1655 Vine God?
Was this their end?
Should they just give up now? No way! They still had fire!
The fire was lit on a mixture of torches and other objects to keep it flaming in the air.
Even if the odds were against them, they would fight till they dropped dead.
FIRE!!
From the walls, their giant defenders launched a torrent of flaming arrows raining on the assailants.
Thup. Thup. Thup!
"Ahhhhhhh!"
It was a scene to behold.
They managed to injure a few people's feet, and even got lucky, as the fire began burning some wooden boxes from the inside.
However, it still didn't stop the massive boxes from advancing.
Soon, the worst happened.
Several ballistas carrying huge amounts of black powder shot arrows at the same time. The shield covering the arrow's head was the only one that could be removed from inside the box.
BOOM!
The world fell silent, as smoke engrossed the scene.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The enemies didn't waste time ensuring the job was done. Should in case the frost launch didn't work, why not try another and another and another?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"They've succeeded!"
One of the giants stationed on ground floor passed on the news, and Timothy's whole body trembled hard.
A hint of despair lingered in his eyes, raising his head to the heavens.
'Vine God.... your faithful servant is here. Please... please... send us a miracle and protect my people.'
Eh?
Timothy soon heard a strange but Godly and thunderous noise magnified from afar, followed by an even weirder explosion in the enemy's camp, one he had never seen before.
His eyes widened, between the scene and the heavens in shock.
'Is that you, Vine God?'
.
VRMMM!~
The heavy roaring of tanks and heavy machines, gilded against the rocky terrain.
"Com'on Olivia! Show them what you've got!"
Di-di-di-di-dii-di-di-di-di.~
"Ahhhhhhhhh~"
Men screamed in shock and disbelief, recalling the sparks of light that flashed their way before death.
What was going on? What exactly were these metal things? No! They weren't metal monsters, since the doors opened revealing humans inside.
But how? How did these intruders manage to make a heavy metal box run so fast?
Questions, questions, questions...
So many questions, but sadly not necessary for a dying person.
Like a Transformer about to reveal its true Optimus Prime, one of the heavy vehicles opened and extended One of the Baymardian girls high.
She emerged seated behind her heavy machine gun, for being in all directions like a lunatic.
Di-di-di-di-dii-di-di-di-di.~
"Hold still. I promise to make it quick!"
F***!
Hold Still your mother!
Many people who faintly heard her words, dove away with full marks. 10/10.
Their dive was so meticulous, that one would think there was water on the ground. Several people broke a nose, but didn't care, after finding behind the few sparse trees and rocks they could find.
"Finx! Give me more juice!"
"On it!" Finx quickly recharged her bullets before they could run out, and Oliveir controlled both gear sticks on her side, pressing the middle buttons whenever she fired.
There were thin bulletproof frames around protective shields around her as she maneuvered diligently.
"Olivia! Get ready! We're going in!"
"Roger that, sir!"
What was her job? To cause chaos and disruption in the camp, while also making her way to the forefront of the battlefield to shoot down those moving wooden boxes before they enter the city.
That's Right.
They were fortunate they came before the enemy could enter, which made rounding up and killing them easier.
At present, the entire enemy camp was surrounded by them. And though the enemy had 30 times more people? They had ultimate technology that cleaned up a majority of Adonis's followers in one swoop.
Vrmmmmmm!~
Olivia's eyes narrowed, as the vehicles passed the majority of enemy troops, reaching the vast open space before the city walls.
There were 30 other military vehicles, teaming up to do the same.
In this boiling Dry season, the dust was plentiful, rising high as their vehicles dragged on heavily.
What's going on?
Within the wooden boxes, several men stared at the approaching metal vehicle, first with confusion before settling in horror.
Son of a b**ch!
Only the front and side corners were covered. The entire back region of the long rectangular structure was completely opened.
Wasn't this inviting the enemy to shoot them down cleanly?
~Sling!
They unsheathed their swords and raised a few spare shields they kept on the ballista. But before they could defend themselves, Olivia had already plunged deadly bullets into 2 people's heads
"Come on, we can defend! We can--"
Brah!
The bullet's effect was so crazy that it left fat holes in its victims, with them missing their mouths, eyes and noses altogether.
What was that? How come they didn't see any enemy arrows on the floor?
Was this the latest form of sorcery they were unaware of?
Humans instinctively feared what they didn't understand.
It was strange that they, who had Thamans and all sorts of beliefs, also showed such displays of fear when they thought it might be sorcery.
They all wore head armor, but the armor had an opening in the middle of their faces, allowing them to see all sides clearly, as well as to breathe and speak without obstruction Of course, the mouth region had to be left out, lest they needed to cough up blood or something.
Bullseye.
Olivia patted herself on the back while working alongside her co-shooter in the same vehicle
She was on the left, while he was on the right.
And as the vehicle gilded and drifted around the box, the duo coordinated beautifully to shoot any of the few archers and swordsmen within the box.
'Am I dreaming?'
Timothy stared at the strange scene, too confused to make conclusions.
It wasn't just him, as the sight of such deadly machines and vehicles was unlike anything the knights had seen before
Towering high above the ground, these armored vehicles seemed impenetrable, reflecting the sunlight beautifully.
Their knightly weapons once deemed formidable, now appeared woefully inadequate against such mechanical monstrosities.
Timothy couldn't help thinking that their Soma was really backward with the times.
First, the enemy came with strange but mighty Arrow shooting machines. And now another stranger has come with even deadlier weapons.
So could it be that the times are changing so much in the outside world?
Timothy was frightened by the thought.
No!
Soma must not fall behind. It just must not!
