Future Shock (Initial Project)

Vol. 3 Chapter 9 - 'Der Wunderschlacht'

—~~—~~—

An Imperial Army marched straight into the Northern Territories of the Nomadic Regions, The Army was armed to the teeth, The majority of the Soldiers are armed with muskets, The latest Generation of Steam-powered tanks serve as the spearhead.

While above and behind the daunting concentration, a large piece of the earth levitated off the ground moving at a speed equal to the marching forces.

A heavily modified floating island 280 meters from front to rear. Several Magucite clusters littering much of its underside, Providing ample lift while several large propellers are installed either at its rear or at its sides.

"*laugh* Well... This is it... The key to victory."

One of his mages, began to warn him, after jolting at one point.

"Sir, Leo. We should probably be more patient and send scouts in first."

"What are you thick? This army is more than enough, even without scouts the terrain is no problem."

"But sir-"

"I said this is enough! You better listen to me, or I'll personally shoot you like it's the end of a revolution."

"Y-Yes!"

"Sir, I sensed a disturbance!" Another mage stated

Leo eventually looked back at him, before he asked.

"What disturbance exactly."

"One similar to your own."

"..." he didn't utter a word, soon a distinct sound began to get perceived by Leo, easily discernible as from their altitude the marching of the army isn't much of a nuisance.

"Huh?" I walked over to the foremost balcony and narrowed his eyes. Even the army suddenly slowed down as all of them began to perceive that exact noise from the skies.

A single a large white Javelin-like object emerged from the clouds, at high-speeds, which caught the soldiers off-guard, the objects struck Leo's Mobilized Sky Island, each striking the right-portion of the island obliterating four of the propellers, sending the debris and chunks of the island hurdling down to the ground.

"W-What!?"

"What just Happened!?"

"Out of the way! Get out!" One of them yelled as the concentration of soldiers fled their area quickly creating a massive gap in their formation just in time for the debris to slam into the earth, however not without casualties, Tens of soldiers were killed and more were injured.

"Excuse me?!" Leo yelled in disbelief, soon similar noises were heard, Leo immediately looked up again and vaguely saw three trails.

"F**k! All mages utilise your lightning magic for the praesidite Chaches!"

Several of the mages followed his orders and quickly held onto their staffs before they rushed over to their specified terminals and inserted their staves into the 'outlets' before quickly sending a large quantity of electricity flowing into condensed Praesidite Clusters.

The electricity build-up immediately caused the clusters to glow intensely before they all suddenly released energy outwards, which resulted in a Transparent bright-blue spherical shield surrounding More than half of the island. The three tomahawk missiles launched from 'fortunately recently established' ground-based silos struck the shield.

The mages and infantrymen below cheered at the successful defence, only for them to go silent as the shield suddenly dissipated immediately afterwards.
