Chapter 197
by fanqienovelChapter 197: I Really Hate It When Someone Disturbs Me While I’m Eating!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Rat-tat… rat-tat-tat…"
Gunfire rang out along the road leading to the grand arena.
Soldiers of the "Divine Wood Guard Army" from the Triton Empire fell one after another under devastating firepower.
Their famed precision long-range attacks proved useless against the relentless barrage that pinned them down completely.
Sharpshooters had loaded "armor-piercing bullets" infused with primordial energy, only to hear them *ping* harmlessly off enemy armor.
Instantly, heavy weapons returned precise counterfire!
Suppressive fire from all directions herded the Trinitum Clan troops together like sheep.
Then…
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Small black dots traced perfect arcs through the sky before landing dead-center in the crowd.
"Boom——!"
"Boom——!"
Deafening explosions lit the sky with magical flashes. Shockwaves hurled broken limbs into the air as debris rained down.
Warriors and foot soldiers at ground zero dissolved into molecules under terrifying magical forces.
Light vehicles overturned in the blasts, crushing wounded soldiers instead of providing cover.
But the nightmare continued.
"Brave brothers, Chosen Warriors!"
"With me!"
War leader Dekhaka surged forward—but not before donning colossal armor far heavier than his previous set.
The trade-off was reduced agility.
Yet this sacrifice paid dividends: he now wielded a heavy magic-guided grenade launcher, a portable logging cannon, and the "Holy Light from the Sun" defensive field.
He strode imposingly onto the battlefield, an unstoppable giant crushing toward Trinitum infantry!
Facing this onslaught, Trinitum officers barked orders:
"Open fire! Now!"
"Small-caliber cannons! Portable magic-guided grenades!"
"All units, engage!"
Even without commands, Trinitum soldiers unleashed everything at the charging giant.
Their misfortune? They’d deployed for riot control—heavy weapons were scarce.
Only a small portion of the weapons were small-caliber and individual arms.
But these weapons only created ripples in front of those armored giants!
“Blood sacrifice for the Giant God! Offerings to the divine throne!”
Dozens of First Paratroopers put on massive and heavy battle armor; they held ultra-heavy magic great swords in one hand and heavy magic guns or small logging cannons in the other, and charged directly into the "Triton Empire’s Guard Corps" from several directions!
Behind them were the ordinary armored warriors, known as the Chosen Warriors.
“Blood sacrifice for the Giant God! Offerings to the divine throne!”
Screams and the roar of cannon fire echoed across the land.
Just moments later…
“Ah…”
“Ugh…”
A mid-level Trinitum noble was crawling on the ground using both hands and feet.
He shamefully escaped from his medium-sized combat mech, hoping to survive those monsters.
He remembered his thousand-man regiment firing cannon fire continuously at an enemy squad of ten.
Yet, the enemy formed a wedge formation, with an ultra-heavy armored warrior in the front, creating a unidirectional force field.
Neither his artillery shells nor the small-caliber bullets from his foot soldiers could penetrate the force field or cause damage.
The enemy pushed through, slaughtering into the crowd.
This mid-level noble also remembered that his aide, a skilled warrior in a medium-sized combat mech, was pierced through the cockpit by the cannon fire from an ultra-heavy armored warrior.
The pilot was vaporized!
"It was impossible to win!"
“With such opponents, we couldn’t possibly win!"
As the low-level officer ran away with this shameful thought, his men’s collapse was only a matter of time.
Sure enough, when the ultra-heavy armored warriors charged in with the armored warriors, the three ten-thousand-man regiments collapsed completely; a thousand-man regiment scattered three ten-thousand-man regiments right before their eyes.
The one who led the escape didn’t escape either.
A magic bomb had burned him, and the Holy Light from the Sun bomb had suppressed the power within him.
He discarded his helmet and crawled desperately.
Once a noble Trinitum, he now scurried into an alley like a dog.
“Ah?”
This mid-level noble was crawling when he suddenly bumped into a ragged fellow.
The man’s pants had holes, he was barefoot, and only wore a loose robe.
No, by this noble’s standards, he shouldn’t even be considered human.
“Protium Clan?”
“And the Deuterium Clan?”
