The Path to Lordship Begins in the North

Myron didn't actually want to come to the Solon Continent. After all, as long as he stayed on the Mu Continent, he could have retired and lived a life of leisure until he died, given his status.

Myron's original plan was to take a break and study power armor, become a power armor repairman, and retire behind the scenes. After all, although he was a high-level professional, Myron was not a person who particularly liked fighting.

There's also that little refrigerator mounted on the power armor's shoulder armor; High Priestess Lilith seems to really like it. If Sauron hadn't come, Myron would probably be discussing the construction and promotion of the new beverage factory with the High Priestess right now.

However, upon hearing that they would be crossing the Sea of ​​Impermanence and collecting and studying the unique magic of the continent of Soron, Sidney, who was originally immersed in the research institute, suddenly became interested.

Because Sidney's research had hit a bottleneck, after discussing the nature of magic with His Majesty the Emperor who had returned from the heavens, Sidney suddenly became very interested in the Sea of ​​Impermanence and developed the Black Sail Engine based on it. He then enthusiastically requested to join the fleet to explore other magic on the continent of Sauron. Reluctantly, Myron had to take Hammond's place and come here with Sidney.

Myron wasn't actually good at commanding legions in combat. Before coming here, he consulted Hammond, who was of a much lower rank than him, and he always wore power armor, ready to cover for him at any time. However, it seems that he no longer needs to cover for him.

The armored forces stormed into Domingo's Castile almost in a crushing manner, without stopping or hesitating, and even methodically advancing without giving the enemy any chance to resist.

Although the tanks in these armored units were only light due to ocean transport and reassembly, they were still far beyond the reach of lords who were still basically at a medieval level, and ordinary militia units didn't even have the right to give them a second glance.

"You mean all the defenses have fallen? The enemy has already breached our city walls?"

Domingo's tone was filled with disbelief.

"Yes, yes, their steel monsters seem to never rest, Your Majesty. I did my best to get back."

Miguel was in a terrible state. He didn't want to run back to report, but he had no choice. The group of steel monsters behind him seemed to never stop. They chased Miguel without rest and he could only be driven back to Domingo's location.

All of this happened too fast. You have to understand that intelligence transmission on the continent of Soren is basically done on foot. When the armored forces were at the city gates, Domingo didn't even have time to ask the Dragon Church for help.

"Organize the professionals in the city, we'll counterattack immediately! And send someone to request reinforcements from the dragons, quick!"

Domingo was sweating profusely, but now he still wanted to struggle a little longer. Just then, the roar of artillery came from outside, and armored forces were already attacking the large castle that Domingo was still building.

Domingo actually wanted to surrender, but he couldn't just surrender now; surrendering now would only make him a prisoner. He had to hold on a little longer and try to get better terms for surrender.

But before Domingo could give the order, someone came in to report: "What do you mean the professionals were all wiped out by a red guy in huge armor who could move at three times the speed?"

Domingo stood there, stunned.

One of the professional knights was kicked into the wall by Myron, who charged in alone, and couldn't be pulled out. Myron didn't hold back because Sean's order was to be fast, to take down Domingo with the fastest speed and the most violent means.

Domingo wasn't without the support of high-level professionals, but the professional who met him immediately sensed how terrifying Myron was and surrendered. The higher the professional's rank, the clearer they could feel how terrifying Myron was, especially with that power armor he wore.

The armored forces stormed into the luxurious castle, which was still under construction, as if they were attacking from a lower dimension. Many craftsmen hadn't even had time to evacuate and were staring blankly at the armored forces that drove into the castle.

Alonso was just as shocked as Domingo when he heard the news, but he reacted quickly and immediately took his men to find Domingo, hoping to hand him over to surrender in order to appease the invading Imperial forces. Of course, a dead Domingo would be best, so that all the blame could be placed on Domingo.

However, the Imperial forces advanced too quickly, and were almost completely wiped out before the professionals could even stop them. The Imperial forces captured the place before Domingo Castile surrendered.

So much so that Alonso and Domingo ended up tearing at each other as they walked out of the inner city and onto the outer square of the castle where the armored troops were parked.

Alonso preemptively knelt before Myron and said, "Great imperial envoy, this is the false king Domingo. He is tyrannical and has threatened our family. If we do not support him, we will all be wiped out. You must stand up for our family!"

Domingo, who had been so composed when discussing the situation with Alonso, said in a disheveled manner, "No, the great imperial envoy, it was this man who instigated me to declare myself king. I have all the records from back then. They wanted to become the shadow family that controlled Castile. I was just being used by them!"

Myron wasn't interested in the two men, but instead looked at the craftsmen building the castle. After all, the two men were to be handed over to Sean, but the craftsmen who were standing there dumbfounded had tools and skills that had never been seen before on the continent of Mu. Moreover, although these composite materials were not strong enough, Sidney might be interested in them.

Seemingly noticing Myron's gaze shifting towards the castle, Alonso suddenly slapped his forehead, knelt down, and said, "This is an important territory connecting Castile to the outside world. As long as we occupy it, we will have a steady stream of tax revenue. General, you are exceptionally brave and valiant. Why should you submit to others? With your abilities, it is not impossible for you to carve out your own territory on the continent of Solon. Our family will use all our strength to help you plan this great undertaking."

Upon hearing Alonso's words, Myron immediately shuddered and ordered the soldiers around him to gag Alonso and drag him away.

Separatism? Myron's soldiers would mutini immediately if he dared to nod. Even if he did manage to establish a separatist regime with his high-level professional strength, without the Empire's supplies from the port, these tanks and his power armor would soon become a pile of scrap metal.

Thinking about the technologies being developed on the continent of Mu and the white light falling from the sky, Myron silently prayed to the goddess in his heart.

How quickly did Domingo fall? News of its fall spread faster than anywhere else. For the first time, the Empire displayed its iron fist on the continent of Soren, leaving the dragons and neighboring countries completely bewildered and caught off guard.

The rebels vanished overnight, and the demons who were still lending money in other areas stopped pressing for repayment and fled even more frantically to the outskirts.

The nations that had been poised to act instantly calmed down, and the remaining six Castiles also fell silent.
