The grand crusade has begun. The Sun-Empire's High Clergy has launched a full-scale purge to burn Olympia's system blight from the map.
This is a war of mud, blood, and modular trench defenses. The battlefield is refactored into a high-stakes coordinate grid as Garrick leads the automated peasant militia. Every defense trench is a calculated sector; every casualty is an entry in Olympia's dynamic resource log.
But for Garrick, the crusade is personal. Leading the imperial purge is his arrogant royal half-brother, Valen-the man who left him to bleed out in the dirt of Aethelwood. Valen's forces run on coal, steel, and empirical magic, presenting an unyielding wall of traditional military might.
A clash of blood and code.
While Garrick faces his brother's armies on the muddy battlefield, Olympia executes her most daring calculation yet. She project-infiltrates the capital's physical leyline grid, hacking the city's power conduits from within to bypass their physical defenses. Garrick must push his physical body to the absolute edge, demanding ten percent reflex buffer allocations from his goddess to survive Valen's blades, as the high-frequency whine of circuits screams in his ears.
The empire is about to be refactored. Will Garrick claim his vengeance and secure the leyline grid, or will Valen's crusade delete their network forever?
