Stunned.
Stunned.
Quiet.
Deadly quiet.
At this moment, the entire world, all the powers were dumbfounded.
The scene from the square was revealed to them through the coalescence of various types of magic weapons.
It was a cloud of light.
A light that was more blazing than the sun.
It pushed across a full three hundred miles as if destroying and pulling down.
What a terrifying sight it was.
Three hundred miles were filled with scorched earth, all buildings were reduced to nothingness, and 700,000 barbarian armies, before they could say a word, died in the midst of this cataclysm.
This battle.
A complete and utter sealing of the gods.
The Great Wei Dynasty was in an uproar, a battle that was being watched by great figures in all the counties, who were watching every moment.
With the help of their magic weapons, they could see the battlefield even when they were ten thousand miles apart.
What was expected to be an unprecedented battle was unexpected, but Xu Qingnian had used a secret weapon to directly annihilate the barbarians’ 700,000-strong army.
Seven hundred thousand troops.
What kind of concept is that?
The Barbarians had spent a lot of time and effort before and after their million strong army, and behind this was a lot of credit to the Sudden Evil Dynasty and the Primordial Yuan Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, even if the leader of the 700,000-strong army was a pig, the invasion of Wei would be a catastrophe.
Even if it was a pig, leading an army to invade Great Wei, the casualties would be at least a million, yes at least several million.
In the shame of Jingcheng, there were countless dead and wounded, the bones of the dead were like mountains, and the number of people who died before and after was over ten thousand.
At that time there were a million men and horses, and this time, with 700,000 troops, it was about the same in terms of numbers.
In the seven northern expeditions, the number of barbarian generals annihilated before and after was almost as many as seven hundred thousand.
But Great Wei had also paid an extremely painful price.
But now, Xu Qingnian had wiped out 700,000 troops in one single shot, which was simply a miracle.
Oh, no, not a miracle, a miracle.
The world was in an uproar, Xu Qingnian’s battle had not only dumbfounded the barbarians, but also the whole world.
All up and down Great Wei were watching the battle, an unprecedented catastrophe, but what was unexpected was that it was resolved in this way.
“Great Wei has won.”
“Xu Sheng is mighty.”
Finally, as a voice rang out, it reached outside.
The people did not know what had happened, and those who could see the images of the battlefield were at least at the level of a Prefect.
Most of the people were waiting for the news.
But as the news came out.
The people were a little confused.
This hadn’t even been fought, and they had won?
Most of the people did not understand what had happened, but someone spoke up to tell what had happened in the first place.
After all, they couldn’t understand it, they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, and they had no sense of empathy.
It would take time to convince the people.
However, among the Great Wei courtroom.
It was the real excitement.
The six ministers.
All the princes and lords of the state.
All of them were dumbfounded.
Even the empress, including the empress, revealed her unparalleled astonishment.
This move by Xu Qingnian was simply like a demon subduing lord from heaven.
It was too fierce, too fierce.
With an army of 700,000, no matter if anyone else were to meet the battle, they would have to line up their troops for a long time.
To be honest, the Great Wei was internally anxious about the barbarians’ surprise attack.
Especially the Ministry of War.
To fight a war, one must first prepare food, then plan.
Now the Ministry of War is writing war plans overnight, preparing for the worst and the best, projecting the battle.
How the 700,000 strong army would strike, how they would attack, what might or might not happen, it was all written in, and then the detailed calculations began.
It was guaranteed that no matter what happened, Great Wei would have to have a method of response.
This is what the Ministry of Warfare is for.
But the barbarians don’t give time, to be more precise, they don’t give enough time at all.
So, this battle, the one under the most pressure is the Ministry of War.
And although the rest of them are not as stressed as the Ministry of War, they also know what this battle means.
They don’t expect to win big, they just want a draw.
Because Great Wei could not really have a full-scale war right now, and once it did, there would be extremely much trouble.
But what they did not expect was this.
Xu Qingnian, surprisingly, had wiped out the 700,000-strong army of the barbarians in a single glance, which was nothing short of a miracle.
“I told you, why did Shouren stay hidden, it turns out, he wanted to annihilate the barbarian army in one fell swoop.”
Duke An’s voice rang out.
He clenched his fist and looked at the sky telescope above the imperial court, his eyes filled with excitement and his blood boiling.
How could he, as the Duke of State, not be delighted at the destruction of 700,000 barbarians in one breath? How could he not be overwhelmed with enthusiasm?
At the same time, at this moment, he also completely understood what Xu Qingnian had been doing before.
Great Wei had long known that the barbarians were going to invade.
But instead of choosing to take precautions, he had allowed them to invade. At first, An Guo recognized that Xu Qingnian was trying to catch a turtle in a jar.
Only he felt that something was wrong, but Xu Qingnian was determined to do so, and he had no choice.
Now, he completely understood what Xu Qingnian’s idea was.
This was not catching a turtle in a jar, this was luring the enemy deeper and killing them all in one go.
Indeed.
The barbarians had swooped over and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of unarmed people, this was a blood feud.
But compared to the 700,000 barbarians, this sacrifice was worth it.
Seven hundred thousand barbarians.
How many people could be slaughtered?
Back then, when the barbarians invaded, there was also a city where the people fought with swords, and when there was no way out, they chose the most drastic solution.
