Southern Bright Moon, Canglan Pass.
The roar of Soul Cannons rang from dawn until dusk, and the entire pass trembled.
The massive gates were blasted open by cannon fire. The Bright Moon battle flags atop the walls were snapped in two, their tattered cloth hanging from the poles like bloody serpents. Countless iron hooves had churned the ground before the pass into mud, while bloody water flowed along the wheel ruts and seeped deep into the earth.
Clad in blood-soaked silver armor, Long Wushuang stood atop a high slope, his spear pointed directly at the pass.
"Send the order! The whole army advances! Today, we shall flatten Canglan Pass!"
At the command, the Radiant Sun army swept forward like a black tidal wave. Heavily armored cavalry charged at the front, while Soul Engineer legions advanced in formation behind them. Countless Soul Cannons charged at once, their blinding Soul Power beams tearing through the smoke and slamming into Canglan Pass's walls.
BOOM!!!
A massive crack split open across the walls, and countless defenders screamed as the shockwave flung them into the air.
The Bright Moon defenders fought desperately.
"Hold Canglan Pass to the death!"
The defenders erupted in an earthshaking roar.
However, the Radiant Sun Empire's firepower was simply too terrifying.
High-Grade Soul Engineers formed battle arrays, pouring out Soul Power like a raging flood. Golden, blue, and red beams pierced through the battlefield, tearing the defenders' formations to pieces.
Half an hour later, Canglan Pass fell.
Within two days, two passes had fallen.
When the news reached the Bright Moon imperial capital, the entire court was shaken. Yet even more terrifying was the fact that the Radiant Sun Empire's offensive did not pause in the slightest.
Long Wushuang gave the Bright Moon Empire no chance to catch its breath. After
