A massive heatwave shook the earth, and everyone was blown away by the gas.
Just as Qin Yue Zhao ordered someone to pull the rope to open the gas cylinder, and they were still discussing who should light the fuse, the ground shook violently, and a burst of flame shot into the sky from the cave.
It exploded.
The entire cave was blown up.
The heatwave shook the mountain, causing boulders to roll down from the summit and bury the entire cave.
Qin Yue Zhao instinctively protected Chen Wan'er, knocking her to the ground.
She was utterly shocked when she first saw the mountain collapse and felt the power of the gas cylinder explosion.
The others covered their heads, like frightened rabbits, staring wide-eyed at the cave.
On the other side of the mountain, deafening screams and wails echoed.
The northern barbarian soldiers who entered the cave were blown to pieces.
The enemy soldiers who did not enter the cave were overturned by the huge heat wave, and severed limbs and broken arms fell all over the ground. Blood stained the entire mountain red, and everywhere was a bright red.
The warhorses were startled and began to trample the people on the ground.
Mog was thrown several meters by his warhorse, coughing up a mouthful of blood. He pointed at the cave and cursed viciously, "What happened? What's going on up ahead?"
The soldiers at the front, covered in blood from the explosion, rushed forward.
"General, it's terrible! There's a fire dragon in the cave! All the soldiers who went in were blown to death, and the remaining two thousand soldiers were smashed by rocks and can't even stand up!"
Upon hearing this, Mogg trembled all over.
"Damn it, you worthless bastard! I knew there wasn't a single good person in Liangcheng!"
He originally thought that Liangcheng had water and food, so he could lead his troops to rush in and plunder it first, and then coordinate with the army outside the city to kill the Huo family army without leaving a single survivor.
Now look what happened; they didn't even manage to grab anything, and all 10,000 people they brought lost their money.
The strategist was blown apart and bleeding from the head, but he forced himself to get up despite the pain.
"General, we shouldn't have trusted these Han people so easily! Chen Kun is the governor of Liangcheng's man, he will definitely protect Liangcheng with all his might. He's luring us into the cave with his death, he's doing it on purpose!"
"No, that's really not true!" Chen Dadan immediately stood up when he heard the two say that.
Upon seeing them, Mog suddenly climbed out of the sandpit and slashed at Chen Dadan with his knife.
Hot blood splattered three feet high, staining his ferocious face red.
Chen Dadan's body collapsed with a thud, his eyes wide open in death.
The big, clumsy man was so frightened by this scene that his legs trembled and he fell to his knees.
"General, please calm down! General, please calm down! We have sincerely pledged allegiance to the Northern Barbarians. We don't know what's going on... It must be Qin Yue Zhao who used some kind of sorcery. Isn't she supposed to be able to communicate with the gods?"
Mogg paused.
Rumors circulated that Qin Yue Zhao was a goddess incarnate with the ability to unify nine kingdoms, a claim he had always scoffed at.
Adding to the fact that the world is suffering from a severe drought and all nine kingdoms have been living in dire straits for so long, yet Qin Yue Zhao has not made any move, and now these people are saying that Qin Yue Zhao can communicate with gods?
"Whoosh!"
With a flash of cold light, another head flew into the air and landed steadily in Wu Sanlang's arms.
Wu Sanlang screamed in terror at the sticky, warm sensation in his palm, but to save his life, he still managed a trembling voice as he cried out, "General! I have more... I can take you into other secret passages... uh—"
However, before he could finish speaking, Mogg slashed him with his knife.
Seeing all three lying in pools of blood, he gritted his teeth and cursed, "The people of Liangcheng are all bastards! Did they think I, the general, would fall for their tricks? Qin Yuezhao, I will avenge this day tenfold, a hundredfold!"
Upon hearing this, the strategist hurriedly advised, "General, we have suffered too many losses and should not move any further."
"Not going to move any further?" Mog kicked him. "Do you want me to slink back like this?"
The strategist was nearly kicked to the ground, clutching his stomach and crying out in pain, "General, General, please calm down! Although we have suffered losses, have you forgotten the purpose of our visit?"
