Chapter 209: Modern Ruthless Skills and Technology

"If Beijiang falls, the world will surely descend into chaos!"

"The Yuan Clan will usurp the throne and bring disaster to Daliang!"

After these two divine instructions appeared in the sky, there was no further movement.

Yet these two short sentences alone were enough to shock the entire army.

The army of over a hundred thousand fell into total disarray.

Especially several of Yuan Canghai's top generals, who were so terrified that their faces turned pale.

Compared to the charge of Xiao Moting disobeying an imperial decree, the crime of usurping the throne was ten times more severe!

Coveting the imperial throne was a capital crime punishable by the extermination of one's nine clans; even students and distant relatives would be slaughtered!

Not to mention the top generals under Yuan Canghai!

Every general holding a key position would be branded with the crime of conspiring with Yuan Canghai, and their entire families would be executed.

It was not just the generals who were afraid; the soldiers were also filled with panic, terrified of being branded as "accomplices to the rebels."

Yuan Canghai never expected that Bailong Wang would manifest such a divine oracle, and he was both shocked and furious.

"I, Yuan, am loyal and devoted to the Emperor, and have never had any intention of rebellion! Right, this must be a treacherous scheme by Xiao Moting; do not believe it."

Yang Tianhu, however, could not take it in, because he was afraid too.

The current Emperor was heartless and extremely suspicious; even when his own son, Xiao Moting, showed a little bit of talent, the Emperor would harbor all sorts of suspicions. If it weren't for the strength of the Northern Frontier Army, he would have killed his son Xiao Moting long ago.

If these words reached the Emperor's ears, he would certainly throw Yuan Canghai into the Heavenly Prison.

Regardless of whether the Yuan Clan wanted to rebel or not, he did not want to get involved in this mess.

Thinking of this, Yang Tianhu could no longer care about seizing the Goddess and quickly distanced himself from Yuan Canghai, fearing that if he were even slightly tainted, his entire clan would be implicated.

Seeing Yang Tianhu treating him as if he were a plague, Yuan Canghai grew anxious.

"General Yang, this must be sorcery! How could I possibly usurp the throne?"

Yang Tianhu sat on his horse several yards away and laughed aloud.

"If the Northern Frontier Army knew sorcery, they would have used it to wipe us out long ago; would they still be trapped here?"

"I heard that a Tiansheng Army has appeared in the Yuan Family Army, fearless of death and pain, which is very frightening! I'm afraid that is the real sorcery, isn't it?"

"General Yuan, I advise you to hurry to Shengjing as soon as possible and explain yourself well to the Emperor to save your life."

After saying this, he turned his horse around and left.

The gods had already issued a warning: if Beijiang fell, Yuan Canghai would usurp the throne and become Emperor!

If he helped Yuan Canghai defeat the Northern Frontier Army, wouldn't he be handing the imperial throne to Yuan Canghai on a silver platter, making a wedding dress for them!

The current Emperor was incompetent, and Donghai Prefecture was far from the reach of the Emperor. Yang Tianhu held his own territory and was practically a local emperor. If Daliang changed dynasties and Yuan Canghai became Emperor, given his ambition, how could he possibly allow him to remain a king in Donghai Prefecture!

When the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked!

Yang Tianhu was not stupid; once Xiao Moting was defeated, it would be his turn!

He would not be the hunting dog that gets cooked!

Watching Yang Tianhu retreat to the rear with his troops, Yuan Canghai shouted anxiously.

"General Yang, come back!"

Yang Tianhu did not look back, pretending he did not hear.

Yuan Canghai was filled with fury!

If Yang Tianhu refused to send troops, he would only be able to fight Xiao Moting to a draw tomorrow!

He gritted his teeth and cursed.

"Xiao Moting, you dare to use evil arts to sow discord between us!"

Just then, a soldier ran over in a panic.

"Reporting to General Yuan, the soldiers are whispering that the Northern Frontier Army is protected by Bailong Wang, and this battle cannot be fought."

