The army of evolved beasts has been standing still for a few minutes since their arrival. But as soon the north wall fell due to the ent.i.ty's attack, it was as though a chain reaction had started.

One the beast took the first step toward the steel pile of rubble that had been standing solidly as the north wall. As soon as that creature took the first step, the rest followed in a ma.s.sive advance that caused an upheaval in the ground.

A giant cloud of dust rose from their position as they began advancing toward the ma.s.sive opening in the defenses of New Casablanca. It was as though a veil of darkness was gradually making its way toward the city, preying to invade from the opening made by the holy being.

MechSuits rose from the pile of steel; their mind disoriented from the event that just happened, and their innards twisted from the sight of the destructed wall.

Those who have stayed to face the beast were part of the bravest soul of the city, the cream of the crop from the soldiers that had changed during the past two days. The constant fighting had caused them to develop into a.s.sets that would have been vied by any city-state on Earth.

They turned around, looking to help their engulfed comrade before noticing the advancing clouds of dust in the distance. Their parched lips opened as it took them a few seconds to understand that the attack had begun.

Disoriented and unprepared, the soldiers sped their works as they took away ma.s.sive pieces of steel away from the engulfed MechSuits. In the deadly situation, they didn't hesitate to make their engines roar as they tried saving their peers from the ma.s.sive weight that threatened to crush them alive.

Walter was in this situation, he had been surprised by the event and had ended up with leg blocked under a ma.s.sive steel pike that weighed a few tones. Johnny was currently standing in front of him, and he had reacted swiftly when the destruction had arisen and had taken flight and managed to avoid any damage.

His steel gauntlets were clenched around the ma.s.sive steel pike. Under his helmet, an unsightly expression was placarded on his face as he used his utmost strength to release his foster father. He was soon joined by Ronnie, and a few other soldiers that began helping him in freeing Walter.

Thankfully, MechSuits granted inhuman strength to the weakest of soldiers. And with a common push, in a right angle, they managed to free Walter's leg from being crushed by the steel pike.

Thanks to their team work, the soldiers managed to free most of the unscathed Mechsuit and began preparing the- soon to be- confrontation with the beasts. Sadly, a few unlucky soldiers had disappeared from the rank of the northern army.

Their brothers in arms were unaware if they had deserted, or had simply been killed by the falling tons of steel material of the north wall. The ma.s.sive steel debris had piled up on the ground, with some having attained a height of a few dozens of meters. n.o.body knew if those poor souls were still alive under the debris, slowly dying due to lack of oxygen, or had been crushed during the impact.


Thankfully, the northern army wasn't left enough time to think about those cases and had methodically begun preparing for the confrontation. Their resolute steps took them to a clear place in front of the ma.s.sive debris, as they began grouping in many lines.

Walter was among them, and with other experimented soldiers, he began directing the many lost soldiers to enter their formation.

"Gather round!", he roared as his figure moved from one place to another.

"Melee weapon users, protect the front and sides!", roared another voice that was helping the small army formed into a cohesive force.

Every single second was counted, and with their time, limited, their voices contained the urgency and alarm of the situation. By the time the ma.s.sive clouds that hid the beast entered their range of fire, the northern army had managed to gather in a small formation.

That stood in front of the ma.s.sive hole of the circular wall that circled around New Casablanca.

"Load your weapons!"

"Unload!". Several voices spoke at the same time, issuing the order in a synchronized manner that would have made anyone doubt if it wasn't a single individual leading the calls.

A glistening firework was spewed out from the rifle in the hand of the small army of MechSuits. Bullets pierced through the air in the direction of the ma.s.sive billow of dust standing in front of them.

Cowards die many times before their deaths;

The valiant never taste of death but once.

Of all the wonders that I yet have heard,

It seems to me most strange that men should fear;

Seeing that death, a necessary end,

Will come when it will come.

One of the northern army's leader quoted an earthling author of past times. He knew that the chances of them surviving the confrontation with the ma.s.sive beasts were close to zero.

As he led the army, his thought was filled with many verses that eased his heart from the cries of the battlefield.

The first gust of bullets disappeared inside of the billowing avalanche of dust that was making its way toward the hole in the walls of the city. It was as though the fiery ammunition had been shot at the surface of the water, with no effect except from the slight movement they caused in the surface of the veil of darkness surrounding the beasts.

"Load!", the voices turned coa.r.s.er from the stress.

"Shoot!"

The cycle was once again repeated, albeit faster. The avalanche of soil raised from the beasts' advance turned higher and higher as it approached their position.

By the time the northern army unloaded their magazines for the third time, the veil of darkness had turned akin to a tsunami of dust in their eyes.

Yet, even in that state, none of them took flight as they hold their ground in a determinate manner. A few preyed past G.o.ds to help their family survive what would come next.

Some had their body move in an automatic manner, as their mind had shut down their thought in front of death. They emptied their rifles on the ma.s.sive advancing clouds, before reloading in a lightning fast manner.

The moment the beast wave stood twenty meters away from the northern army. Their legs trembled as they lost balance in their footing due to the earthquake caused by the weights of the advancing giant creatures.

"Fly! Do not throw your life away!", Walter roared as his MechSuit engine kicked in. No one hesitated as they trusted their comrade, and every MechSuit in the northern army left the grounds as they continued using every single ammunition they had with them.

"Made every second gained count.", screamed someone as he flew through the humongous pile of steel that had been the north wall. Without having to utter a single order, a few individuals flew there in a synchronized manner and planted every single bomb they had among the steel jungle that stood in front of the city.

Johnny was part of those individuals, he retreated at lightning fast speed toward the hole in the walls. His hand moved, as he threw chunks of explosive material as though he was leaving snacks for the advancing beasts.

The beast wave advanced, and the small north army retreated as they did their best to use every weapon they had at hand. And what was vowed to happen, happened. One of the MechSuit retreated back, his hands empty as he had dismantled his ammoless energy rifle in a split second.

He grabbed the energy crystal that was nearly empty, and threw himself inside of the tsunami-like wall of dust that was threatening to swallow the city.

He laughed in a maddened manner as he didn't hesitate to start the implosion of his MechSuit. Sadly, as soon as the armored figure of the soldier approached the beasts.

A gigantic jaw- filled with hundreds of thin sharp teeth- broke away from the veil of dust surrounding the beast, and swallowed the soldier in one bite. A m.u.f.fled explosion resounded soon after, quickly disappearing as it was overpowered by the enormous local noise produced by the battlefield.

Soon, his sacrifice wasn't the only one in the north battlefield, as a few other soldiers threw themselves near the beast wave; Turning into streaking comets that turned into bright suns from a distance.

The north army retreated past the steel jungle, and made their way through the city before positioning themselves in the streets of their city.

The deadly silence of the city contrasted heavily with the sounds outside of it. And before long, a tremendous and powerful, shockwave spread as the soldiers detonated the explosive they've put in the debris of the wall.
