The Nexus ship descended gracefully into the much-developed Terra City, revealing a landscape adorned with predominantly yellow-stoned structures, each designed with a unique touch that bespoke the planet's identity. As the ship approached the city, the modernized urban sprawl unfolded beneath, showcasing the result of significant changes and advancents.
Klea, who hadn't visited in a few years, marveled at the changes that had taken place since her last visit. The once-familiar areas had undergone a significant transformation, a testant to Ery's commitnt to turning Terra City into a formidable faction base. The residential and comrcial zones, which were previously situated between the palace and the teleportation gate, had been systematically relocated two miles to the east. This expansion stretched toward a highway leading to the neighboring Raven City.
In the wake of this restructuring, the space around the teleportation gate and extending toward the Terra Palace had been ticulously adorned with beautiful gardens.
Solid fortress-like structures, strategically positioned created a protective boundary around the central hub, leading to the palace next to the hills where stood a magnificent statue of the city's Hero and founder.
Ery's decision to focus on security reflected his commitnt to making it a formidable faction base at Terra City. The result was a harmonious blend of aesthetics and functionality, setting the stage for the next chapter for Earth faction.
The Nexus ship touched down gracefully in the newly constructed secured hangar, surrounded by a fleet of various ships, including the formidable Terra battleship that often accompanied them into battle.
As Ery, Gwen, Klea, and Morgana disembarked from the Nexus ship, they were greeted by a contingent of saint-level guards, their disciplined ranks led by a familiar face. Camila, the third widow of Lord Izta, stepped forward with an open smile, radiating warmth in her welco.
"Brother Ery, welco back," she greeted Ery warmly and turned to Klea, giving her a heartfelt hug. "Sister Klea, it's been a while."
Camila had taken charge of Terra's security, utilizing her scientific expertise to enhance and operate the city's defense systems to their full potential. Aware of the incoming flight and recognizing it as their young lord, she had co to personally welco him.
With a curious glance toward the speechless Gwen, Camila inquired, "So, where are you heading today?"
Ery turned toward Gwen, who was still absorbing the surroundings, then decided, "The usual place first."
Camila's smile widened at Ery's response as she guided them through the intricately designed structures towards the hill where the imposing statue of Lord Izta stood. The breathtaking view of Terra City unfolded before them, providing a picturesque backdrop for the ensuing conversation.
Ery began by paying his respects to the hero's statue, a tradition that held profound significance for him. As they stood before the monunt, Ery narrated the tale of the great hero whose na had nearly faded into obscurity within Earth's history. Gwen listened with surprise, realizing that the roots of Terra City traced back to their own heritage, with Earth's ancient legend now immortalized in the city's foundation.
Unlike other cities with bustling markets and entertainnt venues, Terra City held a unique charm in its focus on developnt and security. Ery led Gwen and the two girls through the evolving city, showcasing the new facilities that were integral to its growth.
One notable establishnt was the Terra Barrack, strategically positioned next to the palace. What was once the training ground for Ery and Klea in preparation for the Magus Academy had now expanded tenfold in size, a testant to the city's commitnt to nurturing its defenders.
As they stepped into the expansive yards of the Terra Barrack, a sight greeted them that surpassed expectations. A disciplined and formidable force of over 3000 personnel stood in precise formations, a testant to the efficiency of Magus Camila's command. The news of Ery's arrival had spread quickly, prompting the warriors to assemble swiftly.
The Terra forces were organized into three divisions, each comprising 1000 Sky Realm warriors in silver uniforms, 100 Saint Realm warriors adorned in golden attire, and 10 magus. The convergence of 30 magus, all proudly displaying the emblem of Terra City, created a breathtaking spectacle.
"Attention!! Salute to Lord Ery!!"
The rhythmic sound of boots hitting the ground and the clinking of armor echoed through the yards was an impressive display.
Commanding this remarkable force was Magus Grisa, the Fourth widow of Lord Izta, a fierce berserker with wild curls and a colossal axe resting on her shoulder. Under her leadership, the 3000-strong force greeted their lords with precision and discipline that resonated through the formation. This sight particularly overwheld Gwen, as even the lowest-ranked warriors emanated an aura of strength maybe even stronger than herself.
After the formal welco, Magus Grisa guided the group on a tour of the Terra Barrack. The expansive training grounds were equipped with cutting-edge facilities and magical training equipnt. Magus Grisa, who had earned a reputation for her prowess in battle, shared insights into the training routines and the camaraderie among the warriors, emphasizing her commitnt to nurturing a powerful and well-prepared force.
During the tour, Magus Grisa explained that an additional division, the Fourth Division, was currently on patrol. Coupled with 1000 city guards, Terra City boasted a formidable defense force of 5000 strong warriors, ensuring the security and stability of their burgeoning ho.
Ery expressed satisfaction and engaged in a conversation with the formidable berserker. "How are you keeping up with your post?" Magus Grisa responded with unwavering enthusiasm, expressing the restlessness of the warriors under her command and their eagerness for action. "The n are ready for any mission; they can't wait to show their strength," she declared with a hint of excitent.
"Very well," Ery acknowledged, assuring her that he would discuss potential assignnts with the other sister later. As he turned to leave, Magus Camila, inquired about their next destination.
"So are we going to the palace now? Sister Rosia and Silica are still in training, let inform them first"
Ery, with a raised hand, replied, "Not now, I have another place to visit."
Camila, with a slight chuckle, remarked, "Yes, of course, you do."
This cryptic exchange imdiately caught Klea's attention, and she couldn't resist asking, "What is it? Tell ." Her curiosity heightened, especially since Morgana seed to be privy to the information.
Camilla responded, "It's better if you see for yourself."
