"Iron torrents may sound exhilarating," but those who face them directly think otherwise.
The next day, as the Emperor's Alliance headed south past Verona City, they encountered their first blockade from the iron torrent.
Swarms of Nislock Synthetic Human assault troops suddenly appeared from behind the hills, launching a fearless ambush on the Emperor's Alliance.
Of course, even the most lifelike Synthetic Humans are fundamentally different from humans—they completely lack the concept of "fear of death."
"Enemy attack!" Amidst the piercing cries of the Imperial Scouts as a warning, gunfire rang out densely.
In the first few minutes, the unprepared Emperor's Alliance suffered heavy casualties. Soon after, Knights organized a counterattack, attempting to push back the Synthetic Humans' offensive.
