Chapter 70: Delivering Food and Medicine to General Yang

On the watchtower of the Northern Frontier Army.

Two craftsmen nervously held the Remote Controller, controlling the Drone to fly back.

"Buzz—"

The Drone landed steadily and stopped on the open ground.

The surrounding area was crowded with people, all waiting nervously; seeing the Drone fly back successfully, they instantly let out a cheer!

"It succeeded! The iron bird sent by the Goddess truly delivered the grain into Heyuan County."

Xiao Moting also let out a sigh of relief, bending down to pick up the letter on the Drone.

The letter was written by Wang Ziyi; the handwriting was unsteady, clearly showing he was very agitated.

"Heyuan Cheng gate Captain Wang Ziyi, on behalf of all the people in the city, kowtows to thank the Prince of Zhenbei for his great kindness!"

"My son Wang Sheng, having been saved by you, I am truly endlessly grateful..."

In the letter, Wang Ziyi was extremely emotional, thanking him for saving his son's life.

At the same time, he also said that Heyuan County was lacking grain and clean water, and there were many sick people, hoping that medicine could be sent over.

Xiao Moting immediately gave the order.

"Hang the packed medicine on the Drone."

Beside the open ground, bags of packed items were already piled up.

There were steamed buns, luncheon meat, mineral water, and medicine to treat malaria...

These were all things to be sent into Heyuan County.

Although it could only carry forty kilograms at a time, it was a lifeline for the trapped soldiers and civilians!

Buzz!

The Drone, carrying the medicine, rose into the air again under the control of the craftsmen.

Just at this moment!

The wardrobe suddenly opened.

Immediately after, five brand-new cargo Drones appeared out of thin air in front, along with a barrel of gasoline.

The crowd was stunned.

Xiao Moting looked up and saw the message sent by Bai Wei.

"Xiao Moting, I have ordered five more Drones; take them quickly to deliver grain and medicine to the starving people in Heyuan County."

"The Goddess is truly kind," Zhang Zhao muttered, "even though she is far from us, she still keeps the people in her heart."

The several generals standing behind him also had moist eyes.

If it weren't for the Drones sent by Bai Wei, their families trapped in Heyuan County would likely have had no way out but death.

Xiao Dabao walked up and smilingly patted Zhang Zhao on the shoulder.

"Old General Zhang, do you know the kindness of the Goddess now?"

Zhang Zhao hurriedly cupped his hands, "Thank you, Goddess!"

Buzz!

Six Drones, hanging grain, mineral water, and medicine...

Rose into the air in a mighty formation and flew toward the direction of Heyuan County!

Xiao Moting looked up at the departing Drones, a smile finally appearing at the corners of his mouth.

As long as there is grain and medicine, the troops in Heyuan County can recover their combat effectiveness!

When the two armies clash, his chances of winning will be much greater.

"Chirp!"

The gyrfalcon Cang Yun flew back and landed on Xiao Moting's shoulder.

Qin Zhan, who was building a dam upstream, had sent a letter back!

Xiao Moting immediately untied the letter and checked it quickly.

"Prince, Wanyan Yi really did as you said and sent a team of scouts to check the situation upstream."

"Please rest assured, Prince; I have already followed your instructions and arranged for the surrounding villagers to dig water channels early on."

Xiao Moting lit a fire starter and burned the secret letter to ashes.

His handsome, stern face revealed a smile of certainty.

When two armies are pitted against each other, it is not just a battle of military strength, but a contest of strategy!

On the chessboard of strategy, he had gained the upper hand over Wanyan Yi by one step.

By the riverbank.

Wanyan Yi stood by the river, supervising the soldiers as they built a bridge.

The river water had already receded by one-third.

The scout who went to report arrived.

"Reporting to the Prince, the small team sent to investigate upstream has returned."

"The drop in the river's water level is caused by villagers upstream digging numerous channels to divert water for irrigating farmland."

Wanyan Yi knitted his brows, "Why are they digging channels to divert water at this time?"

"The soil in Beijiang is frozen earth; due to the severe cold, the villagers cannot dig the frozen earth."

"Only when the weather warms up and the frozen earth thaws do they seize the time to dig channels before the start of spring."

