The light from the explosion flashed like a firefly in the night.
Van'er raised his telescope and looked toward the oasis.
The burning torches became the best way to find their targets. The torches became more intensive the closer they were to Iron Sand City. Thousands of flashing flames clearly illuminated the camp of Sand Nation, which was the main target of the artillery battalion.
After a while, the sound of a large explosion came from the depths of the oasis.
"The landing locations seem a bit unorganized," muttered Cat's Claw who was also observing.
"That's the best we could do. You know, it's difficult to set the cannon on the sand so we can only use the first shots as tests." Jop replied while loading the shell into the barrel for the next firing.
"Anyway, try to shoot further. If the shell falls on the head of His Excellency Iron Axe, we'll be done for."
