An even louder sound came, and suddenly many strange things flew straight up from behind the city wall and rushed towards them.
Fang Congyun was completely overwhelmed. His army of fighters was utterly powerless against these strange creatures. These things, covered in iron, were almost completely immune to the weapons in their hands, let alone their prized fighting spirit.
Those humanoid figures were three or four meters tall and moved with extraordinary speed, rushing directly into the crowd.
This imagined massacre has become a reality, but it was his side that was massacred.
A great fear spread through the army, which was actually a patchwork of various powerful families. When faced with overwhelming strength, they began to flee.
The city tower fell straight down from the sky, and the earth shook.
"Oh! The power of science!" the city tower exclaimed, its tone quite proud. However, it did not forget its mission. After determining Fang Congyun's location, the bulky city tower actually relied on the airflow behind it to rapidly approach Fang Congyun.
The guards protecting Fang Congyun collapsed at the first touch.
Two thick arms that grew from the city gate tower slapped each other, and even the imperial guards, who were as tall as the ceiling, couldn't withstand more than two blows.
"Impossible! I am the ruler of the world! I...I am a ninth-rank..."
Fang Congyun was already numb. By the time he came to his senses, he was already being held in the city gate tower's hand like a bug, and no matter how much he struggled, it was all in vain.
"Science is great! Science is the future!" Chenglou continued his incessant chatter. "Do you even know what mechanical ascension is?"
Fang Congyun didn't understand; he was terrified.
"Old ghost, you're so noisy." Fang Zhiyi's voice finally shut Cheng Lou up.
He breathed a sigh of relief. These things were discovered over the years, and he could only try his best to repair them. Fortunately, with the support of the people of Yicheng, he was able to restore a power system.
It seems that this is enough to deal with these fighters.
It is even more direct and effective than firearms.
"What kind of flying iron block is that?"
"The city gate tower has stood up?"
"There are also strange people who can create explosions out of thin air?"
All the powerful families received the message, but they were completely baffled. What was going on?
Their understanding was completely shattered when the mechanical legion swept up from the southwest like a torrent.
This battle, which later became known as the technological revolution, began inexplicably and ended quickly; even the reclusive ancestors who intervened could only survive a couple more rounds.
Most importantly, wherever these "rebels" went, they began distributing the wealth of aristocratic families, and more ordinary people chose to join them.
In just one year, this inhuman rebel army swept through the capital.
On that day, the powerful and wealthy families in the capital spontaneously surrendered, but the other side did not accept their surrender.
The deranged Jian Xiaoyu never expected that her new cellmate would be Fang Congyun. She excitedly cursed him, but Fang Congyun was completely dazed and kept muttering to himself. He was clearly terrified.
People were being brought into the prison in a steady stream. At first glance, they were all familiar faces—the heads of this family, the ladies of that family. Jian Xiaoyu couldn't imagine what earth-shattering changes had occurred outside.
Until she saw that the fox princess had also been thrown in.
She had nothing else in her eyes but wanted to humiliate the two despicable people as much as possible.
The guards outside informed them that a public trial would be held against them, and Jian Xiaoyu was fortunate enough to see the light of day again. By this time, she had a full head of white hair, wrinkles all over her face, and her eyes were full of malice and resentment.
What she couldn't understand was that there were no powerful figures outside as she had imagined, but rather ordinary people she had always looked down upon sitting on top, sentencing them.
Murder, robbery, enslavement... one crime after another was laid out. People went from hesitating at the beginning to vying to speak and testify. Jian Xiaoyu also got her wish and went to the guillotine with her first love, Fang Congyun.