But what happened?
A city was slaughtered and the barbarian generals were not more than a hundred dead or wounded, and most of them were wounded, not many actually died.
The generals were generals.
The people were the people.
The difference between the two was so great that they were not of the same order of magnitude at all.
Naturally, the sacrifice was worth it.
It would have been best if there had been no sacrifice.
But how could war not be sacrificed?
Moreover, Lord An also thoroughly understood the reason why Xu Qingnian did not deploy in advance.
If Xu Qingnian had deployed in advance, the barbarians would have been alerted to the fact that they wanted to invade Great Wei, but did not want to be in a dangerous zone.
After all, don’t look at the Primordial Yuan Dynasty and the Sudden Evil Dynasty for their full support, but once they no longer have any value, these two dynasties would only be afraid of exterminating the barbarians at the first opportunity.
They would become outcasts.
And what is of value to the barbarians?
The millions of brave and warlike soldiers are the greatest value of the barbarians.
Why would the Primordial Yuan Dynasty and the Sudden Evil Dynasty give so many resources? Isn’t it because the barbarians are good fighters?
Naturally, if the barbarians found out that Wei was on guard, they would have guessed that Prince Huaining had been turned against them.
Even if the First Yuan Dynasty and the Tusi Dynasty forced the barbarians to go to war, the barbarians would definitely choose to work without any effort.
Send 30,000 to 50,000 troops.
At that time, if you lured the enemy inside, the barbarians would not be stupid enough to believe it outright.
Even if you let in twenty cities, I am only afraid that the barbarians will be even more suspicious.
To put it bluntly, you can’t trap a wolf by giving up a child.
Xu Qingnian’s intention.
It was to get it done once and for all.
“King of the Ping Rebellion, mighty.”
In the Great Wei courtroom, Zhang Jing’s voice rang out.
He clenched his fist, his face red, and couldn’t help but shout out “King of the Purging Rebellion, Mighty.
When this was said, the courtiers in the imperial hall could not help but clench their fists as well.
“Prince Xu, truly the son of the Heavenly God, to actually have such a terrifying killing weapon, I had thought that this war would need to last at least half a year.”
“Unexpectedly, the Prince Xu has defeated the enemy with one move, terrifying, terrifying.”
“God bless Great Wei, God bless Great Wei, God bless Great Wei.”
“After this battle, there will be no more barbarians in the world.”
“Hahahahaha, congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty.”
“Your Majesty, what is the name of this killing weapon? Why is it so terrifyingly powerful?”
The courtiers, who could not help but exclaim in amazement, praised Xu Qingnian’s extraordinary power.
At the same time, they were also filled with curiosity and wondered what this object was.
On the dragon chair.
The Empress could not help but take a deep breath, she knew Xu Qingnian had absolute confidence, but what she had not expected was that Xu Qingnian was so terrifying.
A single move had wiped out 700,000 barbarians’ army.
This was beyond her imagination.
It gave her a feeling of unreality for a while.
Now that she heard the courtiers’ words, Ji Ling also could not help but take a deep breath and said.
“This is my Great Wei Divine Martial Cannon, built for Xu Aiqing, a divine weapon for my Great Wei to protect the country.”
“Pass on my decree, the King of Great Wei to pacify the chaos, and add the title of Protector of the State, and hold the military power of the three battalions.”
The empress spoke up, there was no way she wouldn’t give a reward to Great Wei for winning the war.
Xu Qingnian was already the king who had pacified the rebellion, a royal title, in terms of status, it was better than the Duke of State, but in terms of title, it was inferior to the Duke of State, unless Xu Qingnian was a member of the imperial family, otherwise, a king with a different surname would certainly be no match for the Duke of the dynasty.
Of course, this kind of thing is also a matter of benevolence and wisdom, even if Xu Qingnian is not given the title of king or the title of state duke, no one in the whole of Great Wei would dare to say that the status is higher than Xu Qingnian.
The significance of the additional title is that it represents the importance the empress attaches to Xu Qingnian.
Duke of State Protection, King of Peace.
To be both a king and a state duke, there is really no such thing in ancient and modern times.
Even if the emperor favoured one more person, the entire court would not agree to it, especially the Ministry of Rites would be the first to suggest that it was not in line with the rules.
But now, the Minister of Rites, Wang Xinzhi, seemed very calm.
Even, he did not think that the empress had done wrong.
A man who had wiped out the greatest problem in the heart of the Great Wei, such a feat, it was not enough to be crowned a one-word parallel king.
“Your Majesty, this Divine Martial Cannon, how many times can it be used?”
The Minister of Works, Li Yanlong, could not help but ask. Compared to the joy of the rest of the people who were very excited, Li Yanlong was more interested in learning about the capabilities of this Divine Martial Cannon.
He was the Minister of Works and was naturally extraordinarily interested in such things as engineering weapons.
“This matter, wait until Aiqing Xu returns, then I will talk to all of you in detail.”
The Empress said in a slow voice.
It was not because she was afraid that there would be ears on the other side of the wall, but mainly because she did not know either.
Hearing the Empress speak like this, the ministers had nothing more to say.
Only, abruptly, Gu Yan’s voice suddenly rang out.
“I understand.”
“The old man finally understands.”