"Many soldiers refuse to go into battle, saying that they cannot show disrespect to Bailong Wang, otherwise disaster will befall them, and some even say..."

Yuan Canghai was in a fit of rage and roared.

"Say what!"

"They say you intend to rebel, and they don't want to be rebels, or their entire families will be executed!"

Yuan Canghai was so angry that he slashed with his Long Sword and killed the soldier on the spot.

It was one thing for Yang Tianhu to remain idle, but now even his own troops refused to obey orders and would not go to the battlefield.

"General Yuan! This is bad!" Another soldier ran over.

Yuan Canghai looked up and saw it was his confidant, so he suppressed his anger and asked in a low voice.

"What is it?"

"According to reports from scouts, Yang Tianhu has ordered the troops of Donghai Prefecture to remain idle, and he secretly wrote a confidential letter to report the situation here to the Emperor, saying that you intend to usurp the throne."

Yuan Canghai was so angry he nearly vomited blood!

"Good old Yang Tianhu, you dare to stab me in the back and tip off the Emperor; are you trying to use this to earn merit?"

In the Northern Frontier camp.

Xiao Moting was sending a message to Bai Wei.

"Shennü Daren, was it you who made the gods manifest and appear in the sky?"

Bai Wei received Xiao Moting's note and couldn't help but chuckle.

Where would there be any gods?

It was all modern-day ruthless skills and technology!

"Xiao Moting, this is called a Firework! The colorful clouds in the sky are custom-made fireworks I ordered!"

"The characters that appeared in the sky are also fireworks, called subtitle fireworks."

"These fireworks are all specially designed; once fired into the sky, they can form the desired patterns or text."

Xiao Moting received the note sent by Bai Wei and was instantly stunned.

The craftsmen on the Goddess's side are truly remarkable!

To think they can write in the sky!

"Shennü Daren, these fireworks must be very expensive. Once Mo Ting returns to Beijiang, I will send you more supplies."

Xiao Moting had accompanied Bai Wei on a shopping trip once, so he already understood a little about things on her side.

He knew that items from Daliang could sell for a lot of money in the Goddess's world.

This time, Bai Wei sent fireworks, and he did not know how much money she had spent.

Xiao Moting felt very guilty.

The items Bai Wei took away were all small trinkets commonly seen in the city of Daliang, not treasures of any kind, yet she had given him such a great return.

He must repay the Goddess twofold.

Bai Wei held Xiao Moting's note and laughed out loud once again.

In fact, each of these fireworks cost less than one thousand yuan; compared to the antiques she brought back from Daliang, it was merely a drop in the bucket.

"Xiao Moting, actually, you also deserve credit for this strategy."

"If you hadn't accompanied me to shop in the city of Daliang and bought so many things, I wouldn't have known that the common people of Yannan believed so devoutly in the White Dragon God."

"However, if you want to thank me, sending me antiques is no problem at all."

Bai Wei wanted money, the more the better.

The Vegetable Base had been built; she needed to buy equipment, hire people, and pay the workers' wages—all of which required money.

A village school still needed to be built, and she also wanted to open a restaurant...

Moreover, the fact that the Northern Frontier Army was besieged this time also made Bai Wei develop a sense of caution.

Although the strength of the Northern Frontier Camp had already increased tenfold compared to before, it was still not enough to contend with the Daliang Kingdom, not to mention the foreign tribes outside the borders who were eyeing them like tigers.

Only by developing and growing stronger could the Northern Frontier trample these opponents underfoot.

But to develop and grow, one had to spend money!

Therefore, even though there were hundreds of millions in funds on her bank card and several large crates of antiques in her room, Bai Wei still felt it was not enough!

If there were another war in the Northern Frontier in the future, just buying equipment for over a hundred thousand troops would cost hundreds of millions.

Even a mountain of gold could be spent entirely on war in the blink of an eye.
