Silence. The only thing on the battlefield was Silence.The automatoms didn't speak or moved and somehow this silence scared all Player to be silent too.
Several mimutes passed until one player couldn't handle the silence anymore and charged while yelling, naturally a group of about 100 unorganised players followed but they didn't even come half the way before some Automatons moved in unison and the only thing the charging players heard was multiple clicking sounds before the were impaled be hundreds of metal bolts. Only one lucky player survived the barrage wounded but before he could be happy a metal spear came flying, nailed him to the ground and snapped with a sound that everyone the went to Johns dungeon would recognize as the sound of junkling metal snapping , he cursed the first player that charged before his vision turned black when his internals and externals were ripped appart by the shrapnells.
Many fled, even Redfist thought about retreating but his desire for revenge clouded his thinking.
only about 1500 players were left against several hundred automatons.
All players organised themselves under some leaders of the strongest guilds and waited.
John the gave the order to attack and the automatons advanced at a steady pace and held shields and weapons forward.
When the reached about half the distance the ranged automatons fired and tolk some more lifes but the most terrifying thing for the players was that suddenly several automatons with sword and shield charged forward in a soeed thatvwasn't seen yet and they even had jumping abilities and used them and their fearlessness to jump right into the enemy line where they were devastating as they struck fear in the players.
They also had an evil surprise because they were made completely out of junkling metal.
The casualties on the side of the players rose rapidly while the automatons only lost some pawns.
Now the heavy Automaton infantry advance and went into the holes of the formation the first wave created it was devastating in mere minutes most of the players were either dead or critically wounded.
Redfist tried his best he smashed robot after robot with his bare fists but saw the cruelty of war that he never anticipated the player faction nearly lost and the morale was low but suddenly someone cried as the some new automatons entered the battlefield they were no fighting but but scraplings that collected all scrap metal while ripping it out of the corpses the morale was broken only a handful carried on fighting.
Redfist suddenly knew why Cpt.Bling was traumatised but suddenly Redfist thought he saw the face of the Grim Reaper before his head left his body and his vision turned black...
