Wallwalker's Fourth and Final Trial Begins

Before the Blood Moon rose, the perimeter of Blacktooth Old Quarry had already been sealed off.

A Legion Recorder stood at a makeshift recording table, reading out the records of Wallwalker's first three trial phases from the master ledger while the craftsmen completed their final checks.

Three trial phases had already been conducted. This was the fourth and final one.

The first phase focused on travel through mud, freeing the tracks when stuck, and heavy impacts from the side.

Wallwalker crossed the prepared mud and kept its hull and operator's cabin stable after the impact. This confirmed the construct's mobility and the protection provided by its armor plates.

The second phase completed the Short-Range Rune Cannon trial.

The Tear Knight Master Workshop reinforced the cannon mount and used multiple recoil tests to adjust the power-conducting magic patterns and the hull's load-bearing capacity, making Wallwalker capable of carrying a heavy rune weapon.

The third phase extended beyond Tear Knight City.

Wallwalker completed a long-distance drive, crossed slopes and military bridges in succession, and underwent field repairs by engineers during a simulated breakdown.

The first three phases focused on Wallwalker's own structure and functions.

With the fourth phase underway, it would enter combat for the first time, moving into a real Demonic Beast nest and fighting an entire battle under the Blood Moon's influence.

Herman, deputy commander of the Third Legion, was in charge of field command. The Legion had been deeply involved in the trials since the second phase, and he had been one of those responsible.

Lorenz and Victor represented the Tear Knight Master Workshop. They led craftsmen stationed at the recording and repair areas to monitor Wallwalker's condition during combat.

The trial site was Blacktooth Old Quarry, north of Tear Knight City, a location carefully chosen by the Reconstruction
