Chapter 4804: Great Shock

A fierce gust of wind blew in.

Duan Yue's dark hair was disheveled and danced wildly in the wind, his dark, starry eyes narrowing slightly for a moment.

The three armies had assembled, and outside, it was already brightly lit.

All the major generals had already prepared their troops, waiting only for the appointed time to immediately launch the assault.

Before this, they had kept their troops stationary, sending people to infiltrate Yan City and establish contact with the defending generals.

Yan City, since ancient times, had been an easy place to defend and difficult to attack.

Even after being besieged by the Heavens' Will for so long, it still held its last line of defense.

The Harpies could not enter the city and wreak havoc, but the Heavens' Will leader who brought people to besiege the city seemed not to be in a hurry.

They simply surrounded it, as if waiting for Yan City's citizens to run out of supplies and surrender on their own.

Now, the Yan City defenders knew that His Majesty was outside the city and had secretly mobilized many troops, and their hearts were at ease.

They only needed to cooperate with His Majesty for a coordinated inside and outside attack, and they wouldn't fear those bastards from Heavens' Will.

"Begin the operation," Qi Eight Young Master commanded, leading the army.

A middle-aged general mounted his horse, clasped his fists in a salute towards Duan Yue, then turned his horse around, leading a contingent of light cavalry along a small path towards the back mountains of Yan City.

Duan Yue's gaze lightly fell on the direction the light cavalry had taken. "Prepare twenty Divine Stone Cannons."

"Boom!" When the Divine Stone Cannons fired at the Harpies suspended in mid-air, most of the Harpies were perched outside the city walls, awaiting orders from the Heavens' Will high command.

As soon as the cannon fire erupted, soldiers inside the city walls, clad in heavy armor and helmets, emerged from within, pushing large catapults and bombarding the Harpies.

With the power of the Divine Stone Cannons, massive boulders rained down, striking many Harpies, causing them to shriek and fall from the sky.

The Battle of Yan City lasted only half a night, from start to finish.

The defending soldiers in the city, having been truly enraged by those bird-brained scoundrels from Heavens' Will, became incredibly valiant upon receiving news of His Majesty's arrival, as if injected with stimulants.

The two sides coordinated, forcing the Heavens' Will forces to abandon the city and flee. However, a squad of light cavalry, on Duan Yue's orders, had entered the city ahead of time, heading straight for the underground water defense system.

After opening the gates, they diverted the river water into channels outside the city.

A group of water mages were already waiting there, storing the water flow in the channels outside the city.

In a short while, the underground defense system exploded in a blaze of fire, shooting straight into the sky.

This blast knocked down all the remaining Harpies who couldn't escape.

They were like tiny moths drawn to a raging fire, but sadly, they didn't love the flames. Their bodies were uncontrollably pulled by a powerful gravitational force, and they were dragged down with twisted expressions.

Duan Yue led the three armies, treading over the scattered limbs of Harpies, into the city.

The defending army commanders threw open the city gates to welcome him, leading the common people who greeted him with tears streaming down their faces.

These days, being besieged within the city had truly been a tragic experience.

Those who survived were now covered in dust and grime.

"Your Majesty." A swift rider cut through the crowd, quickly galloping towards him.

Little Kezi, close by Duan Yue's side, quickly said, "It's Hu, whom you sent out; he's returned."

Duan Yue reached out and took the secret letter handed to him by the shadow guard. He tore it open and quickly scanned its contents, his expression suddenly changing.

Mo Lian and the Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable fell into the Sacrificial Sea Abyss?

Qiao Qiao is missing?
