After destroying the bridge and the towers which acted as the last line of defence, Lenin easily makes his way towards the city gate.
He predicted that the gates will be heavily protected. That was a given.
But to such an extent was out of his calculation as well.
The height of the city wall was raised as it towered over them.
Packed with cannons and spots perfect for archers.
Moreover, a huge battalion of soldiers led by Rana himself.
Looking at him, Lenin's eyes widen as his veins start popping. Blood rushing to each and every part of his body. He was filled with rage.
House Frega had a very limited amount of Ulma. But that didn't mean they were just sitting ideally. Under Deftel's instruction when he was alive they had crafted a few weapons of their own.
As a huge block of iron as big as the size of an elephant comes towards them at an unprecedented speed.
Before they realise what hit them, the ship was already sinking.
Witnessing this, the spirit of the soldiers on the wall gets reignited as they start howling.
Suddenly another block hits them. This time Lenin sees it.
It was a huge contraption built on top of the wall.
When an iron block is placed in it the device picks it up levitating it.
Then after charging up, it shoots the block at the speed of sound.
It was called The Jericho
Lenin realised that the time on the charge up was roughly twelve second and the time it took them to bring an iron block to it took about eight seconds
So he roughly had twenty seconds between each strike.
In that split second he decided to take a gamble. He told his men to advance forward.
Going back would take too much time and chances were they would still be in range of that weapon. As a result, the whole fleet will be decimated.
But if he could make it to the city wall, the angle would be too narrow for the device to work.
But that wasn't all ofcourse. Near the wall he would have to withstand the archers and the regular cannons but he was willing to take that risk.
—Snap—
Another of his ships goes down. He was left with four more.
As they reach closer. Lenin orders the use of cannons to disorient the enemy.
He finally makes it to the city wall, with three ships remaining. As the men rain arrow on them, Lenin counter fires with his more destructive weapons. But what was about to happen next was something, he could've never prepared for. The front gates open on their own. Lenin smelled the trap so he doesn't order his men to advance. Suddenly he sees a light.
Terrified, he orders his men to steer right. Realising they won't make it in time, he commands them to fire each and every cannon they had on board towards the left.
The knockback was enough to push them just out of the way as another iron block comes flying out of the gate.
Destroying the ship which was behind Lenin's.
As Lenin comprehends what just happened, he sees them preparing another round to fire.
He fires towards them with everything he has got.
Alas it was not enough.
Jericho fires another shot. But before the shot could connect, a defensive barrier covers Lenin's ship. Deflecting the shot.
On the other side, near the central gate. Horis and Karma were caught in bit of a stalemate as no parties could make any noise.
"Karma!!!
Stop this. There's still time. I have got you in all areas. Lenin's forces must have been destroyed by now. You won't last much longer either."
A huge noise is heard in the distance.
Karma laughs,"I won't be so sure if I were you. Afterall there's still one area left." Saying this he points upwards,"The Sky, that is!!"
As Horis looks up he is shaken to his core.
Karma looks at him," congratulations Horis! You just became part of the moment warfare was changed forever."
A huge battle blimp flies over them. Ingrid was incharge of it.
Karma shouts,"Took you long enough!!"
"Oh well I'm sorry it's not like it's my first time flying " Ingrid shouts right back.
"Now then, let's get this party started!''
Ingrid launches a full assult. Raining down arrows and explosives on the Frega base.
Over at the river gate, as the smoke clears, Banshee, reveals himself with a huge blimp of his own.
