12 The Ambush (2/2)

”I said don't panic! Anyone that breaks the formation and runs to the back will be executed!” shout the general of the army.

'Is that a giant beast? What kind of beast is that? And what's with the metallic armor? Someone's definitely behind all of this!' Deemed the general in dread.

As the army wasn't completely a riff-raff, discipline immediately coming back to the soldiers.

”Spearman, take position in front to block the beast! Archers, prepare the arrow! Then shoot together when I gave the command!”

As the beast becoming closer and closer to the army, and the general was about to issue a command to shoot.

Then a lot of strange flying iron roaring beast appeared in the sky, becoming the focus of the soldier in the army.

The strange flying iron beast has a blade-like thingy above it, rotating as if there is no tomorrow.

”A strange flying beast appeared in the sky! Everyone take cover!” fearful that the flying beast was a magical beast that could shot magic, the general ordered for the soldier to be ready.

Just as that were said, a lot… lots of black silhouettes possibly hundreds of them, dropping off from inside the iron beast.

Then, as the army was confused to cope with the situation. The black silhouettes were coming closer and closer to the ground.

'prriiittt….'

A blue streak of electricity suddenly appeared from the strange tube that the black silhouettes were holding in its hand.

”””Arrkhhhh!””” hundreds possibly thousands of the soldiers below scream and were convulsing in a static-like thing.

The general that was commanding the army was in desperation from what he just saw,

”Is this the power of a Magus? No... that couldn't be….” A despair and bewildered expression could be seen from his face.

Then, suddenly a cannon or some sort from a distance, blasting into the side of the troop. Killing dozens of soldiers and broke their morale completely.

”Arghhhh!!! Run… run… I don't care anymore about military law; I just want to live!” one of the corporals in the side of the troop shrieked with his mentality completely broken in despair.

The yell of the corporal becomes a snowball effect, larger and larger parts of the troops began deserting the place.

They were pushing and trampling each other in desperation for their life. Not minding their fallen comrade that they trample upon. When suddenly the black silhouettes that appeared from the sky, emerge in front of them and blocking their path.

They wield a strange tube like weapon in their hand and start firing an electric-like thingy from the tube and incapacitate the troop that was running in front.

Suddenly a strange monotone voice came from the black silhouettes,

”Drop your weapon and surrender, and you will be spared… Drop your weapon and surrender, and you will be spared…” The black silhouettes were shouting this, again and again.

Overhearing what the thing said, the soldiers that were on despair immediately drop their weapon and hold their heads in the ground in fear for their miserable life.

In the midst of the formation, a luxurious carriage could be seen. There was a shrewd nobleman inside confused and doesn't know what to do.

”What is happening out there? Why there is chaos in the formation? Someone report to me!” The shrewd noble angrily shout outside, as there is no one that replied.

Then the aide that has been with him before report fearfully,

”Lord, I suggest we run and escape from this place! An army of unknown force was attacking us from almost all sides!”

”What? You must be lying to me! How can an army of five thousand strong incapable of handling this thing?” the shrewd noble gaze murderously to the aide.

”Lord, please look outside.” The aide nervously showing the scenery outside.

”What? What is happening? How could this be? Is that black silhouettes a golem?” Then, as he realizes what happened around him, a group of golems surrounded his carriage and pointing their tube like weapon. Immediately incapacitating the noble and his aide.

'Why… why couldn't I move my limb?' This was the last thing the shrewd noble think before he collapses in his carriage, unconscious.

Above in the dark sky, inside a bigger helicopter. I was seeing the scenery below with shock and disbelief plastered over my face and contemplate in thought,

'This… is more effective than I thought it was!'

This night sure wasn't a quiet one.
