Whoooooosh, whoooosh~.
After the several bombardments from the Tri-Allied Forces, there was silence, and smoke; a lot of smoke from the endless shells that rained in great quantities on The Order's fortresses. Then, there was only the sound of the whistling wind once the 5 minutes of the artillery guns designed for slaughtering manpower also finished their bombardment after the structure focused artillery guns finished loading and releasing their third load of shells.
As this was all supposed to be a 'drill' and a test towards the always powerful and seemingly impregnable barrier in their Regional borders, there was little to barely any amount of ammunition left for these few artillery gun Regiments to use, from which the structure focused artillery had already been emptied but the manpower focused artillery still had a chance to reload and open fire.
Naturally, all of this wasn't happening just in the Thousand Words Region, as the Fate Meeting Region's shared Regional borders with The Order's Regions also had a few artillery guns Regiments sent to these 'drills' and to test their current power against the potent barrier of The Order that has been standing since months without looking the least bit broken or exhausted.
Yet, as these 2 Regions' borders had been finally freed from this 'enclosure' from part of The Order, the first thing that both Regions did was to attack and not much for their military training within the game to wait and look for opportunities. However, though it was a rash decision, that of opening fire at simply sighting the 'enemy's' buildings; as long as they made some damage, that would suffice.
"!!!" However, just as the wind blowed and blowed the smoke away with the dirt having already gone back down to the ground and with the manpower focused artillery still being reloaded with their hundreds and hundreds of shells in their feedway; there was finally enough 'holes' through the endless smoke that almost reached a whole 100 meters, with it only being about a dozen meters shorter.
But what everyone could see, instead of the destroyed fortresses and debris scattered around the ground with holes of several tens of meters in diameter and a couple meters deep, what they saw was not only The Order's fortresses still standing at a perfect state, but the ground all surrounding them was completely fine without any signs of sinking or being deformed by the previous bombardment.
After numerous training and drills, everyone within the artillery gun Regiments knew the power that their babies had and the damage they could do, it was even stronger than what they've seen on New Earth so it was a lot of pride that they carried as they became part of such Regiments.
However, at these moments, all they saw was some scorched grass and bent grass, with some not even being blown to pieces or even set ablaze by the explosions, merely 'standing' there as if broken by the previous 'stronger wind'. At the same time, however, the fortresses all over the other side had milky, wise-like...spiritual barriers fully surrounding them in a square that was about just a dozen meters larger than the octagonal fortresses' walls; outside their perimeter.
These spiritual-ish barriers were making sure that not even the tiniest bit of shrapnel or the most weakened explosive remains and waves could attack the fortresses from any angle, and thought it had a square shape, it might as well be an actual cube of spiritual barrier protection, since some of those shells would naturally land directly on top of the fortresses and damage them or even directly destroy them.
Step step step step step step step!
But whatever was the case, as the Tri-Allied Forces’ artillery gun Regiments saw how the other side barely had any damage done to even their own dirt and grass, there was a sudden plethora of steps sounding from within every fortress of The Order. From afar, even as far as those who were up to 5,000 km away, with their technology at hand to either see with their naked eye or radars.
Immediately a few seconds after the smoke began to clear, soldiers from The Order, Inhabitant soldiers, began to take positions of all around those cannons that were previously seen before, but just for a tiny bit of time before the order to fire was effectuated and the entire place was all smoke and dirt flying around the next moment; now, they were plainly visible for all to see.
Installed, they were encompassing a width of 3.015 meters, while the entire cannon itself was of 2.3 meters in height, it had a bright platinum color as its main color, and thought it didn’t look that futuristic; it at least held some powerful aesthetics that those artillery gun Regiments on the other side could never hope to compare to.
This cannon only had one single barrel, but its diameter was of an actual, crazy and overly exaggerated 1 meter total! And that wasn’t all, as the width of such a barrel was of 45 cm in total. At the sides, it had thick and bulky ‘legs’ at its bottom to support and hold the cannon; looking like the legs of a fatass dinosaur from the back, front and sides.
