So Much Effort Just To Blend In
A few heartbeats later, the most nimble and athletic of the recruits finally reached the infamous wall.
The Outer Wall, encircling Havocspire Citadel, was legendary for its impenetrability. It had thus far lived up to its name. Even the rampaging force of two Titans and two Abyssal Revenants hadn't left as much as a scratch, while almost every other structure within the city lay in ruins.
And for good reason... This wall was towering. Unbelievably tall... and thick!
Soldiers, who seemed possessed just moments before, had already regained some of their sense, their faces a mix of bewilderment and terror as they gazed up at the wall's immense shadow cast upon them. With the sun setting and the ongoing storm, the ambient light was practically nil.
Gulp!
"Haah... Haah... H-how the hell are we supposed to... Haah... climb this shit?" A barbarian wheezed, his bloodshot eyes wide in disbelief.
