"Your Highness, the old general has been taken away by them. This humble servant crawled out from the pile of corpses to find you, hoping that you can save my old general. With his upright character, he would never collude with the First Prince. The outcome is predictable!"
Qin Yue Zhao stood up from the chair.
Crown Prince Qin Yueming!
They were half-siblings, yet he wanted to join forces with the northern barbarians to kill her.
It seems the situation in the capital is not optimistic either; we don't even know what's going on at her maternal grandfather's house.
The deputy generals were so angry that they gritted their teeth when they heard these words.
"Your Highness, I told you long ago that Qin Yueming, that beast, is not worthy of being a member of the royal family. In order to seize the throne, he did not hesitate to forge an imperial edict, and now he has even joined forces with the Northern Barbarian army. What is this if not treason?"
"Yes, Your Highness, we now have the help of the gods, what are we afraid of? Let's fight them! Win this battle, and we'll help you return to the capital and reclaim the throne!"
"Let's give it our all! Let's give it our all!"
"..."
The group of men fearlessly raised their hands, eager to rush out and fight right now.
Qin Yue Zhao gestured for everyone to quiet down before asking Chen Nuo, "Where is the Southern Family Army now? Have they joined forces with the Northern Barbarian Army?"
Shen Nuo nodded.
Just then, another spy rushed in from outside the door.
"Report—"
"The entire Northern Barbarian army has been mobilized and is currently assembling towards Liangcheng!"
Qin Yue Zhao's eyelids twitched.
How much further?
"Your Highness, it's less than ten li!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Tingye immediately sensed something was wrong: "Your Highness, the enemy will be at our gates in less than ten miles, and the divine explosives haven't even arrived yet. What should we do?"
Qin Yue Zhao was extremely anxious, but she calmed herself down, walked to the treasure basin, and wrote a note to Chu Xiao.
"May the gods be present? When will the explosives arrive? The enemy has begun their attack on the city and is only ten miles away from Liangcheng."
Almost simultaneously, a note fell out of the treasure bowl, which read:
"Is Princess Yue Zhao here? All the explosives are ready. I've also prepared even more powerful weapons for you. Get the site ready to receive the goods."
Qin Yuezhao immediately replied with a message:
"Thank you, gods! Yue Zhao has prepared the venue. Please bestow the divine artifact!"
She carried the treasure basin out of the study and placed it in the center of the general's mansion.
In an instant, countless explosive packages wrapped in kraft paper fell from the treasure basin.
Seeing this, Shen Nuo stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Your Highness, how did these things fall from the treasure basin? What are they?"
Huo Tingye excitedly ran to the explosive charge.
"Oh, Your Highness, these are all explosives, all clean and fresh, without any mold or misfires!"
"The power of those expired explosives was already great enough, and now the gods have given us even better explosives!"
Shen Nuo rushed to the explosive charge, looking at it and touching it, so shocked that she forgot the pain from the knife wound on her body.
Just then, a bunch of colorful fireworks and strange weapons fell out of the treasure bowl.
The soldiers who recognized him were overjoyed.
"Fireworks! I haven't even used the ones they sent last time, and they've sent these again. The gods are so kind!"
"No, it's different! This time they're sending... Skyrocket! What's a cannon? With such a catchy name, it must be much more powerful than fireworks, right?"
"And these weapons, which look like canes, are different from the ones sent last time; they're equipped with iron nails inside!"
Qin Yue Zhao took the weapon from the man's hand and picked up the note sent by the god.
"This is not a cane. The gods say it is a modified nail gun. By stuffing these iron nails in, it can shoot enemies from a distance. It is extremely powerful and can penetrate the enemy's bronze armor."
"Can it penetrate bronze armor?" Huo Tingye immediately picked up a nail gun and fired a shot at the dilapidated bronze armor in the corner.
"Bang!"
