*As they were approaching the fort walls he was thinking about what his father said he still had much to learn about the sword to not see the sword as an object but part of swordsman so has he been teaching his students wrong? Well he did his best and could easily bring it up in the next lesson for when they returned upon approaching the fort exiting the forest path to the main gate, cheong would see heavily armored guards and massive canons the size of warships on the alls every 50 feet apart facing outwards, spiraling towers with mana crystals floating the size of houses just beyond the wall but close enough and higher then the wall the crystals had beams of mana that flowed into a massive magical dome that encased the fort and all surrounding land and they approached the barrier* `"Why is it you feared this...? What happened what do you know that I may have missed dad?"` *He asks tilting his head quietly but as they approached the barrier and they looked through they would see mounds of skelton's rotting flesh and thousands of bodies propped up on spears as far as the eye could physically see to the walls this freaked yenio out he had never seen such barbarian tactics or anything sickening like this the smell, was absolutely awful it was death, on such a large scale it made his face nearly turn green as he held back vomit covering his mouth*

*The sight he saw before him was... Indescribable... Only something he had seen in the upper realm during the great war of cultivators and demonic cultivators... Nothing but bloodshed and mounds of corpses... This place, was only a simple reminder that he was back in where he came from... A place that's similar to the upper realm in many manners... He saw the large artillery and massive arsenal of weapons, armies, and warships at hand... It was evident that the influence of Orestis' father had truly taken ahold and place in Orestis' mind... He was too late...*

```"Tch... Damn... I can see why the allied forces lost... If only if only I were there... I could've done something... How should we proceed? I say walk forward and nicely knock on their front door hm?"```
Wayne
*Looked at his dad scared he couldn't hold the food he ate in he turned and keeled over vomiting he didn't have a stomach for this level of bloodshed he was queazy and felt very on edge he shook his head trying to keep his bearing, he turned to face, Wei* `"I'll follow your lead."` *He walked forward and touched the magic barrier but as he did he slowly phased through it and made it on the other side surprisingly the guard's on the walls saw them but didn't bother sounding any alarm or pointing weapons or even charging weapon's they in fact began to raise the massive steel gates that lay ahead to let them straight in without any fight being presented.* `"Why are they opening the doors... What are those flying things?"` *He pointed to them as he looked to his dad he had never seen anything like it before they rumbled and roared with power like he never heard before, he had many questions that he didn't know that answer to. He waited for Wei to tell him what to do next not daring to proceed without a plan or for Wei to tell him to go forward what would they meet up ahead, could they even win against such power if it came to violence.*

*Wei Wuxian walked forward as well, his body phasing through the barrier as he looked around. Though the moment the gate raised, he raised a brow as this wasn't something he expected. Right now, what he thought would've happened is that they would've been fighting through such an army and have to power their way through... But to be let in so easily was rather suspicious... He looked at Yenio and smiled gently, patting the boy's head*

```"Worry not, Father is here... Nice of them to raise the gates for us, I thank whomever had done so! Let's go, do not show your fear, be as calm and collected like water, calm until given reason to ripple with effect. Remember, we do not fight unless we have to fight"```

*As he said those words he began walking forward, hands behind his back, and his head held high. Wei Wuxian showed no fear nor hostility, as something of this caliber was something he too had experienced before. But he also did this to show Yenio and encourage the young man, to be the role model that Yenio looked up to*
