After finishing his business in the capital, having created 600 firearms, 150,000 bullets for the four types of weapons he created, and 50 pieces of armor, 10 of them of the 5th stage and the rest of the 4th stage, Vicente left Grandis.",

The local forces were well armed and protected according to the resources available in this area of the continent. But as good as these numbers weren't, they should be enough for the current threat level in this area of the Polaris Realm.

Vicente, Lauren, Layla and Lina left the capital of Seidel Kingdom, having just said goodbye to the king, Jasmine and the others, as well as Newton, who stayed behind to take care of local affairs.

While he and his companions would continue their journey through Diamond Province, then Snow Province, the local forces would have plenty to do.

It was their plan to reclaim as much territory as possible in the coming weeks, rescue people trapped in places surrounded by monsters, and get back to mining and farming.

Of course, they would also have to hold on to what Vicente had conquered in the last few days, which was not so difficult now that they were armed and prepared.

Besides that, their future plans that are further out would solely rely on Vicente.

In the meantime, the young man planned to take care of his railroads and get the network he had built up before up and running again on a large scale. This could be his greatest weapon to help the human resistance against monsters!

...

After leaving the kingdom's capital, Vicente and his companions soon arrived at their first stop, where the railroad connecting the capital to Saltstar City was destroyed at its first point.

In this place of grassy fields and hills in the north of the province, Vicente spotted from his position in the sky an area of many craters where the tracks were distorted, crumpled, or even destroyed, leaving no trace behind.

"From what I've heard from my family, there are devastated areas like this all around the railroads in the province. The monsters realized our trains would be a problem for them once they started attacking our forces. They attacked the railroads with all their might." Lina commented as her group slowed their speed and altitude.

"That must be why the provincial groups have simply abandoned Vicente's trains in the last few weeks." Layla muttered.

"Yes, that's the case." Lina shook her head in agreement. "The monsters have been very determined. First, they destroyed the railroads that connected the richest cities in the province. By attacking different points along the track of each line, they basically made it impossible to repair those lines.

Luckily for some of our friends in Metal City, the monsters destroyed the Saltstar City-Grandis railroad last. But that line was destroyed in at least a dozen different places, almost at the same time that Saltstar City was extinguished."

"That's a shame. But fortunately, I'll be able to rebuild those destroyed points quickly." Vicente looked at the area where the craters were, along 3 kilometers from where the tracks should have been at that point.

"You three want to help me deal with these monsters nearby?" Vicente looked at them as he pointed to the 200 monsters he had just sensed guarding the area.

As much as the monsters had destroyed several points of Vicente's train tracks, it had been very costly for them, as they had sacrificed dozens of 4th-stage monsters and even a few 5th-stage individuals.

If the Seidel Kingdom's magicians could repair these damaged areas after sacrificing all the monsters, it would be terrible for these creatures. As a result, groups like the 200 or so monsters in this area guarded places like this to prevent human repairs.

Lina and Layla agreed when they heard Vicente's suggestion, with Lauren moving first without saying anything.

Lina and Layla had become very strong and had their 5th stage armor, which they couldn't help but want to use on the battlefield, just like children wanting to use their favorite toy.

With Vicente and Lauren there, they would never have to fight, so the only way for them to act was if he gave them the opportunity!

As soon as they landed in the middle of the destroyed area, Lina and Layla teamed up to fight the nearby 4th stage monsters, with the speedster taking on the group in the south and the psychic magician taking on the monsters in the north.

Layla was so fast that she had reached the first enemy in the first breath of time since Vicente set foot on the ground and had her arm through the switch of the 4th stage goblin.

Lina wasn't that fast, but she moved quickly against her opponents, using her mana to strengthen her body while sensing what her enemies were going to do and adjusting her blows and movements accordingly.

Predicting an opponent's future gestures was an extremely powerful skill. It made its user difficult to hit, but very efficient in his offensive movements.

By not missing blows, avoiding attacks that would cost mana, and using the right power in each move, a magician like Lina could perform even more impressive feats than a speedster like Layla.

When Layla had already killed 25 opponents, Lina took down her 19th, even though her speed was much slower than her teammate and harem sister's.

While the two of them acted, killing left and right, Lauren had already finished when Vicente manipulated his magnetic powers, trying not to scare the monsters in the area while his group acted.

He used the minerals in the ground and the damaged rails to create new rails, while giving his special properties to the old ones near him, activating their repelling effects.

Considering the small 3-kilometer stretch of damaged or destroyed rails, Vicente would have repaired that terrain in just 10 minutes, including closing the craters in the area with earth elemental spells.

When these two had finished their carnage, Vicente finished his work, leaving behind tracks that could even withstand the attacks of High-level 5th-stage beings!
