            Thank you for providing me with this information! Oh boy, it seems the Empire really got lucky when they killed the Demon Lord. If he hadn’t been so cocky and tried to tank the attack, he could’ve simply dodged it or even attempted to destroy it.
            
            And a Dragon Emperor? That’s really interesting! It seems this world has powerhouses that can actually rival a Demon Lord.
            
            Honestly, bruh, I’m pretty glad the power scaling in this series isn’t ridiculous. If the First Civilization could easily wipe out the Demon Invasion Crisis and had fighters who could that can kill demon lord , I’d honestly call BS. That would make the First Civilization so ridiculously overpowered that it wouldn’t even be interesting to see when we finally meet them. But with the answer you gave me, you’ve really reignited my interest in this series until the very end

            Hey bruh, if you don’t mind me asking if the Demon Invasion Crisis had happened during the First or Second Civilization, do you think they could’ve won against them? And if they could, how much damage would’ve been done before they finally defeated them? I’m pretty curious about that.
            
            

@LEGENDFRIENDSMOBA the second Civilization would've defend much better than the Austronesian Empire against the demonic army
            
            But they wouldve been curb stomp by the archdemons
            
            First Civilization, easily destroy the demonic army, most of their strongest people such as the Pope or the True Dragon Lords could take on the archdemons, but for the Demon Lord, the only one who could rival or surpassed him is the Dragon Emperor

            Eh, it's quite fun. Seems like the mini-arc is over, but the rescue operation was hella fun, much more than I thought. RIP to our Special Agents in that one guy—they really needed the rest. Thank God the cavalry came just in time to save our boys' butts. It seems the new addition, like the Dwarf Prince, really adds an unexpected twist. He should probably be stuck fighting against the TWW or the Third World War, rather than fighting our guys. XD Either way, it works very well in our boys' favor.
            
             Honestly, I don't know what to expect in the next chapter. Probably the Dwarfs will attempt to discuss our gunships, or we might go back to Riley's situation with the Mercenary Gang missions to eliminate them.
            
            But the one thing missing is the government's reaction to the entire situation. I really hope we get to see their insight soon—like their plans for technological advances and the current development of the Empire. Have they completed their reconstruction efforts, or are they almost there? What about the citizens? How fanatical are they about the situation, especially with the way the world is treating our kind more like cattle rather than humans? That would really push them to the edge.
            
            Either way, the new chapters are just a lot of fun. Good luck with the next one, bruh!
            
            

Honestly i used Chat-GPT to effectively convey my thoughts more effectively i really hope you don't mind btw I just modified text that's just result lol

The real MVP of this arc, though, is the Magic Symbiote. That thing is insane. It's more than just a way for humans to access mana—it grants them straight-up superpowers! I expected it to help them unlock mana and gradually strengthen themselves, but nope—it just handed them incredible abilities and left them to figure it out. Now, they need to train and master these powers while uncovering more of the symbiote's secrets. It’s such a game-changer for the Empire. If they can reverse-engineer even a fraction of its abilities, gaining widespread access to mana would revolutionize their military. A stronger, more advanced version of the Magic Symbiote could create an army of super-soldiers. The possibilities are endless, though it’s going to take time.
            
            With the new arc kicking off as a rescue mission, I’m hyped! The stranded operatives in the Third Civilization are in a tough spot, and while reinforcements are on the way, those magical shields and passive defenses are a nightmare to deal with. The fighting scenes are intense, but even their advanced weapons barely scratch the enemy’s armor. I really hope the Empire starts developing even more powerful weapons. With the reinforcements equipped with upgraded gear, they might have a fighting chance to bring our operatives home safely.
            
            Looking forward to seeing how the Empire grows from all this. Let’s hope their ingenuity pays off!
            
            

I love this arc! Riley's development has been amazing, to the point where I'd consider him the true MC of the series. The age reveal was wild—finding out he's over 40 and still chosen for such a critical military team is surprising, but it works so well. His character feels so vital, especially with how the Magic Symbiote turned things around for his team. It's like the ultimate elixir of life, giving the Empire's people a shot at magic despite their inherent lack of it.
            
            Honestly, I thought this arc would turn into a nightmare—a complete bloodbath where the team gets wiped out, with survivors captured, tortured for fun, and dissected for information. Even with their research into magical technology and the inclusion of Polites, the elf team member, it still felt like they didn't stand a chance against the mercenary gang. But thanks to the Magic Symbiote, they pulled through. It gave them insane abilities at just the right moment, allowing them to fight back effectively. With only three or four gang members left, I can't wait to see how this wraps up. My bet? It’s going to involve nukes—quick and decisive.

            It seems that my estimate of the number of special soldiers in a fantasy army—those who can easily dodge or tank bullets—might be correct, given that it is both resource-intensive and time-consuming to train them. This is my estimated size in 3rd civilization same with 2nd and 1st but they have a solution that can fix that problem lol.
            
            It seems that the Empire might not be very concerned when they eventually conquer a third-tier civilization. The Empire could potentially train their soldiers to dodge and tank bullets hopefully. 
            
            It's also unlikely they would declare war before fully recovering their nation to its pre-isekai state and need too much preparation to combat against those people as well .
            
            Nukes being a operational used they can even invade them with no warning i think is the best scenario for them to do if the Empire would say their goals in Human liberation than those nations would gather up humans and basically became a literal human shield ,a hostage situation basically.
            
            Boi the Liberation would be noice like the AMERICAN DELIVERED THEIR DEMOCRACY lol.

@LEGENDFRIENDSMOBA and it also depends on the people, 1 to 100 of them might born of natural talent to train themselves easily to survive gunfire

@LEGENDFRIENDSMOBA 
            
            First question, YES.
            
            Most adventurers can dodge bullets? No, but majority could react to bullets. Same answer as the weaker adventurers
            
            Majority of military forces from this world do get a certain amount of time to train to survive and avoid gunfire. That's why the Update Chapter said Level 2 and 3 were strong enough to easily threaten an armed soldier or a few.
            
            Final question. Majority of the people who has mana, i meant by Civilian level ones, still couldn't dodge bullets, but could possibly survive a gun wound unless their vital points were hit. A civilian with mana being shot by a gun is not the same way as normal human civilians. With mana, it would help them survive unless it's very lethal
