Chapter 43: The Aztec Apocalypse.


    <Chapter 43: The Aztec Apocalypse. >


    Hurry up and move! We dont have time!


    The allied camp began to stir.


    The allies who were in the rear were busy throwing bombs to the front.


    Throw them to the grenadiers!


    To the grenadiers!


    At the same time, the grenadiers lined up in order.


    Most of the people who carried and threw the bombs were allies.


    The imperial warriors were overwhelmed by fighting against the Aztecs in the front line.


    Therefore, the operation of the bombs was entirely entrusted to the allies.


    They selected strong warriors from among the allies and made them grenadiers.


    They had received a short training for a few days.


    It was not a difficult training, as they only had to throw bombs at low ground.


    They just needed enough strength and skill to throw the bombs.


    Were ready!


    Then dont dy and carry out your mission!


    Yes!


    This order was immediately delivered to the grenadiers.


    Chirp!


    The grenadiers did not hesitate and used firecrackers to light the fuses.


    And then.


    Throw them right away!


    Throw!


    The grenadiers remembered the posture they had trained for a few days and threw the bombs at the Aztec camp.


    Their target was the Aztec warriors right behind the front line.


    That was the most densely popted area, and there were many high-ranking warriors wearing animal skins.


    Moreover, if the bombs exploded there, it would relieve the pressure on the imperial army.


    Whoo!


    The bombs thrown from high ground flew in arge parab toward the Aztec warriors.


    Block them!


    Thud!


    Ugh!


    The Aztec warriors instinctively raised their shields to block the heavy iron balls.


    But they were either broken or received a great shock, as they were not light.


    Some of them were unlucky enough to be hit directly by the iron balls and died instantly.


    But the damage was less than expected.


    Therefore, the Aztec warriors did not take that attack seriously.


    Of course, if it was just an iron ball, it would have been as they thought


    Boom!


    The iron balls that flew in suddenly exploded, and the situation changed in an instant.


    Aaaah!


    Aaah!


    A sudden loud noise.


    The iron balls burst and fragments flew around wildly.


    Especially, the area where they exploded was where the Aztec warriors were crowded.


    The Aztec warriors who were close by died instantly, and many nearby warriors were injured big and small.


    What, what is this!


    Huh!


    The Aztec warriors did not know about gunpowder.


    Of course, they were terrified by the bomb that swept away their surroundings with a thunderous noise.


    And that explosion was just the beginning.


    Bang! Boom! Boom!


    Aaaah!


    Oh, God


    Cough, cough!


    The bombs thrown by the grenadiers began to explode one after another in the Aztec camp.


    What is this! Whats going on!


    Aaah!


    Then there was a great confusion in the Aztec line.


    They were rushing forward fiercely, but there was a huge noise and damage behind them


    Thanks to that, their momentum was broken in an instant.


    Even then,


    Whoo! Whoo!


    The iron balls kept flying in from behind.


    Then the Aztec warriors realized it.


    Its those iron balls! Dont stay near those iron balls!


    Everyone, avoid them!


    Aaah! The iron balls are flying here!


    They realized that those iron balls were the cause of this situation.


    But even if they realized it, they couldnt run away right away.


    The Aztec warriors were constantly pushing up towards the hill.


    As a result, they were very crowded.


    That is, they were in a situation where they were blocked on all sides even if they wanted to run away.


    Please


    When an iron ball fell nearby, they prayed while looking at it.


    Please let nothing happen.


    But their god did not listen to their prayers.


    Boom!


    The warriors watched as the bomb exploded and died.


    Huh This is terrifying.


    The powerful archer sighed deeply as he watched that scene.


    The effect of the bomb was more than he expected.


    There were still many bombs left. They had enough gunpowder and iron for making bombs, and they had been mass-producing them for a long time.


    But they hadnt thrown many bombs yet, and yet the Aztec line was almost copsing.


    They were in a panic over this unprecedented bomb attack.


    Their momentum until now had disappeared, and thanks to that, the spear and shield soldiers of the empire who had been under severe pressure could breathe again.


    This is where he appreciated it.


    This was his chance to seize victory in this war.


    Now is the time! Sweep away all those confused enemies!


    Yes!


    Immediately after that, a long gong sounded and the imperial armys counterattack began.


    Crossbowmen, forward!


    Forward!


    Open the shields!


