"Shhhjjggggg," the Demon Whale fired at the blood-mane lion from the sky, causing it to fall back in an attempt to dodge.
The blood-maned lion looked up in the sky at the demon whale and growled, It was angered by the presence of the demon whale and responded with its own attack.
Down on the battle field, the men who saw the Demon Whale couldn't help but scream happily with glee; the guardian of the city had finally showed up to save them.
Or at least hold back the giant blood mane lion.
"Resume the barrage ," a command came in from a speaker behind the defense line.
"Resume the barrage!"
"Resume the barrage!"
The high-ranking officers started commanding their men to attack the hoard.
As the giant blood-maned lion was distracted, they didn't have to worry about him sneaking up on them when they were engaging a separate enemy.
Inside the Warhawk Academy
"Woh, back on track." Troy sighed in relief as he stared attentively at the battlefield and its happenings.
Wilder didn't judge him though; it was only natural for them to feel this way. This fight would probably mark whether they would die or end up surviving this ordeal.
"boom"
"ah? Special forces have arrived." Troy exclaimed
Several armored vehicles rode into the battle field and stopped a few meters after the defense line.
"special forces!!" One of the soldiers exclaimed, and not even a second later, the doors to these vehicles swung open as several men in bulky uniforms stepped out from the back of the vehicles.
They weren't the only types of units that stepped out, though.
There was another unit of soldiers that showed up. They had big wheels attached to the sides of their legs, enabling them to move at lightening speeds. They also had lazer guns of considerable strength.
"lets go!!" The special forces men moved forward and started acting like a barrier between the monsters that were pushing forward and the defense line.
"Knights and archers?" Wilder commented
These troops seemed to be modeled after the knights and archers in the game.
For the knights, they were the bulky units; they had layer upon layer of force fields surrounding them, and they were tightly fitted with metal alloy suits and long swords that had some sort of particle attached to them that seemed to cut through monster skin like butter.
As for the archer unit, though it was pretty hard to connect these two dots, it was easy to understand if one just looked at the purpose.
They were fast with the wheels attached to them, allowing them to dodge any and all attacks. They also had long-range weapons attached to their suits; if those weren't archers, then the class needed to be redefined.
"They really based the special forces off of High Heaven's game characters?" Wilder couldn't help but chuckle.
He never thought the day would come that the military would for once change their ways, but now it was happening right before his very eyes.
"We are winning!" The civilians exclaimed upon seeing the arrival of the special forces.
It meant that they were going all out in protecting the city. If the military didn't believe that they could win, they would focus more on evacuation, but for them to be pumping in more troops, it meant they had different plans.
"Burn those sons of *******."
"yes!!"
"I hope some day I can move like that."
Several voices filled with glee resounded from inside the city. They were all happy after all; they were winning the battle.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"The special forces are ripping them apart, boss." Back in the vehicle parked behind the defense, a voice resounded.
This voice belonged to a young man with glasses; upon closer examination, one could easily see that this person was the young man from the HQ of the demon whale army.
The one who had informed them of the whole situation
"Yeah, let's hope they stay down or retreat." The female officer who was in charge commented while looking at the screen with utmost attention.
"Haha, no retreat; we will have blood mane lion soup this evening," one of the officers said in a loud voice.
Just as those words left his mouth.
"boom!!"
A beam of light flashed from inside the beside the vehicle behind the defense line, blowing up a cannon.
"hm? Where did that come from?" the female officer hurriedly asked.
"Oh lord no!" she exclaimed while looking outside the window of the vehicle.
A huge blood-maned lion could be seen standing right outside the vehicle.
"How did it make it behind the defense line? What is the demon whale doing?!?" The female officer looked very angry.
She didn't care for her life in particular, even though the creature was just beside her small base here. She was still thinking of the overall battle situation.
"Boss, you have to see this," the young man with the glass struggled to speak.
But eventually, the words came out of his mouth.
"another one?"
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"shit!! There are two of them now?" The officers on the battle field looked on in horror; some even started running for their lives.
At this point in time, one would infer that their plans had completely failed.
"Do we really have to evacuate the city?" One of the officers back in the city couldn't help himself.
They were barely managing to keep this one monster at bay even with the help of the demon whale, and now they were two?
Even the women and children who were back home in the city couldn't help but feel horror at this turn of events.
A second monster In fact, this one somehow passed the defense line; if it went straight for the city, it would be a disaster.
"Mommy, are we going to die?"
"Get your things, sweetheart."
"The Army has a plan, right? They always have a plan."
They were wrong. The Army had no idea that this was going to happen.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"No choice, tell the keepers to steer the Demon Whale to take care of the one that has gotten beyond enemy lines first; we can't afford to lose civilian lives," the female officer commanded.
Their lives didn't matter; only the lives of the helpless citizens
"roger that"
And so the demon whale moved and started attacking the second creature.
But that didn't mean the first one would just leave the demon whale alone; in fact, as soon as the demon whale turned around, it was hit by a beam of energy from both sides.
It had become a two-on-one, and even though the Army tried to distract the other blood-maned lion, they failed horribly.
The two blood-maned lions were adamant on killing the guardian of the city, the last and most important line of defense for the humans in the city, the demon whale.
And they were succeeding.
Soon the demon whale was severely wounded, and the demon whale army was being decimated.
There was blood everywhere as several Blood mane lions broke through the special forces lines and killed several Demon whale Army men, and as for the Demon whale, attack after attack it screamed painfully, the blood mane lions were unrelenting
There were several holes in its body right now and the continuous attacks didn't give it time to heal
In the city the people couldn't help but feel Afraid, the men, the women, and the children tried to escape but could they out run a hoard like that ? was it even possible?
It seemed like all was lost, soon the blood mane lions would finish up with the Army and head into the city to feast on everyone
That was when
"glinggggggg"
Several shots were sent flying from inside the city towards the battle field, finally hitting the blood-maned lion.
Inside the city, all the inhabitants stared at the sky.
There was a man in all white mech armor standing just above the dome; in one hand he had a massive gatling gun and in the other a long lazer sword. There was also a sort of hallow above his head that looked more like a crown.
Wilder could also see this man; he was magnificent, and the feeling he gave off was of one who had seen through this world, someone who had been through heaven and earth.
