Chapter 624 - The Impact
'Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!'
'Bam!'
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
The battleground was now filled with chaos, as none of Alec's men could make heads or tails of the situation.
Dammit!
What the hell was going on?
A huge chunk of soil quickly spattered around the place, and a thick screen of smoke covered the battlefield like a blanket.
Dust entered the eyes of those engulfed in the Mist, and the ghastly screams of several men echoed out from within the most of smoke.
'Tee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee!'
The horses ran about in confusion, as they tried to look for the safest exit from this madness that was called war.
Alec instantly got up from his seat in shock and pulled out his sword in attempts to prepare himself for whatever might come his way.
Of course, the men beside him also did the same as well.
But suddenly, the ground below them trembled violently and a powerful invisible force sent them flying backwards in a flash.
'Bam!'
Ugh!
What the hell was that?
It felt like some sort of monster had been unleashed from the underworld.
Because the heat around him seemed to be 10 times stronger than it originally was.
Alec's face was all covered in dirt, and his second was not on his anymore.
Dammit!
What could've caused this?
In fact, what Alec was feeling was just the impact of the explosives.
Because sometimes, the force would even shatter car and building windows if they were nearby.
Alec felt like he was facing an otherworldly creature at the moment when he heard the screams of his men within the mist.
But he dared not leave since he hadn't confirmed any of his suspicions yet.
Because if he left now, then he wouldn't know how to strategize for his next plan.
So how could he prepare if he didn't even know what hit them?
He clenched his fists and squinted his eyes as if trying to pierce through the Mist.
No matter what sort of monster came out, he didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to kill at least one.
And besides, his ego really wouldn't let him leave with his tail dangling between his legs in shame.
So if he couldn't even kill any enemies, then at least he should go back with one beast in his possession... Or else what would his sons say?
They would look at him as a complete failure when he got back in the Capital with no enemy's blood on his hands.
And from there, several people might even look down on him even further.
No!
He had to get a trophy before leaving no matter what!
.
'Bam!'
The men who were supposed to guard Alec were also sent flying too.
And the vibrations and impact from it all had even made them forget about Alec for a minute.
In the face of such a godly act, one would even forget who or what was beside them.
"Son of a b**ch!
What was that?"
"I... I think it came from above.
Maybe it's black powder."
"Black powder?
No way!
Don't forget that the enemies hadn't thrown any flaming arrows at us all this while.
Instead, they had been standing there and watching us.
So it couldn't have been them.
In short, I don't think any mortal could cause such a scene.
Think about it.
Didn't you feel the vibrations earlier?
The ground definitely opened up some sort of portal to the Netherlands."
"F**k!
Then are we still safe?
Our men are screaming inside that Mist in agony.
So what exactly has been unleashed there?
And how do we fight it?"
Several of them began talking like crazy while coming up with some unbelievable fictional tales about it all.
"Enough!
Everyone, stand vigilantly until we know what we are dealing with!" Alec said calmly.
The moment he spoke, the men finally came back to their senses and remained quiet... even though their hearts were still very much In turmoil.
.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
"Help me!
Captain, please help me.
I'm bleeding!"
"No!
I don't want to die like this when I haven't even hit a single enemy."
"It hurts!
It hurts!"
Within the Mist of never-ending smoke and quivers from the ground, those in the heart of the matter seemed to be lost.
Like sheep, they had lost their shepherd.
After all, even a fool could see that the entire battlefield was now in chaos and disorder.
Captain Revan slowly dragged his wounded body while trying to find an exit from the Mist of smoke.
That way, he could clearly see what was going on before launching another attack on the Baymardians.
But because everyone kept bumping into one another from all angles, no one truly knew what way they were to go.
'Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!'
Blood gushed out from his mouth and he quickly fell to his knees in pain.
Yet another wave of assault had made him fly backwards gain, causing him to hit his injuries hard on the ground.
And soon, he heard the cry of someone close to him.
"Motherf***er!
Hahahhaha..... Cough...cough...cough!
So I'm finally hit."
"Higgins, is that you?" Revan walked towards the voice while passing several shadowy figures.
And when he finally stopped in front of Higgins, all the colour on his face had completely drained off.
Goodness!
Half of Higgin's face was like that of a skeleton, and he had also lost his arm and a chunk of his belly as well.
Revan gulped and slowly shook Higgins in fear.
Dead... He's really dead.
Revan looked upwards and felt like this whole mission was an impossible one.
Dammit!
What heavenly being had they offended?
.
'Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!'
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
The wails and screams of those below quickly pierced through the sky creating a very ghastly imagination for everyone.
'Bubup!... Bubup!... Bubup!
Oden felt like his heart would really jump out of his chest any moment from now.
He looked at Landon and then at the weapons before him in terror.
Any weapon that can cause such a massive cry from the enemy was for sure a Holy weapon.
And this brat here just happened to have them.
How shocking!
Of course, he wasn't the only one who was knocked off his boots from the whole ordeal.
Penelope's brothers were also frozen to the core with their mouths wide open in awe.
They had never seen a battle like this in their entire lives.
But when they recalled how rude they were to Landon when they had first arrived, they couldn't help but tremble a bit from fear.
Hopefully, his majesty Landon didn't take it to heart... Right?
'Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!'
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
Everyone watched the scene unfold with different emotions burning within them.
And soon, the Commander in charge of today's attack called for all attacks to be stopped.
Now, it was time to see what had become of theit enemies.
The smoke began to clear out, leaving a stunned audience behind.
How...how... How was this possible?
They shook their heads rapidly as if trying to deny what their eyes saw.
The scene before them made them speechless!
