163 War of the Armies (1/2)
Dragonborn was with a crowd advancing forward.
Above their heads, a large roaring Airship occupied most of the sky. It was moving slowly forward. Then there were…
”Boom—!”
”Boom—!”
With the consecutive booming sounds, blinding brilliance erupted in the midst of the Ancient Gods army. A large portion of the army was decimated.
Magic Cannons on the Airship fired continuously at the enemy like the flooding rain.
Dragonborn felt his ears going deaf with the explosions and roaring Airship propulsion. His ears were ringing, and he felt dizzy.
Cheering was heard coming from the Eternal Fire camp.
The Airship accelerated as it advanced forward.
There was a commotion at the rear of the Eternal Kingdom camp. They passed the message forward, and it reached Dragonborn.
”Sister Vanas told us to fight bravely. The Magic Machine Guns team will provide us support. If the situation turns against us, the guns will provide long range firepower!”
”It's hilarious. Aren't we becoming anti-retreat troops? Whoever isn't fighting well will be blown to bits!”
”Sh*t, can you stop teasing me? It's not easy for me to be in the mood, d*mn! Hahahaha!”
”This is going to be exciting. We'll brace for friendly fire while we advance.” TakeASpearHit was as happy as a lark.
”The Ancient Gods army is charging!”
”The front line troops will brace their shields. Those at the rear, stop charging!”
”Listen to the commands! Otherwise, we'll be annihilated!”
”This is the second phase! Buck up!”
At the Eternal Kingdom camp, there was cheering, while at the Eternal Fire camp, huge shields were placed in front of their formation.
The gamers followed the NPCs and braced the shields on the ground.
”Brace yourselves—!”
The shouting echoed on the battlefield. It wasn't known whether a gamer shouted or an NPC shouted.
The rumbling of the beasts came closer and closer. The ground started quaking.
Dragonborn felt his adrenaline pumping. Though he was in a game, the battle felt completely real. It was to the point that he almost forgot he was in a game.
Explosions were heard coming from the front. The Airship fired the white flashing Magic Cannons to open up the way and break up the Ancient Gods army into pieces.
The two opposing front lines collided.
”Pom—!”
Dragonborn heard the collision sounds of bodies against shields. The gamers' shouts were drowned by the beastly roars of the monsters.
Some red-skinned monsters leaped above their heads and landed behind the shield wall. More and more red-skinned monsters jumped over the shield wall.
Dragonborn turned his head to glance at the adjacent Eternal Fire camp.
The Eternal Fire army formation was mowing down the Ancient Gods army with high efficiency.
Dragonborn felt that was the real army battle!
The gamers were comparatively less efficient.
As the gamers' formation was weak and there was varying quality at the front row, more and more red-skinned monsters charged into their formation.
Soon, some monsters appeared before Dragonborn.
