Army of the Damned

VOLUME 2 Chapter 5

Boom! The sounds of a mine exploding caught one of the leading Knights off guard, his armored horse completely blown apart as multiple others began to step on the landmines.

Flashes of bright light suddenly lit up the dark night like a giant firework show just appeared out of nowhere as a player shouted "WEAPONS FREE!" Tracers gun down the approaching army, their shields useless against the bullets while the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles picked off the ones on horseback. The Knights that were leading the charge were ineffective as the range of the fight was too far for even their magical staff.

Far away while on top of his tank, he could see the lines of bullets hitting the dark as countless men died to them. The sounds of the 120 Millimeter smoothbores of the M1A2 Abrams that were drugged in right behind the trenches in their out fighting positions fill the night while the immense "DAKA DAKA" sounds of the Bradley's 25 Millimeter autocannons rip apart the invading army.

Tracer shots bounced off in the night, illuminating the skies as sounds of vertical launches from the THAAD Interceptors in the airport hit the Wyverns, the proxy explosions causing multiple kills with one hit alone.

At such close range, the accuracy of the Earthling guns and vehicles caught the invading army off guard, they put their shields up with their spears. Forming a Testudo while the Knights on horseback attempt to rush through the gunfire with a Wedge formation only to be cut down. Some of the horses got caught in the barbed wire while some of the soldiers screamed in agony as their body was shot to pieces and ripped apart by the high explosive shells of the tanks.

While in the far back, Mages began to form magic circles just for the tanks to start picking them off with high explosive shells and out of nowhere a piercing sound punching through the air was heard.

"Eeeeeeeooo..."

As quickly as the whistle came, a trail of large explosions followed. The entire frontline was completely ablaze. The surviving mages from even a farther position behind the formation could only look in awe of the continuous rain of explosions as the night was turned into morning by the 155 Millimeter shells.

Anti Air fire from Vulcan gatling guns on the ground sporadically exploding midair to cause flak damage to the Wyverns made nothing get close to the central trenches as charred bodies began to pile. There was no mercy on the free fire zone as even those lucky enough to survive the initial clash found themselves walking int a minefield.

One by one, the grunts and Knights were maimed and found themselves limbless. Those attempting to go around through the patches of forest only met the same fate as those on the open fields.

"Splash out."

Wyvern Units attempted to rush through the lines through the left flank but encamped .50 M2 Browning machine guns ripped them apart with M163 VADS Anti air Vulcan gatling guns. None of the Air Corps was able to get close, the large tracers of the heavy machine guns looked like small fireworks as it flew through the sky.

In a matter of minutes, the twenty thousand strong army was decimated to a few hundreds. As the battle continued, none of the Knights could get close. With most of them dying on the minefields as they became a makeshift minesweeper, opening a line towards the barbed wires which were full of dead men and the once green open plains was turned into hills, full of dead bodies.

Gone was its picturesque shape as small fires began. It was now darkened and bleaked, scarred for centuries to come as craters of varying sizes filled every inch of land there was in that sector and the stench of death filled the air as Jackson found himself breathlessly as the massacre before him.

One of the Generals, donning his lavish chromed out Plate armor far behind the formation immediately called for a retreat as their unseen enemy constantly fired into their position with deadly accuracy.
