The missionary camp built around the Energy Tower surprisingly had a rudimentary defense.
The perimeter of the camp was merely a low fence made of rough logs, with a few watchtowers pieced together from planks standing lonely at the corners of the camp, where the sentinels atop could even converse with passersby outside through the fence.
Such defensive facilities bear more resemblance to an open marketplace than a military outpost.
This seemingly lax defensive posture was by no means a sign of complacency from the Missionary Group.
After all, the accompanying guards were battle-hardened Steam Knights.
These iron warriors had marched from the icy fields of the Northern Territory to the scorching Desert Kingdom, then wandered back to the Old World, enduring unimaginably brutal battles.
They had witnessed firsthand the earth-shattering duel between the Godslaying Armor and the ancient Divine, fully aware of the terrifying threats lurking in this world.
