Chapter 05: The Two Powers

Chapter 05

The Two Powers

On the night of a full moon, the sound of drums bade a marching storm. Roars of monsters echoed, hums of soldiers loomed. The night was filled with the sinister coldness of an incoming force that was sure to shake the entire colony inside the fortress named Mooran

The horns blew.

The unified songs of the NPC mercenaries echoed.

In their frontlines were the beast tamers and those people who was paid a price to kill a lot of numbers. Included in them was the now infamous FlowerLord, probably the first girl user next to the Alcides member, Isis, to ever wield a Dark Spear.

She led the ranks with her Company under the 1st frontline division with the plan to surprise and flank those enemies that will come their way.

On both sides of her Company were two of her best in-game friends, the twins, Paak and Waan, sexy Korean badasses with gun passion, also leading the companies under their names. Since most of her friends circle are away on missions or currently undertaking a very hard quest, she was still lucky to share this so called practice with two of her best in-game friends. 

Virtual Reality has this one purpose as well. People from all over the world can meet and become friends, bridging the gap of language using technology.

And who would have thought?

The once frail player who walked out the city of Eos for the first time to see the world of Virtual Reality and only her curiosity the only thing that pushed her, was now leading the ranks of players towards something that she really enjoyed in the game.

Thrilling practice.

Making her name has been her next big goal and now, she have that chance.

As the continuous sound of the drums, along with the roar of the monsters carrying and pulling the large catapults continued, FlowerLord raised a fist and the people under her all stopped in unison. Then the catapults came and started to crawl their way towards the wall of Mooran, 1km away.

The catapult ranks on monsters and mammoth tanks passed through the gap in between platoon and their large sizes bade a feeling of tremendous fright. In the walls of the fortress, the Sylphs started to gather and their forces all looked like they’re really ready for war.

The horn sounded on the other side and at the same time was the appearance of the large ships hovering above them. Those ships started to climb in height and in their shoulders and mouths, with the sesame seeds that surrounded them, the modified Cyclones began to take their defensive measures.

Being the frontlines, the TGG Cyclones began to fly out towards the fortress and flew passed their heads, leaving bombs on their wake inside Mooran walls.

These small crafts fitted with Vulcan Shanks and magic blast turrets flew at 300km/hr that enabled maneuverability and instantaneous change of direction possible.

But the aerial defense of the wall wasn’t to belittled.

Two kilometers above them, their warships started to release their escorts and the Cyclone versus Cyclone aerial battle began.

Missiles from the warships imbued with the Seeker, a Tier-1 magic spell, began to fire off from the floating warships. These missiles, engineered using the fusion of Terran in-game technology, magic, and real earth technological designs became a large variable in the past war. The third Guild War in Terroa that happened just a few months ago was the first to ever use the missile technology inside the game.