The ammunition feedway was at its behind on the left where the cannon is covered by heavily plated backside, where the shells of the cannon would be passing through when shooting them all out.
Right now, there were all those ten of such cannons that were aimed towards the Tri-Allied Forces on the other side and without seemingly needing to load them with ammunitions, from the bottom of the huge 1 diameter barrel, at its very end inside, a color could be seen slowly becoming brighter and brighter until an eerie sensation accompanied their brightening.
From the ten cannons installed on each Fortress of The Order, they had the 7 Core Elemental colors on them, while the other 3 had an orange color, a starry purple color and a random color whose ‘affinity’ could vary.
Vbeeem, vbeem, vbeem, vbeem…
As a slow premonition slowly began etching into the hearts of every single person on the side of the Tri-Allied Forces, the cannons who had their wide and scaringly huge mouths aimed at the general location of the Tri-Allied Forces made the latter kind of finally realizing what sort of danger they were in…the fortresses were completely fine, while the people within then were aiming those cannons at them…
“RUN, RUN AWAY!!” - “Take cover, ah fuck, take cover somewhere!” Panic attacked the minds of the Journeyers and few Inhabitants of the Tri-Allied Forces, their commanders were running already, even for those who were about 5,000 km far away. There wasn’t a single vehicle as well, it wasn’t expected for the Tri-Allied Forces for all this to become a war out of nowhere after all.
“AAAAAAH!!” - “THEY’RE GOING TO SHOOT US!!” - “Why do the Seven Sins Knights do nothing? We need their fucking AOE defensive skills, fuck!” - “IDIOT!! There’s only Prodigy Pilots, Explosive Marksmen and Killing Vows around, this wasn’t supposed to be THISi!!” - “AAAAH! Here they come!”
Twang~! Twang~! Twang~! Twang~! Twang~! Twang~! Twang~! Twang~! Twang~! Twang~! Twang~! Twang~! Twang~! Twang~! Twang~! Twang~! Twang~!...
And indeed ‘they’ were coming, as the cannons finished up loading enough for their magical and unique features to begin working, the whole Tri-Allied Forces were now running away back to their ‘homes’ as the artillery focused on slaughtering manpower was being dragged away while still mounted as it still aimed at the fortresses and more specifically towards the people within it.
Poom, poom, poom…
As those artillery guns were starting their second and last bombardment, with the other type of artillery guns already dismounted and being carried away in several different pieces by 2 squads at the very least, the exotic sound of energy being fully canalized and about to go oooooff resounded at the back of all of the Tri-Allied Forces’ heads as they suddenly felt as if everything was scorching into ash and carbonized dust.
A few Journeyers who were running for their little lives were even more so frantically doing so now, while some minority looked back and right after doing so they then stopped moving as if they’ve become enchanted on the spot. What they saw, the others couldn’t know even if they were to turn their heads around by then, for the cannons’ shot shells were already about to go off and exterminate everything around their area of collision against the ground or even the air itself!
From some of the eyes of the minority that looked back, their irises and sclera had all kinds of 7 different colors which were the most natural and seemingly effective to cause fear, while there were other 2 that had an impossible sharpness and a kind of destruction; while there was also another color that was different from all the others’ eyes at last.
However, the sounds of their surroundings seemed to be gone for about 0.01 seconds, and right after they realized of this, they were already being blow into disintegration with not even their equipment and up to Formidable grade items resisting the force and rapidly evaporating as well with not even a ‘Fix Needed’ state being capable of salvaging them.

…KAANGAWWW, KAANGAWWW, KAANGAWWW, KAANGAWWW, KAANGAWWW, KAANGAWWW, KAANGAWWW, KAANGAWWW, KAANGAWWW, KAANGAWWW…
As if a pair of divine hands grabbing at a piece of land like it was a branch from a tree, then breaking it into several pieces when trying to only break the middle, this sound that didn’t sound as alarming as it should’ve been in the eyes of the minority that turned their heads around, still managed to make many pass out to the point they ‘calmly’ logged out of the game thanks to the system.
