Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 1002 - 69: The Last Elegy of the Thousand-Year Dynasty

Upon seeing the walls of the Imperial City again, Wang Yunxiao felt overwhelmed with emotions.

This beginner’s dungeon was one he rarely farmed, but it had indeed left many precious memories.

Including the Ten Thousand Mountains and Rivers boxing manual he was currently cultivating, which he had obtained from this dungeon.

It’s just a pity that the version updates too fast... or perhaps that’s just how this era is.

Empires that are thriving today might be punctured and collapse by tomorrow.

Pioneering scientific theories developed today could be overturned casually by other geniuses tomorrow.

Human civilization has achieved qualitative ascension in just a hundred years.

Now, the city wall before him was already in ruins, reportedly destroyed by a Giant Dragon, and the Dragon Worship Church has now vanished into thin air, with only a few fanatics turning to the Mountain God of West Spring Mountain.

Wang Ying, somewhat bored, toyed with the long spear in her hand. With her height using the standard military-issued spear, it looked quite out of place. But she personally preferred her fists over gunpowder weapons.

But the times have changed.

"Are we charging in?"

As they approached the outskirts of the Imperial City, even with her dull senses, she could clearly feel the abyssal malice behind the city walls.

This place was beyond saving.

It’s uncertain whether this world will still exist, or be renamed after the Thousand-Year Dynasty World of the Thousand-Year Dynasty completely falls.

"Wait for the cannon to be brought up."

Although the city walls now were no longer the fortified barriers of the past, with marks of imperfection visible everywhere at a glance, making climbing unnecessary, one could simply go around through the gaps.

But Wang Yunxiao still didn’t plan to change his pre-established plan - attacking the city gate.

Many brilliant strategies are recorded in history precisely because they are rare.

You have a plan, I have a plan, I anticipated you would anticipate my anticipation...

It’s really unnecessary.

The weaker side only racks their brains for clever tricks to compensate for the disparity in strength.

Wang Yunxiao didn’t consider himself the weaker side at all.

He had a force of six hundred troops under his command—sounds insignificant, not as mighty as three thousand iron cavalry or ten thousand strong archers.

But these were six hundred fully professional soldiers, and they were the elite main force among professional soldiers.

In certain places, like Xiaoyaojin, they could already launch a charge.

Most importantly, he had cannons.

Cannonballs are cost-free, play with them as you like.

Then why bother talking about military tactics?

F2A and it’s done.

A piercing whistle came from the sky, the sound of shells tearing through the air.

A fireball exploded at the city gate, the thick gate slowly collapsing in the firelight.

"Wormwood has some skill, huh."

Wang Yunxiao couldn’t help but praise.

Though this brother rarely speaks, he never once let him down.

Even though the shot was off by over ten meters, considering the radius of the field artillery’s damage, this deviation was completely negligible.

"Correct the error, fire another round!"

Two minutes later, a second fireball exploded on the other side of the city gate.

The road into the Inner City of the Imperial City was completely opened.

Wang Yunxiao raised his hand and made a gesture to advance, his companies began to move forward in a skirmish line formation.

Passing through the city gate, they encountered no resistance, but upon entering the urban area, terrifying illusions rushed towards them.

The city, where lanterns should have been lit at the doorway after nightfall, was now pitch black, and you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. Strange cries and wolf howls echoed in the darkness, along with various imaginative, agonized wails.

"Shameless!"

Chen Yan blushed and snorted coldly, raising her hand to light a silver Torchfire, illuminating the path ahead.

On the sides of the main street, at some point, rows of stakes had been inserted, with people stripped bare, hung, or impaled on the stakes, emitting despairing wails.

There were also many indescribable scenes, arousing the darkest desires from the depths of people’s hearts in extremely cruel ways.

Wang Yunxiao put down the lens of the Multi-Dimensional Periscope, spotting scarlet demons perched on the buildings, stretching bat wings, invoking their own magic power, constantly chanting blasphemous prayers.

The Demon’s Power was twisting this space, attempting to turn the entire city into a gigantic labyrinth, trapping this audacious vanguard unit.

"Send a report to the rear, our unit has engaged, confirming the presence of the demon forces. Estimate..."

Wang Yunxiao gave a brief scan of the scene before him: "Currently, no support is needed."

The battlefield is like a chessboard, with pieces placed one by one.

While encircling and annihilating the Imperial City with overwhelming military might would indeed save trouble, the enemy is not stupid; if they chose to swap homes at this time... using tactics like Besieging Wei to Rescue Zhao or Shedding the Golden Cicada Shell, it might very well put us in a passive position.

A massive fireball exploded again, stirring a wave of sound along the main road, blasting the demons perched on rooftops away.

Wormwood was adjusting the artillery range outside the city, each shell landing accurately upon the main road, extending forward, providing firepower support for the troops.

The opposition didn’t construct barricades.

Or perhaps they simply weren’t aware.

Such conduct, in the era of firearms, undoubtedly turns oneself into an unprotected moving target.

The wide Imperial City main road, able to accommodate eight carriages in parallel, also provided an excellent angle for shooting.

In the thunderous roar of gunfire, the once-arrogant demons were mowed down in swaths.

"Rear reports, troops are deploying tactically, maintain a stable line, don’t push too deep!"

According to the previous combat plan, if only the Demon Power has infiltrated the Imperial City, then Wang Yunxiao’s unit will handle the clearing. If demons have taken over the city interior, the second and third companies will flank and encircle, assaulting the other two city gates.

"Don’t push too deep? But these things don’t take much to fall."

Wang Yunxiao raised his gun to flick away a charging Demon Hound, while an intense feeling of conquest surged within him.

The whispering of demons was enticing them to press forward, unprecedented joy rippling through his mind.

After this battle, I can return home and get married...

What kind of a flag is this?

These demons were quite different from those he had encountered before; the Demonic Throne Knights from the Federation preferred brutal slaughter, whereas Mephisto favored conspiracies and schemes.

The demons before him excelled at arousing desires, clouding rationality.

Different breeds, but none of them anything good.

The simplest way to solve the problem is to kill them all.

Wang Yunxiao believed in the power of corroded bullets, which would leave a deep impression on them. There might exist armies in this world with a hundred percent casualty rate and not breaking, but it definitely doesn’t include demons.
