His eyes narrowed in concern as the old officer's voice thundered from behind.
"HOLD ON TO SOMETHING! LET THEM HAVE A TASTE OF HUMAN POWER!"
Hurriedly following the command, he crouched behind the dented alloy and grabbed a metallic section of the wall, feeling its cold surface caress his skin before...
BOOOOOOOM
A terrifying explosion deafened him. Burning and violent gales battered the metal as an ominous dust cloud reached for the blackened sky.
SHRIEK
Agonising shrieks reverberated across the battlefield, followed by loud crashing noises.
After enduring the shaking and disorientation, the original staggered to his feet, ears buzzing. Using the alloy for support, he shook his head to clear it and peered at the swarm below. Despite his blurry vision, a sense of elation washed over him.
Perhaps they would survive today.