"We have already questioned many villagers and also checked the frozen soil layer and the paddy fields, which proves that the local custom is indeed so."

Wanyan Yi pondered for a moment, "You didn't disturb the local villagers, did you?"

"There was no disturbance; we disguised ourselves as traveling merchants, and the villagers are foolish and couldn't recognize us at all."

Wanyan Yi turned his head, looked at the shallowing river water, and laughed loudly.

"The commoners of Daliang Kingdom are digging canals together to irrigate their fields, haha... truly, the timing and terrain are perfect; even Heaven is helping me!"

"Xiao Moting, you will undoubtedly lose this battle."

"Your Daliang Kingdom will certainly be destroyed at the hands of me, Wanyan Yi!"

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

A strange sound rang out from the sky.

Wanyan Yi raised his head and was instantly stunned.

"What is that?"

Six huge "iron monster birds" flew in from the sky, each carrying a large cloth bag.

Almost all the Daye Army soldiers raised their heads and looked over in shock.

Chishu said in a deep voice, "Prince, this seems to have flown over from the Northern Frontier Army camp; perhaps it is sorcery used by the Goddess."

"Sorcery?" Wanyan Yi sneered, "Bring me a bow; I shall shoot down these monster birds."

On the watchtower of Beijiang.

A craftsman held binoculars and saw Wanyan Yi take a large bow from a soldier's hand.

"Not good, they are going to shoot down the Drones."

"Ascend immediately."

The six Drones rapidly ascended vertically, flying into the high sky in the blink of an eye!

Wanyan Yi shot an arrow, but it missed completely.

He was furious, "This feathered beast actually knows how to dodge! Archers, shoot them down for me!"

Swish, swish, swish!

Countless black-feathered arrows shot toward the sky.

Unfortunately, the Drones were flying too high and could not be hit at all.

The Daye soldiers on the ground could only watch helplessly as the Drones passed over their heads and flew into Heyuan County.

Wang Ziyi had long been waiting anxiously on the city wall with a group of soldiers.

Seeing the six Drones fly over, the crowd suddenly erupted into cheers.

"The Prince of Northern Pacification has sent us food again!"

"Thank you, Prince of Northern Pacification!"

The six large cloth bags landed on the ground.

Clatter!

A large pile of mineral water, luncheon meat, white rice, and Instant Noodles poured out of the bags...

There was also a large pile of medicine.

Ibuprofen, alcohol, Absorbent Cotton...

On the cloth bag containing the medicine, there was also an instruction manual written in Xiao Moting's own hand, detailing how to use the medicine.

"This medicine is a gift from the gods and can cure the plague in the county!"

Wang Ziyi was incredibly moved.

He had long heard that a Goddess was protecting Xiao Moting, helping him be invincible.

He had thought it was just a rumor.

He didn't expect it to be true.

He knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

"Many thanks to the Goddess, many thanks to the Prince of Northern Pacification! Our Heyuan County is saved."

On the city wall, cooking smoke rose.

In the steaming large soup pot, Instant Noodles were boiling, garnished with sliced luncheon meat.

Fresh green vegetables were also added...

The aroma was rich and mouth-watering!

Amidst the rising steam, the garrison soldiers beamed with joy, eating without even lifting their heads.

They even used steamed buns to mop up the broth of the Instant Noodles, eating every last drop.

The food sent by the Goddess and the Prince of Northern Pacification was simply too delicious!

They had never eaten anything so tasty.

As for the rice and grain hidden by Yang Wei... everyone didn't even want to think about it anymore.

What was so good about dry rations?

How could they compare to the Instant Noodles sent by the Goddess and the Prince of Northern Pacification?

The Drones delivered the bags and flew back toward the Northern Frontier Army camp.

They had to continue delivering!

"Captain Wang! The patient ate the medicine sent by the Prince of Northern Pacification, and the fever has broken!"

"What?" Wang Ziyi was stunned.

This medicine was simply more effective than the Imperial Physicians in the Imperial Palace!

Everyone was happily eating Instant Noodles.

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps.

A group of armored soldiers rushed up to the city tower.

"Captain Wang, General Yang orders you to deliver the food and medicine sent by the Prince of Northern Suppression to him."