Instead, however, the sounds were somewhat inkled to that of their reality bending, and if it was a PC game, one that would sound like a glitch becoming overly scary as it could make one’s entire PC go poof poof and then be set ablaze the next moment. However, such a sound was not coming from a machine, but directly from the several explosions that went off even several tens of kilometers away from some ‘lucky’ Journeyers who weren’t directly torn to molecules by them.
KAANGAWWW, KAANGAWWW, KAANGAWWW, KAANGAWWW, KAANGAWWW, KAANGAWWW, KAANGAWWW, KAANGAWWW…
With the first few Journeyers dying to the explosions numbering in the tens of thousands and taking away another ⅓ of their total numbers with just this first bombardment, the Journeyers who saw these explosions be as powerful to make an AOE of 200 meters, also had the chance to see how the ground they were stepping on was deepened by a full 3-6 meters by the 7 colors and from 5 meters to 15 meters from the other 3 colors; especially the starry purple one.
That was, of course, before being ultimately decimated by the next bombardment of those cannons on the fortresses once 4 seconds had gone by since the first bombardment…
KAANGAWWW, KAANGAWWW, KAANGAWWW, KAANGAWWW, KAANGAWWW, KAANGAWWW, KAANGAWWW, KAANGAWWW…
In the end, the Tri-Allied Forces only lasted about 10 minutes ever since Yun Beishang appeared, to the declaration of war, to the bombardment on these fortresses of The Order to the now exterminated artillery gun Regiments of the Tri-Allied Forces. From several tens of thousands of kilometers away, however, the sounds of horses and other types of Mounts could be heard riding and galloping towards their felled comrades!
Of course, such a sound was completely drowned by the sounds of the energy artillery shells; energy shells, from the cannons on the fortresses. Yet, even as the whole artillery gun Regiments of the enemy had all died into sweet nothingness—though to a lesser degree than with Yun Beishang’s Tongqiu’s Destroying Combustion skill—the cannons kept on shooting all over the terrain in front to the other side of the Regional borders, practically maiming and crippling the land before them over and over again nonstop.
Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp.
Naturally, once again, it wasn’t just the Thousand Words Region that was being affected in such a way, the Fate Meeting Region was also met with extermination when facing these cannons’ power and seemingly slow yet domineeringly scary fire rate that was enough to raze a whole mountain to the ground with just the 4th bombardment being effectuated.
But as the ‘cavalry’ arrived from the Tri-Allied Forces, which were obviously deployed as soon as the announcement of the Thousand Words Region entering into a war with The Order and all of its Regions—of course—, and only needed about a few tens of kilometers to arrive before the 5,000th kilometer mark where the whole Tri-Allied Forces had just been exterminated; it was the 3 enemy Regions’ turn to be the ones with the initiative.
*PING* Global System Announcement: Attention to all Journeyers, the Divine Gates Hall, its Hall Master, Hall Vice-Masters and members have declared war against the Wonder Region and the Origin Pertaining Region just now. This war will make the Fate Meeting Region, the Thousand Words Region and the Ancient Forest Region to wedge war in the Wonder Region and the Origin Pertaining Region and vice versa; while all of the Wonder Region and the Origin Pertainin Region will temporarily gain a Warring feature to band with one another to fight off the invaders! Because there are still Regional borders set on all around Main Kingdom, the specialty of crossing over them will be needed to be rewarded, each kill, destruction and conquering made by Divine Gates Hall and those under them and its allies will gain double the Experience for themselves and their Associations while gaining triple the Experience in the name of and for the Divine Gates Hall.
“... … … … … …” Meanwhile, as the world was first stunned but somewhat numb at the declaration of war from The Order towards the Thousand Words Region, the Ancient Forest Region’s Divine Gates Hall’s declaration of War against the Wonder Region and Origin Pertaining Region had the ‘peaceful’ Fate Meeting Region enter into a warring state as well!
