[b]Near Mekong River - 10/25/2022[/b] Taking a few steps back Nil regained some distance with the chinese arms masters, courtesy of Marta’s daring entrance. Even then Nil acted in a defensive, reactive manner, moreso trying to get away and not getting in the way of Marta or the flood of slush from Liu Xi’s Noble Arm. Marta’s directions were acknowledged with no more than a nod, and as the nun moved forward to brawl Nil tried to find an opening between the kites from which to hit either of their opponents while avoiding Marta, not an easy task now that she had moved in melee. But the series of unexpected issues was not over yet. Deafening sounds had never been pleasant, and from the near explosion of a missile in Lingayen to the roaring of Qingshe’s 20-inch guns, recent missions sure haven’t been lacking in the [i]’ear-splitting blasts of doom’[/i] department. And, one more, the world became engulfed by the booming of the battlefield, then by the [i]buzzing[/i] and the cacophony of the world taking over, making it difficult to see, to track the figures that were once enemies and allies.
