Before him, darkness loomed, and there was no turning back now that the war had begun. After this war, the Lienhardt would either crush under their might, or the kingdom plummet into an abyss without end.

As a military man, he had a duty to fulfill the tasks set by the marshal and earn enough honor.

“Your Excellency Halifa, you may need to give the order soon. If you were to wait another minute, more soldiers would fall under the assault of the defenders.”

“Once the Destroyer is launched, that city wall will crumble, becoming the turning point in this battle. Breaking through Feiguang City will be a matter of time, and you will soon be hailed as the hero of this nation-destroying war.” The voice of the Revered Envoy rang out again, alluring and seductive, like the voice of a tempting demon.

Though he felt wary and cautious about this envoy, his excitement couldn’t be contained at this moment.

Shalifa suppressed these emotions, took a deep breath, and refocused on the situation before him, turning to the messenger.

“Convey my orders. Adjust the firing parameters for all cannons, and target the midsection gate of the south wall of Feiguang City.”

“Yes!”

With the command issued, the messenger relayed the information to the bow of the ship. Navy soldiers began adjusting the parameters, taking aim at the distant, towering city wall adorned with runic inscriptions.

“Firing parameters adjusted!”

“Load the shells!”

A loader brought out a jet-black shell with bright red runes etched on it from a nearby crate, and with the assistance of the loading mechanism, inserted it into the cannon barrel, securely locking the breech.

“Shells loaded!”

“Good!” A hint of joy flashed in Shalifa’s eyes as he surveyed the soldiers waiting for his command.

In a deep voice, he declared, “Soldiers, we have come from a thousand miles away, not for tourism or leisure, but as soldiers and warriors! Fearless and undaunted, we were born to bathe in the blood of our enemies, and that is our supreme glory.

And now, there is an opportunity before us that can bring us unparalleled glory!

We will use this cannon to blast open the enemy’s turtle-like city walls, create a breach for our Marine Corps brothers, and then destroy Feiguang City!

The Lienhardt Grand Duchy will eventually fall under our iron hooves! Long live the Kingdom of Bass! Long live the King!”

“Fire!!!”

The Destroyer cannon suddenly lit up with crimson runic patterns, extending from the base to the muzzle.

After a brief delay, a massive burst of orange-red flames shot out from the large cannon’s muzzle.

Although the soldiers felt they were far enough from the ground, the terrifying shockwave that spread out in a ring almost swept them, along with the wooden crates holding the loaded shells, into the sea. The billowing smoke and dust quickly engulfed the entire bow of the ship.

The entire flagship shifted backward as if a giant had pushed it over. Everyone on board was caught off guard by this unusual recoil, crashing into the steel walls or falling to the ground.

Only the Revered Envoy, who had anticipated it, grasped the railing beforehand and watched gracefully as the smoke outside the command room slowly dissipated.

Shalifa propped himself up from the floor with the help of a chair, leaving a streak of blood on his forehead. However, he paid it no mind, his eyes fixed firmly on the window. His body trembled, not out of fear, but out of excitement.

The Revered Envoy, the sailors of the Eighth Fleet, the Lienhardt defenders of Feiguang City, and the soldiers of the Bass Kingdom’s Marine Corps all saw in the sky a dark-red trail-bearing entity streaking toward Feiguang City with terrifying speed.

In the eyes of the onlookers, that object crashed into the still-sturdy runic city wall. Dazzling red light instantly occupied everyone’s vision, followed by a deafening roar that echoed throughout the entire sea area.

Runes were shattered, robust bricks and stones were blown away, and countless pieces of flesh and military equipment dissolved in the red light. The roofs of numerous arrow towers were carried into the sky by the surging airflow, coming within tens of meters of the flying horsemen and giant eagle archers.

When everything calmed down, a massive gap, about one to two hundred meters wide, suddenly appeared in the thick, tens-of-meters-high city wall. The broken edges of the wall formed inclined slopes on both sides and the solid city gate, along with the soldiers on top of it, had vanished, revealing the houses and roads inside the city, like a missing tooth in a row of teeth.

Everyone stared in disbelief at this scene, as if they could still see the towering city wall that was there moments ago.

The shockwave from the explosion created waves that hit the fleet, snapping Shalifa out of his stupor.

He swallowed his saliva, his throat dry, and said, “This is… destruction…”

“Yes, this is the power of the Destroyer cannon.” The Revered Envoy chuckled lightly. “Not to mention the cost of manufacturing the cannon itself, even a single specialized alchemical shell consumes the resources of an entire city. No city wall can withstand its bombardment.”

“…How did you create such a weapon?”

“That’s a secret.” The Revered Envoy wore a mysterious smile, one that would be seen if visible. “Don’t worry, as long as we are still allies, such weapons will not be aimed at you.”

It was a veiled threat.

If this had happened earlier, Shalifa would have vehemently responded, but now he fell silent.

He thought of the capital of the kingdom, with walls even stronger and taller than those of Feiguang City.. Could they withstand such a bombardment?