Gu Yan suddenly spoke, causing the crowd to be somewhat curious, wondering what he had understood.
Soon, Gu Yan’s voice rang out.
“Didn’t the five plans formulated by Prince Xu earlier lack close to two million taels of silver?”
“Prince Xu is confident, but I have thought about it for a long time, not because I don’t trust Prince Xu, but two million taels of silver, what kind of a sum is this, I believe you all should be clear.”
“In just a few months’ time, how could Prince Xu have raised two million taels of silver?
Gu Yan spoke, he finally understood why Xu Qingnian dared to say that.
It turned out that the barbarians had been locked up for a long time.
Once these words were spoken, the courtroom was silent.
The crowd quieted down.
Because when they thought about it, it was really true.
This was somewhat terrifying.
In other words, the barbarians had long been in Xu Qingnian’s pocket.
The courtiers were speechless, and their shock at Xu Qingnian had been raised to another level.
And compared to the shock of the larger Wei.
It was the shock of the Primordial Yuan Dynasty that was the most dumbfounding.
“No, no, this can’t be, this is absolutely impossible.”
“It’s impossible for Greater Wei to possess a First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon.”
“The First Grade Cannon, only exists in theory, we have been secretly refining it for close to ten years, but we have only been able to refine the Third Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon.”
The Minister of Works of the Primordial Yuan Dynasty spoke up, and he looked like a maniac as he pointed at the image in the mirror, looking extraordinarily shocked.
In his eyes, there was both horror and disbelief.
In his opinion, no one knew more about the Heavenly Thunder Cannon than they did.
To be honest, if the enemy he faced was not the Great Wei, in his opinion, why would he need a third-grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon? A fourth-grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon would have been able to take care of an ancient city.
Something like a cannon, although it was of the fourth grade, would definitely explode out with more power than a fourth grade martial artist.
The reason for this was simple, the power of a fourth grade was individual, while the power of a cannon was ranged.
But what was unexpected was that Great Wei actually had a First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon.
This was simply incredible.
“This isn’t a First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon, definitely not.”
Suddenly, someone spoke out, pointing at this object and saying so.
This was the Minister of Works, and he looked firm as he said so.
The moment he said this, the court was shocked, and everyone’s eyes fell on him, even the Primordial Emperor, who could not help but look at the other party.
This was not a First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon, what was this?
To be honest, after the moment the Divine Martial Cannon blasted away, the Primordial Yuan Emperor was also shocked.
The killing power of this was too terrifying.
He had thought at the first moment about what would happen if it was his own army that faced this cannon.
He thought about this question, but it was a question he dared not continue to think about.
The barbarians’ 700,000-strong army, even if the Primordial Yuan Dynasty encountered it, would have to expend a lot of troops; being dragged down was not so much.
But don’t think too well either.
Naturally, if the Primordial Yuan army were to face this divine Martial Cannon, its fate would only be one of death.
Now that he heard the other party say that this was not a First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon, he was naturally curious.
“Your Majesty.”
“My lords, it’s not that I have a tough mouth, but the power of the First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon is definitely not this strong.”
“From the magic weapon, we can watch that this Heavenly Thunder Cannon, with one shot, pushed down close to three hundred miles.”
“What kind of concept is this? The Heavenly Thunder Cannon that we have refined, with a third-grade power, can level several miles, with a second-grade power, up to thirty miles, and even with a first-grade power, a hundred miles is at the limit.”
“Thrusting three hundred miles across, it is impossible.”
“It defies common sense, I suspect that the cannon is a fake, and that there is actually a First Grade strike.”
“And even if there really was a First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon, it could only be released once at most, and more than once, it must be a First Grade strike.”
He spoke out, deducing that it was not a First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon, but a First Grade martial artist who was secretly striking out.
When this was said, it instantly drew the crowd’s astonishment.
Because when they thought about it carefully, it was really a possibility.
“That’s right, there must be a First Grade out there.”
“There is no way that Great Wei could have been the first to research the First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon before us.”
“Even if we knew about the Heavenly Lightning Cannon, how would Great Wei solve the materials in it?”
“Even if Great Wei were to produce a second-rate Heavenly Thunder Cannon, I wouldn’t believe it, there is a hundred thousand miles difference between a third-rate and a second-rate, and the difficulty involved is even more terrifying.”
“Your Majesty, this must be Great Wei’s blindfold.
The courtiers are beginning to shout.
It’s not that they despise people, but what Great Wei has brought out is too far ahead of its time.
It’s like, in a primitive society, when tribes were still grouped together and the competition for land was to divide the hunting areas, you suddenly come up with cannons.
Who would believe it?
Indeed, the courtiers’ comments made even the Primordial Yuan Emperor puzzled.
In the end, the Primordial Emperor took a deep breath, he did not blindly trust these courtiers, not that he was suspicious, but he could not afford to play ah.
He must have hoped that Great Wei had used a first-rate martial artist behind his back, and that this was just a blindfold.
But what if it wasn’t?
There is one thing to say, with such a divine weapon, who can stand up to it?
If the Primordial Yuan Dynasty sent five million troops over, according to the power of this divine weapon, it could almost wipe out all of them at once.
Who would be able to withstand it?
Who can afford to gamble?
“Pass on my order to prepare a secret letter to Sudden Evil to discuss future matters.”
