17 Blinded (2/2)
[At night]
”Looks like some dark clouds are heading our way, we will get soaked haha. Let's search for a hill to take shelter for tonight.” Edward's looks up above the skies while commanding his units. Predicting a fierce storm at hand.
As Edward keeps watching, the sky seems to be lighting up slowly. He is confused as to why the sky seems to be burning up with anger. As he realises gradually he could see huge fire balls falling from the sky highly aimed. And they were bigger in size too as much as the size of a two combined cannon balls.
”Fu*k it's ENEMIES! Bring the barricades. We're gonna get hit by Mortars!” Ares yelled loudly panicking for everyone to wake up from their slumber.
Suddenly the ground that everyone was sleeping began rumbling and shaking vigorously as soon as the cannon balls hit the shore of Caracus. The shockwave shook everyone who was deep into slumber. The cannon balls were leaving huge trenches wherever they made contact. Every warrior rushes to the scene with their barricades, shields and their weapons. No one is following theformation that they did on the first day. Every one was horrified and is standing at whatever location they found to stay rooted , they are standing together ready for a huge battle that is about to take place.
Two huge battle ships can be seen from the mist, slowly approaching towards Ares and the villagers. There will be at least five hundred soldiers in those both ships combined. Numbers wise, Caracus and Mindoro are a hundred more but the people in the battleships are elite soldiers, deadly trained with highly weaponry compared to normal villagers who were braced with ordinary ones.
Out of nowhere all of Mindoro villagers and Ares party is standing inside surrounded by Caracus warriors that rushes and positioned outside with the barricades and shields seeming to protect them from the enemies.
*”What is this uneasy feeling? Something is not right”* Ares keeps hesitating while trying to process what was happening in front of him.
Suddenly the barricades and shields which are supposed to protect them from the enemy attacks are turned inside. It's like Caracus is not holding barricades to stop enemy, but holding it inside surrounding every villager of Mindoro as if they have made a cage of barricades with Mindoro inside.
What is this new turn of events when everything is already in chaos?
500 warriors of Caracus surrounded the puny 100 Mindoro villagers. As everyone from Mindoro is perplexed. An old guy with an evil smile walks towards this mob while his hands are crossed behind him as if he is pulling something. And literally behind him are the corpses of supporters and messengers who belonged to Mindoro Village being dragged down by Nero and the rest of the Caracus villagers.
Every villager standing inside the cage of barricades realised they were tricked!.They were betrayed and trapped ”simply blinded by trust” and everyone lost hopes on their lives.
”WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU DOING NEROO!” Ares shouts on the top of his lungs while watching the villagers who helped him, came to fight for him were now lying lifeless while Nero is laughing like a maniac- a madman.
