The captain craned his neck away from Wease and Hex as they twisted into an alley far away and out of sight.

He casts a quick glance at all of his Outwood Knights as they arm themselves and wait for him to take command. He hoped the weaponry they were equipped with paid off handsomely.

Most of the weaponry they carried on the field with them had not yet been tested, so if they failed at this point, they would be finished.

"Captain!" The captain cast his gaze up to the roof of the next building, where one of his scouts stood, practically out of breath and panicked.

The captain grasped what his Knight was referring to so well that he did not need to say anything further. "Light up their asses!"

The scout immediately exited the structure with a rope he had hung there. There was genuine battle on the horizon, therefore it would be wise to stay with the crowd.

The tank's occupants pointed their weapons upward. Three massive weapons could be found on the tank.

While the others leveled their rifles in unison at the buildings.

"Tanks ready!"

"Knights ready!"

The captain drew a little riffle, retreated slightly, but remained in front of his teammates. "Tanks!"

BOOOM! The tank's guns fired quickly, creating thunderous explosion sounds as big rounds soared aimlessly through the air.

The knights were overjoyed to discover that their ace had really worked, but the Captain disagreed.

"Load in the bullets!" The captain cried back at them with shaky voice. His stomach dropped and his heart trembled at what was about to happen.

In a second, the entire earth shook and rumbled as if a stampede was approaching.

The soldiers did not lose time following the Captain's orders to the letter. "Ready sir!"

"Men aim at any cursed ones that come your way!" The Captain barked out.

"Arrrrrrgggggh!" His men gave a great battle cry to reply their Captain's order.

BOOOOM!

The structures in front gave way just in time to be ripped apart by dozens of Cursed giants, accompanied by hundreds of Earth dwellers.

"Fire!"

***

The captain wastes no time aiming and firing two rounds into the air. The bullets met with the heads of various Earth dwellers causing their heads to explode into waves of blood killing them.

His team does the same laying waste to dozens of Earth dwellers with their precise headshots.

The advantage they now had was the Cursed ones' distance from them.

'The idea of long ranged weapons are the best!'

The Cursed Giants were now the sole major challenge and impediment.

Their bullets were far too small and with less fire power they merely charred the Cursed giant's skin.

BOOOM! BOOMMM!!!

The tank shot continuously, aimed toward the giants. The shots struck some of the giants in the skull and others in the neck, shattering the target and causing the remainder of the Cursed giant's body to collapse face down.

With each round fired by the tank, the Cursed giant's number decreased significantly.

And with the Knights shooting and killing multiple Earth dwellers it would seem they had a chance to hold this position for hours.

The Captain was not the kind to trust such low chances, so he evaluated the most serious dangers, which were the Cursed Giant's.

One round was not always enough to take them down; sometimes three tank shots were required.

'At this rate we will surely run out of bullets in the next few minutes!'

The Captain cocked his head back and yelled at the top of his lungs to drown out the thunderous sound of gunfire.

"Five men, arm the cannons and take the Giants to hell."

Five Knights immediately obeyed, going on top of the tank where a massive metal cannon-like gun was stationed; it required five persons to easily manage the firepower, and this was the only way to prevail.

Three Cursed Giants rushed forward, running even faster at them, while the Captain stared.

'Do they know what we plan?'

The captain became upset, saying, "Prepare the cannon!" He had never seen Cursed Giants exhibit such tenacity. The captain motioned for his soldiers to pick up the pace.

.

"Sir we have aim!" One of them eventually yelled out as the giants approached. "Should we....."

"Fire!!!" The Captain responds with a high-pitched scream.

BOOOOMMM!

The roar and wind from the exploding bomb shocked everyone, dazing them in place.

Fwuuullp!

As the bomb collided with the first Cursed giant's head, it ripped it apart with an explosion, shattering the head and causing the body to drop to the floor.

ROOOOAAAAARRRR!!! Remarkably, the other two quickened their pace, their powerful strides causing the earth to tremble even more.

Booommm!! The following bomb struck the next cursed giant's neck, completely destroying it and decapitating it.

'One more to go!' The Captain yelled within.

BOOOOM! The bomb went flying at it's head.

Fwuuullp!

The Cursed giant side stepped letting the bomb pass by it. Before resuming it's pursue.

"What the fuck?" The Captain's feet moved automatically backward. "This is impossible."

Shuuuulllm!

With its mouth gaping, the Cursed monster dove into the air and swooped down to take a massive bite out of them.

BOOOOMMM!

The bullet strikes the Cursed giant's head, fully shattering it, yet it is insufficient to stop the body from plunging.

"Men ru....."

BOOOOMMM! Numerous Outwood Knights were killed as the giant's body collided with the earth, and the remaining knights were flung skyward by the force of the impact, toppling their cherished tank.

Just the strength of one Cursed Giant! All the ill-fated Knights have been vanquished.

The last line of defenseโ€”what a waste!
