While Star, Lumine, and March 7th exchanged information at the Frostmoon Scions' base, the explosions in the middle of Hiisi Island continued without end.
However, when Columbia and Dan Heng approached the blast zone, they both froze for a moment.
With explosions going off so densely, they assumed the local defenders must be fighting a fierce battle against the Frenzied Hunt.
They weren't wrong about the combatants. Once they got closer, they saw that the two forces fighting here were indeed the Frostmoon Scions' guards and the Frenzied Hunt.
Calling it a fierce battle wasn't wrong, either. The fighting was certainly intense.
Except the Frenzied Hunt, despite vastly outnumbering the Frostmoon Scions' defenders, was getting beaten one-sidedly.
And it wasn't because the Frostmoon Scions had some powerful warrior who could take on ten thousand foes and charge into the Frenzied Hunt alone to mow them all down.
The Frostmoon Scions' victory could be summed up in one word: Technology Overwhelm.
That's right. What Columbia and Dan Heng saw in the middle of Hiisi Island was a modern force bullying a primitive one.
As everyone knew, behind the enormous statue of the Moon God at the Sunward Terrace in central Hiisi Island lay a natural cliffside gorge that cut diagonally across the island, dividing it in two.
The Frostmoon Scions had built no bridge over the gorge. If you had a Wind Glider, you could fly across by taking advantage of the difference in elevation between the north and south sides.
Jumping across directly was beyond ordinary people. At the very least, the brainless members of the Frenzied Hunt couldn't manage it.
Fortunately, the beach in southern Hiisi Island was level, and the water was shallow where they needed to wade. The Frenzied Hunt could charge straight from the beach toward
