Frontline Fortress Twenty-Seven, Rebino World.
The fortress had originally been constructed by the Imperial Administrative Region, a military-grade defensive line meant to repel Grand Lord Kles's invasion. But after the Empire lost the war, his legions took control of the facilities.
In addition to a five-man squad of Knights from the Conqueror Battle Group, a fifty-thousand-strong Infantry Legion was also garrisoned here.
At this moment.
In a detention cell deep within the Fortress.
An ordinary Mortal woman, stark naked, was hung on a torture rack covered in spikes.
Her once-voluminous, charming brown hair was largely scorched. On what should have been a fair, flawless young body, not a single patch of skin or muscle remained intact.
Her back was covered with wounds so deep they exposed bone, the flesh flayed open.
A huge scorch mark on her chest had almost burned through the muscle.
