Commander Novus relayed the command. The heavy siege divisions rolled massive, star-iron cannons into position along the wide avenues. The desert warrior mages channeled their flames into the artillery cores, superheating the massive iron projectiles.
"Orikal," Iron-Scale called out. "Crack the gates."
The towering Obsidian Golem stepped past the frontline infantry. Orikal possessed the Mythic-tier Centipede Carapace Plating, granting him absolute immunity to structural fracturing. He lowered his massive shoulder and built terrifying momentum.
The ground shook with every step as he charged directly at the primary iron gate.
He collided with the metal. The sheer kinetic impact generated a localized shockwave that shattered the cobblestones within a fifty-foot radius. The protective runes etched into the gate flared violently, desperately trying to disperse the physical trauma.
