“Chaaaaarge! Start the invasion of Cercis!” I howled at my useless troops.

We’d done our best to invade Cercis across the border wall, but what should have been an easy invasion suddenly ground to a halt. Attacks flew at us from both sides—one from those damn Freesian knights and one from a mysterious ambush on the outer side of the wall.

My soldiers were pushed away from the castle town and back outside the country. The Freesian knights had forced our formation to flip, leaving the army no more than a panicked mass of men without leadership. I shouted commands, but little by little, we lost ground and retreated. Still, I was merciless in commanding my soldiers. I ordered anyone turning tail to get back to Cercis at once.

That was when something fell from the sky. Then another. And another.

Plop. Plop, plop, plop.

Lumps the size of our hands rained down outside the border wall. A whiff of gunpowder had me instantly on alert, but my shocked soldiers could do little but scramble out of the blast zone. A second look revealed the bombs weren’t lit. They were mere balls of gunpowder. Though we had no idea where they’d come from, it was easy enough throwing them back into Cercis. I ordered my men to do so, but it was too late.

A single lit bomb appeared out of nowhere.

This time, screams pierced the air. My soldiers fled in every direction. Ear-splitting bangs followed. That single bomb had lit the surrounding explosives, resulting in a chain reaction.

From my position farther back on the battlefield, I could tell we hadn’t suffered too many injuries. A direct hit would have been nearly lethal, but these individual explosives weren’t nearly as deadly as long as we kept our distance. Still, we weren’t sure exactly what had just happened. The moment we thought the danger might have passed, massive projectiles much larger than the last pelted our heads from above.

More shrieks tore through the air, although these explosives weren’t lit. Even so, we all knew what would happen if another spark came flying our way. The soldiers at the front were the most vulnerable, yet I kept on ordering them to push forward. It left my troops squeezed between their own brethren and the Freesian knights cutting them down at the front lines. They had nowhere to run.

As expected, the lit explosives came next. Small bombs popped up out of thin air, one after another, grim specters come to deliver our deaths. On their own, the bombs wouldn’t do much. But there was a mountain of explosives right on the ground, waiting for that spark to ignite a whole inferno.

The fuses hissed as they burned down before finally erupting. Secondary blasts followed, and within a few seconds, the area around the border wall was filled with smoke that billowed beyond Cercis itself.

The curtain of smoke obscured my vision. This wasn’t a real explosion, yet it had already scattered my soldiers and left them choking on smoke. They couldn’t see, let alone engage in a proper retreat, though they hurried backward anyway.
