Chapter 275 - Dooms Soft Sphere Part One (1/2)

The powerful shockwave originated from the steel jungle that had been formed by the numerous debris. As soon as it appeared, it sent multiple steel plates and pikes tumbling everywhere around it, especially on the fierce beasts that had arrived there.

Under the influence of the explosion, the steel pieces turned into shrapnel that flew at an incredible speed everywhere around the hole in the wall.

The shockwave didn't stop at the jungle of steel- last remnant of what had been the north wall- and before long, engulfed the numerous soldiers of the northern army that stood on New Casablanca's streets.

”Hold your positions!”, roared one of them with difficulty. His voices quickly died with the cacophony that surrounded the area. The shock wave spread outwardly and only died after a few seconds passed.

Under their helmets, the soldiers' ears were ringing with a few among them injured, small rivulets of blood streamed down their cheeks as their sight trembled due to their disorientation.

Even in their state, they didn't drop their weapons as they could feel that the explosives didn't stop the beasts advance. The trembling ground under their legs caused them to nearly break down as they the dense smoke around the destructed wall slowly disappear as one beast after another made its way to the city.

The most colossal beast could easily fit inside of an ample parking, nearing the size of a small house. As for the tiniest creatures, they still toppled earth's soldiers' size by at least two heads and were far from being seen as trivial.

The first group of creatures to enter the city from the massive pieces of steel and rubble came into view in the soldiers' eyes. The wild bloodl.u.s.t that flickered in their eyes clearly showed the citizen that they had turned into preys for them.

”Hold the formation tight!”, roared of the leading figures of the northern army. His engine roared as he skillfully flew between the soldiers, readying them for the incoming physical confrontation.

Although the citizens that used to live near the walls had been extracted into safer zones, those people were still living in a few streets nearby.

”Do not fear about your life! Do not lose faith on your capacities as today, we will show them that we can take them down!?”, his voice ringed at the end of his speech. His action went on line with his word, and he darted straight for the first line of MechSuit that would meet the army of beast.

His hand moved, drawing a long and jagged blade from a metallic case that was part of his armor, and he stepped forward. A few brave men followed him, as the rest of the northern army positioned itself to secure every road that led to the inhabited street of the central district.

”Every single second we will buy for the city will mean that one more life among the citizen will have a chance to be saved.”, roared another one of the leading figure as he also showed the example.

They were aware that the walls weren't the final defense of the city, and that this event was only dangerous if they didn't manage to hold the beast, for a certain period of time.

The determination of the leading figures turned into a sporadic wave that spread through every individual of the northern army. They threw their weapon toward the firmament, roared with the resentment that was hanging in their souls, and darted toward the approaching beast wave, without any hesitation in their steps.

One way or another, those men were vowed to die by the end of this day. The moment, that truth was accepted in their hearts, a change had taken place in their souls. They didn't breakthrough mortality, but the event had nonetheless, still caused a change to happen in the core of their souls.

Something that only a few individuals had come to understand in their life. Due to the specials events that had unfurled, a few individuals among the northern army had been blessed with that change.

”Do not break through this formation!”

”We are the last line of defense of the city! We fall, New Casablanca fall!”, their voice contained the urgency of the moment. ”We are stopping them! Right here! Right now!”, engines roared as numerous figures broke the line of the northern army.

Rays of light appeared everywhere- directed at the humongous creature- as the nuzzles of the MechSuits turned fiery red from the intense usage.

”One minute!”, roared one of the leading figures that received a long-distance message. ”We have been ordered to hold one minute!”