“Thoroughly investigate the authenticity of the First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon.”
“Send troops to the barbarians to deal with their seizure of resources, and if the barbarians honestly agree, reinforcements can be given.”
“Also, send a letter to the Great Wei to mediate the war, so that peace talks can be made.”
The Primordial Emperor spoke.
After recovering his mood, he gave the first holy decree.
One, to discuss with Sudden Evil about what to do next.
Secondly, to find out whether this Heavenly Thunder Cannon was real or not, he would prefer it to be fake, not just him everyone hoped it was fake.
Thirdly, to go to the barbarians to get back their resources, and by the way, he could give some assistance, after all, a first-rate Heavenly Thunder Cannon could only be released once, and the second time needed to wait for a long time.
Before giving so many resources to the barbarians, it was because the barbarians had a fighting chance, now that the barbarians have lost like this, what else is there to do with resources or not?
Get lost and hurry up and ask for everything back.
Even the resources of the barbarians’ homeland should be taken back as part of the compensation for these years.
Finally, it was time to seek peace with Great Wei.
The barbarians could not be exterminated, otherwise, some other problems would have to occur between the three kingdoms.
This was something that neither the Sudden Evil Dynasty nor the Primordial Yuan Dynasty wanted to see.
Even Great Wei did not want to see this either.
With the Great Emperor Chu Yuan giving his decree.
The Sudden Evil Dynasty.
The same way, the same theory, but the Sudden Evil Dynasty did not feel that Great Wei could not refine a First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon.
After all, they did not know how difficult the First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon was, but they did not believe that the power of the Heavenly Thunder Cannon would be so terrifying.
They believed that the First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon was not false, but there must be a First Grade martial artist behind it.
Otherwise, pushing across 300 miles, this was too outrageous and simply impossible.
Even if a First Grade martial artist did his best, it would be difficult to achieve the miracle of pushing 300 miles across.
However, the Sudden Evil Dynasty and the Primordial Yuan Dynasty had the same idea, and communicated with the Primordial Yuan Dynasty at the first opportunity to thoroughly investigate whether the Heavenly Thunder Cannon was real or not, and to snatch back the resources, in addition to mediating the war.
The two dynasties reacted as quickly as they could, shocked as they were, they knew exactly what they had to do at the moment.
But no matter how fast they reacted, there was no hiding the shock in their hearts.
But for the two great dynasties, they were shocked, and there was a sense of oppression and crisis.
But for one part of the population, the appearance of the Divine Martial Cannon created a great sense of oppression for them.
A mountain range.
A voice resounded.
“Start planning ahead, we can’t delay any longer.”
Great Wei.
Seven Star Daoist Sect.
Daoist Qingjing watched all of this, and when the Divine Martial Cannon pushed across three hundred miles, he was shocked beyond belief.
Then he spoke.
“Seven Star Daoist Clan, evacuate Great Wei.”
These were the words of Daoist Qingjing.
Without any nonsense, he gave this order directly.
Earlier, Xu Qingnian had said that the Heaven and Earth Wen Palace and the Seven Star Daoist Sect left Great Wei, only that although the order had been given, they had been delaying it on the pretext that they needed to prepare.
Leaving Great Wei, they were naturally unwilling to do so.
Within Great Wei, they could share in the country’s fortunes, so how could they possibly be willing to leave Great Wei?
Moreover, they also knew about the impending invasion of the barbarians, so they deliberately delayed.
Now that the barbarians had been destroyed outright by Great Wei, what qualifications did they have to stay in Great Wei?
Are they really not afraid of death?
The Heaven and Earth Palace of Literature.
Wang Chaoyang looked at all this, his eyes filled with bitterness and resignation.
He had prepared himself for all sorts of things, once Xu Qingnian was delayed by the barbarian war, he would definitely stir up the storm in Great Wei.
But what he did not expect was that Xu Qingnian would have taken care of the unbeatable barbarians in one night.
This exceeded everyone’s expectations.
At that moment, Wang Chaoyang burned an incense stick and followed up by waiting in silence.
As the figure appeared.
Wang Chaoyang immediately became respectful.
“Your Holiness.”
“Xu Qingnian broke the enemy with one move, what should I do? Should I leave Great Wei?”
Wang Chaoyang opened his mouth, and he was clearly a little intimidated.
After all, his plans had been completely disrupted, and there was really no way for him to remain calm.
However, the voice of the Void Shadow caused Wang Chaoyang to freeze.
“There is no need to leave, a heavenly opportunity is about to come, prepare here and steal the key creation opportunity.”
“Xu Qingnian is just a dowry for you.”
The voice rang out, causing Wang Chaoyang to freeze.
A heavenly chance?
Xu Qingnian was doing the dowry for himself?
He was somewhat unconvinced, but hearing the tone of these words, even though he didn’t believe them, he somehow believed them.
“Good, respectfully obey the decree.”
“But dare I ask your Holiness, what is the creation?”
Wang Chaoyang’s somewhat fearful heart suddenly calmed down.
There was a look of anticipation among his eyes.
The latter glanced at Wang Chaoyang, and then slowly spoke out.
“The Midcontinent Qi.”
He said so, causing Wang Chaoyang to become even more excited.
