Sunforge did not just burn. It was erased. The shockwave hit the tunnel entrance. The ceiling of the cave shook violently."The entrance!" Everett shouted. He grabbed a detonator from his own belt. "We have to seal the door!"He pushed the button. Explosives planted on the roof of the tunnel entrance went off. CRASH! Millions of tons of solid mountain rock fell down. Dust filled the air, choking them. Total darkness swallowed them.When the dust finally settled, Everett turned on a small flashlight. The beam of light hit a solid wall of collapsed rock.The tunnel was sealed completely. No gas could get in. No soldiers could follow them. They were safe in the dark. But the city was gone."It is done," Silas whispered in the dark. He dropped his detonator. He fell to his knees on the cold rock floor. He began to cry. The tough young commander sobbed like a child. He had lost his city.Everett knelt beside him. He did not say anything. There were no words to make this better. He just put

Silas’s eyes went wide. "Thousands of people are down there! In enclosed spaces, gas will kill every single child and mother!""I know," Everett said. He looked at the giant metal doors of the main gate. The blue energy shield above them was sparking. It sounded like tearing paper. "We cannot just run and blow the city. We have to seal the tunnel entrance perfectly. But first, we have to stop them from bringing the gas machines into the city square."CRACK!The sound was louder than thunder. The entire sky seemed to break.The blue energy shield shattered. Millions of blue sparks fell from the sky like glowing rain. The shield was gone. Sunforge was naked."They broke through!" a soldier screamed from the wall.Immediately, the giant sonic ram stopped. In its place, regular cannons fired.BOOM!A huge ball of fire hit the main gate. The massive iron doors blasted open. Pieces of hot metal flew into the air, cutting down three of Silas’s soldiers. The heavy stone archway crumbled.Thro

Mayor Vance gasped. "Destroy Sunforge? My factories? My water pumps?""Archon Kade does not want to kill you just to kill you," Everett explained. "He wants this city. He wants your factories to build his weapons. He wants your water to feed his soldiers. If you leave the city perfect for him, he will use your own homes to kill the rest of the Free Cities. You must leave him nothing but ashes and broken metal."Silas looked at the beautiful, broken city. He felt sick. But he understood. This was war."Rig the factories with explosives," Silas said to a soldier nearby. "Put bombs on the water pumps. Put bombs in the power stations. When the last person is in the tunnel, we blow it all to hell."Down in the city streets, there was pure panic. Loud sirens screamed in the air. WEE-OOO! WEE-OOO!People ran out of their houses. They carried small bags, crying babies, and pieces of bread. They pushed wheelbarrows full of blankets. Dogs were barking. Children were screaming for their mothers
Chapter 277
The sound never stopped.Boom. Boom. Boom.It was like a giant hammer hitting the sky. The city of Sunforge shook with every hit. Dust fell from the ceilings. Small rocks danced on the ground.Sunforge used to be a beautiful place. It was the biggest of the Free Cities. It had tall chimneys that pushed white smoke into the air. It had big factories that made tools, guns, and farm machines. The people here were proud. They worked hard with their hands. They built things.Now, Sunforge was breaking.For forty days, Archon Kade’s army had surrounded the city walls. They did not attack with soldiers first. They attacked with fire. Huge cannons sat on the hills outside the city. Every hour, they shot balls of blue plasma at the city.Sunforge had an energy shield. It was a giant blue bubble of light that covered the city. When the plasma balls hit the shield, the sky lit up with bright, blinding colors. But the shield was getting weak. It used to be bright blue. Now, it was a sick, pale pi

Silas turned pale. The scar on his cheek looked very bright red. "A second army? From behind? We are trapped!"The Free City fighters were cheering because they were winning the fight in the canyon below. They did not know death was walking up right behind them."What do we do?" Silas grabbed Everett's shirt. He was shaking. "If we turn around to fight the second army, the first army will climb out of the canyon and kill us! We are caught in the middle!"Everett looked around fast. His mind was calculating numbers, distances, and times. There was only one way out. He looked at the massive iron bridge.The second army had to cross the canyon to reach them. The only way across was the iron bridge."The bridge," Everett said. He pointed. "You have charges planted on the bridge?""Yes, for emergency, but we cannot blow the bridge!" Silas yelled. "If we blow the bridge, we lose the trade corridor! We will not get any food!""If you do not blow the bridge right now, you will all be dead in

Silas hid behind a large rock near the edge of the cliff. He looked down at the empty road. Everett crouched next to him. Everett did not have a gun. He only had a pair of binoculars."Do you hear that?" Silas whispered.Everett listened. The wind blew the sand. But beneath the wind, there was a sound.Stomp. Stomp. Stomp.It sounded like a giant heartbeat. The ground began to shake just a little bit. Small pebbles rolled down the cliff."They are coming," Everett said quietly. "Tell your people to stay totally down. Do not look over the edge."Silas pressed a button on his radio. "Hold the line. Nobody moves. Nobody breathes."Around the corner of the canyon, Kade's army appeared. It was a terrifying sight. There were five hundred guild mercenaries. They walked perfectly in step. Stomp. Stomp. Stomp. They wore thick, black armor that shined in the hot sun. Their helmets had no faces, just glowing red slits for eyes. They carried massive energy rifles.In the center of the army was a
