The explosion hits the wall with devastating force, creating a smoke blast and making the entire castle tremble. The impact is felt by everyone within the fortifications, setting off an immediate alarm.
"What's happening?!" Loras Forhe, as the king in the captaincy and seated on the throne, asks, his voice echoing the surprise and alarm of his companions.
"It seems they have initiated the attack on the eastern side..." Lidsey, by his side, responds murmuring.
"Let the Apollo Familia handle it. We'll take care of the central part and any attacks on the west and south of the castle as well," The commander of the Heimdall Familia orders, with everyone nodding in agreement.
In the city of Orario, everyone exclaimed with the entrance of the mysterious woman, using such strong power to knock down the wall, doubts that the Apollo and Heimdall Familia could easily win began to be heard. The narrator, however, seemed quite excited about this.
"Oooww they are magic swords!" He shouts, the words vibrating in the air and reflecting the awe and admiration of the crowd.
"Incredible!!! A hole has been created at the entrance!!" He continues, his voice growing in volume and intensity.
The people around lean closer to the screens, their eyes wide and mouths open in shock.
"An opening was easily made at the start of the game on the eastern side, this is an exciting start!! What's happening in this game?!!" The narrator's question is rhetorical but echoes the confusion and excitement felt by everyone.
On the battlefield, Xenovia looks at the damage with a grim satisfaction. The plan was working; Irina, skillfully infiltrated, but unable to access the central side due to her position with the Apollo Familia, so they needed to find another opening. It was the perfect chance for the Hestia Familia to advance.
Utaha, Asia, and Eriri, arriving at the scene, see a group of adventurers from the Apollo Familia emerging from the created entrance.
"Are they coming out?! What's happening?" The commentator questions, his voice tinged with incredulity. Asia's strategy, disguised and issuing false orders, was working, but only Irina and her group knew the truth behind this bold maneuver.
In the pantheon of gods, the scene attracts the attention of many. A god, with an intrigued look, watches the consequences of the surprise attack.
"It seems you are having trouble, Apollo..." He comments, his voice full of interest and a hint of provocation.
Apollo, annoyed but still full of arrogance, responds firmly.
"Tsk. I still have 100 soldiers; my family will defeat Hestia immediately!" His statement is a mix of confidence and challenge, a promise that the battle is far from over.
"Even so, it's kind of suspicious your adventurers act like that..." Heimdall comments with crossed arms while looking attentively at the screen.
"The War Game begins with the Hestia Familia attacking immediately and gaining an advantage by opening a passage in the castle, now the Apollo Familia is gathering to fight the invaders from the outside, which is unexpected!" The narrator recaps the events, his voice almost drowned out by the buzz of the crowd.
Orario watches, fascinated and eager, as the first clash of the War Game unfolds. Every citizen, from adventurers to merchants, from gods to mortals, is completely involved, the city boiling with expectations and speculations on how this incredible battle will continue.
