Mac with his cigar clenched between his teeth, snapped into action. "Deploy additional defenses! We can't let them breach the wall!"
Cameron faced that and became solemn with grim determination, and gave rapid commands.
"Initiate laser beam assault! We need to neutralize them before they can scale the wall!"
As the command echoed through the battlefield, soldiers scrambled to position the remaining laser cannons.
A series of bright, searing beams sliced through the dim light, their intensity cutting through the dark, writhing mass of worms.
The beams struck with pinpoint accuracy, vaporizing the worms where they emerged from the ground. The atmosphere was filled with the harsh hum of laser fire, punctuated by the sizzling sound of the worms being turned into vapor.
Soldiers aimed down the wall and shouted out the lasers in coordinated sweeps, creating a devastating curtain of light that annihilated anything in their path.
Pop! Pop!Pop!Pop!
The worms squirmed violently as they were hit, their bodies disintegrating into a cloud of black, sticky residue that rained down on the battlefield. The ground around the wall was littered with the remnants of the destroyed creatures, their once-menacing advance now halted.
Some started popping out like bursts of balloons.
Soldiers, eyes wide and faces tense watched as the worms were reduced to nothing more than scattered debris.
A mixture of relief and lingering anxiety was evident in their expressions. They knew the threat was momentarily subdued, but the battle was far from over. As the last of the worms were vaporized, the soldiers readied themselves for the next challenge, their resolve hardened by the relentless fight.
The battlefield was just beginning to settle when a deep, thunderous rumble shook the ground.
An earthquake hit with sudden force, sending tremors through the earth and disrupting the fragile balance. The wall swayed, and the remaining soldiers staggered to maintain their footing, their faces twisted in fear and determination.
"Hold on!" Irina shouted over the roar of the quake, her voice barely cutting through the cacophony. Soldiers screamed as the ground cracked open, fissures spreading and swallowing up equipment and debris.
[Ice Wall]
SWISH!
With a flicking of her hands, a blast chilled the place and a huge layer of ice appeared on the railing.
The blackish worms that had been scattered by the laser fire were thrown into chaos as the quake intensified. Their wriggling forms were tossed about, and the ground around the wall continued to buckle and shift.
Suddenly, black smoke began to rise around Irina, swirling in dense, dark clouds.
From the smoke emerged a horde of ghostly figures of orc and human spirits, who shrieked a battle cry with full vitality.
They jumped down from the smoky veil, targeting the remaining worms with fierce, spectral strikes.
"Ghosts!" one soldier yelled in disbelief as the ethereal army plunged into the fray. "Wasn't that Sir Leon soldier but how?'
Few of them were confused as they didn't know that the ghost could operate without Leon. Irina, her face set in a determined grimace, steadied herself against the quake's vibrations. As the shaking subsided, she summoned her an Ice Martial Spirit that made her figure glow with a cold, blue aura.
"Everyone, brace yourselves!" she commanded. "Prepare for the final assault!"
SWISH!
A huge vortex formed over the sky.
With a powerful gesture, Irina unleashed a massive gale storm. The icy wind howled as it swept across the battlefield, freezing everything in its path.
The storm roared with unrelenting force, encasing the worms and debris in a thick layer of ice. The black smoke and residual heat were quickly extinguished, replaced by a chilling frost.
The soldiers watched in awe and relief as the gale storm subdued the remaining threats. The battlefield was now a stark contrast of ice and destruction, the worms that were slowly crawling out were frozen to solid, and the ground was coated in a sheen of frost.
Irina's face showed a mix of satisfaction as she looked over the scene. "The storm should hold them off for now. Secure the perimeter and check for any more threats."
Amid the remaining chaos, soldiers resumed their positions, their voices filled with relief and determination. "The quake is over! Check the wall and make sure there are no breaches!" one soldier called out.
Another shouted, "We need to reinforce the defenses! They might try another attack!"
As the last tremors faded and the battlefield quieted, the team began the process of regrouping and assessing the damage, preparing for whatever came next.
By this time, the skitter beast had already devoured the foliage and had reached the walls.
SWOOSH!
The thick dazzle of fog shot around sliding down through the walls and freezing everything below.
Irina stood on the edge of the railing and reached out her hand. Her Martial Spirit appeared, making the air around her freeze even more.
With a swift motion, she cast her attack. A powerful wave of icy mist shot down through the walls, hitting the monster that was climbing up them. The mist quickly covered the beast, freezing its limbs and slowing its movements.
The monster roared in frustration, its movements becoming sluggish as the cold gripped it.
The soldiers around Irina took advantage of the delay, attacking with renewed energy. Irina watched carefully, ready to strike again if needed. Her attack had given the troops a crucial advantage in the chaotic battle.
Irina, finishing her job, took a step back, which was followed by the groups of soldiers taking
the lead.
A group of soldiers climbed onto the railing with swift movements. They crouched down, aiming their laser guns at the frozen monster below.
With a series of sharp commands, they fired. Brilliant laser beams shot out with a high- pitched whine, cutting through the air. Each beam struck the monster, causing the ice to crack and shatter with explosive booms.
Gwen was also among them and taking her job seriously, she also took the lead in aiming the
monsters.
