Arrival and the Desert

Several military vehicles quickly stopped in front of the Eldia Third Regiment's Military Camp. More than a dozen fully armed Marley Soldiers were the first to get off the vehicles in front, and they stood in a neat line with their heads held high.

Next, a short, stout Marley Officer stepped out of the military vehicle. Despite his short stature, the Officer exuded a strong sense of arrogance, and the Colonel rank on his shoulder insignia was very conspicuous.

Indeed, the visitor was Colonel Koslow, who was leading the Warrior Candidate.

Koslow first looked at the dozen or so elite Marley Soldiers standing in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. These Soldiers were Garrison assigned to him by headquarters and were all elite Marley Soldiers from the Guard Corps.

Before Koslow arrived, he had heard rumors about the Eldia Third Regiment. A cannon fodder regiment? Indeed, wasn't this the perfect place to hone these Warrior Candidate? Captain Magath's methods were still too lenient; how could qualified Marley Warriors be trained on the training grounds?

"Warrior Candidate! Assemble!" At Koslow's command, several children carrying backpacks and wearing small military uniforms hurriedly ran to the front of the line and stood in a row.

Compared to the Marley Soldiers behind the Warrior Candidate, even the oldest, Colt, looked so young, let alone the little rascals like Falco.

"Ouch!" A cry of pain drew everyone's attention. Aili, who had hurriedly jumped off the bus, had fallen hard, and her once pretty face was now covered in dust, making her look quite disheveled.

Watching Aili scramble to the side of the line, Koslow frowned. Of all the Warrior Unit, this sea Titan Warriors was the one he disliked the most. He was always clumsy and timid, and after eating, he would just laze around and sleep. What made this lazy bum a Marley Warriors?

However, Koslow didn't know where the newly emerged Titan Power came from, and Captain Magath seemed to be quite wary of this as well, never explicitly telling him.

Aili seemed to realize she had embarrassed herself, and lowered her head without saying a word.

The commotion in front of the Military Camp naturally attracted the attention of the Eldia Soldiers Military Camp, and some Soldiers immediately went to report the situation.

Besides Selina, some Soldiers also went to Yago's tent to report, perhaps because of Yago's actions a few days ago. Putting everything else aside, he at least earned some respect from the Eldia Soldiers.

Selina looked up, brushed a strand of hair away from her forehead, and asked with some surprise, "Warrior Candidate? Have they arrived already?"

On the other side, Yago, sitting comfortably in a reclining chair with his legs propped up on the table, also learned of the arrival of the Warrior Candidate.

Setting down the map, Yago stroked his chin. "It's here. I need to go check this out. I wonder if those candidates will recognize this face."

Yago picked up a small mirror and examined himself closely. Although there were many differences, he could still see that Loa's face was very similar to his own.

After thinking for a moment, Yago threw down the mirror, grabbed Marley military uniform from the back of a chair, Yago walked straight out of the tent.

Bill took a deep drag on his cigarette, a look of pure bliss on his face. He'd been on a plane for two days and hadn't smoked in two days, and he was itching to get a cigarette.

Pale white smoke billowed from Bill's lips. Looking around Bill, he saw an endless desert, desolate and bleak.

Following Bill's gaze, in the distance, three long pillars stood far away, and three figures could be vaguely seen bound to them, but the distance was too great to make out their faces.

Beside the three pillars, a white figure was pacing back and forth, seemingly busy with something.

Bill spat out the cigarette butt from his mouth, and seemingly not satisfied, he stuffed three cigarettes into his mouth in one go and lit them with a lighter.

Through the smoke he exhaled, Bill seemed to see the three figures suddenly struggle violently, while the white figure quickly approached him.

Soon, Ebson, looking calm and composed, walked up to Bill in a white lab coat.

Just then, Bill finished his cigarette, spat out the butt, and Bill, saying, "Master."

Ebson smelled the strong Tobacco on Bill, and his brows furrowed deeply; this smell was truly maddening for Scientist.

Ebson turned around and looked at the three struggling figures in the distance.

"Master, is the plan going smoothly?" Bill asked cautiously.

Ebson pushed up his glasses, his previously calm expression finally faltering, revealing a sickly smile. "Of course, it went very smoothly, perfectly, exceptionally smoothly. It seems Fate has ordained me to succeed, hehehe, look! The final power will be born!" Ebson pointed to the three struggling figures in the distance, his tone suddenly becoming excited.

Bill was about to say something, but a sudden roar interrupted him.

Three towering Yellow Lightning erupted from the three pillars and from the three figures, while their struggles intensified.

A surge of steam began to spread, gradually enveloping the three of them, while the three Yellow Lightning merged into one and shot straight into the sky. In an instant, the once calm sky suddenly became gloomy.

A large patch of dark clouds covered the sky, and with a few claps of thunder and flashes of lightning, a light drizzle began to fall.

Despite the rain soaking their clothes, Ebson and Bill kept their eyes glued to the spot in the distance where Yellow Lightning were flashing. A moment later, wisps of red arcs of electricity suddenly emerged from the surging steam, accompanied by several terrifying roars.

Suddenly, accompanied by a sharp shriek, a huge figure burst out of the steam and shot straight into the sky.

Bill stared up in disbelief.

"Roar..." A deep roar came from the steam, and a blurry figure, at least twenty meters tall, slowly emerged from the steam.

Behind the blurry figure, an even larger figure seemed to be moving.

"Hahaha, I succeeded! My era is about to begin!!" Ebson raised his hands and laughed heartily.

But then, a colossal creature suddenly swooped down from the sky toward Ebson, its pair of savage, murderous red eyes fixed on Ebson.

Ebson's lips curled into a mocking smile as he turned to Bill and said, "Teach this ungrateful bastard a lesson, let him know how foolish it is to offend the genius who created him!"

Bill looked up at the figure in the sky, grinned, and said, "Yes, Master."

(All the Artificial Titan have appeared, and the main plot of the Marley arc is about to begin! P. S. I was delayed by two days of updates due to exams, please forgive me!)
