"Damn it! They've traded fine gold for artillery fire! All mages, defend with all your might!"
The red Commander shouted loudly, and immediately, all the mages ceased their attacks and switched to full defense against the Golem's artillery fire.
The brilliance of the artillery fire was almost blinding, and several mages of slightly lesser strength were instantly killed by mana backlash, their bodies pulverized. The shockwave from the cannons reached the surrounding area, injuring many warriors. But in the end, the cannon fire didn't inflict significant damage on the red side.
"Bastards!"
The blue Vice Commander raised his hand and cut the idiotic warrior, who had rashly given orders, into two. A precious opportunity for artillery fire, and they'd used it to target the enemy's Commander? What a joke! Would their mages just watch as their Commander was killed by artillery fire?
