The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess

Chapter 109 - Fire In The Hole



A huge concentrated mass of soldiers marched under the faint glint of the moon.

From the top of the sky, one could only see a blackish mass covering the ground which looked as if a huge number of black ants were moving towards the destined location in an orderly and coordinated manner.

The faint sound of crinkling and rustling of broken leaves and twigs spread slowly as they marched towards the fortress.

The ground started to rumble slowly which started to create tremors that advanced slowly towards the Fortress.

Leading them was a commander who stayed ahead with a huge fearsome scythe, and from his body, a frightening ghastly aura radiated out which was enough to scare everyone.

The commander noticed that there was no reaction from the Fortress side and thought that the information was correct.

There weren’t even flame torches on the top of the walls which had already been extinguished and since all of them had been drunk and wasted, no one was awake to lit up the flame torches.

He sighed in relief seeing this. At this moment he was entirely relying on the information he got from the traitor.

But his sharp senses suddenly felt something amiss and he rotated his head to and fro but still, he wasn’t able to point it out.

But as he and the soldiers got near to the Fortress, his attention went towards the sound that echoed each time they took a step.

Letting soldiers, he stopped on the spot and raised his vigilance while examining the sound of steps hitting the ground.

His brows furrowed and his expression distorted as he felt that they were walking on a hollow piece of land instead of a robust soil surface.

“What is going on?” He muttered inwardly while asking the question to himself which was answered brutally in the next instant.

……

Standing before an underground hole which had been dug recently, Alex stood with a serious expression.

On his back, was a great sword and another normal long sung on his waist.

One can feel a fearsome aura radiating out from him which was enough to send a chill down his spine.

Christina who stood beside him looked at him with a surprised expression as Alex had been standing there for more than an hour as if he was staring at something in front of him but she wasn’t able to find anything.

Though he was standing there like a statue, he would occasionally crack a few jokes or some shameless words but suddenly as if his entire existence changed, his expression became serious and his warm gentle eyes suddenly became as sharp as a sword while a murderous glint flashed from his eyes.

Christina, who was wondering what was going on, suddenly felt faint tremors and saw that the soil was slowly sliding off the roof.

SNAPP!

Alex snapped his fingers and Christina, as if understanding everything, nodded her head and ran outside.

Coming outside the pit, she took the bow and loaded it with an arrow and after lifting it, fired it into the night sky.

A small flash of golden radiant light broke through the pitch darkness of night.

Seeing it, many soldiers and mages who were hiding in the bushes jumped down the designated trenches assigned to them.

There were around 20 squads and each squad comprised 8 archers with a mage.

The archers jumped down the trench and raised their bows towards the canal passage which led to a huge open paced area.

Alex along with his squad dug a passage leading to an underground place under the plain and after ensuring the thickness of soil to left, he dug a huge and wide-open space with the help of mages and the soldiers, under the legendary miner’s guidance whose goal was to dig deep to the centre of the world.

After digging, Alex and the mage used earth magic to form many huge robust pillars, to hold the ground and the upper surface from collapsing.

Alex even added a few gallons of oil and grease along with sharp rocky stalemates protruding upward with a sharp edge.

He wanted to add spears and sharp-edged weapons but due to their deficiency, he was forced to add rocky spears and stalemates.

After that, he made many small passages and trenches leading to this place.

The archers raised their arrows while the mages chanted a spell due to which many small magic circles appeared before the arrows.

The archers pulling the string fired the arrows which lit up on passing through the magic circles and their speed increased by a huge margin.

After casting the minor fire spell, the mages tried to fire a strong spell to destroy the pillar.

Alex, who was standing alone, aimed his arrow at the huge central pillar. He was the only one who could break such a huge pillar from afar with his archery and magic skills.

As he loaded the arrow, lightning started to crackle from his body and the air around him started to swirl violently which created a strong gust of wind.

The wind started to condense before his arrows and formed a narrow vortex made of a concentrated mass of air.

Alex tilted his body backwards while shifting all his weight towards the back to handle the rebound.

“Fire In The Hole!”

Stretching the bow to the limit, he fired the arrow that was covered in lightning.

TWANG!

The bow of the arrow made a pleasant sound as if strings of a harmonium had been strung and followed by which the arrow that was released from the bow shot forward like a missile.

Swishhhhhh!

The arrowhead broke the barrier of sound and the sound of the breaking of glass reverberated into the closed place and echoed through the underground place transmitting everywhere.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A huge explosion transpired as soon as the frightening arrow collided with the pillar and burst into pieces emitting a deafening roar followed by many mini chains of the explosion which took place one after another lighting up the entire underground space in an instant.

The oil and grease added by Alex lit up the fire increasing the intensity of the explosion.

…….

While Alex was doing his work making a fire in the hole, the army who were marching toward the Fortress felt that the ground had become loose which was quite odd.

They hadn’t even time to wonder what was happening when a huge, deafening roar echoed throughout the place.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

An earth-shattering explosion occurred and the ground cracked suddenly forming fissures while fire started to gush out of these cracks like spring water sprouting from underground.

The soldiers who were in the radius of the pit and standing on it were blown away by the impact and their body was sent flying a few metres up in the air but as they fall, there was no solid ground for them to land and their body fell into the huge pit which was burning with a cloud of blazes emitting a fiery got temperature enough to burn a human.

The scene looked as if all of them had been thrown into a fiery pit and it wouldn’t be wrong to say that hell had descended on them.

A hell that was going to swallow them wholly without leaving anything.
