At first, 500 Many in One units lined up in a single row and charged toward Rome's city walls.
The Many in One units were fast. Once they reached firing range, they trained their cannons on the walls and opened fire.
The walls of Rome were protected by a barrier. The bombardment struck it and caused slight ripples, but the barrier remained completely undamaged.
Before long, the Many in One units seemed to undergo some kind of change, and their bombardment gained an additional fire attribute.
When it struck the barrier, flames immediately spread across its surface, showing signs of wear.

Next came 1,000 puppet soldiers. They knew only how to obey orders, advancing step by step beneath the hail of arrows and javelins until they reached the foot of the walls.
