Few days later, the capital city, the center of the nation's military and financial power, was also turning into a battlefield.
High above the burning skyscrapers—
Rynik screamed across the storm-filled sky.
KKKRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
The giant bird spread its wings wide enough to eclipse entire city blocks.
Lightning exploded around its body like a living storm, turning the clouds black and blue. Every flap of its wings sent hurricane-force winds crashing through the capital.
Glass shattered for kilometers.
Buildings bent under the pressure.
Cars rolled through the streets like toys.
But unlike the other cities—
the capital was prepared.
"TARGET LOCK CONFIRMED!"
"All artillery ships, continue bombardment!"
"DO NOT let it gain altitude!"
Dozens of massive flying warships surrounded Rynik from every direction.
The ships looked like massive floating fortresses, shaped like heavily armored aircraft carriers suspended in the sky.
