Everyone wore two short blades at their waists and carried a crossbow-shaped weapon on their backs. A transparent crystal was set into each helmet, with a faint glow flowing within.
The Soul Army.
The Soul Army, which the Heaven Dou Empire had poured all its resources into building, had finally arrived.
This army was not large, numbering only three thousand, but every one of them was an elite chosen from hundreds.
Their equipment was the crystallization of the Heaven Dou Empire's highest secrets—full sets of Second-Grade Soul Tools, every piece forged by the craftsmen of the Heavenly Workshop.
