Xingyu Empire, East Hall of the Imperial Palace.

Inside the hall, a young man wearing a golden dragon robe and an imperial crown sat in the main seat.

"You just said that the Thunder Tiger Army was defeated?"

The young man had an angry look on his face and looked at several officials present with cold eyes.

This question immediately made those officials even more frightened and they dared not look the man in dragon robe in the eye.

Because this person is the new emperor of the Xingyu Empire.

The former Crown Prince, Wang Pan.

Relying on various iron-blooded means, he successfully seized the throne and created the most cruel event in the history of the empire.

All the princes were killed by him, completely consolidating his position as emperor.

And because of this, he was given a nickname in the outside world, Star Rain Tyrant!

"Your Majesty, just last night, three generals of the Thunder Tiger Army were assassinated."

A middle-aged fat man with a mustache said timidly: "Our military camp was also attacked by the enemy at night at the same time, and suffered heavy casualties."

This fat old man was none other than the Prime Minister, Sun Geng.

The last envoy sent to the Territory of Chaos, Sun Jing, was his son.

Upon learning of the death, Prime Minister Sun was filled with grief and indignation, and wished he could lead the army himself and raze the chaotic territory to the ground!

"An assassin?"

Wang Pan narrowed his eyes slightly, a sharp light flashed in his black eyes, and said in a cold voice: "It seems that the mysterious lord is indeed not a simple person."

"Have you investigated his background?"

Hearing Wang Pan's question, Prime Minister Sun hurriedly replied: "Not yet. That damned lord seems to be intentionally hiding his identity. There is no information about him. The only thing we know is his name, Lanling King."

At this point, he couldn't help but sneer, "A small lord dares to call himself a king. He is simply overestimating his own abilities."

Wang Pan looked at Prime Minister Sun with a cold gaze and said calmly, "Since you think he is overestimating his own abilities, then how about you lead the army this time?"

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Sun's expression changed slightly, and he immediately said awkwardly: "I am old, and I am afraid I am powerless."

Wang Pan's eyes darkened slightly, and he said in a cold voice: "Since you don't have the ability, stop talking nonsense! You should know that I will not keep a bunch of useless people around me."

"I understand, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Faced with Wang Pan's majesty, Prime Minister Sun's face suddenly turned pale. He knelt on the ground in fear and dared not say anything more.

Inside the hall, the other officials and ministers could only remain silent as they had not come up with a good strategy.

Wang Pan sat upright on the dragon throne, tapping the armrests lightly with his fingertips.

“Knock knock knock…”

The evenly paced knocking sounds were clear and loud in the quiet hall.

Everyone lowered their heads and dared not make a sound, for fear of interrupting Wang Pan's thoughts.

After a moment, Wang Pan stopped moving and the knocking sound also stopped abruptly.

"As the saying goes, give someone a taste of their own medicine."

Wang Pan's cold voice slowly sounded: "Since that lord likes to play dirty, I will let him have a taste of assassination."

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Sun immediately admired and said, "Your Majesty is wise. I will immediately ask my men to hire an assassin."

After saying this, he quickly got up and left.

He didn't want to stay too long in this kind of meeting where serving the emperor was like serving a tiger, otherwise he would say something wrong and only get himself into trouble.

…

At the same time, the Xingyu Empire began to mobilize its troops.

The Territory of Chaos did not relax at all.

At this time, in the back mountain outside the city.

Bai Lin, Luohan, Yang Wu and the other three, as well as Dayu and Kuangtie of the Kuang Clan, were all waiting here for Lin Hao's arrival.

The 'Master Chen' from Wanlong Pavilion also stood here.

whoosh!

After a while, a black shadow flew over from midair.

When it reached above everyone's heads, the black figure slowly descended.

"Welcome, Lord."

Bai Lin, Dayu and others immediately bowed in awe.

Lin Hao said calmly: "Don't waste time, let's get started."

Bai Lin nodded, reached out to touch the storage ring, and immediately a ray of light appeared, and he swung it violently towards the open space in front.

Then, the light faded away, and what appeared before everyone's eyes were huge monsters.

There are twenty in total.

In the sunlight, they all glow with a ferocious metallic luster.

These are the Lingyang Cannons that were forged a while ago.

However, their dark muzzles were nearly half a meter in diameter, the barrels were wide and thick, and the surface was covered with complex and mysterious runes that were faintly visible.

Lin Hao's eyes were fixed, and he looked at those Lingyang cannons with curiosity.

Compared with the design drawing, the entity undoubtedly looks more powerful and domineering.

"My Lord, the Lingyang Cannon is incredibly powerful. The energy of one shot requires the consumption of a thousand Lingyang Stones."

Bai Lin walked closer and reported.

Hearing this, Lin Hao was slightly surprised.

This consumption was even greater than he had imagined.

"The runes on the cannon don't seem to be the same. What do they do?"

As he watched, Lin Hao clearly discovered that the runes engraved on the Lingyang Cannon were different.

For example, the two Lingyang cannons in the front.

The first one is a scarlet rune, faintly emitting scorching energy fluctuations.

The second one is a light blue rune, filled with a cold and chilly aura.

"Each rune represents a different attribute of energy, and the attacks it launches will also be different."

At this time, Master Chen laughed and said, "Red is fire, blue is ice, purple is thunder..."

After listening to Master Chen's explanation, Lin Hao's eyes flashed.

I originally thought that the Lingyang Cannon was just a military weapon similar to the ones in my previous life.

But I didn't expect that there are so many diverse ways of attacking.

"I've seen a few shots fired."

Out of curiosity, Lin Hao gave the order.

"Okay, please wait a moment, lord."

Bai Lin personally took to the field and quickly walked to one of the Lingyang cannons.

Then he took out a box of Lingyang Stones and put them directly into the slot at the bottom of the cannon.

He immediately adjusted the direction of the muzzle and pulled the switch.

Buzz——!

Instantly, the runes on the cannon suddenly flashed a scarlet light, emitting an extremely hot energy wave.

boom!

Energy quickly gathered from the ferocious muzzle, and then there was an astonishing roar.

But then a huge flaming shell suddenly burst out from the muzzle and hit a small hill hundreds of meters away.

Bang!

A huge rock on the hill exploded into pieces in an instant as the flaming shells hit it.

For a moment, bright flames spread, forming a circle of flame halo like ripples, and suddenly swept towards the surroundings.

The surrounding trees, vines...any objects affected by the flame halo all caught fire instantly.

Seen from a distance, the area within a hundred meters was covered by flames, appearing charred black!

Seeing this, Lin Hao's eyes lit up.

This kind of power is comparable to the destructive range of a small missile!
