The four of them were very close to the gates, they could hear the sound of battle from afar, and this was the time for Killian and Michael to finish off Gayle, since he would be more useful for them when he was dead, instead of alive.

However, suddenly they heard something terrifying, and no one knew what happened or what to do when the ground was shaking after a loud explosion.

They looked each other in confusion, as they stayed still where they were standing.

[What’s going on?] Jasmine asked through the mindlink to Michael.

[I am not sure, I don’t know.]

And then what happened next came very fast. They were not prepared for this, even if they did, they were too close, it would be more than a challenge to escape death at this point.

[The ground is moving!] Killian shouted in his mindlink. [Go back!]

After a loud explosion, Maximus could feel the ground was shaking. He looked around him, towards the direction of the explosive sound.

He had his guess, but he couldn’t believe it really happened. Who had done it?

Someone had managed to think of using the explosion at the mountain? He had never told anyone about this strategy, aside from… Rania.

Was it her?

How could it be? He couldn’t believe she would have done it. How she could pull it through and got the access to the information of the battle.

She shouldn’t be informed to the detail of the battle, since no one would take her advice…

But then, a lot of things could happen that led her to this decision.

Where she was? In the palace? She was better be in the palace, because Maximus was going to lose his shit if she was near the battlefield.

Maximus was still in his beast form, so did Keith, who almost lost his breathe, following the king. He was grateful that they stopped, so he could regain his footing.

They had been running for hours without stopping, he wondered how the king had a lot of stamina reserved.

But, he also noticed how the ground was shaking. He followed the direction of the king’s gaze, and saw the black smoke from the explosion.

[What is that, my king? Was that… an explosion?]

:

[Yes.] Maximus patted the ground beneath his claws. [Retreat.]

[Retreat?]

Keith wanted to ask why would they need to retreat when the explosion was so far away, and they were so close to the gates.

However, he didn’t have time to ask when he felt the ground was shaking for the second time, but not only it was shaking, but it was also moving!

Without a second thought, Keith immediately followed the king, he tried to keep up with him, as he leapt from one stone to the other, as the ground kept moving.
