"Rumble!"
Five hundred Domain Sequence invaders launched a joint assault.
Several white rifts twisted open across the sky, and their blinding light became a furious storm.
The rubble on the ground floated weightlessly, then was swiftly crushed to dust.
This world-destroying power instantly awakened the fear buried deep in everyone's memories of the day the apocalypse descended.
Wei Rulai continued organizing his troops' defense, ordering them to expend every reserve tool and trump card they had and fight to the death without retreating.
Yan Bunan's side, however, seemed cowed by the enemy's might. At his orders as Commander-in-Chief, his troops kept falling back, already abandoning their position along the War Readiness Zone's defensive line.
The Mobile Defense Fortresses of Wei Rulai and Yan Bunan were hammered into a purely defensive stance, unable to strike back at all.
William and Margaret, meanwhile, continued advancing.
Margaret in particular had led her five hundred troops to within a hundred meters of the defensive fortress.
"Oh, these pathetic little worms have been scared out of their wits." Margaret sneered.
To cut off this supporting force's retreat completely, her troops spread into a fan formation and launched another fierce, close-range assault on Yan Bunan.
Just as William was leading his troops steadily forward-
"Bang, bang, bang!"
A series of explosive reports suddenly rang out behind their formation.
Flesh suddenly burst from the bodies of dozens of Domain Sequence invaders bombarding the Mobile Defense Fortress.
As their flesh split open, their true bodies were exposed beneath the armor made of flesh.
This unexpected attack injured them to varying degrees.
Fortunately, their formation held, and their collective defense distributed the damage, preventing any fatalities.
Looking stunned, they stopped what they were doing and glanced around.
William knitted his brows and barked, **"Damn it, who launched that attack?!
