Chapter 132: The Third Deity Appears in the World

The bandits had committed countless evils, and the villagers could no longer bear it.

Now, the Northern Frontier Army had annihilated the bandits and even captured their leader alive.

The villagers clapped and cheered, waiting by the roadside, picking up rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, stones... and throwing them hard at the bandits.

Jiefu was pelted until his head was broken and bleeding, clutching his head and dodging incessantly.

He had been blown apart by an explosion and lost an arm, becoming one-armed.

Originally, it was only meant to be a single lap, but Qin Zhan deliberately ordered the soldiers to drag the group of bandit captives and parade them back and forth through the village several times.

Villagers from nearby villages also heard the news and rushed over, everyone chasing after the bandits to beat and scold them.

Many bandits were pelted until their heads were broken and bleeding, howling in pain, looking extremely miserable.

As the bandit leader, Jiefu suffered even more brutal beatings from the villagers; he was beaten until his face was bruised and swollen, even his nasal bone was broken by a stone, and his face was smeared with nosebleeds.

Before the parade was even finished, he had passed out from the pain.

Not until the villagers had vented enough did Qin Zhan order the troops to withdraw, locking the bandits up to prepare for their execution tomorrow morning.

Xiao Moting reported the battle situation to Bai Wei.

"Shennü Daren, thanks to the weapons you sent, the Northern Frontier Army has successfully taken the mine!"

"The Northern Frontier Army killed over four hundred enemies, captured the bandit leader Jiefu alive, and took over forty prisoners; all of this is your credit."

"Xiao Dabao's ribs were broken, and he has already been arranged to return to camp to recover."

Bai Wei replied.

"Xiao Moting, this battle was fought very well!"

"Also, this is not just my credit alone. The opponent had a great advantage; if you hadn't commanded the overall situation, this battle wouldn't have been won so beautifully! You are also very amazing!"

"This is a victory shared by you, me, and the entire Northern Frontier Army!"

Xiao Moting looked at the elegant handwriting appearing on the wooden board, his thin, tightly pressed lips curling slightly upward.

He had been praised again.

His mood was joyful, his heart thumping, beating lightly and quickly.

Xiao Moting replied quickly.

"Good, you provide the equipment, and I will provide the force; I will fight in the vanguard for you and sweep away all obstacles."

"Let us work together to build a peaceful and prosperous age."

"When the world is settled, I truly hope you can come to Daliang to see this brand-new dynasty that you and I have created together... Also, the Northern Frontier Army and I really want to see you."

"I will come," Bai Wei promised solemnly.

Under her influence, the Daliang Dynasty, which had been on the verge of extinction, was changing bit by bit.

According to the original history, Xiao Moting would commit suicide for his country, and Qin Zhan, Xiao Dabao, the Han family father and daughter... would all die tragic deaths.

But now, Bai Wei had saved them... and also saved the lives of thousands upon thousands of the Northern Frontier Army, as well as countless Northern Frontier commoners.

The heavy wheels of history had been rewritten by her own strength.

The Daliang Dynasty had opened a new chapter from this moment on.

Bai Wei decided in her heart that she would accompany Xiao Moting all the way.

According to the second prophecy, a powerful enemy would attack Daliang, and after Daliang fell, the Five-Nation Allied Forces would immediately invade Huaxia, burning, killing, and looting, causing the entire Shenzhou land to fall.

All Huaxia citizens would lose their homeland, becoming slaves to foreign enemies, living in deep water and scorching fire.

How similar was this scene to the one her own country had faced decades ago?

Therefore, even if she and Xiao Moting were in different time and space, she would never let this happen.

"Xiao Moting, you have all been killing enemies in the Snow Mountain these past few days, eating poorly and living poorly; you must be exhausted."

"I am going to order a meal for the Northern Frontier Army now to reward everyone."

"This time, I am treating everyone to a seafood feast!"

After Bai Wei finished writing, she drove to the city.

