Three years later—
Young Sector 101 — Planet Verillion
Clackclackclack
The ground itself shuddered from the east, trembling as if a giant beast had stirred beneath its crust. An instant later, a massive wave of compressed air burst forth, sweeping across the battlefield like an invisible hammer. It struck the lines of soldiers with merciless force, sending men stumbling backward several paces, boots dragging trenches into the dirt.
No bones were broken, no blood spilled by the quake or the shockwave—yet the soldiers of the Silver Army felt a far deeper wound, one to the heart itself. Panic rippled through the officers and generals manning the western approaches, and as if bound by a single string, they roared in unison:
"It's another artillery barrage! Brace yourselves!!!"
Swoooooo~
