1624 Battle At The Palace!
The tornado packed a punch, shaking the vehicle and blowing for what seemed to be an eternity until the chaos ceased.
It's... Is it over? (°v°)
Look left, look right...
Everyone felt they had just experienced a real-life Blockbuster movie scene with them being the actors and actresses.
But what was this? Why was the air 5 times hotter than before?
No way! Is the tornado really so boiling? No wonder people get surface brush when captured in it.
They thought the information might have been exaggerated slightly. But who knew one could cook like a runny egg while engulfed by a tornado?
"All A1 Units, report status!"
Are they alright wherever they are?
Landon gave the driver the wheel, contacting the other units ASAP.
One must know they had launched their attacks surrounding the entire city first. So his units were in the North, South, East, West, North-West, and all other directions, all heading to the City Lord's palace. So what he experienced might be different for others, or maybe worse.
He wasted no time telling them of the dangerous tornadoes they faced. Telling them the direction he last saw the tornados travel last.
Of course, he also alerted the other units, like Lucius'. It was best for them to know of any strange changes, irrespective of whether they face them or not.
"Stay advised for any Tornados roughly XX wide and XX."
Artemis's eyes shone with admiration.
The second they escaped the tornado, the Baymardians became busy, some note-taking the tornado's appearance, others observing the damage it did and recording while marking several lines on the map they brought out.
These people adapted far more quickly than his Giants.
And just like that, the group reached the City's Central region, rushing straight for the very prominent landmass elevated above the scene.
"There..." Payne pointed at the magnificent structure above. "That's father's palace."
Good.
.
Landon drove off, noticing several giants peeking from their windows.
What's going on? Why did they see so many iron monsters?
They dared not go out, reaching for sticks and any heavy objects in their homes.
"Hide! Hide the children and stand guard by the doors!"
Several people stood menacingly against the doors and windows after seeing the few Adonis intruders on horseback get killed.
Terrible!... Terrible!...
Though they were happy to see these bastards die, they still shivered, having never seen such a gruesome thing before.
What sort of evil did they commit to face enemy after enemy?
First it was the Adonis intruders. And now, Iron monsters?
The Giants felt they had incurred some evil curse giving them bad luck. Or else why was everyone evil happening to them?
Could it be they did something to anger the Vine God?
Many grouped the objects in their hands firmly.
"Wife! Listen to me! Go down to the cellar, and don't come out until I say so!"
"No way! Who do you think you're talking to? I am a giant! Don't you dare look down on my strength! Son, you hide and leave this matter to your parents!... SHUT UP! Don't you dare argue with me? I brought you into this world, and I can take you back! So go hide, and don't test me!"
"Father, I will help you defend!"
"Daughter, be obedient. Go hide from your father!"
"Father, are you looking down on me because I'm a girl?"
"Son, take your mother and hide."
"Father, are you looking down on me because I'm a 6-year-old boy? Forgive me for being wide, but I can not only beat the enemy but beat you up after I'm done!"
.
All around the city, several family heads were having headaches.
You have to know that it took a lot for them to convince their families to stay low-key against these Adonis intruders.
As Giants, their blood was always hot, with children, even at 4 years of age, saying they would die fighting the enemy.
It took a lot to convince them to lay low and wait for backup from the empire. But now, another enemy has come, causing their spikes to show like porcupines.
None were obedient anymore. The children refused to go down into the cellars, and the women refused to abandon their men.
It was so bad that some people had to knock out their children, gag, and tie them below.
Of course, they left blades at a close enough range for the children to free themselves after they woke up.
Giants...
They were indeed a ferociously troublesome bunch. And with their chosen objects at hand, they prepared to defend their homes.
But... But... Eh?
Everyone looked at each other skeptically, realizing that these iron giants weren't interested in them.
They watched a few people storm out to land hits on the iron creatures. But nothing happened.
Instead, the room creature ignored them and machine-gunned a few more Adonis followers ahead.
(-_-)
'Excuse us, Mr. Iron Monster... But are you only interested in these Adonis towers?'
Blink. Blink.
Was that truly the case?
Well then, don't mind them. You go on and do your thing.
(^_^)
Lalala-lalala~

Vrmmmmmm!
Landon stared at the majestic site growing closer. And on the way, his unit, A1-00, grouped with other units.
"All A1 Units report location."
[A1-04, reporting from the North East... Reaching the Palace gates in 5 minutes.]
[A1-06, also reporting from the North East. Unit is behind A1-04... 5 minutes before arrival.]
[This is A1-21...]
[A1-17....]
[A1-22 calling in.]
Report! Report! Report!
Alright...
Everyone was close enough, with only a few vehicles in each other.
Each unit had War Tanks, military transport & Surveillance vehicles, medical vehicles, and Heavy Militia vehicles with vehicle walls that opened up to reveal massive machine guns, grenade launchers, and other ammunition.
~Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock.
Time vanished like the wind until soon, they reached the incline leading straight to the massive palace walls.
This was it.
The final battle.
Everyone breathed heavily.
But just as they saw the enemy, the enemy had a clear view of them.
Kardinal Yu's hairs stood erect, seeing the army of metal monsters climbing the terrain, like any climbing an ant hill.
They were everywhere!