“Ha!”
The Trinitum noble instantly became arrogant.
“Hurry! Get me clean food and water!”
“And a vehicle for quick movement!”
“I have important military information to convey!”
“Move quickly!”
“Now, the noble Trinitum is speaking to you.”
“If you move slowly, watch out for me to skin you alive… Hey? What are you doing?”
As his arrogant words left his mouth, his bravado vanished.
He saw thousands of Protium and Deuterium Clan members surrounding him.
The person in front of him pulled out a makeshift, poorly made, but scary magic gun from his robe!
“Click!”
The sound of the gun loading echoed!
Behind him, a large group of Protium and Deuterium Clan members, armed with various firearms, stood.
The crowd seemed endless.
“Tap… tap… tap…”
The sound of powered high heels clicked on the stone pavement.
A tall, alluring lady walked over.
A white cloak flowed behind her. Her full yet slim body, covered in powered armor, still showed her curves.
A tall, wide-brimmed hat gave her outfit a strange look.
For instance, her ample chest swayed as she moved.
If it had been a normal day, this mid-level Trinitum noble would have seen such a woman and been tempted. He would have tried to ruin her family and take her for himself.
But now…
“Whack!”
The lady kicked him to the ground with her high heel and stomped hard on his chest.
“Click!”
The magic handgun was loaded.
“Chaos followers, your reign is about to end!”
Her strong voice echoed.
The anger of civilians and slaves boiled over!
Soon, this armed uprising would sweep across the whole world.
“But, is it really so?”
“You… don’t celebrate too soon!”
The Trinitum officer cursed.
Just as expected…
“Boom—Boom—Boom—!”
A massive explosion erupted!
The ground trembled.
The thunderous roar came from the arena’s direction!
Then…
“Roar—!”
Huge vibrations and sound waves swept the entire block, tearing off roof tiles and making the lightly armored Protium and Deuterium clansmen vomit blood as they grabbed their weapons.
Meanwhile, the disposable flying construct conducting aerial reconnaissance relayed grim news.
“Purity Officer Sylvia, enemy reinforcements approach.”
“They appear to possess heavy vehicles!”
—-
Zhimach Angan stood as a high-ranking Trinitum noble with a hereditary surname, placing him among the highest aristocracy.
Though the Zhimach clan lacked the influence of the three great houses—Kongyu, Montecarl, and Iridium—they remained pivotal within the Trinitum.
Nearly all pilots of colossal constructs and superweapons, plus artisans crafting warships and war machines, hailed from this lineage.
One could say Zhimach Angan shared partial kinship with Angna, herself a former artisan.
But now, he felt no such camaraderie.
Clenching his fists at the carnage, he seethed.
“Noble lords trampled by wretched slaves!”
“Such defiance!”
“You vile scum denying the ‘Good Path Pure Land’! Faithless rebels spurning the Great Primordial Deity’s teachings! Venomous serpents repaying noble Trinitum with ingratitude!”
“Retribution awaits you!”
“This is no curse—no mere words!”
“Because…”
“Boom—Boom—Boom—!”
The earth shook under a giant four-legged creature’s tread. Gears ground and metallic clangs echoed through the grand arena.
Then…
“Boom—!”
The ground exploded violently!
“Agh!”
“Monster!”
Gladiators caught off guard hurtled skyward, screaming as the earth erupted beneath them.
Then…
“Whirr—!”
A colossal metal tail swept sideways, demolishing a swath of arena stands and hurling gladiators through the air.
“Hahaha!”
“My beast knows no equal!”
“Roar—!”
The mechanical giant beast bellowed, charging the gladiators.
Its deafening roar pierced the heavens!
Many gladiators collapsed, ears bleeding from the shockwave.
Only Angna gritted her teeth, standing firm against the machine.
The roar itself traveled across endless blocks, reaching the distant harbor!
Yet Zhimach Angan remained unaware—besides these feeble creatures, another heard his beast’s cry.
“Hm?”
“What’s that racket?”
Trilobite’s feast was shattered by the cacophony.
“So noisy…”
Irritation flared within him.
“Damn it!”
“Nothing enrages me more than mealtime interruptions.”
