491,
Battle is inevitable.
The two armies engaged in fierce combat within the streets of the city.
It's like trapped beasts fighting in a cage, only by giving it their all can they hope to survive.
However, the enemy knights seemed to embrace death, relentlessly charging towards the Dragon Cannon.
"Stop them!!!"
General Cyclone roared, leading his fierce warriors in the charge.
Both sides clashed head-on, wave after wave of attacks shaking the entire street.
At that moment, a knight broke through the obstacles and reached beneath the Dragon Cannon.
"For the world!!"
Extending a hand, gathering their energy, a burst of true qi was channeled into the cannon's barrel.
An unease crept into General Cyclone's heart as the cannon's barrel was forcibly heated up.
The barrel grew hotter, a great power slowly awakening.
As the strategist said, the enemy fought desperately to make the Dragon Cannon fire.
This empty city strategy instantly plunged General Cyclone's army into an unprecedented crisis.
While most Knights of the Wind City were sedated, some young knights managed to evade the trap.
Seeing a vastly superior army approaching from outside the city, the fall of Wind City became inevitable.
But how could the young knights let General Cyclone have the last laugh?
Even in death, they were determined to stop his ambition of "seven cities in one night."
For this, they sent out their remaining forces, disguised as enemy troops.
Not only to lure General Cyclone's army into the city for an invasion, but also to make a final stand for the world.
"Stop them!!!!"
General Cyclone lunged, striking down the escaping knight in time.
Yet, the situation changed once again.
The city tower suddenly exploded, engulfing the city in flames.
Ignoring the city's future, the enemy aimed for a momentary counterattack, surrounding General Cyclone's army and the city with flames.
The fire spread relentlessly, eventually engulfing the street in a raging blaze.
"At this rate..."
"Focus!!!"
With a command, all eyes turned to General Cyclone.
"Wind City is about to fall! Everyone, focus your strength!!"
At that moment, a wall of fire rose up at the city gate, trapping General Cyclone's army and the Dragon Cannon within the street.
Affected by the flames, the Dragon Cannon reached its critical point, almost ready to fire.
As a final act, a figure emerged slowly from the flames, the last Knight of the Wind City.
The person in front wielded a sword in a very novice manner, appearing to be a new knight.
But from the opponent's eyes, General Cyclone immediately grasped the truth.
They must be the mastermind behind this empty city strategy.
"I never expected you to corner me so tightly~"
Cyclone smirked.
"Come on!!! Let me show you the power of a true man!!!"
Facing the new knight, General Cyclone easily triumphed.
However, the opponent repeatedly tangled back in, after dozens of rounds, still standing.
As the fire on the tower burned out, General Cyclone questioned the female knight.
"Why?"
"Don't ask..."
A reply filled with ambiguity, despite the slight curiosity it sparked, the battle could not be halted.
General Cyclone swung his final blow, and the last knights of Wind City met their fate of defeat.
In the final deathmatch, only a mournful cry was left echoing.
"Ah~♡♡♡♡♡"
General Cyclone placed his hand on the burning barrel, revealing a sinister grin of victory.
"Hah! How amusing! But... I won!!"
In this deadly battle of Wind City, the Ascending Dragon Cannon narrowly avoided disaster.
The grand army marched proudly out of Wind City, gazing at the distant First City in the world.
"See! Everyone's efforts will not be in vain!! What's next?!"
Just when General Cyclone thought he could finally relax, suddenly two more armies emerged from behind, once again tightly encircling his grand army.
