My Space-Time System-Chapter 584 War of Empires.
584 War of Empires.
Once Dorian was done with his speech, the members of the League of Assassins were deployed to different border cities.
To the inhabitants and Ash Corps of Coastville, it was just another day, but that was until The Square detected five high-energy signals that flew above the building.
This was a clear act of provocation!
Immediately, the General in charge of the city as well as other high-ranking members of the Corps flew out to meet the enemies.
"Who dares?!" The General screamed as he and 8 others flew to meet the intruders who were obviously tired of living.
At that moment, Seraphina, infamously known as Tempestblade, an Angel realm member of the league appeared; bringing the League's number to six.
Seraphina was a deadly and elusive female assassin renowned for her mastery of lightning and wind magic. She was a striking figure in the world of contract killing, known for her lethal grace and uncanny ability to disappear without a trace.
'Shit!' The general who was an Ordained angel (first stage) cursed as he immediately stopped in his tracks at the appearance of the Prevalent Angel (2nd stage), but it was already too late as he had fallen for their trap.
BOOM!
In the next instant, Tempestblade Seraphina unleashed a lightning bolt that tore through all his defences and instantly turned him into blood mist.
Almost instantly, the charging Major generals stopped in their tracks as they were consumed by both fear and confusion.
"Begin!" Without caring about the remaining Ash corps as they posed no threat, Seraphina gave the signal for the second phase of their plane.
The remaining 5 members of the league lifted their hands and began channelling mana, causing a large array to appear over the Square.
Sensing the danger coming from the array, the Ash corps that had dashed out immediately rushed back into the Square before a fiery orange barrier enveloped it.
"Fools! Why would we attack your turf if we are not confident about breaking through your defences." Seraphina shook her head as she saw them returning to the Square.
"Not only are their minds consumed by fear, but they feel we have no idea of the Square's defences." Specter Dimitri chuckled.
In less than 2 minutes, the array was completed and ready to activate.
Fire!
Immediately, Seraphina gave the order, the dark clouds that had formed over them released massive thunderbolts into the array which in turn amplified it and sent it straight at the Square.
On seeing the array fully form, those who retreated into the confines of the Square realized their mistake as the amplified thunderbolts came down on them.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
However, their expectation of the entire square exploding didn't come to pass. Instead, the lightning had crashed down specific sections of the Square that housed inter-city warp arrays.
"They are trying to cut off back up." The Deputy City General muttered in hopelessness as he saw the multiple floors that had been instantly blown apart by the explosion. 𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗰𝗼𝐦
At the same time outside the city; the Ash corps mounted at the boundaries of Coastville (The walls rose and fell when needed) were still wondering what the hell was going on back at the square when they noticed the hundreds of ships rising from underwater.
"We are under attack!"
The Major in charge of that section of the boundary sounded the alarm.
Immediately, the city wall shot up from underwater and the Ash corps present wasted no time taking their positions.
Instantly, the city and wall barriers were activated, and the cannons were equipped by the Ash corps, ready to let loose. However, this was all within the expectations of the invaders.
The moment they had made sure Coastville wasn't getting reinforcements any time soon, the members of the League of Assassins went straight to the boundaries and began attacking those at the wall.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"What in the All-Father's name is going on?" The Major felt confused and helpless as he saw tens of his men falling like flies in a matter of seconds.
With the defenders fighting for their lives within the barrier, the hundreds of Leviathan's Embrace that made their way out of the Ultra-long-distance underwater, safely and steadily drew closer to the city.
Seeing this, as well as the lack of response from the Square, the Major knew they had no chance on both sides. Without wasting another second, he began screaming. "We surrender! We surrender!"
When this happened, the members of the League reined their spells of destruction, and the Ash corps immediately went on their knees.
"Deactivate the barrier, and take down the walls!" Seraphina ordered the Major as she landed beside him.
With shivering bones and a fear-filled heart, the Major wasted no time doing as he was told. The barriers and walls went down, allowing the ships to dock, and forces of the Tigeria Empire to disembark.
"Thanks for your assistance. If not for you guys, it would have been a pain in the arse capturing the city." Granick, the councillor leading the attack at this part of the empire said to Seraphina.
"No need to thank me, we are all brothers in arms," Seraphina replied.
(AN: I am not sure brothers in arms is the correct term even when the opposite gender is involved. So if you know the correction please reach out to me in the comment section.)
…
The attack on a coastal city wasn't only taking place in Coastville. The same approach had been used to simultaneously capture all of them, and this was causing a lot of problems in the camp of the Synder empire.
"Status report!" Cinder said in an enraged tone as this time he was no longer sitting on his throne. Instead, he was standing in front of a war table with the four councillors also gathered by the table.
The air in the room was heavy and hot, there was no time for any sort of tomfoolery as the war had officially begun.
