In an instant, the gunpowder that had been previously concealed exploded, flipping over a group of people.
The gunpowder, as it happened, had been found by John in the village chief's house.
Initially, it was just firecrackers hanging on the wall, seemingly innocuous.
However, a closer look revealed a significant amount of gunpowder within.
If all of it were gathered and combined, blowing up an altar would be an easy task indeed!
Most importantly, these could also serve as signal flares.
John and Archibald had agreed to use these devices to signal each other.
Once John sent his signal, Archibald's forces were to charge over immediately, bringing all their clones with them.
Archibald, who had been hiding in the mountains, also saw the massive explosion below and his eyes lit up.
"That's the signal from big brother, let's charge!"
