Chapter 387: The Battle Of Winterhold (4) : Hour Of The Deaf (1/2)
The Pheno so dreadful that it becahtmare for every enemy of Winterhold since this day
The Deaf Battle, the Day of the Unmusic, the Unrecorded… too many names to describe an artificial event equivalent to a natural disaster
How exactly does it work? No one knew
Actually, no one could know
The Area of the Unmusic was a cursed place that would snare all the colors in the world Jon ' but he knew the truth He was the architect of that forbiddenin the world The Heart of the World, which is the Heart of Lorkhan, is also called the Heart of Music
Music means existence in this world
This Music is created by everything that happens and gets recorded in the Elder Scrolls whose number is uncountable and existence is as non-linear as ti the Music of the World with Magic is known as the Tonal Magic
Overdoing it has consequences and that's what Jon did, he found a hole in the rules and used the power of the Elder Scroll to erase the ic or any sort of power to be used Only weak mortals with thin layers of are of the Old Knocker's knife
To explain this phenoon Break
The Dragon Break is called the 'Untion' (aka Time) breaks into realities that all happen at the same time and when it ends, all the realities come true even if some realities opposed each other [A/n: Hint: that's how the dwemer disappeared]
Still, this is not the relationshi+p between the 'Untime' and the 'Unmusic' The two phenomena share one similarity and that is the two of them can't be recorded by Elder Scrolls as events out of the world's control
Being out of the divines' protections, the souls of men shi+vered as they lost connection with their Patron Spirits They didn't know the feeling but their souls knew it
The Dragon Hunt Alliance soldiers were already between the points of 100 and 200back by all means
To motivate them forward, Alina ordered the bombardment
”Open Fire!”
Her voice soh the soundless zone unheard yet it reached the ears of the other people of the Alliance on the other side of the area
Expecting to see soreat fire, the heart sunk faces of the alliance commanders jumped of its places when they saw the scene next to appear
Beay came out of the barrel-shaped objects fixed on the second walls, those beams traveled in an instant and landed on the bodies of the soldiers and the ground near the scene to unfold
As each beam landed, it disappeared and cluster eruption accompanied by a shock wave occurred in where it landed The effect was soul crushi+ng
None of the soldiers that were hit with the beams survived
Broken liments of bones and iron
It was not a battle, it was destruction
The battle didn't even start and a thousand died in less than a rim it was
The soldiers ran around like rats and hid where they could hide Those on the ground withered in agony and those who could run hid behind rocks and covered areas
It worked
Cannon fire was effective on tight groups and not on wide loose forround, run out of sight or blend with surrounding were safe for a moment
Still, they ay too close to death and literally playing on its pal on every corner on the land The snow that settled on the land for years was ju up with fierce eruptions that most likely was accoate froicka Cannons didn't stop until five icka Reactors in these cannons They needed at least a day to recharge or a change or reactors
From the point of view from the second wall of Saarthal where the cannons are position, the rocky plain of snow in front of the first as co could be seen until a couple of e unfolding was hellish
The Dare Troopers kept looking in frigid hearts at what happened to the eneures, ones kneeling and wailing soundlessly to the skies, ones lying broken, ones barely e to look around them and beyond their covers at Saarthal
Froe, half of theicka Cannon Fire
Stillness and silence overtook the air both in the inside and the outside of the soundless zone All just waiting to see what happens next
Whose turn was it again?
None could tell!
Should the Dare Troopers on the wall start hunting the enemies with their crossbows?
None could know!
What now?
Jonrad looked at Alina and wanted to say solared at hi an inner conflict with herself
In her entire life, her first student was Jon and her second was Alina She enjoyed teaching the two prodigies quite a lot but her teachings led to such death and destruction
War was never like that in her head, it was about skill and tactic yet now, things were rather depressing
She kept her ies around so that she can protect Alina and also tell Jon's location At thatheartbeat-like pulse from Jon's direction and her eyes widened
All her depressing thoughts went away
Those ould want to haro to hell as far as she could care whether it is a thousand or a hundred thousand She felt ashao
Hilda was already hell-bent onthat whole ar but it brought joy to her heart
