The desolate western hills of Liangcheng.

The scene was stained with blood, corpses lay strewn everywhere, and agonizing screams echoed through the sky.

Just as the scene descended into chaos, a cold, sharp shout rang out from behind the crowd.

"kill!"

Qin Yue Zhao led the main force to the scene and was so angry at the sight of the horrific scene that she trembled with rage.

Chen Wan'er drew her sword and charged forward, piercing the chest of the nearest Northern Barbarian soldier with a single strike.

The blade gleamed, its cold light flashing.

The heavy, orderly steps of the hundreds of Huo family soldiers greatly surprised the Northern Barbarian army.

When the enemy commander saw the main force approaching, he tried to escape through the nearest alley in the chaos.

However, as soon as the talent left, Qin Yue Zhao leaped up and kicked him to the ground.

Qin Yue Zhao stepped on his back, reached into his pocket and pulled out a map of Liangcheng, grabbing his hair and asking, "Tell me, who gave you the map of Liangcheng?"

Liangcheng is a strategically important location that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Apart from the surrounding cliffs, there are only a few sections of mountain walls that are easy to excavate.

If someone in the city hadn't deliberately leaked the information, the Northern Barbarian army wouldn't have known so clearly.

Moreover, the fact that they were able to dig through the mountain wall was certainly not a task accomplished overnight. The fact that no patrolling army had discovered them for so many days suggests that there are spies in the city colluding with the northern barbarians.

"What other places in Liangcheng have you dug up?"

The enemy commander, despite being grabbed by the neck, showed no fear and even laughed maniacally.

"Hahaha, Princess Da Gan, you would never have imagined this! Liangcheng is now a sitting duck, just wait for my barbarian army to wipe it out!"

"court death!"

"Whoosh!"

With a swift motion, Qin Yue Zhao pierced the man's chest with her sword.

Since he's courting death, then so be it!

Turning to Huo Tingye, she roared, "Go investigate! Find out where else there are traces of grooving!"

"General Huo, who has the city defense map? And who is on duty today?"

Huo Tingye thought for a moment, then said angrily, "Today is the day the Prefect's guards are on duty! Damn it, these people are always lazy and negligent, I never thought they would dare to collude with the enemy!"

"Whether he is a traitor or not is still unknown. Summon Prefect Han Tianba to the General's Mansion and make sure he gives me a reasonable explanation!"

She led her men to clean up the mess on West Mountain, settled the dead and wounded soldiers, and returned to her room to report the news to the gods.

Unexpectedly, the message from the gods arrived first.

She quickly replied to Chu Xiao with a calligraphy brush:

"Thank you for your concern, God. The enemy attack on Xishan has been brought under control, but the city's defense map and the fact that we have grain have probably been leaked by the Prefect's office."

Chu Xiao was surprised.

"Are there other forces entrenched in the city?"

Qin Yue Zhao truthfully replied, "Reporting to the deity, in addition to the government office, Liangcheng also has a prefect, other wealthy and noble families, and guards."

Upon seeing this message, Chu Xiao's eyelids twitched.

None of these people managed to escape the city?

If that's the case, these people must have quite a few treasures on them, right?

Thinking it over, he immediately asked, "Since there are still so many people in the city, why don't you recruit soldiers?"

"The prefect's mansion has guards. You should persuade the prefect to hand over the management of all the guards in the mansion to you, and you can recruit them into the army."

"Then have the governor hand over all the valuables in his residence and give them to me, and I can give you weapons."

"This way you'll not only increase your troop strength, but also acquire more advanced weapons. What do you think?"

Upon receiving this message, Qin Yue Zhao stood up from the ground.

She had no idea that Chu Xiao was after her money.

Because at that time, money was like dirt to her.

But weapons are different, especially weapons used by gods!