Xiao Moting and the Northern Frontier Army had come to Yannan to kill enemies; the journey was long, and they did not bring much grain or fodder. They camped in the abandoned village, and their food and living conditions were very poor.

Although Xiao Moting was already accustomed to such military life, Bai Wei did not agree with it.

After winning a battle, one must eat and drink well!

She would provide it!

Seeing that Bai Wei was going to provide special meals for everyone again and even send seafood.

The soldiers cheered immediately.

The Northern Frontier was located in a high and cold region; seafood could not be transported there at all, and almost no one had ever eaten seafood!

"Great, Shennü Daren is going to send us delicious food again!"

"I have grown up this big and have never eaten seafood before!"

"I heard that the crabs in the sea are bigger than a washbasin."

Xiao Moting's heart was also filled with warmth.

Having been away from home for many years, no one had ever treated him as well as Bai Wei.

He turned around and gave an order.

"Go and take inventory of the spoils of war, and pick out the best ones to send to Shennü Daren."

Upon hearing that they were to send things to Shennü Daren, the Northern Frontier Army soldiers who were resting immediately took action.

Shennü sent them equipment and even seafood; she was truly too good to them.

They also wanted to repay Shennü.

At this moment, Wu Da arrived, his expression very grave.

"Prince, Jiefu is locked in the tent, and he keeps shouting that he wants to see you."

"He said he is a subordinate of Grand Duke Ivan of the Rakshasa Kingdom, holding the rank of Centurion, and demands that you release the captives."

Xiao Moting raised his sword-like eyebrows, a flash of sharp light crossing his eyes.

"A Centurion? He is actually an officer of the Rakshasa Kingdom?"

Wu Da nodded.

"I have already interrogated them; this group of people are not bandits at all, but are actually Rakshasa soldiers who disguised themselves as bandits to forcibly occupy the mine."

"In the Rakshasa Kingdom, there is a Prophet who leads them in refining steel and crafting Firearm... The Prophet needs the Saltpeter Mine, but there are no mineral veins in the Rakshasa Kingdom, so the King sent soldiers disguised as bandits to invade Snow Mountain Village in the Daliang Kingdom to seize the mine."

"The Prophet seized the mine with the intention of researching a heaven-defying weapon called a Cannon; it is said that a single shot can blast half a city into ruins. However, the Rakshasa people do not have Saltpeter, so the Prophet has not yet succeeded in manufacturing the Cannon."

Xiao Moting's breath hitched, and his narrow, long eyes narrowed.

"A Prophet?"

"Manufacturing a Cannon?"

Interesting!

To think that in this world, another divine being has appeared!

Beijiang has a Goddess who can send all sorts of things.

Yannan has a National Preceptor who can foresee the future.

And the Rakshasa Kingdom actually has a Prophet who can teach them to manufacture all sorts of formidable weapons!

All three factions possess their own divine beings.

The divine being of each faction has their own unique, exclusive abilities.

If the three factions were to launch a great war and fight each other, which divine being would ultimately emerge victorious?

Xiao Moting pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"Beijiang cannot fall into internal chaos; seal the news about the Rakshasa Prophet for now."

Bai Wei has said that Beijiang cannot go to war right now; starting a war would increase consumption, and Beijiang needs to develop and accumulate strength.

Among these three factions, Beijiang is currently the weakest.

In terms of financial resources, influence, and military strength... General Yuan Canghai of Yannan has the most; he has the entire Daliang dynasty as his backing, and his sister is De Guifei, so he has both money and power, and his Yuan Family Army is incredibly wealthy.

In terms of military power and equipment... the Rakshasa Kingdom is the most advanced.

As for Beijiang, although it has won several victories, it is still very weak compared to these two factions and is in urgent need of developing its forces and accumulating strength.

Bai Wei went to buy a seafood feast and has not yet returned.

Xiao Moting wrote a message to inform Bai Wei of the news about the "Prophet."

Qin Zhan entered.

"Prince, an adjutant from the Yuan Family Army has arrived, claiming that the mine is in Yannan territory and demanding that you hand over the mine and the bandits to Yannan."
