"What just happened?"
Lightning felt her head swimming. By the time she returned to the present, she found herself surrounded by numerous long black needles as thick as a man's finger. These lusterless crystals landed in the vicinity of the railway, point down, quivering like black swords.
Then, a few more blasts from the encampment shattered the silence of the night.
"This is... an attack!"
The enemy had sent the Spider Demons to attack the Expedition Corp!
By the time Lightning realized what had happened, the enemy had started their second round. This time, however, the noise did not come from the sky but traveled through the trembling ground underneath, thudding as if a heavy object were smashed into the earth.
"Oh, no..." Lorgar muttered under her breath. "That's where the Longsong Cannons are."