    Open!


    As if the gears fit together, the shields opened as soon as the crossbowmen came out.


    This was possible because the pressure from the Aztec warriors had disappeared.


    The crossbowmen aimed their already loaded crossbows at the confused Aztec warriors.


    And then.


    Shoo shoo shoo shoo shoo!


    Thud, thud, thud!


    Ugh!


    Aaaah!


    Another scream of the Aztec warriors filled the air.


    The crossbows fired at close range inflicted fatal damage on the Aztec warriors in the front line.


    Damn it! Those bastards!


    The enraged Aztec warriors rushed again, but.


    Retreat!


    Close the shields!


    Close!


    ck! ck! ck!


    The crossbowmen retreated smoothly.


    And then, the hedgehog formation waspleted again.


    Thud, thud!


    Aaaah!


    Ugh!


    The furious Aztec warriors who ran in vain were stabbed by the spears and lost their lives.


    Meanwhile,


    Boom! Boom!


    Bombs were still exploding in the back.


    After that, whenever there was a gap, the crossbowmen popped out from between the shields and fired arrows and ran away, and bombs continued to explode.


    Thanks to that, the Aztec warriors who came out in front died in droves.


    Those, those guys are devils!


    Ru, run away!


    The morale of the Aztec warriors plummeted in an instant.


    When their formation was broken in a melee battle, they could not win even if they died and came back to life.


    Especially in a situation where they overcame their tactical disadvantage with brute force


    The oue of this battle was almost decided.


    As expected.


    Beep! Beep!


    Everyone, run away!


    With a sharp horn sound.


    The Aztec warriors began to retreat.


    At the same time.


    Its our turn!


    Lets kill them all!


    The allied warriors who were behind jumped forward.


    Their goal was the Aztec warriors who were running away with their tails between their legs.


    Please dont chase them too far. If you go too deep, you might get counterattacked.


    Dont worry. We know that too.


    The allies mercilessly killed thegging Aztec warriors.


    Their screams were savagely echoed.


    It was as if they were venting their anger for all this time.


    That way, countless Aztec warriors died while retreating.


    We won.


    They passed the first and most dangerous moment.


    No, it was more than passing. It was a great victory.


    The powerful archer clenched his fist as he watched the situation on the battlefield.


    ***


    You can never stop that weapon!


    A weapon that suddenly sweeps around! How can we win against those who have such a weapon?


    The faces of the noble warriors were all thoughtful.


    Who would call them the brave warriors of the great Aztec?


    There were no cowards like them.


    But caellel could not scold them for their appearance.


    Because he had the same feeling in his heart.


    How can we do this? Oh Did God really abandon us?


    That must be Wacantangas secret weapon.


    Iron balls that burst out suddenly.


    It was so shocking that he wouldnt have believed it if he hadnt seen it himself.


    He didnt know how many of those weapons they had


    As long as they remained, they couldnt take over the high ground where they were losing.


    The heavy iron balls flying from the high ground could easily reach where the warriors were.


    Then, no matter how brave the warriors were, they couldnt charge properly at the enemies.


    Meanwhile, they would be ughtered by the enemies arrows and long spears.


    The more he thought about it, the more hopeless it was.


    But if we just defend ourselves


    The number of Wacantangas troops would continue to increase.


    They couldnt beat them even when there was such a big difference in numbers.


    But what if that gap narrowed?


    That would be hard.


    caellel came to a conclusion.


    Of course, if they upied the high ground, the enemies wouldnt be able to use those exploding iron balls.


    But then, those solid iron weapons and dense tactics would be enough to overwhelm their brave warriors.


    A situation where they couldnt do this or that.


    caellels dilemma deepened.


    ***


    The allies and the imperial army never crossed beyond the line of defense.


    They just blocked this area tightly and wasted time.


    Anyway, they just had to wait for the Wacantangas reinforcements to arrive, and the situation would continue to be favorable.


    There was no reason to move.


    Thats how time passed.


    The Wacantanga Empires vanguard went back and forth several times across the Gulf of Mexico, carrying all the expeditionary soldiers and enough supplies.


    In addition, the number of allies also increased rapidly.


    Many forces that had been watching from nearby gathered under Wacantangas g.


    And finally.


    The imperial army and the allies crossed the line of defense and began to advance.


    The real Aztec apocalypse began.
