Chapter 2375: A Bad Feeling

So they have Ballistas?

Who would've known that Morgs weren't the only ones with siege weapons?

In truth, these Adonis people had secretly stolen the info from Morgany with the help of their Adonis Heir.

From there, their had secretly met with some trusted Adonis spies to send the info out.

But he couldn't just jot down such an important manufacturing method for fear of being discovered.

So he had the spies burn the information in their minds until they reached their targeted destinations.

Only when in trustworthy places did they write down the information, sending it to various regions.

It can be seen that these Siege Ballista weapons here in Soma were made recently by the Adonis followers themselves, and of course, with the help of captured giants, chained and threatened to build them all.

They forged the giant siege arrows, hammering till they nearly passed out, like chained Gods of Olympus, crafting a magnificent artifact.

In this way, they created excess weapons.

These giants were unwilling to create weapons that would attack themselves and their beloved Soma Empire.

And if they were alone, they would choose to die rather than bend to these people's wills.

However, they underestimated the shamelessness of these people.

Newborn babies were captured and threatened to be drowned in batches, while infants below 5 were captured and hung for public skinning.

No way!

This was forcing them to obey.

Once a person reaches 6, even though they aren't officially adults, they are more or less seen as one, since by 6, boys start wielding swords and learning all first of arts.

.

Additionally, by 6, girls also start official lessons and take on matters concerning women as a whole.

In Soma, the coming age/adulthood year was 14.

By 14, they were adults who could marry and live separately from their families if need be.

It was also the official age that allowed people to own lands and hold onto life deeds.

The same coming-of-age concept is held for almost every place in the world.

Once a child is born, people must register and get life deeds for the child. And only after they come of age will the document leave their parents/guardians' hands and given to them.

Some families with 6~10 children and no way to feed them also sold their children to more affluent homes by handing over the life deeds.

One can choose to sell them forever or draw up decade-year service contracts, having their children work as slaves/servants/maids for 10 years, 20 years, and so on.

Life deeds were also a way of identification, letting the empire know who was a true-born citizen, a slave from war, or any other status.

In short, everyone in this world had a life deed... Even Landon had one before Baymard's change.

Of course now in Baymard, one didn't need a life deed.

They had Identity cards to prove their status, and slavery was officially banned.

Thus, the concept of life deeds was void in Baymard.

.

Ballistas...

Many squinted their eyes, accessing the situation at hand.

"King-Father, with the estimated weight, distance, and momentum each Ballista arrow will plunge, I'm afraid the vehicle's roof will incur damage."

"Mmmm."Lucius agreed. "They also carry tubes of black powder. Though having a cruder formula, it could still do major damage."

The vehicle roof was indeed thick and sturdy. But if so many arrows attack it at once, it would weapon the upper layer, forming dents susceptible to creating hole-openings once the next wave of arrows hit.

The first time, they might be safe. But the more arrow hits they take, the weaker the vehicle's shield exterior. And soon, they might feel the enemy's explosive black powder within the vehicle.

Make no mistake.

In all of Hertfilia, they were sure their gunpowder was of a higher formula and quality than these people's black powder.

But that didn't mean they could be arrogant and take a direct hit from the enemy's powder.

The effects might not be as catastrophic as theirs, but they will still sustain injuries. So what's the call?

Everyone looked at Lucius, waiting for his orders.

"All trucks fall back... All Tanks... aim for the crown!!!"

Heheheheheh~

Those in the tanks grinned excitedly, marching forward, raising their long nozzles at the upper walls.

Well, they did promise these giants that they wouldn't crumble the entire city down. But a little damage of this nature wasn't a problem.

After all, targeting the crown won't affect the wall's foundation.

So these Giants can later fix and redo the destroyed upper regions again, no?

Fall back.

.

Vrmmmmm!!!

The trucks reversed, and Lucius tightened his group on the vehicle's corded built-in walkie-talkie.

Want to take them down with mere Ballistas? Naive!

Lieutenant Agnus gripped his controls, with anxiety, excitement, and all sorts of emotions sweeping through.

His hands were sweaty, and his eyes hovering across the screen before him.

'Come on, Agnus... You've done this countless times during training. You've got this!'

With careful hands, he moved both Joysticks as if playing a video game.

And after looking at his targeted upper wall region, he called in to verify his status.

"This is TS-214... Target on lock."

"Copy that. Standby for Launch. Over."

The other tanks have to have their targets on lock too, before the first attack wave gets launched.

Tut~

The communication went silent, and so did Agnus.

No words could describe the butterflies in his belly. However, he wants the only one feeling this way.

"Battleford! Battle ford! Look! Our prayers have worked! The strange metal creatures are retreating!"

"~Hahahahaha! Adonis is on one side! It must be that Asonisbis pleased with our Battleford, making the enemy retreat!"

"Adonis is mighty!"

"Battleford Ezekiel is amazing!"

While many were jubilating, some, including Battleford Ezekiel, had bad feelings in their guts.

"Wait! Look again! They're not retreating but making way for bigger iron creatures with long noses!"

"What? If it's so, then what do they want to do?"

Many widened their eyes in wonder, but Ezekiel reacted fast.

He felt his intuition was never wrong.

"Quickly! Release the Arrows!"

"But Battleford, they aren't in position yet. So shouldn't we--"

"Shut up and release them now!!
