage!
The Supreme Sage was right, the entire civilization was a highly precise machine, and he was its sole controller.
He could control everything about this civilization just as one controls a machine.
And the rest of the Desert Tower people, since they had enjoyed the benefits of this control, must also endure the detriments that such control brought.
As long as the Supreme Sage believed that surrender would bring better results than war, such an outcome was inevitable.