At this moment, the cannons of The Order had already stopped bombarding the previously healed back up, grown and empowered, enhanced plains close to the Regional borders of both the Fate Meeting Region and the Thousand Words Region. In the eyes of the cavalry consisting of tens of millions of enemy Journeyers with barely no enemy Inhabitants among their ranks stopped at the 5,000th kilometer mark and waited to see if The Order would bombard the whole plains yet again.
Only to, instead, get a sight of the results from The Order’s bombardment on plains on their side. Which, to say the least, was utterly indistinctive from what it was like before, from tall grass, trees and ordinary flora being abundant, to a sight more similar to that of the Somber Tree region which has been long forgotten.
Hills, mountains, all of them disappeared however, even if they were as far as 7,000 kilometers from The Order’s Regional borders. Instead, replacing them were many dunes and large vacant ‘pools’ of either decimated land or carbonized dirt and dust, with not a sight of ordinary flora like trees, their roots or even flowers being visible all within the perimeter of the Tri-Allied Forces’ Regions.
Seeing such a change, the Tri-Allied Forces’ cavalry naturally turned pale, not even wanting to experience nor see how it felt to be destroyed by these extremely more powerful and brazen weapons that overcame their own by at least ten times that of raw power and destructing capabilities.
On the other side of the shared Regional borders, however, the Inhabitant soldiers of The Order were quickly loading up the recently emptied out ammunition feedways of their cannons, carrying with care dozens of energy shells that had a size of 2 inches wide and 5 inches long with a thickness of 9 inches. It had an oval shaped, overextended egg, which made it difficult to think that just a few dozens of these were enough for each cannon to fire out about hundreds of times in just over 500 seconds.
These energy shells, however, had the color of the 7 Core Elements as well as Yun Beishang’s Hawkeye Essence and Destructive Essence, besides that one other which is also from an Essence that has been attained by whichever of his Maidens that had worked hard to create these energy shells taught to them by none other than Yun Beishang of course.
The ‘other one’ colored energy shell could have any color, even purple and orange as well as similar to those of the 7 Core Elements, but they weren’t of the same ‘affinity’ that the Core Elements or Yun Beishang’s Essences had; also, each of them were unique even when some looked alike others and so on.
In any case, just a few dozens of such energy shells were being loaded into the cannon’s ammunition feedway, which was done in a fast and orderly demeanor by the Inhabitant soldiers as they didn’t even need to talk or grunt when working at loading these cannons. Then, in just about 30 seconds, all of the cannons of The Order on the fortresses were loaded back up and awaiting commands.
Just like that, the momentarily terrified Journeyers of the Tri-Allied Forces also remained on their spot, praying that they wouldn’t be suddenly bombarded by these things and that their supreme commanders or the big boss would have a way to protect them from such. And, well, such trust in their leader was surely not wasted, as a command was immediately issued from the Tri-Allied Forces after receiving news of the battlefield’s completely disfigured changes.
After an extra 2 minutes of a stalemate whereas nor The Order nor the Tri-Allied Forces began opening fire or charging at the other, several thousands of scouts were chosen and then departed from the Tri-Allied Forces towards The Order’s fortresses that were right behind The Order’s Regional borders; as there were tens of thousands of other such fortresses all behind them and in an incredible formation…
Such a formation was seen before, especially thanks to the Tri-Allied Forces’ reckless bombardment, but with the ‘calm’ cavalry of the same having chosen not to rashly attack in the same manner, it was now apparent that even if The Order didn’t had those powerful cannons of theirs, such a powerful defense would be impossible to beat unless it was an all out fight where their chances were still unknowingly low; big time.
Swiftly after the departure of the scouts who rode in their own specific Mounts, but which each was exceedingly faster than most other such ‘normal’ Mounts, they arrived before The Order and all of them conveyed the same message: ‘The leader of the Tri-Allied Forces’ Regions will show up to discuss war ‘settings’ with the Lord of The Order!’.
Of course, there was naturally a ‘if’, and that was for if Yun Beishang gave enough of a shit to appear before that other ‘leader’ from the enemy.
