But even if they were outmatched, they wouldn't lose their nerve!
Even though the soldiers were scared to death, their calves cramping,
they couldn't help but unleash an ant's roar as they stared up at the high-and-mighty Cultivators who saw them as nothing more.
Up in the sky, the Cultivators' response to this was, as always, simple and direct.
The warship's massive cannon once again spat out a torrent of flame, striking the ground just outside the Imperial City.
"TSSSS..."
The beam of flame from the warship didn't cause any earth-shattering explosion, only an unremarkable tearing sound.
And yet, this sound, like paper being torn, brought with it terrifying destruction.
A nearly hundred-meter-long trench was gouged into the earth beneath the city wall. Due to the intense heat that had pierced through, the ground even emitted an acrid, burning smell.
It seemed the enemy had no intention of slaughtering innocents.
