[Equipment]

Since his previous excursion and surveilance, he discovered that he had neglected this problem and rectified it. He requested this mission to the trusted people and there were no doubts that the army was involved. In the end, the House of Light were ones who stepped forward to assist him.

He handed them a bunch of array discs and asked them to install it to the locations he marked on the map, most of them required them to dig underground but the subordinates didn't mind.

It took a week for them to finish this task, and how Gabriel notified him that they're done.

[Me]: Thank you for your help. Please notify all the involved parties and tell them to meet me here (pinned location.jpg), I need to inform all of you about certain things before I start with this project.

[Archbishop Gabriel]: I'll notify them, then.

Cedric replied with a thumbs-up emoji before dismissing the message window. He then gently woke Aurelion up and said:

"Hey bud, return to your room first. Papa has to work for a bit."

'Mmkay!!' The sunlion replied drowsily before turning into a streak of light shooting straight to his room which was the beast space residing on Cedric's soul.

Once Aurelion was tucked in, Cedric himself turned into a streak of light. He went to the location he marked, but before leaving, he sent a message to girlfriends saying that he'd be out for work.

The location he marked on the map was actually under that very same mountain that he went to last week.

After making his plans, he figured that this was the best spot to become the center of this project. This mountain will inevitably transform because of what he's about to do. But it's for the best so he hoped that others and the mountain itself wouldn't mind.

He dug a small cave entrance on the base of the mountain which led to the dried up Spiritual Vein hidden at the depths of the mountain. He already finished setting up the things he needed here and he was just waiting for the rest.

About an hour later, Cedric felt several people entering the cave. He opened his eyes from his meditation. He stood up just in time to greet them politely.

"Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen. My name is Cedric Stormrider, thank you for accepting my invitation for this little project of mine."

Cedric spotted Lissandra, Fiona, Gabriel, and Charles within the people who showed up. They nodded back at him to return his greetings. Of course, there were more people he's meeting for the first time.

"Ah, so this is him, eh? Our Young Sage. What a dashing Young Man, must be popular with the ladies, he reminds me of myself when I was young, bwahahaha!!"

The one who spoke just now was a rugged looking old man. He dressed up shabbily and had an unrestrained aura about him. The only decent looking thing on him was the sword attached to his waist.

"Nice to meet you, Sir Jin. I'm a fan."

"Call me Old Jin, Young Cedric. I'm not too fond of formalities. Besides, if we publicize everything that you've done for us, I don't doubt that your prestige would be much greater than mine."

This was Old Man Jin - the Wandering Swordsman. One of the Star Travellers of Humanity. It's easy to dismiss him because of rougish appearance and hjs unrestrained attitude, but this old man was the most publicly revered Swordsman. He spends most of his time roaming the Azure Terra continent, honing his sword and skills in tough battles.

Because he doesn't stay too long within the civilization, he had no disciples to pass on his skills to. It was also said that he's not looking for one. It was rumored that he already passed his inheritance to Acala and allowed her to do what she thinks is best for it, that's why he's not worried about taking any disciples.

"I'm flattered." Cedric replied, he then turned to the men in uniform and felt a dominant aura on them. He gave them his salutations and said: "Greetings to you, High Marshals."

"At ease, Young Sage. We're not in the camp, you can speak comfortably with us." A High Marshal with short black hair and thick beard replied amiably. "My name is Raven Armstrong, High Marshal of the Northern Defense Wall."

"Anthony Selner, High Marshal of the Western Defense Wall." Said the ash blond man next to Raven.

"Cassandra Zephyrus, High Marshal of the Southern Defense Wall." A kind looking woman said standing on Raven's left side.

"Filius Greenwood, High Marshal of the Eastern Defense Wall. Nice to meet you, Young Sage." This one had a striking bright emerald hair and looked very young compared to his colleagues.

These four are the High Marshals of the Defense Walls, each one was as formidabble as the rest and the true pillars of Humanity.