Soon, the virtual shadow disappeared and within the secret room of the Heaven and Earth Cultural Palace.
Wang Chaoyang looked incomparably excited as he looked forward to the future.
But some people were happy and some were sad.
Xu Qingnian’s shot had sent the world into a frenzy.
For most people, they were shocked.
But for the barbarians.
It was not just shock, but mainly numbness and despair.
The barbarian royal family.
In the middle of the royal palace.
The barbarian king sat on the dragon chair, his face white.
It was a ghastly white.
The entire barbarian tribe, all the civil and military officials, were dumbfounded.
The imperial sons, even more so, stood in a daze in the main hall.
Seven hundred thousand barbarians.
Seven hundred thousand barbarians.
They were destroyed like this?
At this moment, the barbarian king didn’t know what to say.
All his ambitions, all his thoughts, had all vanished at this moment.
What about invading Wei or not invading Wei.
This is a fool’s dream.
Right now, it was lucky not to have the country destroyed.
“This can’t be.”
“Why does Great Wei have a First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon?”
A courtier came back to his senses and let out a roar.
He couldn’t believe it all and asked aloud.
This voice brought everyone back to their senses.
The crowd looked at me and I looked at you, they didn’t want to admit the horror of Great Wei either, yet the facts proved everything.
“Your Majesty, the defeat has been decided, no matter what the reason is, let’s preserve the fire first, I am afraid that Great Wei will destroy our barbarian kingdom.”
At this moment, the State Master of the Barbarian Kingdom spoke up, the first thing he did when he woke up from this scene was not to rage and curse here, but to seek a way of life for the Barbarian Kingdom.
“Please speak, State Master.”
The barbarian king opened his mouth and asked the state master.
The latter paused and spoke immediately afterwards.
“Your Majesty.”
“Now that my barbarian kingdom’s 700,000-strong army has been destroyed, if the Great Wei generals invade my barbarian kingdom, it will be a disaster of life and soul.”
“The barbarian kingdom will also cease to exist, and the only 300,000 troops left will not be able to resist the Great Wei, even if we go to gather the rest of our army now, adding them up piecemeal, it will only add another 300,000 men.”
“But the matter of defence we still have to do, immediately gather 300,000 troops to hold outside the gates of the country, I believe that this First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon can only be released once, otherwise it would be too counterintuitive.”
“We should defend, we still have to defend, three hundred thousand troops, in addition to the battle of defending the city, can still hold out for a period of time, at the same time, then gather all kinds of troops, can effectively prevent the Great Wei iron cavalry, trampling down my barbarian country.”
“And what Your Majesty needs to do right now is to ask for peace, the barbarian king you personally ask for peace, put all the blame on others and ask Great Wei to accept surrender.”
“The amount of compensation is not a problem, as long as we can survive.”
“And after that, immediately contact the Primordial Yuan Dynasty and the Sudden Evil Dynasty and have them step in to mediate this battle.”
“And then have important people from my barbarian clan immediately rush to the Sudden Evil as well as the Primordial Yuan Dynasty, in case Great Wei does not do anything, then my barbarian kingdom will be completely destroyed.”
The State Master spoke up, explaining the current plight of the Barbarian Kingdom and what the Barbarian Kingdom needed to do.
Of course, he also believed that Xu Qingnian’s Divine Martial Cannon could only fire one shot.
When this was said, the barbarian king was somewhat silent.
He was really unwilling to let the Barbarian Kingdom surrender.
The rest of the courtiers were also somewhat unconvinced.
But the State Master’s voice rang out again.
“Your Majesty.”
“The matter has come to this, don’t bother dwelling on the past.”
“Make a decision quickly Your Majesty, or there will be no decision left to make.”
The State Master spoke up, urging the barbarian king.
He knew that the barbarian king was somewhat reluctant, after all, no one else would be reluctant.
Seven hundred thousand troops, said to be gone, even if they were to be killed as pigs, they would have to be killed for half a month, right?
It was reasonable to accept it for a while.
If we didn’t make a decision quickly, the barbarian kingdom would be completely lost.
“Fine, pass on my decree, General Tulu colluded with the Fifth Prince, stole the jade seal and military talisman, and invaded Great Wei on his own, the gods are outraged, today they are both to be killed, so all those involved, all nine clans will be exterminated, only hope to seek peace with Great Wei.”
The barbarian king spoke reluctantly.
After saying this, he could not help but spit out blood, one is angry, two is also hard to feel ah.
The 700,000-strong army was the barbarian tribe’s hope to rise, and now that hope was completely gone, how could it not make him feel bad?
He spat out his blood.
The courtiers did not know what to say, and some of them even sat down on their asses, their faces incomparably pale.
They knew that they were going to be the scapegoats.
Soon afterwards, the State Councilor drew up the decree and could not wait to send it to the Great Wei, not wasting a single second.
But soon, unfortunate news arrived.
The First Yuan Dynasty and the Sudden Evil Dynasty were the first to send corresponding letters, accusing the barbarians of robbing the two dynasties of their resources and demanding that the barbarians pay them back immediately, or else they would not be forgiven.
The letters from the two dynasties were the first to be delivered.
When the news came, the barbarians were furious, especially the barbarian king, who was furious to the point of fury.
