Everyone who heard Veldora’s words felt something different.
And then it happened. Before any of them could put their feelings into action.
The attack.
There was an explosive sound as the ceiling of the underground shelter, that was the resistance’s base, collapsed.
“What!?”
Zaza shouted as he frantically looked up towards the ceiling.
Black smoke rose into the air. He could see the grey sky between the cracks.
He was stunned.
Sharma ignored him and was the first to react.
“This is bad! The toxic fumes will come in!!”
Sharma shouted. Rindo quickly moved.
He gathered together the adults and children and led them to the lower floors that were used as an emergency refuge.
As they had trained for such an event in the past, they moved with impressive speed.
Only the youngest of the children cried or screamed.
But for the most part, everyone disappeared from the top floor without much in the way of chaos.
“How can…but this is a shelter that withstood a nuclear blast…!? What kind of power would it have taken to pierce through to here…no-is it a Bunker Buster!?”
Zaza was frozen with shock.
If he was right about it, this meant that the Empire was finally putting its full weight behind the attacks.
And they had been the first to strike. There was now a danger of them all being slaughtered down here.
However, Zaza had one doubt.
“…No, wait a minute… If that really was a Bunker Buster, this floor would be a sea of scorching heat…”
And yet the blast seemed to have stopped as soon as it hit their ceiling.
Zaza was so puzzled that he said this out loud.
Veldora looked at him and smirked.
After all, it had been Veldora’s power that had saved them right now.
He had just become popular with the people, and he wasn’t about to let these intruders interfere with that. That is what was on Veldora’s mind when he cast a barrier around this floor.
“Kekehehehe. Oh, Zaza. As for that…”
This was the time to show that confused Zaza how wonderful he really was-it was just as Veldora thought this and began to explain, that it happened.
Five mobile weapons dropped down from the opening in the ceiling.
“Master. Something just came in!?”
“Tsk. How much must they pester me…”
Veldora said in frustration.
Even when he tried to be good, no one appreciated him. It happened all of the time.
“What shall we do, Lord Veldora?”
“Hm? Beretta. We’ll do as we discussed. I shall protect Ramiris over here and you deal with them.”
“Understood.”
They said casually, and then Beretta stepped forward to face the five enemies.
