He raised a second finger. "Second, the average beast is not as swift or fast as Martial Artists. They cannot move out of the way as fast as Martial Artists can. This makes them even easier to hit."

He raised a third finger. "Third, the average beast, being larger, can withstand diluted attacks exponentially better than focused attacks. This principle is true in general. An impact dispersed across your entire body is much easier to weather than a focused impact. There are even Martial Art techniques that employ this principle."

Many Martial Artists in the audience nodded knowingly. Dispersion was one of the most common principles for active defense techniques at the Lower Realms.

The Esoterist raised a fourth finger. "They don't possess the extraordinary insights and foresight that Martial Artists possess with greater experience. Martial Artists of the Upper Realms possess an innate quasi-future vision by virtue of their sheer experience and intuition, making them so much more difficult to strike."

Having shortly elucidated four powerful reasons that made existing siege weapons extremely incompatible with beasts and monsters, the Esoterist waited as the problems human leaders hadn't even thought about dawned on them.

"Think about it, leaders of humanity." He smiled confidently. "Why do you think the Esocline Federation is outperforming some Sage-level powerhouses against the Beast Incursion despite the fact that we have no Martial Artists?"

A wave of murmurs spread through the conference hall.

And in this case, the largest supplier of esoteric siege weapons was none other than the Esocline Federation.

"I'm more than willing to trade with all of you to accelerate your refitting and upgrading process." He smiled with a hint of mischief. "...For a price, of course."

They stiffened once more as they experienced a wave of deja vu.

Yet another fellow who was supposed to be providing solutions using his leverage to make an extra buck out of the exchange. And yet again, they had no choice but to comply and adhere to his conditions as long as they weren't too outrageous. They knew that it was ultimately better to cooperate with the Esoterist than to delay the departure of Sages and risk absolute destruction.

The Esoterist grinned at the indignance emerging from the audience. He didn't intend to go too far with squeezing them with leverage, but he certainly intended to take his reward for being one of the saviors of human civilization.

"And now, I will proceed to talk about the rest of my solutions one by one," he continued. "These are all higher fruits that will take greater effort to initiate. However, once the Sages leave, they will be extremely valuable in the long run. Many of these solutions are mundane and technical so I won't bore you with all the details and only go through the overview and leave information packages for your scholars. However, some of them are..."

A smile emerged on his face. "Revolutionary. I believe that some of them will change humankind forever."
