Chapter 134: Massacre (4)
Meanwhile...
The ground trembled as the Mammoroth charged into the tribal army. With each thunderous step, the earth shook beneath its massive weight. The warriors scrambled to evade its path, and the beast’s roar drowned out their shouts.
Akila managed to get away in time, but not everyone was that lucky. Mammoroth swung its mighty tusks, sending soldiers flying through the air like leaves in a storm.
Spears and arrows bounced harmlessly off its thick hide as it trampled everything in its path. Panic swept through the ranks as Banur warriors struggled to regroup and form a defence against the rampaging creature.
Akila shouted orders, trying to rally his troops against the formidable foe. But Mammoroth seemed unstoppable even though the poison had slowed it down. The creature ploughed through the army with rage-induced fit, leaving chaos and destruction in its wake.
Despite their bravery, the tribal warriors were outmatched by the sheer power of the Mammoth. They fought bravely, but it was clear the creature would overwhelm them sooner or later.
"Adrian, we can’t hold much longer!" Akila yelled as he turned around to see Adrian knocked out cold. "What the- what happened to him?"
Akila frantically looked around, but no one could have put Adrian in such a state. As much as he wanted to check up on him, he knew better than to leave the Mammoroth unchecked.
Just then, two members of the tribe rushed towards the Mammoroth. Ahuli noticed them from the corner of his eyes and yelled at them to stop, but they thought only about the glory of slaying a mammoroth.
"Retreat, damnit!" Akila yelled, but in vain.
The youngsters jumped up and climbed using the creature’s trunk, avoiding its attacks, then stabbing Mammoroth’s eyes. They looked proud as they jumped off the creature’s back, unaware of the catastrophe they had committed.