At this critical moment, the barbarians had paid such a huge price, but instead of lending a helping hand, the Primordial Yuan Dynasty and the Sudden Evil Dynasty had fallen on their sword.
However, the barbarians did not dare to offend these two dynasties, and if they did, it would be even more troublesome.
However, the barbarians did not send them back at first, but waited for the surrender of the Great Wei.
The resources given by the Primordial Yuan Dynasty and the Sudden Evil Dynasty could be used as bargaining chips, if they were sent straight away, then the barbarians would be gone.
And at this moment.
The Heavenly Wolf Mountain Range.
The three hundred miles of scorched earth was mind-blowing.
Only when you actually see it here will you understand how terrifying this thing is.
The Great Wei generals had also finally come back to their senses, their eyes already glowing red and streaming with tears, but the problem was not too big and they could barely open them.
Looking at the scorched earth before them, they were so shocked that they could not utter a single word.
On the contrary, look at the battlefield.
There were only a few people left in total.
Apart from a few second-rate people they didn’t know, the rest were the barbarian fifth prince and the great general Tulu.
Both of them had foreign treasures on their bodies that could protect them, and under such a terrifying impact, they did not die, but they were already crippled even if they did not.
The internal organs of both of them were basically shattered, and even if they were released back, they would definitely die within three days.
Poof.
Great General Tulu spat out a mouthful of blood, he was grey, his hair was gone and he was covered in black.
Looking at Xu Qingnian in the distance.
His entire body was dumbfounded.
Looking around again, the 700,000 strong army was completely dead.
Despair.
Despair.
Unspeakable despair.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn’t know what to say.
Seven hundred thousand troops, dead in their own hands.
I thought it would be a great battle and that I would win an absolute victory.
But what he did not expect was that he had become a joke.
In this battle, Xu Qingnian was sealed as a god, while he himself would become the laughing stock of the ages.
“The barbarian kingdom is dead.”
Great General Tulu roared out as he looked at Xu Qingnian and killed himself on the spot, shattering his heart chakra.
And the Fifth Prince looked at all this with despair in his eyes.
Who would have thought it would end like this?
But compared to Grand General Tulu’s verve, he couldn’t do it.
“Xu Qingnian, I am the fifth prince of the Barbarian Kingdom, if you don’t kill me, you can let my father give you resources.”
“The Barbarian Kingdom will agree to this, and so will my father.”
The Fifth Prince opened his mouth, and between his words, he even spat out several mouthfuls of blood, his body could no longer carry him, and living was worse than dying.
But he still wanted to live.
Just a pity.
Bang.
Xu Qingnian raised his hand, and the spear evolved from the Extreme Martial Demon Subduing Force directly killed him.
And at the same time, the other two Second Grade martial artists, who were heavily wounded, their first thought was to run.
“Want to run?”
“Dream on.”
Xu Qingnian didn’t hesitate and directly chased after them, and the Extreme Martial Hand Seal suppressed them, slapping the two directly onto the ground, sinking deep into the mud.
“Your Majesty, don’t kill us, we can tell you everything we know.”
The two men were the first to beg for mercy.
They hoped that Xu Qingnian would spare them.
They were second rank, martial supremacy, and wanted to survive even more.
Bang Bang.
Only, Xu Qingnian didn’t bother with any nagging, the spear pierced through their hearts, killing them instantly.
At this level, it did seem very strong to normal people, but Xu Qingnian knew who his enemy was.
Not to mention the Second Grade of Martial Dao, even the First Grade of Martial Dao probably did not know what the secret behind it was.
They were merely trying to deceive themselves.
It was somewhat ridiculous.
After putting the two to death.
Xu Qingnian turned his back on the million strong army and said with an icy expression.
“Pass on this king’s order, all the troops will attack and stamp out the barbarians.”
“After this battle, there will be no more barbarians in the world.”
Xu Qingnian spoke, he did not have any nonsense.
The barbarians’ main army had been completely annihilated by himself, so naturally, it was only natural to sprint straight ahead and stamp out the barbarians.
It was only when these words were spoken that all the generals could not help but stare.
They could hear what Xu Qingnian meant.
If they flattened the barbarians, there would be no more barbarians in the world after that?
This meaning, they could not possibly not know, Xu Qingnian was no longer content with winning this great battle.
He wanted to completely exterminate Satisfaction.
Once and for all.
When these words were spoken, all the generals’ blood boiled completely, and they were so excited that they held their spears in their hands, and the discomfort they felt before was gone at this moment.
“We will listen to the order.”
The generals gave their response almost at once, and then the million strong army marched out, led by the princes and lords.
They headed straight for the barbarians’ lair.
Boom boom boom.
Boom, boom, boom.
The visual effect of a million armies setting off in unison was extremely terrifying.
They ran towards the barbarians’ camp.
For a moment, the earth shook and the mountains shook.
Seven hundred thousand troops, all dead in one sight, gave the Great Wei generals great confidence.
The people rushed forward.
The Great Wei border was less than a hundred miles from the barbarians.
It took less than two quarters of an hour to cross what was already their own territory, a hundred miles.
Thousands of soldiers and horses galloped on.
Xu Qingnian also ran to the battlefield at the first opportunity.
And at the same time.
The capital of Great Wei.
One after another, a voice rang out.
“Report!”
