Over the next few hours, starting from emplacement S137, the high-pressure rifled tubes on the wall-mounted ballista cannons along Moge City's northern wall began failing one after another. Each ballista cannon fell silent, while the number of demonized puppets charging in from the ground only grew larger and larger...
The officers and soldiers stationed atop the walls roared in fury. Some soldiers, overwhelmed with agitation, smashed their fists against the ballista cannons. Even when their fists were battered bloody, the cannons remained utterly motionless with their core components damaged.
The high-pressure rifled tube was a core component of a ballista cannon. Logically, the durability of this part, forged from special alloy, should have been beyond question. Under normal circumstances, it hardly ever needed replacing and was the most durable component of the ballista cannon. Yet now, just as Moge City's defense had reached its most critical stage, the high-pressure rifled tubes on those ballista cannons were failing one after another. This was no ordinary accident or coincidence—someone had deliberately tampered with them...
Two years ago, when the Holy War was in full blaze and the Devil Race's legions had yet to reach the Selnes Plains, Moge City's entire defense system had undergone a massive upgrade. During that upgrade, the key components of these ballista cannons had been replaced.

Only those bastards from the Three-Eyed Society had both the motive and the ability to tamper with Moge City's defense system, causing it to develop such a major problem at the most critical moment.
Without question, the Three-Eyed Society's influence
