Chapter 1620 Adonis' Only Hope
Many widened their eyes in wonder, but Ezekiel reacted fast.
He felt his intuition was never wrong.
"Quickly! Release the Arrows!"
"But Battleford, they aren't in position yet. So shouldn't we--"
"Shut up and do as I've commanded! I want them down now!! Well, what are you waiting for? Shoot! Shoot!... Release the arrows!"
Ezekiel lashed out with murderous. But it was too late.
The enemy was faster. And soon, he saw countless flashes of light flicker from the many metal nostrils.
But at this point, his feet reacted faster than his brain, making a run for it toward the stairway leading down.
His mind was sharp, telling him whatever was coming was disastrous.
He made his way to the stair path with all his might but could still feel the strange, glaring heat burn his back.
So hot... So hot...
Boom!
The layer of stone just below the stone crown railings was hit, sending several block pieces and fragments into the air.
But that wasn't the blast sent flying.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh~
A strange force pushed everyone back, causing many to fall off the walls at such a deadly height.
Terrible... Terrible...
Many already died from the blast before falling and getting splattered on the grounds below like crushed tomatoes.
Splack!
The grounds were covered with minced and chunky meaty pieces, with any intestines and brains rolling out.
Good God, Adonis... How were they supposed to fight this?
The stony walls scattered, and the stone floors they stood on shook violently.
Rumble. Rumble. Rumble!
White dust flew several feet high but couldn't be seen within the fiery heated surroundings that now engulfed many.
The direct hit from the blast killed almost everyone, with the majority of survivors being heavily injured.
Some had blood oozing from their ears and nostrils, others lost body parts, and some directly broke into a million pieces.
Instantly, panic spread throughout those watching along the other side wall regions.
Although these men were experienced in battles, they humans would always fear the unknown
Some even went down on their knees, begging Adonis to manifest and destroy the godly iron minister plaguing them.
What the hell? Who can tell them why this was happening to them? Or was it true that there indeed existed some vine God that protected Omania?
Ahhhhhhhhh~
The Ear-wrenching cries from their fallen comrades had them recoil back with trembling bodies.
Boom!!!!
Another wave of ear-piercing claps echoed out. And at this point, it was safe for them to say their so-called mighty Ballistas would flop against these powerful iron creatures.
So what should they do?
.
Cough. Cough. Cough!
Ezekiel was alive!
His last-minute move of fleeing had saved his life.
More accurately, it was the stony stairway door that blocked most of the explosive force from killing him.
When he sensed danger, he wanted no time locking everyone out and saving himself.
But still, he sustained surface-level injuries, having the thick stone door shatter and his body smacked hard by its many pieces.
But why was this stone door here? It was for safety reasons.
Although it rarely happens, there might be a time when the enemy could ascend the towering structure with daggers and reach the crown successfully.
So if that happens and they discover it, they could seal the entry/exit way down the building, leaving the enemy no choice but to rope down the walls facing the estate.
Imagine a scenario of thousands and hundreds of enemies reaching the crown. At least they should make things difficult for them by blocking their path, forcing them to go one way only.
And during that down, the archers could take down many enemies by leaping down by rope.
The thick stone door was designed like a trapped door.
So after jumping in, Ezekiel wasted no time closing it in the nick of time before the explosion went off.
Good call!
It saved his life.
Cough. Cough. Cough~
... Son of a b**ch!
Ezekiel pulled himself out of the rubble, quickly clearing the narrow stony stairway.
He wouldn't dare to go back up after hearing the cries of the very few men who survived.
Some crowd of missing ribs, others were still bleeding to death and calling on Adonis, while others remained silent, never to take up again.
So how dare he take that chance?
Dig. Dig. Dig!
Ezekiel forced his bloodied hands to dig a path, pulling his limping body down the trembling upper walls.
No way!
Some of the walls had been pried open by the many attacks, leaving the enemy to see the inside.
Luckily, the stairway was built attached to the walls facing the training estate. Or else wouldn't his path down be destroyed, leaving him stranded?
.
Ezekiel quickly fled while still deep in thought.
Apart from being an excellent swordsman, he was also a good archer.
Were they to continue sitting duck and await destruction? Were they to give up when they wouldn't negotiate with beasts?
Everyone had long established that these iron creatures weren't human.
So how would they negotiate for their survival?
This means they had to do their best to survive no matter what.
This was why Ezekiel never gave up.
Wait!.. That's it.
His eyes lit up.
'If we can aim the Ballistas to hit the flashing flying attacks before them, then we might have a chance!'
Maybe we can launch a double move, one to stop their attack and another to sneak attack them.
'Hahahhahaha~... Brilliant! I must reach the bottom and send word to the others along the nearby walls... We must regroup and plan for the enemy's entry.'
Yup!
Ezekiel knew there was no stopping these monsters from invading the estate.
So why not change strategy?
Additionally, he was still waiting for the giant slaves to be brought.
Like he said... If they don't help in defeating this creature, he doesn't mind dragging them all to death's door.
Good. Good. Good.
Ezekiel's ever-adapting mind had already devised more plans for his men.
But sadly, his speed was still too slow because before he could reach the bottom, the estate gates were blown apart, and a steady stream of iron creatures now stormed in.
Hehehehehe~
The Baymardians smirked, driving into the estate with full force.
Time to finish things once and for all.
All units roll out!
Many rolled out from their armored vehicles, and the scene soon became bloody.
.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
There was turmoil everywhere, similar to the hearts of others.
In particular, the scouts sent out by Kardinal Yu, were now rushing at full speed on horseback, hoping to make it alive.
Horrible... Horrible...
They were under attack by iron Creatures. And they knew only someone as powerful and blessed as Kardinal Yu could save them all!

Now, he was their only hope.