“Your Majesty, the barbarians are begging for peace.”
“Report!”
“A secret letter from the Sudden Evil Dynasty.”
“Report!”
“A secret letter from the Primordial Yuan Dynasty.”
“Report!”
“The Eastern Continent Imperial Clan has sent a secret letter.”
One after another, voices rang out in the great hall.
In the middle of the imperial hall, the empress received these secret letters.
She opened them one by one, and then read them quickly.
After a while, the empress’ could not help but hand the secret letters to the ministers.
“The barbarians are asking for peace, and the Sudden Evil and Primordial Yuan have also come to join in the fun, and the Eastern Continent Imperial Clan has followed suit.”
“Dear ministers, the barbarians are asking for peace, yes or no?”
The empress spoke up, she looked at the crowd and asked so.
When this was said, all the ministers looked at me and me at you, and then they could not help but discuss.
“Your Majesty, I think that I can accept the surrender and continue the fight, the two dynasties, Chu Yuan and Sudden Evil, may intervene, this battle has been won by Great Wei and it has got what it deserves.”
“The people’s national fortunes will all receive a huge boost, right now we can make peace talks and claim all kinds of resources.”
The first person willing to accept the peace talks was Chen Zhengru.
He looked at the matter from the perspective of the Prime Minister of Great Wei, and peace talks would be the best outcome.
After all, there was no need to continue fighting.
There was little point in doing so, rather than accepting the barbarians’ peace talks and claiming countless resources.
Land, iron ore, grain, silver, all these things could be demanded.
For the barbarians now, draining their blood, they could only grit their teeth and endure.
This was a second strike, and from then on, it would be basically impossible for the barbarians to rise.
But soon, the voice of the Duke of An rang out, vetoing the peace talks.
“Your Majesty, I believe that the peace talks should be rejected, the barbarians have invaded our Great Wei and massacred our people, this is a blood feud, and the barbarians have repeatedly invaded our borders over the years.”
“Coupled with the disaster of Jingcheng shame, between the two countries, there are irreconcilable conflicts, this time, it is entirely possible to take advantage of the victory and crush the barbarians completely.”
“Otherwise, who knows what will happen in the future?”
“To put it bluntly, with the two dynasties of Sudden Evil and Primordial Yuan in place, in ten or thirty years’ time, the barbarians will only be able to rise again.”
“It’s really hard to say when that time comes.”
“Besides, if we destroy the barbarians, won’t all the resources be ours in Great Wei?”
The Duke of An was a military general, he naturally did not accept the peace talks, right now he had a great advantage, so what was the point of peace talks?
The only reason for peace talks is that everyone doesn’t want to continue to lose, and that’s why they make peace.
If you have such a big advantage, the hell with you peace talks.
However, once he said this, Chen Zhengru could not help but continue to speak.
“Your Excellency is wrong, it is because there are two major dynasties in place that peace talks are accepted.”
“To fight a war, I am not as good as you, but in this matter of state, the Duke of State is not as good as I am.”
“At the critical moment, point to point, get the resources and become the biggest winner.”
“Otherwise, if the two great dynasties join in, there will be trouble.”
Chen Zhengru spoke out.
He also knew that Great Wei had a big advantage, but it wasn’t a matter of advantage or not.
Rather, if things continued like this, things would be even more troublesome, and it would be somewhat less good to involve the other two major dynasties into the mix.
The two men were arguing.
But just then.
Zhang Jing’s voice rang out.
“Gentlemen, why don’t we listen to what Prince Xu has to say?”
Zhang Jing spoke.
At that moment, the courtroom quieted down.
Indeed, they had forgotten about Xu Qingnian.
Right now, Xu Qingnian had the most say in whether to accept or not to accept the peace talks.
When this was said, even the empress could not help but nod her head.
But at that very moment.
Suddenly, a heavenly decree coalesced in the Empress’ hand.
This was the heavenly decree sent by Xu Qingnian.
It really came as soon as it was said.
Receiving the Heavenly Decree.
The empress slowly unfolded it.
The court waited, curious as to what Xu Qingnian meant.
Soon, the empress revealed a touch of helplessness and looked at the ministers and said.
“There is no need to argue.”
“No peace talks will be accepted.”
The empress spoke out, saying so.
When this was said, the crowd could not help but be curious.
“Your Majesty, what does this mean?”
“Does Prince Xu advocate not accepting the peace talks?”
“Sure enough, not wrong about Shouren, that’s it.”
In the courtroom, all five of the six ministers, except for the Ministry of War, were certainly in favour of the peace talks.
But all the military generals were not in favour of the peace talks.
Naturally, they were concerned about Xu Qingnian’s attitude.
After all, Xu Qingnian could decide whether to negotiate or not.
“The matter that you all argued about earlier, Xu Aiqing has already fought to the barbarian capital.”
“Aiqing Xu wants to stamp out the barbarians.”
“To eradicate, once and for all, the scourge of Great Wei.”
The empress spoke, and she said slowly.
In an instant, the courtroom instantly became incomparably quiet.
Good guys.
Everyone was still torn about whether or not to accept the peace talks, and Xu Qingnian had even fought at the doorstep of someone else’s country?
What the hell is the point of this?
And at the same time.
Outside the barbarian capital, the Great Wei generals had come to kill.
