Chapter 120: Make Them Pay for Their Blood Debts

Bai Wei went to the construction site of the vegetable greenhouse and made a patrol.

The construction team's progress was fast; they had already leveled the wasteland and were currently erecting the plastic film vegetable greenhouse, while workers nearby were laying foundations and building houses.

She returned to the manor only to see Xiao Moting's reply.

"What, the Rakshasa Bandits, with a Firearm Squad, slaughtered five villages of the Daliang Kingdom?"

Bai Wei was shocked.

The current Daliang army is no match for a Firearm Squad!

If they fight, they will suffer a great loss.

However, when she finished reading all of Xiao Moting's messages, she couldn't help but tremble with anger, her heart burning with rage.

Slaughtering villages, stripping women naked, throwing infants into pots of boiling water...

What kind of beasts are these!

No!

Sorry!

She shouldn't insult beasts!

These Rakshasa Bandits are just a bunch of inhuman trash!

Moreover, the actions of this trash were actually condoned by the Rakshasa army; most likely, the Firearm in their hands were also provided by the army!

Bai Wei immediately opened Baidu Maps and found the approximate location of the Altai Snow Mountain.

The map was very clear!

Suddenly!

She discovered that there were mines near the five villages taken by the bandits!

Iron mines!

And a Saltpeter Mine!

Bai Wei's pupils narrowed!

Wait!

Saltpeter is the core ingredient for making Black Powder!

In modern times, buying and selling gunpowder is illegal; if she wanted to buy gunpowder, she would have to go abroad.

But with Saltpeter, she could make Black Powder!

She immediately went to Baidu to look up information to see a detailed introduction of this area.

According to the information, the mountains in this area are steep and not suitable for farming, but they are rich in mineral resources, so the ancient villagers living here all made a living by mining.

She didn't expect that most of the villagers in these five villages were actually miners!

Bai Wei immediately had a direction.

The Northern Frontier Camp has farmers who are clearing wasteland to farm, but they have no miners!

"Xiao Moting, send troops to attack the Altai Snow Mountain! Take back the villages!"

Xiao Moting withdrew his gaze and turned to walk out of the commander's tent.

The early spring rain still carried the chill of late winter, and it felt bone-chilling when it fell on his body.

The villagers were all soaked, but they knelt there without moving.

Several toddlers held in their mothers' arms were crying from the cold.

The loud crying of infants echoed in the curtain of rain.

Seeing Xiao Moting come out, the crowd raised their heads one after another, looking at him eagerly and expectantly.

Many people's eyes carried a trace of despair.

The elderly village chief stood up tremblingly and sighed at the crowd.

"Everyone go back, don't make things difficult for the Prince of Zhenbei..."

Xiao Moting stepped forward, his armor stained with raindrops.

His sharp gaze swept across the crowd.

"All Northern Frontier Army, listen to my order!"

"Two days from now, we march to Altai to take back the villages!"

His cold, steady voice pierced through the rain curtain and clearly reached everyone's ears!

Instantly!

All the commoners raised their heads in unison, expressions of surprise appearing on their faces.

Their eyes seemed to carry a hint of disbelief.

"Prince, are you... are you willing to help us fight the bandits?"

Xiao Moting nodded steadily.

"Whether you are from Yannan or the Northern Frontier, you are all subjects of my Daliang!"

"If any foreign enemy dares to invade and slaughter the commoners, let them pay for their blood debts with blood!"

"Let everyone know that our Daliang has never been a place where they can run wild at will!"

As soon as he finished speaking!

A thunderous cheer erupted from the front!

All the commoners were moved to tears, kowtowing to Xiao Moting incessantly.

"Thank you, Prince! You are our savior, the savior of Daliang!"

"My daughter is saved, she is saved! This common woman kneels to thank the Prince!"

"The Prince of Beijiang is the true War God who saves us from suffering!"

The crowd was joyful and excited, but several Northern Frontier Army soldiers standing to the side had their brows tightly locked.

Qin Zhan stepped forward, his expression filled with worry.

