Under The Shroud of The Smoke [Bonus]

POV ???:

The battle finally ended, and the constant rumbling of the thunders finally quieted.

Huge metallic contraptions that looked like ballistae, with their weapon parts replaced by a huge metallic rod connected with lines of glowing metal to the large blue crystals, were placed on the mounds with a good view.

They were large, each as big as a big jeep.

Soldiers in metallic lamellar armour just stood around them quietly, their temples still covered in sweat.

They were shaken, refusing to even move after witnessing the massive skyships in the sky getting annihilated.

"It could have been me on their board..."

"Is it dead?"

The whole air was filled with clouds of ash and dust, and no one could see further than a few meters into the distance.

Loud coughing echoed through the mound as the soldiers tried not to breathe the dust, accompanied by the loud humming of their magic detectors around them as they went mad, with all of the mana dispersed in the air.
