The explosion's shockwave instantly destroyed half of the battlement, and in front of that surging torrent of magic power, the hard granite crenellations were like paper mâché!
The mercenaries standing on the walls had no chance to react, and even if they did, it would be meaningless; in minutes, they were blown away by that rampaging magic power along with their cover, hurling down below the walls.
The square inside the castle's main gatehouse was in chaos, strewn with flying rocks and mingled with severed limbs and broken bodies.
The din of the explosion drowned out the screams of agony.
And before the mercenaries lying on the ground could catch their breath, the second salvo of demon crystal cannons followed closely, overwhelming them!
"We're under attack!!"
Alarm bells rang out in a flash across the castle, the mercenaries swiftly shaken from their lethargy, frantically rushing to their battle stations.
