The two plummeted to the ground right into the sights of Ningkinanka, the giant serpent whose eyes were full of rage. It opened its massive jaws to spit out its lethal toxin, intending to bury both the damned undead and the equally detestable vampire!
Just at that moment, amidst the echoing deep cannonade, twenty incendiary shells swept into the chaotic Plague Town. Eight of them struck the trembling Wizard Tower, and the remaining twelve hit the enormous body of the serpent—a target so large it was almost impossible to miss.
Such an attack was meaningless against the gem scales of the giant serpent.
However, whether by the good fortune of the Goldenrod Cannoneers or the serpent's particularly bad luck, two of the shells, by some fluke, struck right on the wounds on its back. The explosions tore its flesh asunder, causing Ningkinanka to wail in pain as it echoed to the heavens, also forcing the rain of poison it was about to unleash back down its throat.
"Well done!"
