Everyone watched the countdown in the vision with nervousness and expectation.[5...4...3...2...1...Release.]Up in space, the platform activated a propellant and released the carrying mechanism, allowing a missile to fly out on its path.[5 minutes to detonation...][4 minutes...][2 minutes...][20 seconds to detonation...]When it got to this point, everyone could almost see the missile up above them. The missile was big, being nearly 30 meters long and 7 meters wide. It didn't look like anything special, just a round cylinder of metal. But Dream, Luna, and Iris knew what utter destruction it was capable of.Soon, the missile got closer to the detonation point.[5...4...3...2...1...Ignition.]*Flash**Bͫ̋̌ͤ̽҉̧͖̗̞̤͞OO̞̮̒͛M̟̲͓̙̬ͅ*"..."Above the kingdom was a second sun.This nearly 14 km wide fireball encapsulated the entire castle plus the nearby city. And everything outside of the fireball... well, it was annihilated with the explosion.Everyone was silent as they watched the sho

*Fwoosh!*The 4 archers beside Dream loosed their arrows before he even finished his sentence. And like beams of light, all four arrows headed straight for the demon that failed to kill the fighter."Growl..."Sensing the danger, the assassin demon separated himself from the fighter and disappeared. All four arrows hit the ground only a split second later, exploding with their spells."Damn."The archers cursed having missed their target. While those arrows probably could've killed the assassin, its agility was extremely high and they had to deal with its fast reactions. That was hard to do when they were far away. Their arrows were fast, but not that fast.But when Dream saw this, he knew he could help. While those archers needed distance to gather power and mana for their arrows, his guns were the opposite. The closer the better. So he dashed over to the airspace above the battle with his flux-railgun, waiting for the assassins to appear again.At this point, the demons had lost 8 w

The cardinal sat there for a bit as Dream pondered."...Alright, Cardinal. How do you plan to make yourselves and forces known?"Hearing him, the Cardinal smiled and got to business."Well, we have many forces that we wish to move to the Mercenary Empire so they can be put on the frontlines.""That won't be difficult. I'll talk to the Emperor. And you know what, why don't you bring all the other Cardinals over there? Since we fought a battle, everyone is still there. You would be able to introduce yourselves.""I have no problems with that. But it would take some time to fly there.""Not with my ships. Here's what we'll do. I'll give you a ship that you will take to your holy city. There you will gather your Cardinals and use the same ship to fly to the Mercenary Empire. If none of your Cardinals are slow, you should be able to arrive in the next hour or so.""...That may be possible.""If it is, then do it. Oh, and take these."Suddenly, Dream brought out a cylinder about 2 feet long

The next day, Dream, Luna, and Iris left the dome and boarded a ship, heading for the Mercenary Empire.Upon arrival, they found that the Pope, Cardinals, and all the class 4's were already outside and waiting. Of course not absolutely everyone was there. There were a few Cardinals and class 4's of the Empire that would stay behind.Dream's ship landed and the hatch opened. The Emperor and Pope walked over to him."Dream.""Pope. Emperor. Everyone can come aboard. If it's too cramped, there's the other ship right there.""Sure."Nodding, the two came aboard, as did some of the Cardinals and class 4's. Though not wishing to stuff everyone in one place, half of the people went to the other ship Dream had prepared.When everyone was loaded, they took to the sky. Their destination had already been decided, and they were headed to the Sword School.Lounging around the luxurious ship, the Pope and Emperor turned to Dream who had a woman by his side and a fox on his lap."Dream. Who might th

Over the next few days, Dream had begun rolling out huge batches of communication bracelets to the Empires and Church. And having been prepared for this, they were quickly distributed.In the Mercenary Empire, the Emperor had given bracelets to everyone from the top of the hierarchy down. This meant generals, admirals, politicians, government administrators, class 3 combatants, and more. Everyone was quickly given a bracelet, and they didn't have to worry about somebody important not getting one since there were a few hundred thousand that came in.This was what happened for the other Empires and Church as well. They gathered everyone and handed out this technology, which upon being equipped, would carry each person through a profile setup.This profile setup took everyone's name and assigned them a number. It was similar to a phone, and once they had given the bracelet all their details, they were allowed to attain contacts from others who had this bracelet as well.Not even an hour
