For many years, the Dahua Imperial Capital had not experienced such calamities: first hit by two ballistic missiles that nearly killed the Emperor, and now artillery fire could be heard again.
For those civilians living in the Imperial Capital, this past year was filled with disasters, and the stories they experienced were more than the total of the past two hundred years combined.
"Why is there artillery fire now?" Civilians gathered in the north of the city looked in terror at the column of smoke rising in the distance, nervously asking each other.
"Who knows? Before it was just gunshots, and now, cannons are being fired." Another civilian was also full of tension.
You've got to be kidding me, this is the Imperial Capital! If this place isn't safe, where in the world could possibly be safe?
"Who knows what exactly happened in the south of the city?" some were still curiously asking, genuinely wanting to know what had become of the city's southern part.
