1193 The Drones Attack
“That kid is really blessed with luck,” I couldn’t help but smile when I thought about Legend. Even coincidental events like this were happening out of the blue to help him.
Were the successful men over history blessed by luck like that or what? Anyway it was great he was serving me, and that meant I was going to reap benefits from his luck.
Thinking about luck made me sigh. The disparity between this Legend and that jerk, the jumper, was like heaven and hell.
One was blessed by luck, aiding any action he was doing, while the other was the total opposite. Thinking back about how dire the situation the jumper was facing right now made me sigh once more.
Even if one was capable, he wouldn’t be able to fight against bad luck like that. I hoped the jumper’s luck would shift and change for the better, be more like Legend.
As I saw the clouds stop, I noticed little groups of drones broke free and found their way through the incoming attack.
They flew higher, evading the encroaching dome formed by the towers.
Just when I was thinking about how these drones would evade the dangerous dome of energy, the dome showed a change.
It was moving slowly since the beginning, but all of sudden it turned like a running leopard. The dome changed shape, formed some sort of crescentic halo that looked like a grand scythe blade coming at the zombies and my forces beyond.
“It’s a deadly attack,” I frowned while looking at the light speeding new scythe shaped wave of energy that almost crossed the distance between the old dome and the zombies.
Then like it was controlled by something, the blade fell lower, moved in an arc, evading all the Hescos and landed heavily over the zombies.
I was sure if I was there, I’d hear a violent and scary rumbling sound, followed by a series of explosions. All I saw was light flashing all over the zombies, taking them by force, engulfing all of them in one large circular halo of black light.
The light once fell over the zombies and got slightly weakened. It turned from pitch black into black with white wisps like cracks all over its surface.
Once fell, the blade stopped moving as well, releasing tons of dust clouds that rose high in the air, masking even my vision for long minutes.
Scary! It was scary! The light faded after a few minutes that looked as long as decades. Once the light vanished, all I saw was a deep crater formed in the place where my zombies took.
Millions of zombies were taken out in just a few minutes, simply like that. The Hescos retreated fast the moment the dome changed into its offensive form.
The defences of these Hescos devices weren’t just for show. They weren’t for defence, weirdly they were for offence.
“Damn! They don’t need to defend… All they need is to hold the enemies enough for such a scary attack to take shape then retreat. Formidable! This is how brute force can shake the entire world alone!”
Even if they were my enemies, I couldn’t help but admire them. Such a race wasn’t just lucky to come on top of the entire race in the universe.
They got what it took to reach the top and secure their place without any competition. Who would dare to take such formidable force head on?
But when I was admiring them, the drones that flew past such scary attacks finally landed.
I got distracted watching the scary attack earlier, and after the blinding light that appeared and the terrifying explosion that followed, I lost track of these drones.
But at this moment, I saw rose shaped redness appear from the direction of the defences back there. When I looked over, I saw many towers got hit by my drones, releasing a wide area explosion that swept away many towers in the process.
Sound was shielded from my ears, but I saw the entire grand defensive structure shake for a brief second. I didn’t know if this was an illusion or aftershock of these explosions, but it meant my drones were able to take down these towers.
If I was there, I’d not hold my hand back anymore. Just when I was thinking about starting the whole out attack, I watched the dense massive clouds move.
That Legend… That kid really knew his craft very well.
It went without saying what this kid wanted to do. Just when the Hescos were taken by surprise from these drones, the entire swarms of drones started to move fast.
They didn’t move alone, the suits followed and stuck around to defend them. At the same time, more zombies dared to step forward, coming at the huge crater than appeared after the recent explosion, not fearing from taking another hit.
That is what one would call a perfect fodder. They never feared death, never feared anyone, only wanted to march forward, only wanted to come at the enemy.
I loved this kind of fodder! These orbs would become my next favourite way of attack from now on.
This time the zombie didn’t attack alone. The forces who stood all this time behind started to move. When I looked at them, I noticed that the entire region controlled by my forces were filled to the brim with warriors.
During this time, warriors kept flooding the region without stopping, taking their positions and waiting for further orders.
“He wants to throw everything at this one attack,” I read through the intentions of Legend. That kid wanted to take down a bite off Hescos, one way or another.
Hescos proved to be quite challenging and very resourceful. Their quick response before was a clear red flag, one that Legend didn’t miss thankfully.
So the chances for the Hescos to ignore the incoming zombies and focus over the dangerous drones would be higher. Even with such a large number of suits protecting them, things wouldn’t end up that well.
