After the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, the Minuteman struck the bridge on the Jurna Bridge, the Boxers, who witnessed such a destructive power before them, were stunned and agape.
The bridge that they can use to cross the river and lessen their time to get to the International Legation Quarters was now destroyed.
Among the groups, some were beginning to feel apprehensive to approach the International Legation Quarter out of fear of the unknown.
As some of the groups were about to part ways and rout, the commander leading the battalion of Boxers raised his pistol up and fired it.
"You! Don't even think of getting away!"
"This is madness sir!" one of the men protested. "The heavens might be punishing us!"
"You stupid peasants, if the heavens want us destroyed then we wouldn't be standing here to have this talk! Keep yourselves together! We have to expel those evil foreigners that are plaguing our land and destroying our country!"
