Chapter 609 606:Attack On Clex City[3]
The soldiers who hurried their way to the place on witnessing the emergency signal were suddenly startled hearing a loud crackling sound shaking their ear drums.
Their bodies froze and a bad premonition welled up inside their heart.
"What the hell?"
"Holyshit!"
"Damn it, this is a false signal."
"This bastard is a traitor."
The soldiers screamed in panic raising their heads towards the sky.
Beyond the expanse of wide sky, dark clouds appeared. Soon, strong gales started to blow sweeping dust and debris, followed by a flicker of lightning that soon illuminated the whole area with blinding flashes that kept on pouring one after another.
BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM
The streaks of like snakes devoured everything on getting touched and erupted like a wrath sent by the heavens.
Screams of agony and howls bellowed throughout the place. The ground trembled, and the buildings and monuments shattered into piles of rubble.
The loud explosion drew the attention of those on the defence line who momentarily lost their mind to see a blinding flash erupting several hundred metres away from them.
A scorching heatwave, causing the skin to tingle, swept through the area. The ground, now nothing but arid earth, was covered in scattered dust from the shattered building and puddles of blood from dried and fried pieces of meat lying there with widened eyes not knowing how they died.
The soldiers from Alex's side who watched Lan waving his hand as if commanding thunder and killing enemies easily, suddenly burst with loud cheers and laughter, applauding Lan for his commendable feet.
One spell, and he almost dismantled an entire sub-district of Clex City turning everything into tatters on sight.
"WOW! What a powerful spell that was!''
"Lan, I didn't know you were this brutal. You stir-fried live human beings."
"If His Highness sees this, he might be proud of you. You are truly a dragon, capable of following His Highness's path of creating mayhem and destruction."
"Hehehe!"Lan gave a weird shy smile while rubbing his nose which he lifted proudly.
However, he felt odd hearing such weird praises still he let it pass as praises were praises at the end of the day.
"Okay, enough praise for now."Lan snapped out of his moment of valour and reminded everyone.
"Now is not the time to get drunk on this little achievement. We have things to do."
"Hmm!''
The soldiers nodded following his command and started ahead seeing a flock of soldiers making their way.
"I will disrupt the enemy lines with my spells and support you while you kill your way. Remember, our task is only to draw their attention not to engage in a bloody fight so don't sacrifice your life."
"Don't worry wizard Lan, we don't plan to die so early. We are yet years ahead and a major war to accompany Highness."
One of the men spoke respectfully and gave Lan a salute, leapt ahead followed by others.
The group pulled out a spear from their rings and then threw ahead with all their might.
The spear shot like a cannon and traversed a parabola arc, on descending caught fire in mid-air and on falling exploded.
BOOM!
Soon, the enemy soldiers found themselves defending against the rain of spears that was filled with an explosive that exploded engulfing them in waves of flame.
Lan at the side, conjured a flash of lightning and whipped his hand, throwing a streak that crackles killing 2-3 people on every strike.
"Now everything depends on you Hugo, don't fail. His Highness's hopes are pinned on us."
At this level, The Lord had already capable men who could sweep away this entire place without any effort but if little things like this had to be done by a higher realm powerhouse then their existence and reason for life would be worthless.
Their Lord had trusted and had treated them like his own people, a comrade in arms. So, they can't fail and betray his expectations.
....
From underground, through a small hole, a helmet covered with rock was raised above the ground.
Hugo looked up and shivered seeing many dark clouds striking one after another.
"What a ruthless way to kill?"
"I should learn something from them."
The soldiers on defence were alerted by such a large commotion.
At first, they waited for things to calm down but heard muffled groans and screams, followed by flashes of lightning, they noticed that something was amiss and made a way to handle the chaotic situation.
Aeon, on the other side, had already retreated giving them time to breathe an air of relief. So, with no trouble at the front lines, they divided the forces.
Noticing their movements, Hugo turned back towards his man.
"Get ready."
The man nodded and pulled a large barrel containing oils, spread inside the tunnel.
Hugo, while digging the tunnel, created a large cavity that was filled with explosives.
Hugo looked up and waited for a suitable moment, screaming "Now!"
The moment he shouted, like an arrow released from now, Hugo's body shot out soaring into the sky.
Holding his shovel, coated in aura, he threw it towards a group of soldiers making a shattering sound to pull aggro.
The soldiers were startled by the appearance then around and saw a shovel, tearing the air and striking the wall.
The shovel pierced the one man's guts, snapping him into two and collided with one wall with a loud rumbling sound.
The footing on which soldiers stood cracked and the soldiers were thrown away by the force of the blast.
"Arghhh!"
"Ahhh!"
The soldier rolled and screamed, alerting everyone.
"Get that bastard."
"I will slaughter him and feed him to the dogs."
Hugo's men jumped out of the tunnel and ran back to assist Lan's team. Meanwhile, Hugo raised another shovel and ignited it to fire with a spell and gave a creepy smile that sent a shiver down the spine.
"What do liege say, at a moment like this."
"Huh...I remember now."
"Fire in the hole."
Hugo roared with sinister laughter and threw the burning shovel into the hole from where they emerged, a catastrophic explosion similar to the dumping of bombs occurred.
In the next moment, the ground around the area collapsed, and a radiant pillar of light shot towards the sky.
Several blazing pillars of crimson flames erupted from the ground one after another engulfing the entire area in dense flames.