"Prince, do you really intend to send troops to attack Altai Snow Mountain Village? Those Rakshasa Bandits have Fire Musket in their hands, and our equipment is inferior to theirs. If we rashly send troops, the Northern Frontier Army will surely suffer heavy casualties... This battle cannot be fought!"

"This is an arrangement by Shennü Daren," Xiao Moting said very calmly. "She said she would send us new weapons more powerful than Fire Musket."

Upon hearing the four words "Shennü Daren," the worry on Qin Zhan's face instantly vanished.

"So it was an order from the Goddess? Then we must fight this battle. Even if we have to go through fire and water, we must drive away these Rakshasa people!"

The several tense Northern Frontier Army soldiers around them also relaxed.

Everyone crowded forward one after another, rubbing their hands and grinning.

"Prince, is the Goddess going to send us new equipment again? What kind of weapon is it?"

"More powerful than Fire Musket? Can you reveal a little bit?"

"I've become so familiar with the old equipment that I'm itching to try out the new weapons."

Xiao Moting looked at the eager soldiers and waved his hand.

"The equipment hasn't been sent over yet, what are you rushing for? All of you go back; when the time comes, you'll have everything you need."

He raised his head and asked the villagers standing in front.

"Do you usually make a living by mining?"

The village chief hurriedly replied respectfully.

"Answering the Prince, most of the villagers in our five villages are miners. There are iron mines near the villages, as well as Saltpeter Mine."

Xiao Moting nodded, "We helped you drive back the bandits; are you willing to join Beijiang and mine for the Northern Frontier Army?"

"Ah?" The village chief was stunned.

The crowd around them also fell silent.

Suddenly, the woman who was blind in one eye shouted loudly.

"The Prince is benevolent and kind; this common woman is willing to join Beijiang."

With her taking the lead, a group of villagers also began to clamor.

"The Prince helped us fight the bandits, we are willing."

"I am willing. Once our family members are rescued, they will certainly be willing too."

The village chief also hurriedly cupped his hands, "Prince, we are willing! It's just that regarding General Yuan's side, we still have to trouble you to negotiate..."

They were people from Yannan, and the mines belonged to the Yuan Family Army; they had no authority to make decisions.

A flash of cold light flickered in Xiao Moting's eyes.

There was no need to negotiate!

Shennü Daren said that the mines were very important resources, especially the Saltpeter Mine, which was an important raw material for making Musket Bullet.

Therefore, once he took the mines, he would directly station troops to take over and seize the Altai Snow Mountain!

As for Yuan Canghai, the two sides had long been at odds like fire and water, so one more time wouldn't make a difference!

"Take the villagers down, get them some chicken, duck, fish, and meat, and let them have a good rest."

Since they were now miners of Beijiang, he naturally could not treat them poorly.

The villagers were even more excited.

"There's chicken? Isn't such a good thing something only the wealthy could eat?"

"We can even eat meat? The Prince is truly benevolent."

"The Prince is so good to us, sob sob sob, I want to mine for Beijiang for the rest of my life..."

At the Farm.

Bai Wei was urgently searching for information on her computer.

The bandits had weapons like Fire Musket; the Qing Bow sent last time was no longer a match for them.

Therefore, she had to find more powerful equipment.

Bai Wei searched through Tieba and browsed major forums, but could not find a single post selling firearms and Ammunition.

She pondered.

Could it be...

This time, did she really have to go abroad?

Just then, Xiao Moting sent a message.

"Shennü Daren, are you still looking up information?"

"Yes," Bai Wei checked the time; it was already noon. "But I haven't found anything useful. I'll order some takeout, eat lunch, and then go out to ask around."

She had just finished writing.

Inside the wardrobe, three fragrant beggar's chickens appeared, still steaming.

"Shennü Daren, I watched videos from your side that said eating takeout often isn't very good for your health."

"This is a pheasant caught by the Northern Frontier Army; the taste is quite good, have a taste."

Bai Wei was surprised.

This Xiao Moting... when did he become so thoughtful?

He even wouldn't let her eat takeout.