But instead of standing together, they were scattered in two lines, leaving a huge spot in the middle.
It was to save space for the Divine Martial Cannon.
Siege battles were hard to fight, even with millions of troops rushing to kill, and even if the siege was won, it would still be extremely costly.
With the Divine Martial Artillery, who would still be foolish enough to attack a city?
“Your Highness Xu.”
“The barbarian king has surrendered to Great Wei, I still hope that Your Majesty Xu will not take offence, there is a misunderstanding in this matter.”
“You must be calm.”
“The gates of the barbarian kingdom are strong and thick, we know that your Heavenly Thunder Cannon, can only be released once, there is no need for that, we can take our time and make peace.”
“Your Majesty, you must be calm.”
The barbarian’s prime minister appeared, and he stood on the state gate city and shouted.
They prayed for Xu Qingnian to calm down.
At the same time, they were also a little scared, after all, the State Master deduced that the First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon could only be released once.
But who knew if it was true or not.
If it was false, then he would be finished.
And what was even more unpleasant was this.
It was clearly an invasion war, but it turned out to be a defence war, which was too stifling.
“Open the gates of the country, but do not kill the barbarians.”
The next moment.
Marquis Lin Yang’s voice rang out as he passed on Xu Qingnian’s meaning.
Let the other side open the gates of the country.
The people may not be killed.
At these words, the barbarian chancellor breathed a long sigh of relief.
Listening to the meaning of the words, the State Master was right in his guess.
After all, if the Heavenly Thunder cannon could be blasted twice, would there be any need for rambling?
It wasn’t just the Barbaric Prime Minister.
Everyone in the barbarian kingdom’s palace was relieved.
There were still 300,000 iron hors*men in the country, plus the barbarians had been strengthening their gates over the years, so it would still be somewhat difficult to break through the barbarians’ gates.
It was possible to buy at least a month’s time, and within this month’s time, the Primordial Yuan Dynasty and the Sudden Evil Dynasty, too, would certainly not see their deaths unavenged.
The barbarian kingdom.
Survived.
“Pass on my decree to send Xu Qingnian back, and the king will send a minister to Great Wei to meet with the Great Wei emperor for peace talks.”
“At the same time, inform Xu Qingnian that the barbarians know that they are wrong.”
“If Xu Qingnian does not agree, be ready to prepare for war at any time.”
The barbarian king conveyed his orders.
Now that he could buy time, he was completely relieved, but not too badly, instead thinking about how to make peace with Great Wei.
He believed that Great Wei was willing to accept peace talks.
Otherwise, the barbarians’ 300,000-strong army would still have no problem defending the city, and one by one, they would gather another last 300,000 troops, plus the two dynasties would give assistance.
The barbarians were not really afraid of Wei.
But this was only the most fortunate of misfortunes.
However, when the barbarian king’s words were spoken.
It was quickly responded to.
“Within a quarter of an hour, without opening the gates of the country, trample down the barbarians.”
These were Xu Qingnian’s exact words.
Once this was said, the barbarian king’s face instantly turned ugly.
He had already held his anger in his stomach, and now that he had taken the initiative to seek peace, Xu Qingnian had unexpectedly stomped on his nose, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
But uncomfortable as it was, he knew that he could not anger Xu Qingnian.
He could only give a new response.
He told Xu Qingnian not to be angry, and at the same time told Xu Qingnian that there were still 600,000 troops in the barbarian state, and if he held on tenaciously, it would not be a good thing for Great Wei.
This was not really a threat, but only a warning.
He had already lowered his voice and begged for peace, so don’t get ahead of yourself.
After the message was conveyed.
The Great Wei generals did go quiet.
It gave the barbarians a moment of peace.
But just as the barbarian king was preparing to respond to the matter of peace talks.
Suddenly.
A terrifying sound of thunder rang out.
A boom.
The sound was so deafening that it made heaven and earth change colour.
Two hundred miles beyond the barbarian nation’s gates.
A blazing and incomparable light destroyed the heavens and the earth.
The long gates of the country, at this moment, were also instantly reduced to nothing.
The second cannon.
The barbarian nation’s gates were blasted open.
Once again, it set the world abuzz.
The barbarian king inside the imperial palace sensed the breathless aura.
All the courtiers in the court, including the State Master, turned completely pale.
The Heavenly Thunder Cannon, when it could really release a second cannon?
This ……. It was unbelievable.
The three kingdoms, the powers of the world, were completely and utterly dumbfounded.
They knew that Xu Qingnian was fierce.
But they really did not expect that Xu Qingnian would not even give the barbarians the chance to seek peace.
This was a determined attempt to exterminate the barbarians.
“Send a message to the Empress of Great Wei, requesting that Great Wei stop the war.”
“assemble a large army and exert pressure on Great Wei.”
“Send someone to the battlefield to negotiate with Xu Qingnian to stop the war.”
Emperor Chuyuan spoke out, his face hardened.
The barbarians could not die, this was the most important pawn to hold Great Wei at bay.
Likewise, the Emperor of Sudden Evil also, at the first opportunity, gave pretty much the same order.
But on the battlefield.
Xu Qingnian’s voice, too, rang out.
“Pass on this king’s military order.”
“Exterminate the barbarians.”
“Kill!”
