An explosion from a mile away was no more but a flicker. If not for the sound, the shimmer of the air, and then the cold breeze of the scattered drops of water from the swamp, one could easily miss it.
But then, as Trayan's men adjusted the strange tubes according to Leo's orders, the delayed explosions grew closer.
"Fire!"
"Elevation, raise to twenty, fire!"
"Remove the rings! Elevation fifty!"
"Enemy approaching, seven hun…"
Boom!
A god's thunder struck down at a distance, freezing the brooding expression on Camila's face.
'Wait, what?'
Leo's ability to make the ground shake out in the distance was impressive, but now that his attacks moved closer from the thick part of the swamp to where the terrain was still relatively clear…
She saw it.
Strikes from above, exploding in a thousand deadly sparkles that cut through the air much faster than any ballista's bolt ever could.
