Veda slowly raised his hand, his eyes fixed ahead as the Ground Apes drew closer to the first marked line. The mark had been carved into the earth earlier by Ezra himself, a signal point. The moment the beasts crossed it; the first attack would begin.
The wind carried a faint tremor through the ground. It wasn't loud, but it was there… like something heavy was coming, step by step, pressing against the earth. Closer, closer and closer.
Veda's fingers tightened slightly. His arm stayed raised for a second longer, as if weighing the exact moment.
Then…
"FIRE!!!"
His voice tore through the air, the response was instant.
Huge boulders were launched forward with force. The mechanisms groaned as tension released, and the stones shot upward, spinning through the sky before descending like falling fragments of a broken mountain.
The air whistled as the boulders fell.
