For the alliance army, this period of time was also very depressing for them.
In the beginning, they thought that they could easily take down Parsus.
But when they started attacking Parsus, they realized that it was like a mouse trying to pull a tortoise with nowhere to start.
Parsus' sturdy and tall city walls, as well as the fact that they could only enter through bridges, made it impossible for the alliance army to approach.
It wasn't that they didn't think of blasting the city walls with magic cannons, but it was a pity that the mobile magic cannons they brought were too weak. Apart from leaving a few charred marks on the city walls, they were almost useless.
In this case, the alliance army could only helplessly choose the stupidest method — besieging the city.
If it were elsewhere, they certainly wouldn't dare to do so.
But fortunately, Parsus was the only city, and they didn't have to worry about other places sending people to attack them from behind. Therefore, the alliance army sealed off the periphery of the entire city as much as possible. In their opinion, there must be a lot of people in such a large city who needed to eat and drink. When the supplies ran out, the city would collapse from the inside.
But it was a pity that the alliance army didn't expect that Jenn had considered the issue of self-sufficiency when designing this city.
At present, the supplies in Parsus were enough for them to indulge in debauchery for a year. Besides, unlike other cities, even the farmlands were located in the relatively periphery of the city, which meant that even if the city gates of Parsus were closed for a year, everyone could still do what they were supposed to do. Apart from the inconvenience when going out, there were basically no other problems.
On the contrary, the alliance army showed signs of collapsing due to the long supply line and high consumption.
When they saw the Magic Empire's warships coming, they were excited for a while, thinking that the Magic Empire would cooperate with them to attack Parsus. But they didn't expect that the Magic Empire would just turn around and run away without firing a single cannon.
This made the alliance commander very depressed. He also specially looked for the Magic Empire's contact in the alliance army to ask about the specific situation, but the contact obviously had nothing to tell him.
Not only that, but on the next day, the contact also left without saying goodbye. Obviously, the Magic Empire didn't seem to intend to get involved in this mess anymore.
The situation doesn't seem to be good.
There was no news from within Parsus. The Alliance Army had sent a lot of spies in, but they didn't know what method Parsus used. In short, these spies had been cut off.
However, from the outside, the entire city seemed to be in order, and there were no unusual movements due to the siege of the allied forces.
If this went on, it would be hard to explain to the others.
At this thought, the commander couldn't help but frown.
At this moment, in the Valkyrie Duchy, His Majesty the King was also dissatisfied.
When they first joined the allied forces, they promised to take down Passus within three days, then kill and loot. But now, three months had passed and there wasn't any good news from the allied forces. Instead, they received requests for supplies one after another. If it weren't for the Valkyrie attacking many places during this period and occupying a lot of wealth, perhaps the Valkyrie King would have withdrawn his army long ago.
But now, at this point, there seemed to be no other way but to brace himself and continue to persevere …
How irritating!
The King tossed the letter in his hand to the side, stood up, and gazed out the window.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Valkyrie. As long as they seized this opportunity and took control of the entire region, they would become the pioneer of a great empire in the future.
At that time, everyone would look at his statue and talk about his great deeds with reverence in their eyes.
When that happened, he would …
"…!"
But before the King returned to reality from his beautiful fantasy, he suddenly felt the ground trembling slightly. The sunlight was covered by a huge shadow and the entire world seemed to have dimmed.
At the same time, screams sounded from the outside.
This left the King, who was dreaming of his great achievements in the future, extremely dissatisfied. But before he sent someone to check out what exactly happened, the door was pushed open all of a sudden. Shortly after, his guard commander rushed in with a pale face and a forehead full of sweat.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Bad news!"
"What's wrong?
What happened? "
The King couldn't help but pucker his brows at the flustered expression of his guard captain.
"Bad news! Please leave the palace immediately!
Bad news! "
"What's wrong?
What exactly happened? "
The King grew increasingly dissatisfied with the guard commander's nonsensical words.
At that moment, his guard commander said hurriedly.
"It's too late, Your Majesty. Please look at the sky outside!"
"Sky?"
Hearing this, the King walked to the window and lifted his head to look out.
Then, he widened his eyes in shock.
A strange, enormous silver-white object hovered above the palace quietly. From below, one could clearly see the beautiful patterns engraved on the silver object and it emanated a faint azure radiance.
It was like a small mountain hovering in the air, casting its huge shadow on the palace and even the entire Valkyrie Kingdom.
What the hell is that?
"Target confirmed."
At the same time, in front of Elyse, the panic-stricken King also appeared on the screen.
Looking at the scene before her, Elyse twitched her brows. Then, she extended her hand and slid it across the screen beside her. Shortly after, the life detection spell was activated and countless scarlet, dazzling spots appeared on the map.
"Target confirmed within firing range. Prepare to attack …"
"It's firing range, you fool!"
But as soon as Elise finished her sentence, along with Pattilina's words, a karate chop struck Elise's head mercilessly. The pitiful vampire couldn't help but hug her head with both hands and squat down …
"Ugh … Miss Pattilina, could you please be gentler?"
"You're too stupid. How many times have I told you? Orders can't be wrong!"
Retracting her right hand, Pattilina said with a proud smile.
Upon hearing Pattilina's words, Elise sighed helplessly, stood to her feet, and gave another order.
"Ready to fire. Activate the Destroyer grade magic cannon."
"Yes."
Upon hearing Elyse's command, the two succubi sitting in front of the control panel took action immediately. Shortly after, along with flashes of magical runes, a logo appeared on the screen in front of everyone.
"The Destroyer grade magic cannon has been activated. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one … Fire."
A faint, blue ray of light was projected from the center of the silver-whitish beauty and illuminated the plaza in front of the palace. Looking at this scene, be it the terrified guards or the dumbfounded king, they couldn't help but stop moving. They stared at the ray of light and couldn't figure out what it was trying to do.
But at the next moment, a scorching, dazzling, and enormous white light beam erupted from above and bombarded the ground.
As the light beam struck the ground, a circle of tsunami-like flames erupted from within. In a deafening blast, they roared, rolled, and swept forward, devouring everything entirely.
The soldiers who couldn't escape in time didn't even let out a scream before vanishing completely in the white flames.
"Your Majesty, run! Your Majesty — —!"
The screams of the guard captain turned into wails, but the king didn't move an inch. He stared blankly at the rapidly approaching flames. At the next moment, his skin began to burn, revealing his flesh.
The scorching heat quickly vaporized it, and the remaining white skeleton only had time to flash through the flames before completely disappearing without a trace.
