Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel - Chapter 293

Chapter 293: Welcome of a smiling little girl
According to Iceberg, a night assault would be better as it would give a better advantage of a surprise attack.

Altogether, they only had five tesseracts they could use for this assault.

Two belonged to Iceberg, two belonged to Razad, and the last one belonged to another rebel leader that had joined their cause.

Aside from the walls that protected the capital city, there was also a spiritual energy force field that enveloped the city like a bubble, breaking through it would not be easy.

However, Iceberg had long planned for this.

The plan was actually a simple one.

The royal palace was actually at the centre of the city. Or at least it seemed that way. However, careful observation would conclude that the architects for this place made slight errors in their calculations and the royal palace was actually by a kilometer closer to the south gate than all the other gates.

They were going to attack from both sides.

Iceberg would start the attack in the north, pulling the attention of Chiron’s men and fighting power. After which, Razad’s men and the others would attack from the south which was closer to the palace.

The palace had its own defenses, but Chiron’s men were still very new to the place, and even if they were not, they were too few to station a proper defense.

With the kind of assault that Iceberg was going to lay at the north gate, it was no exaggeration to say that all of Chiron’s manpower would be drawn there.

In other words, aside from Chiron and maybe some trusted aids, the palace was going to be empty.

This was going to be a swift and effective takeover, and Razad would seat on the throne as king of the Chanland kingdom.

Of course, he would hang Chiron’s head on the walls just as he had done the former king.

Razad smiled when he saw the plan.

At the moment, they had at least twenty thousand men that had been drawn to their cause.

While Chiron only had but a few hundred.

Even with the shield covering the capital city, enough assault on the place could see to their swift victory.

After all, they were many strong ones amongst them, and Iceberg had spoken to some old friends he had in the military that were now retired to pop out of retirement.

A few of them were even at ranks 1 to 3 of the bronze rank.

These were old men with incredibly formidable power.

Slowly, the sun set in the pocket of the horizon.

As it did, the men dressed for war told their newfound lovers goodbye.

They were going to bring honour to their father’s land, and they were going to do it, by washing the soil with the blood of the invaders.

The army took their positions around the city, hiding in the dark of the night.

Just as planned, they waited and waited.

When it was twelve in the midnight, the shields surrounding the city were immediately turned off.

Razad saw this and smiled.

He immediately gave Iceberg the order to attack the city.

Even though he was at the opposite side waiting with his men, he could still hear the ground-shaking explosions that Iceberg’s tesseract made as it threw volleys of compressed spiritual energy everywhere, spraying the earth like a child vomiting disgusting food.

The fires of which were so high that they brightened the night sky.

Screams and chaos went out everywhere.

Without a doubt, Iceberg’s plan was coming to fruition.

Immediately, he gave his men the order to attack.

They cheered loudly in screaming war cries as they rushed forward.

*BOOM!*

A few shots from the two tesseracts and the gigantic city gates were melted like cheese.

The men rushed in through the gates, the tesseracts leading the assault.

Razad had ordered that the tesseracts did not need to destroy this part of the city as alarming the enemy was not their aim.

They rushed a few kilometres into the city.

Just as Iceberg had planned. Razad noticed that there was no one in sight.

The enemy’s attention had truly been drawn to the north gate.

This meant that the palace was theirs for the taking.

However, after another two kilometers, Razad noticed something quite peculiar. It was something that the attraction of victory had blinded from his eyes for a while now.

He could understand if they were no enemies, but why were there no people?

The streets and even the houses were actually empty. There were no civilian or any of the likes. Even pets could not be seen on the streets.

Something was not right.

“Halt!” Razad commanded. However, his army did not have as much foresight as he did, and most were not disciplined. They were just youths with a zeal for power, and drunk with valour for the country.

They had little to no discipline as soldiers and knew nothing of the importance of sticking to orders.

And so like charging bulls, they rushed into a trap.

Suddenly, from behind, a volley of compressed spiritual energy balls was shot at the tesseracts in the sky.

*Boom!* Boom!!* Boom!!!*

The aims were true, and the tesseracts unaware of the danger did not maneuver in time.

They ended up getting hit.

Both of them crashed to the ground in sudden BOOMS, shocking the advancing army of thousands.

Fires went up on all sides.

The volley of attacks had come from behind them. It was from certain buildings.

“Enemy attack, TAKE COVER!!!” Razad was sharp and he immediately gave the order.

This time around, most people took to his orders.

However, after the shots were fired at the teseeracts, no more shots were fired.

A few minutes passed with no attack whatsoever.

Razad was already hurting in his heart at the loss of two tesseracts.

However, what was to come next would be a much sweeter pain.

Some of the men came out of hiding, and so did Razad.

He quickly concluded that the range of the ballistics were limited and only able to reach the tesseracts because they were in the air.

Seeing this, he summoned his courage and his men once more, and they raged for the palace. Now more than ever, they wanted to kill.

Just ahead of them, the palace came in sight.

This was it. This was the place they had been heading for.

Up on the kings famed balcony where he addressed the people, a lone figure stood.

He was small and as the wind blew, it revealed that he was armless.

The moment Razad saw him, he knew that was their target.

However, the palace doors suddenly opened and another person walked out of it.

It was girl. From the looks of it, she was only about thirteen or so. However, children in this world matured quite early.

She would have been a pretty girl if not for the bloody runes that had been carved on her forehead.

Carla looked at the host of men before her and a menacing smile stained her lips. She pointed at them, “I am going to enjoy drinking you dry!”
