The army strategically stationed themselves on the left and right, blocking any chance for the enemy to fight back.
Backline ranged units lined up, providing flanks to the remaining enemy forces.
With the limbs suppressed and the city gates opened, General Cyclone strolled into the city wielding the Sword of Kings.
"Mmm~♡♡"
As he entered the city, the city lord was left speechless, unable to utter a single word.
Surely the successful fire attack by the old turtle also led to the suppression of the enemy's guard towers.
Although the enemies in the city streets struggled, a single sweep of General Cyclone's longsword immediately decimated their defenses.
Simultaneously, the swinging of the Sword of Kings created wave after wave of shockwaves.
The aftershocks not only blasted through the walls of the city streets but also stirred up the monsters within.
"What's this?!"
In response to the soldiers' panic, General Cyclone said calmly, "I've heard rumors of the City of Dusk's lord creating artificial life forms in secret, it seems..."
"Use fire! Quickly, burn them all!!"
Upon hearing a soldier's cry, General Cyclone rushed towards the source.
"No! All troops, bypass this area!"
"Don't we need to eradicate them completely?"
The soldiers were puzzled by General Cyclone's orders.
"No, look! While this monster possesses immense strength, its mind is not mature. If we capture this city and properly train it, we can turn this monster into a secret weapon to restrain the city lord in the future!"
"I see! Wise decision, General!"
"Cyclone~♡♡♡"
Suddenly, the city lord's cries echoed from the guard tower.
In a desperate situation, the city lord commanded his reinforcements to push forward to exchange their lives for a momentary respite for the city.
"Wait, hold on~♡♡"
General Cyclone's army, of course, paid no heed to the enemy's pleas and continued their assault.
"At this rate... Is it coming?! It's coming!! ♡♡♡♡♡♡"
"Archers! Increase the attack!"
Ignoring the enemy's cries, the old turtle in the rear immediately ordered another volley of fire arrows, turning the guard tower into a land of crimson flames.
All resistance from the City of Dusk was completely suppressed, and the old turtle mounted his warhorse, joining his master.
In a blink of an eye, from the city gates to the deep city streets, all were occupied by the army.
"You're here too?"
"Yes, my lord!"
General Cyclone led his subordinates in clearing all obstacles on the battlefield.
"It's almost done! The enemy is trembling with fear! Victory is within reach!"
Witnessing the enemy's defeat, the old turtle dismounted and joined General Cyclone's frontlines.
"My lord, please give the order to use the Ascending Dragon Cannon now!"
Facing away from each other, battling while speaking, General Cyclone questioned the advisor.
"Do we really need to use the Ascending Dragon Cannon when the enemy is about to surrender?"
"My lord, the Ascending Dragon Cannon is not meant for delivering the final blow to individuals."
"What?!"
Surprised by the old turtle's words, General Cyclone unleashed a powerful strike, sending all nearby enemies flying several meters away.
Given the opportunity by General Cyclone, the old turtle immediately continued speaking.
"When it's time to reload the Rising Dragon Cannon, since we'll have to use it sooner or later, why not fire it now! Let our troops witness the immense power of the Rising Dragon Cannon and make them aware that we have such a powerful secret weapon!" The old turtle stared at General Cyclone with a determined look.
"Think about it, my lord. How will the battle unfold afterward? Knowing that our army possesses the deadliest weapon, our soldiers will fight to the end! They will firmly believe that as long as they continue fighting until the next shot of the Rising Dragon Cannon, even the most difficult situation can be turned around with one shot!!"
"Haha! Excellent! Truly worthy of my strategist! To come up with such a terrifying tactic at this moment!"
Suddenly, the city wall started collapsing, the enemy forces exhausted their endurance, entering a state of near-death convulsions.
"Ahhhh!!!!!!"
Hearing the cries of the collapsing city tower, General Cyclone raised the Sword of Kings high.
"Come on!! City of Dusk! Witness the power of the Rising Dragon Cannon!!"
"No! Please, don't do this~ Cyclone~ I, I'm still here~ If you fire now!!!"
"Haha! I will fire at this very moment!"
The army pushed out the Rising Dragon Cannon, passed through the city gates, and aimed directly at the heart of the city along the city's pathway.
"Fire!!!"
"No~"
The powerful strike shook the entire city, causing the renowned seductive city to crumble and deform.
In the final moment, looking at the fallen Lord of City of Dusk, General Cyclone pointed the Sword of Kings at the lord's eyes.
"You see! This is the Sword of Kings that defeated you!"
"No, it can't be… Still so majestic~"
"Tsk tsk tsk~ What a loser's face!"
With a casual swing, Cyclone let the impurities on the sword fall onto the lord's face.
"Listen! From today, you are the slave under my sword!"
Pointed at by the Sword of Kings, the defeated soul instantly became the sword's sustenance.
Sealed by the Sword of Kings, the lord of City of Dusk declared no longer able to rise again.
"Swear!"
"I, I am Elyse, the master's exclusive slave♡ Without the master’s sword, I cannot survive, a fallen slave~♡♡♡"
