Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

The next morning...",

Vicente was facing his group, while 300 warriors from the Sentinels of the Order were in position around Dresbert's central square.

More than a thousand inhabitants were gathered on the sidewalks of the area, watching the large group that would leave in the next few moments to reverse the city's current terrible situation.

Most of the residents there were thrilled by this moment, eager for the group's victorious return. They did, of course, have concerns about the group's safety and how many would return from the journey about to begin. But the general feeling was one of hope for change.

Rory, Lina, Layla, Casey and Sarah were facing Vicente. The five would stay behind to take care of the city.

"I'm going ahead with our plans. I hope to complete our plan in the vicinity in three days," Vicente said, as Onyx sat on top of the Sentinels of the Order's headquarters building.

"Good luck dealing with the enemies. Try not to show off too much or use the throne," Lina said quietly to him.

Vicente smiled and said. "Everyone who sees me in action over the next few days will either be our ally or a corpse. Don't worry, I'll make sure there are no witnesses left on the enemy's side."

With those words, Vicente looked at the 300 men in that square, 39 Earth Sovereigns, 11 Sky Sovereigns and 250 High-level Mages.

Four of the Sky Sovereigns were dressed in 5th stage armor, while the 39 Earth Sovereigns were armed with 4th stage firearms. 16 High-level Mages were wearing 4th stage armor and all the remaining 234 High-level Mages were armed with 4th stage firearms.

For the moment there was no common ammunition for the group and their aim was not to control what they already had, but to advance against the enemies. They would only make use of Vicente's high-level ammunition today, without fear of 'wasting' it.

Vicente waved for the troops to follow him, before departing the area with a battalion that had the strength of 1 Archmage, 4 Paragons and 289 Sovereigns.

In the next 15 minutes, their group would leave the city, passing through several streets where citizens were gathered on the sidewalks, hopefully cheering the group's victory.

They would pass through the strip outside the city, still dominated by local forces, where dozens of men were currently in position to observe the area and ensure that ordinary workers tended to the crops there.

As soon as they left the 4 or 5 kilometer area outside the city, even the weakest people there felt the proximity of 3rd and 4th stage monsters nearby.

Vicente stopped in front of his group and said. "I'm going to give you significant help. I don't have time to let you fight your enemies slowly. Your presence here is not to take part in the fighting, but to control the portions of land that I conquer.

I will exterminate the enemies, but in a few days or a few weeks, more monsters will come here to retake the territory I conquer today. Your work won't be so monotonous in the future."

The men there just listened to Vicente speak, remaining silent as his aura grew, little by little, revealing his five shocking pentagrams.

'Green, cyan, green, cyan and cyan!' One of the Sky Sovereigns in the area widened his eyes while dressed in one of the robotic 5th stage armors, seeing what the rumors in Dresbert had already been spreading around the city for the past few days.

'The leader of the order really is a monster! What kind of magician has a pentagram configuration like that?'

'That's why he's so strong! But it's impressive he survived after absorbing pentagrams of such quality!'

Several warriors thought different things about Vicente, all of them feeling the utmost respect for this young Paragon, who was giving them hope.

As the hearts of these 300 men pulsed with the will to fight and help Vicente in his goals, the black-haired young man flew forward, as lightning appeared in the sky and the ground in the area shook.

Vicente attacked the first of his enemies, causing over 30 bodies of 3rd stage monsters to explode nearby, staining the crops of that plain with blood and jagged pieces of organs.

Earth monsters emerged from points distributed around the area, rushing towards the sides of the area, while terrifying lightning bolts fired at that grandiose terrain.

At this rate, the slaughter of Vicente near Dresbert would begin. An area with a radius of 30 kilometers was not small. He would spend the next two hours killing in a small strip of this area, clearing the first of many quadrants to be cleared.

But in two hours, he would finish killing his way to the first point where he would establish one of the border posts, which would be responsible for keeping the area between that point and the city secure.

...

Two hours after starting his killing spree, Vicente had finished building a large metal estate measuring 500 square meters, four levels underground and three levels above ground.

On this site, he had also started building a 4-meter-high fence, stretching for just one kilometer at a time.

His entire group was now standing in front of Minos and that metallic property, where they felt strong magnetic effects that would certainly drive away any hostile beings.

Vicente had already distributed items capable of nullifying the electromagnetic effects of the area so that his men wouldn't be harmed in the same way as the enemies would be, and was now looking at them, giving his next order.

"A group of 1 man dressed in 5th stage armor, 3 Earth Sovereigns armed with firearms, 4 men dressed in 4th stage armor and 10 High-level Mages will stay here and take care of the area. If monsters approach you or enter the area you've just conquered, kill them. Otherwise, stand by here until my next order."

The 18 men requested by Vicente quickly split from the rest, putting themselves at his disposal to protect this slice of land that had already been conquered.

Vicente had already rested before building this small border post, one of 30 such posts he planned to build along the almost 280 kilometers of border between the Dresbert security area and the outside world.

He said to his other men. "Let's keep moving forward. I'm going to build the next post similar to this one just over 9 kilometers away from here, going clockwise."

With that order, the group of 282 men left the area to continue what they had been doing for the last two hours.
