Chapter 1972 Fireballs From The Sky
Chapter 1972 Fireballs From The Sky
Coby rubbed his chin thoughtfully. Well, it wasn't all hell. Every Saturday and Sunday evenings, they would gather in the big Cinema hall to watch TV. Hey… they would watch the latest shows and movies, which was quite enjoyable. But from Monday to Friday, they trained so hard that even their blisters had blisters. On the weekends, they could get massages from the military doctors, go watch TV, swim, and have access to their ship's library.
They also went through briefing and mission simulations so many times that Coby swore he could narrate his duties off by heart. He had also mastered the map very well, especially when they were tested on their mission every 3 days. Anyone who fails or slacks would get one hell of a punishment that Coby dared not mention. Things continued this way until soon, Coby found himself dumbfounded when listening to the broadcasted message. It seems they were going to reach their targeted continent in 2 days. (-_-)
What the heck? So soon? Just when he was getting used to his sweet life on deck? Tsk. No wonder pirates love the seas so much. Just his time aboard the ships made him feel more outdoor in his life than before. Now, the nervous feeling he long buried, came rising out like a thundering storm. …
In a blink of an eye, the ships were at a safe distance from the shores of Lampe-Adonis. But you see, the place they would be targeting was not a Coastal region, but a location several settlements away from any coastal region. Coby soon found himself flying in an aircraft and getting dropped off by parachute. He and many others of course didn't parachute alone. They had Baymardians each parachute with them. Then, they watched the Baymardians also scout for open areas before using their Meg iron man suits to slowly bring out vehicles from the massive cargo planes and transport the vehicles down. Incredible! They really carried tanks like Superman and other heavy objects, flying up and down to continue transportation. And then, when everyone was settled in the vehicles and everything was ready for departure, the group finally headed for Craywing Town. Know that their task was to Hit Craywing Town's North Side, while others hit the south, the east and the west. Of course, as for the central part of the city, specific teams will swoop in at least several hours after the attack commences. Why?
Because by then, most of the powerful Adonis forces within the town, would have sent enemy soldiers by horseback to head to the walls and kill off all invaders. So what do you think would happen when they are halfway through their joinery to the gates and get wind of an attack on the Central parts they just left? How do you think the Kardinals who were practically town/city Lord's, the Battlefords and the Adonis whatnots would attack after seeing chaos coming at them from all angles?
. Boom! Boom! Boom! The heavens crackled so loudly that even the citizens hidden in their homes, began shivering like crazy. Understand that Adonis, although powerful and somewhat good in their brainwashing with the citizens, still made their citizens shiver and cower in fear. That's why homes in Adonis were different from homes anywhere else. Know that people became so creative with bolts and locking mechanisms that you would think they would have been true locksmiths in their past lives. Their homes had underground bunkers, hidden rooms, doors that were built supper thicker than average, all to avoid these Adonis Kardinals and Adonis workers patrolling their streets every day. Adonis had a strict curfew unlike other places in the world. Would you believe that their curfew was 8PM? After 8 PM, anyone on the streets without special permission would get taken to the 'Temple' for discipline. Again, they also can't leave their homes until 8 AM too. Adonis controls…Adonis is lord… Adonis is life. So they must live by Adonis' rules or get killed, makes, raped, or sent into slavery. Again, if a family has more than 3 sons and they aren't 'noble,' the 4th, 5th or 6th will be taken by Adonis upon birth. For women, after 2 daughters, the rest are taken away too.
These were Adonis' commandments! "Son, don't open the windows!"
"Daughter, no matter what, stay down the hole!"
"Wife, you are carrying my son in your womb… Don't look out!"
Several people stayed in their homes, nervous and anxious about the strange noises from outside their homes.
.
"His Holiness, Kardinal Norman! A breach! A breach! Outsiders have invaded our sacred lands. So tell us what to do and we will follow!" The moment the news came, Kardinal Norman kicked the many naked women in his bed, rushing out to wear his sacred battle armor. "Where are they attacking from?" "Kardinal, we've gotten word it's from the East walls!" "Quickly! Take 15,000 men and head to the North Walls!"
Go! Norman hastily wore his battle armor that was blessed by the Holy Feather's powers. And only then did he wear his Priestly robes and battle hat. His battle golden staff that had a hidden sword in it, was also at hand. Normal was just about to leave his chambers when another and another, and another messenger came running in. "Kardinal! Urgent news! Enemy attack on the North Walls!"
"Enemy Attack on the West Walls!"
"Enemy on the South walls!"
"..."
1, 2, 3… BAM!
Norman smashed his clenched fists at the wall, completely understanding their current situation. Surrounded. They were utterly surrounded in all directions. When dares enter their holy lands without fear? Are they mad? Is their shit made of daisies? How dare they get the gallbladder, the kidney, the liver… the heart to attack them in their own Adonis soil? .
Bam! Norman slammed the but of his staff down. "Everyone, calm the f**k down." Norman's aura and his husky but audible voice, made everyone subconsciously flinch back. "What did our great Adonis God say in the scriptures?... 'Fear Not and Stand Firm, for I will always be with you.' So why are you running smoke like headless cocks who died before touching hens?"
Besides, have they forgotten that their weapons were now so superior that they could cut through human flesh like cutting through a ripened pear?
Norman scuffed arrogantly, puffing his chest and heading out for battle with his 2-headed stallion horse. Several other Battlefords, Thamans, and Monkards, also headed out with the same attitude. But 2 hours later, they only felt their bodies turn old when being surrounded by towers of fire, smoke and heat.
What was worse was that the town's central plains on their left, were now under attack by drops of explosive fires from the heavens. No! Not his City Lord Palace!
Kardinal Norman had no tears but wanted to cry. Mommy… who opened the hell's portal here in their very own Adonis? Boom! Boom! Boom! The destruction continued on like so, but Kardinal Norman wasn't the only one who felt this way.
Far, far in the Holy Capital, Java, the Adonis heir, and his father, the Holy One, were now looking at the destruction with disbelief. What was going on here?
Why were they suddenly under attack? And more importantly, where did the Holy Feather they had been guarding tightly go? "Bastard! What do you mean by saying a man in black beat you all up and when you woke up, the feather was gone? Do you know what you're saying?" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Father, why are you being calm with them? Allow me to–"
Bang! The outside grounds they were in now rumbled chaotically, causing them and many overs to steady themselves. And then, they felt a strange force push them back, and a strange heat that threatened to sever their limbs.
Augh~
Java felt his heart about to explode when slamming hard against a thick stony wall.
"What sort of force was that?"
One of the Thamans beside them slowly rose to his now blood-covered legs with a grim face. "And then, the heavens roared out in fury, sending balls of fire from above."
The scriptures were true. This must be Adonis' punishment for crimes they might have done, for the times they left some people go unpunished after disobeying Adonis' commandments.
"We are doomed, unless we—"
Plop.
The men went down on his injured knees, raising his hands out of his long robes in prayer.
"Oh great Adonis, please forgive your lambs and take them back into your flock."
Forgive them please.
BOOOM!
