Moving… fortress…

Seeing the document in his hand, Rocky gradually widened his eyes and couldn’t help but look at Orton.

Obviously, when he and Karina were stunned earlier, Orton not only found the magic lamp but also other things, such as this document.

However, when Rocky looked at Orton, Orton paid no attention to the two but instead looked up at the steel fortress in front of him.

Seeing this, Rocky refocused his attention on the document and proceeded to open it.

“Greetings, successor.”

“I am Su Bin, director of the Kassin City Research Institute. If you are reading this document, you must have also seen the Moving Fortress we created. Congratulations, you have found the last legacy of the Wanzhong Kingdom.”

“I don’t know when you are reading this document. Perhaps the demons have already been eradicated, or perhaps not, but please read through this document in any case. These are my last words.”

The opening content of this document was not quite what Rocky imagined. It began with a self-introduction, explaining that the document was from the hand of the research institute’s director, and the words were strikingly similar to the Magic Energy Image left by Wensel back in the day. Clearly, this document was left by the director in his last moments.

Thus, Rocky and Karina quickly continued reading.

“Everything began in Era 1011, which was the year the nightmare started…”

As Rocky continued reading, he discovered that the document briefly introduced the event of demons taking over the land. It referred to 1011 as the year the nightmare began, as that was the year demons first appeared in the world.

Rocky and Karina had both read about the history of how demons appeared, so they quickly skimmed this part and turned to the next page to find the essential points.

“…After the Sky City project was completed, His Majesty the King gathered all those who participated in the Sky City development and shared his thoughts with us.”

“His Majesty believed that the idea of Sky City was good but merely an evasive choice, one that handed land over to the demons. Therefore, he hoped we would leverage the experience gained from developing Sky City to conduct new research, focusing not on how to escape, but on how to fight the demons.”

“I personally agreed with His Majesty’s thoughts. Having participated in the Sky City research firsthand, I was well aware of how many people a Sky City could accommodate—only fifty thousand, which is the limit. How could such a city possibly save everyone? In my heart, I supported His Majesty.”

“However, while I supported him in my heart, I was also worried because Sky City was not a product of a single nation’s research but of all countries banding their resources and efforts together. A project of this magnitude would be impossible for Wanzhong Kingdom to complete on its own.”

“Nevertheless, His Majesty had made up his mind and even gambled entirely by giving up the opportunity to enter Sky City himself. When even His Majesty did so, what more could we say?”

“Soon after, an ultimate project to fight the demons was proposed, known as the Moving City Plan!”

“As the name implies, the ultimate aim of this plan was to enable the cities we currently reside in to have mobility, to arm the entire city and transform it into a massive fortress capable of moving freely on land to combat the invading demons.”

“The inspiration for this project naturally came from Sky City, and even the technology was identical to it. This made our research relatively easier, as everyone involved in this project, including myself, had previously participated in the Sky City project and accumulated extensive experience in research.”

“But as I mentioned, this project was immense, so large that even with the nation’s full power, completing it would be difficult. Moreover, something else caught us off guard—the demons advanced too quickly.”

“Our initial plan was to complete the first Moving City within two years and use that as a foundation for further research. However, the speed of the demon attack was beyond everyone’s expectations. In just six months, the demons had overrun a neighboring country and surged into our territory.”

“This made all of us realize one thing: the Moving City project was doomed to fail. There was not enough time, nor enough manpower and resources. Thus, we were compelled to alter our plan, changing from the Moving City Plan to the Moving Fortress Plan.”

“This plan was essentially a simplified version of the Moving City, and completing it would also create a powerful weapon against the demons. But as I said, we were out of time.”

“When the Moving Fortress plan was halfway through, the city of Kassin I was in was conquered by the demons. Although we researchers survived due to prior preparations, others…”

“Even though the city fell, we continued our research. By then, none of us were researching for the King but for ourselves and all the other residents who had died in the city. We had to build the Moving Fortress!”

“In such circumstances, we all worked tirelessly day and night, and finally, the Moving Fortress was built. Unfortunately, we still failed…”

“In building this fortress, we exhausted all the accumulated resources. Although the fortress was barely completed, there was no energy left to make it truly move… How ironic.”

“For this reason, I contacted His Majesty the King, hoping he could find a way to deliver a batch of Magic Stones, but I failed. Later, we tried using the Array’s mana to charge the fortress, but it turned out that the mana required by the fortress was too vast, and the Array’s mana was insufficient.”

“With this realization, there was only one thing left for me to do: write all this down in hopes that someone would find it.”

“If what I’ve written is discovered after the demons are defeated, then please put this document and the fortress outside into a museum. It can at least serve as proof of our efforts to resist the demons.”

“If the demons have yet to be defeated, please activate the fortress outside and let this steel-cast fortress fulfill its mission. Believe me, it will bring despair to the demons!”

“Note: All research materials related to the Moving Fortress are stored in the safe in my office. If needed, please take them as well.”

“Kassin City Research Institute Director: Su Bin.”
