Chapter 34: Fall of Esthirant (Part 2)

Imperial capital Esthirant

"By the order of the Emperor! Everyone keep moving! Head towards parneus immediately, on the double! The invaders are incoming!."

Being commanded by the imperial messenger, every high ranking officials of parpaldia began to escape, the ASEAN are coming with the usual bombardment and ridiculous attacks, destroying every single military camps that defending the Esthirant at pinpoint accuracy. They don't know how large the landing force of ASEAN, but one thing for sure, it's more than enough to put Esthirant on it's knees.

"Sire here! We need to ran away fast!."

"Indeed."

Immediately they ran towards their carriages and have the coachmen hasten the pace of horses. However, before they could reach the carriages, The ground shaken followed by screeching sounds of ASEAN mechanical aircrafts. It's no longer an ordinary attack, it's a total invasion.

Minutes since passed but the fleeing Parpaldian officials have been stucked in the middle of the road due to traffick of fleeing people, it's thousands however, they know the flux will progress but there's something wrong with it, on one of the certain fancy carriage, a butler called on his master

"Sire! Someone are sabotaging ahead! Maybe those are enemies spies trying to stop our attempt to escape!."

"How did they do that!."

"They killing our musketeers with unkown silent guns and have a white smokes that paralyzing the people who inhales it!".

A gun that can't be heard due to it's inaudible fire? Ridiculous! They thought, also they are equally bewildered about those unknown white smokes that been unleashed. Is it a magic that paralyzing the people? They questioned themselves, those things are unheard of in the parpaldia, how the enemies manage pull those off.

"Sire! Sire!."

While the officials thinking deeply, they forgotten what happening on the surroundings for a moment. "What it is?."

"Sire, our forces concluded that it was dangerous to proceed on the areas filled with white smokes and the places where ASEAN silent musketeers are possibly hidden."

"So what do we do? Will we wait until their invasion force reached the Esthirant?."

"No, so far we are still trying to grasped the location of ASEAN soldiers sneaked in the city, as fast as possible so until then we need to stay out here, sire."

"It's still the same, we are cornered rats here...can't we breakthrough?"

"My apologies, they are way too silent, way too clean in working things, they are definitely elites sent by ASEAN to sabotage us."

"Rather than soldiers, they are more of a assassin."

A few hours passed away like nothing.

"We are moving!."

The carriage progress as the soldiers outside returned, this is a sign that soon Esthirant will turned into battlefield. Or they thought so, several explosions happened throughout the Esthirant, notably outside.

"It is a bombardment?!"

"Let's hide!."

"Run fast!."

The people of Esthirant began to panick, though compared to initial shocks they've got on preliminary attacks of ASEAN few weeks ago, this are less chaotic and somehow orderly than before, knowing that ASEAN doesn't directly attack civilian populations with no reason.

Meanwhile, team of Parpaldian VIP's began to sprinting outside. Despite the fact they might be attacked outside but with much better chance of escaping than rather being cornered and captured here in Esthirant.
