The explosion shook heaven and earth, resonating in the hearts of everyone on the battlefield and causing the gruesome slaughter to come to a halt! Atop the city wall, the fierce battle paused in an instant, with the defending army and the Vanguard showing fear of the unknown. Behind the shield vehicles, the archers who had been firing also slowed their hands, fearfully looking toward the city wall. From atop the tall nest cars, the Samurai could see more clearly. They watched as clouds of smoke burst forth, their faces revealing awe of the Divine Power, and reverence for the Chief Divine!
Moments later, under the deliberate guidance of the Priests, a continuous cheer erupted from the Mexica army, charged with fanatical devotion!
"Chief Divine Huitzilopochtli unleashes supreme Divine Power, destroying the enemies before us, granting victory to Mexica!" This was the chant of the Priests.
"The Chief Divine descends, a victory bestowed by heaven!" This was the devout prayer and blessing of the Samurai.
"Divinely blessed, sure to win!" This was the most fervent shout of the Divine Blessing Legion!
The morale of the city’s defenders plummeted instantly, Tarasco’s Samurai unbelieving, while the faces of the Militia were filled with fear of myths. Only the survivors from Lake Yuriria managed to keep calm, prepared in their hearts for the gods behind the Mexica people, still persisting in the battle under the command of the "Crocodile" Nobility.
Xiulote watched the Clay Tribulus explode in real combat for the first time, gazing at the majestic might of the primitive Gunpowder Weapons, his heart brimming with pride for ushering in a new era. Amidst the resounding praises echoing through the clouds, he laughed loudly, waving his hand again.
"Second batch of grenadiers, charge to your death!"
The Gunpowder Craftsmen’s expressions remained unchanged as they continued to light the dangerous Clay Tribulus, placing them into the arms of over two hundred Canine Descendants. The Canine Descendants looked at the "mythical weapons" in their hands with fear, then, not daring to pause, used all their might to charge again toward the city walls a hundred steps away.
Atop the Watchtower, the "Crocodile" Noble Ospe’s eyes bulged as he watched in shock everything happening below the walls, completely unable to accept it. The defenses he had meticulously arranged during the two-month siege almost collapsed in just a moment from the explosion. Then, amid the cheers of the Mexica people, he saw the second batch of hastily advancing Canine Descendants and frantically, urgently yelled.
"Bodyguards, bodyguards! Shoot at the barbarians holding the spheres!"
While yelling fiercely, the "Crocodile" Noble grabbed a Longbow and shot a Canine Descendant down. Then, several tens of his bodyguards also recovered, fearfully firing Feathered Arrows, flooding their deadly attackers on their charge route.
Urgent drumbeats rang out, the dazed Archers fired again, a howling rain of Arrows suppressed the city’s battlements, carrying away Tarasco’s Longbowmen. Amidst the incessant incoming Arrows, the Canine Descendants kept falling, finally climbing up the ladders once more, launching the Clay Tribulus from their hands!
A burst of fearful shouting erupted atop the city. Nearby Militia turned in terror, retreating chaotically. The remaining Tarasco Samurai, however, swung their Long Spears vigorously, trying to fling the dangerous "Divine Power" spheres far away.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Amid the despairing stares of those around him, the Clay Tribulus filled with pounds of Gunpowder exploded mercilessly, once again bringing hundreds of Samurai and Militia down! Screams of agony accompanied by fearful shouts resonated beneath the skies!
"Thunderous roars!" Just moments after the shouting, another incomparable explosion came from the riverbank. Like a mythical meteor destroying heaven and earth, it suddenly plummeted from the west of the fortress, overpowering all the human voices. Amid the thunderous explosion, the entire towering huge Stone Fort trembled with fear!
