The sounds of approaching weaponry. Biplanes roared overhead, the bombs began to fall, raining down from the sky like a barrage of metal and explosive shells. The once-tranquil shoreline was soon covered in countless rubble and foxhole, each one signaling the destructive power of the weaponry that had been unleashed upon it.


Despite the chaos and destruction, the Apeiron Believer stayed resolute in the face of danger. They worked tirelessly to rescue those who had been caught in the crossfire, providing aid and comfort to those who had been wounded. However, it is clear that they are struggling to maintain order, the sheer intensity of the assault is making it difficult. The situation is grim, and many are wondering if they will make it through to the end of the day.


Shells and bombs rained down from the sky and from the sea, the naval bombardment was relentless, and it seemed as though the beach would never be the same. All of those people scrambled for cover, trying to escape the devastation. Every few moments, another explosion would shake the earth, making it difficult to stand or walk. 


The naval bombardment has been suspended, some were glad, but it was impossible to imagine how the order could ever be restored.


And then these aerial assaults, which are often carried out using high-capacity machine guns mounted on aircraft, have targeted the people on the beaches, casually committing war crimes against these pathetic helpless believer and non-combatants in a brutal siege, firing machine gunfire into the region, causing immense damage and causing fatalities among entities.


In the aftermath of the assault, the shoreline was littered with craters, and also unexploded ordnance, It was the destructive force that humans were capable of wielding.


*EXPLOSION*


"Gah!..." Sophia gasp and awoke on the beach, her hair and clothes were covered in sand and salt. The sound of the ocean's waves crashing against the shore was the only noise that pierced the silence.
