489,
After the battle, a fine rain began to fall, giving the gunpowder-scented Rising Dragon Cannon a thorough cleanse. Watching the water droplets drip from the barrel, Cyclone came to a realization. The power of the Rising Dragon Cannon was astonishing; after firing two shots in a row, the barrel began to show signs of instability. In the upcoming battles, the Rising Dragon Cannon could only be fired once more.
Pausing in the rain, Cyclone's vast army temporarily halted in front of the gates of the Water Sanctum City, admiring the victories they had achieved and taking a brief rest. After such a fierce battle, Cyclone's army successfully captured four cities, achieving a great feat unparalleled in history. However, as an ambitious general, Cyclone had already set his sights on a grander goal.
【Seven Cities in One Night】
To paint the world with his colors, for the people of the realm, Cyclone General would not stop until his goal was accomplished. Two hours until sunrise, four hours as the limit, time allocation was perfectly planned. Even if the troops rested for half an hour now, they could still swiftly capture a city every half hour thereafter, completing the feat before sunrise. Loading the Rising Dragon Cannon required time; resting for half an hour would perfectly prepare it for the final strike. Just as Cyclone General and his strategist had these thoughts, a troop unexpectedly appeared in the distance.
"Hold on!"
They were not enemies but their own army. Soldiers who were originally not going to make it back had somehow returned. To lay siege to the seven cities, Cyclone General had dispatched all available manpower, but in the end, only forty thousand men returned. Their return was undoubtedly a heaven-sent gift.
"Everyone..."
"General! We are late!!"
Five thousand soldiers knelt down together.
"Rise, just being able to return is enough..."
Cyclone General was moved to tears; now, with this additional force, Cyclone's military strength was slightly bolstered. However, an aura of divine light suddenly appeared in the unknown distance.
"What is this?!"
Everyone exclaimed as the light of the wise appeared in the post-battle sky, as if destiny itself had been carefully woven after the great war.
"Hahaha!! Now even the heavens are on our side~"
"Younger brother is right, big brother! Look, it seems the next city is there!"
"That is..."
In the direction guided by the light, lay the legendary Wind City. Surrounded by beautiful landscapes, it was like a magnificent fairyland. Built in an elegant and noble style, the City of Wind, the fifth city of the continent, was a beautiful city established by the mighty Holy Knights. Just gazing at the walls of the city evoked an indescribable charm. With the experience of capturing four cities and guided by the light of the wise, Cyclone's army fixed their gaze on Wind City ahead. Such resolute and united will was a golden opportunity. The grand army advanced step by step towards Wind City.
After capturing four cities in a row, exhaustion should have set in. But as the entire army arrived at the gates of Wind City, the soldiers' eyes blazed with fervent determination.
"My soldiers, now is the time to test our mettle!"
Seeing his great army inspired by the beauty of Wind City, General Cyclone naturally would not miss such a great opportunity.
"Although our rest time is short, just look at this!!"
Once an unreachable existence, the city had now become a fallen city waiting to be conquered.
The so-called nobility was no more, the enemy soldiers all in a state of slumber, now vulnerable and at their mercy.
There was no room for hesitation; even facing such enemies, General Cyclone would not show mercy.
"Now!! Cast aside your mercy!!"
Mounting his warhorse, the battle was about to resume.
"For the realm, draw your swords!!!"
With a command, the entire army unsheathed their swords together.
"Charge!!!!!"
Like a fierce beast, General Cyclone led his invincible army charging through the gates of Wind City.
