He knew that since Prince Zhao of Chengxiao had so openly revealed his intention to annex Miao territory, it must have been at the behest of Emperor Chengxiao.
Clearly, Emperor Chengxiao had long coveted the vast and mysterious land of Miao, attempting to incorporate it into his territory and make it a part of Chengxiao.
My arrival here was merely a coincidence, like a ripple in the torrent of history, causing the Emperor to postpone this ambitious plan for a century.
However, if I were to rashly and impulsively raise an army in rebellion after returning to Miao territory, then Miao territory would undoubtedly be walking into a trap.
They will most likely be crushed like ants in a very short time, falling into an irrecoverable state of destruction.
He was well aware that the difference in strength between Miao Jiang and Cheng Xiao was like an insurmountable chasm between them, making it extremely difficult to contend with each other.
In the past few days, accompanied by respectful and thorough officials from the Ministry of Rites, Panwei has been traveling around the capital.
Every scene he witnessed along the way was like a heavy alarm bell, relentlessly ringing in his heart.
The weapons gleaming with cold light in the hands of Chengxiao's soldiers seemed to have been meticulously forged by ghosts and gods.
The craftsmanship is exquisite, with every line embodying ingenious wisdom and craftsmanship, exuding a chilling sharpness.
Under the sunlight, the weapon reflected a light as dazzling as a sharp blade, as if silently proclaiming to the world its devastating power.
It was as if anything that stood in its way would be torn apart in an instant.
The shoulder armor worn by the soldiers was as thick and solid as the scales of an ancient behemoth, with a cold and hard metallic texture.
It was like a towering steel fortress, protecting them tightly within.
The patterns on the shoulder armor are delicate and complex, like ancient and mysterious runes, showcasing Chengxiao's long-standing and superb forging skills.
Each line seems to tell a story of a magnificent history.
In contrast, the weapons in Miao territory were rudimentary, and the quality of the swords and knives was extremely rough, not even as hard as the shoulder armor worn by Chengxiao's soldiers.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, how could such equipment possibly compete with Cheng Xiao's fierce and heavily armed army?
Are we really going to let those passionate young men of Miao territory use their vibrant and precious lives to resist the surging tide of Chengxiao's army?
His heart felt as if it were being pierced by a thousand steel needles, and he struggled in agony.
As the ruler of Miao territory, he bore the weight of the lives and future of countless people on his shoulders. He could not bear to, and absolutely could not, make such a rash and foolish decision.
To gamble with the lives of soldiers on a gamble with no chance of winning and destined to fail.
Moreover, Cheng Xiao also possesses a mysterious weapon with astonishing power, capable of destroying the world. He was fortunate enough to witness it firsthand in a seemingly ordinary yet subtly mysterious demonstration.
That day, the sky was clear and cloudless, the azure sky like a pure gemstone, and the sunlight poured down on the earth without reservation, illuminating everything and making it shine.
As the weapon was slowly pushed into the demonstration area, the surroundings instantly fell silent. Everyone seemed to feel an invisible pressure, like the calm before a storm.
Immediately afterwards, a muffled and deep rumble resounded, as if it came from the depths of the earth.
Like the roar of a giant beast that has been sleeping for thousands of years, it was deep and powerful, causing the earth to tremble slightly.
Then, a dazzling light, almost too bright to look at directly, streaked across the sky like lightning.
With a deafening roar, it seemed as if the entire world was torn apart in that instant.
The sound was so loud, like rolling thunder exploding in one's ears, piercing straight to the heart and lungs, making one's heart pound uncontrollably, as if it were about to burst out of one's chest.
Its range far exceeded that of any bow and arrow known in Miao territory; the heavy target in the distance was accurately hit in that instant.
It shattered into pieces instantly, killed in one blow, and had no chance to fight back.
Pan Wei was standing not far away at the time and witnessed this thrilling scene.
At that moment, he felt a chill run down his spine from the soles of his feet to his heart, as if an invisible hand was gripping his heart tightly.
Cold sweat instantly gushed out and soaked his back, as if he had been transported to a frigid, icy wasteland, every inch of his skin covered in the frost of fear.
His legs trembled slightly uncontrollably, and his heart was filled with endless fear and despair.
A horrific image involuntarily flashed through his mind: what a hellish scene it would be if this terrifying weapon were aimed at Miao territory.
Faced with Cheng Xiao's formidable firepower, Miao Jiang would likely be utterly powerless, like fragile ants.
Chengxiao conquered Miao territory with ease, like autumn leaves being swept away, without losing a single soldier, plunging the land into endless darkness and suffering.
However, no matter how hard Pan Wei racked his brains, he never imagined that all of this was actually a "wonderful performance" carefully planned and deliberately arranged by Cheng Xiao.
The mastermind behind it all is none other than the meticulous and cunning Qin Qianluo.
In fact, Chengxiao's alchemists had been working day and night, neglecting sleep and meals, to conduct in-depth research and improvement on the new weapon, investing a great deal of manpower, material resources and financial resources.
The weapons used by Chengxiao's soldiers today have reached an astonishing level in terms of performance, power, and accuracy.
