Super Dimension Kill

"Your Majesty! This is the latest war report from the North. The troops from the West have arrived at Shourong City and blocked the attack of the Huorong barbarians! However, due to the surge in the number of troops, the North is in urgent need of food and grass. Please send food and grass support as soon as possible!"

"Your Majesty! The troops in the West are insufficient. A large army from the Western Region Wuzi suddenly appeared in the important town of the Western Frontier of our Great Zhou! The Western Frontier Army requests reinforcements!"

"Your Majesty, according to the spies, the foreign tribes in the South began to mobilize troops seven days ago, and there seems to be some unusual movements!"

Facing the defeat of the Huorong Kingdom, the North was affected by the whole body. After the reinforcement of the Western Frontier troops, the Western Region Wuzi, which had originally submitted to the Great Zhou and paid tribute every year, was ready to move.

At this time, the foreign tribes in the South also mobilized troops and waited for an opportunity to move.

In addition, the northern border was in a state of emergency because of the reinforcements from the western frontier and the attack by the wolf cavalry of the Huorong Kingdom barbarians, which destroyed part of the reserve war grain.

The military began to purchase from the public, which led to a sharp increase in the price of grain in the north of the Great Zhou. The people originally had only enough food to eat, but with the skyrocketing price of grain, they could not afford it.

For a time, the people in the north were full of resentment. They originally only sympathized and pitied the decision of the current emperor to severely punish Su Leng, and at most added a little resentment, but when it came to their own interests, the people in the north were dissatisfied with the current emperor, and their dissatisfaction with the current emperor instantly soared!

After the local government learned about it, it immediately suppressed it. It would have been better if it hadn't been suppressed. This suppression directly led to a big explosion of rebound!

Some people who were not full directly cursed the tyrant in the street, just to be arrested in the government office and ask for a mouthful of watery prison food.

Soon, the government offices of various local governments were filled with people, and there was no room for any more.

This move not only failed to curb the people's resentment, but it became more and more intense. Some remote places gradually saw incidents of burning, killing and looting.

For a time, all parts of the northern border began to become chaotic.

And the northern border became like this in just about a month.

In addition, this trend of chaos is spreading to the south without any pause...

After learning about these situations in the capital, the old emperor asked the ministers in charge of various departments if there were any good strategies. The ministers also made suggestions, but they were all temporary solutions.

In the end, it was the prime minister Li Qingyuan who spoke frankly and said: "Your Majesty, the only way to cure this chaos now is to ask the Thirteenth Prince to lead the expedition to the northern border again to attack the Huorong Kingdom, and let the troops transferred from the western border go back to deter the Wuzi scoundrels. As for the chaos in various parts of the Great Zhou, it is just a superficial wound, which can be cured."

Hearing Li Qingyuan's words, the old emperor, who was sitting on the dragon chair in the hall, had a face that was always expressionless just to make people unable to guess his intentions, and there was obvious embarrassment on his face.

He just ordered the recall of Thirteenth Son from the northern border and locked him up in the clan house for a month, and now he wants to let him out?

Such contradictory behavior is simply a slap in his face!

What dignity will he still have by then?

He only heard him say: "Is there no one else available in my Great Zhou except him?"

After that, he glanced at the civil and military officials in the hall, but no one dared to look at him, and they all lowered their heads, let alone answer.

The civil and military officials in the hall were not stupid. The Vulcan Army originally relied on the advantage of the number of troops to guard the northern border. Even so, the barbarians of the Fire Velvet Country dared to invade from time to time, not to mention the current Fire God Army, which had suffered heavy losses.

Once someone took on this hard job and went to the northern border, the troops transferred from the western border would go back to guard the western border. With the Fire God Army, which had suffered heavy losses, it would be impossible to defeat the barbarians of the Fire Velvet Country.

Even if the Thirteenth Prince, who was known as the "God of War", was invited again, the military officers present doubted that the other side might not be able to win the battle under such conditions.

Having been in the officialdom for a long time, they were basically all shrewd people. Maybe they didn't have much ability, but no one could compare to them in terms of seeing the situation clearly.

Looking at the civil and military officials in the court, hesitating, and no one dared to speak, the old emperor could only take a deep breath and said again: "Okay, I know."

Now that the Great Zhou is facing internal and external troubles, no matter how much he hates the Thirteenth Prince, as the king of a country, he can still distinguish the importance.

Moreover, he is also aware of the war in the northern border. No matter how amazing the Thirteenth Prince's military skills are, given the current strength of the Fire God Army, it is impossible for the Thirteenth Prince to win in a short time.

It's better to leave him in the northern border to fight with the Fire Rong Kingdom for a few years.

It can stabilize the situation and give him peace, which is killing two birds with one stone.

As for the problem of being too successful to be a threat to the emperor, when the situation stabilizes and the war is about to be won, he will be transferred back and one of his favorite sons will be allowed to pick peaches.

The only bad thing is that he has only been imprisoned in the clan house for a month and is now released, which is a bit embarrassing for him.

But there is no way now.

With this in mind, the old emperor immediately asked the eunuch beside him to start drafting an edict.

…

[Zhou Zhe drafts an edict to release you from the clan house and once again represent the royal family to lead the expedition to attack the barbarians of the Huorong Kingdom in the northern border...]

The text information that suddenly appeared in his mind made Su Leng, who was in the clan house, smile slightly.

The ability of [self-omniscience] fed back the current situation of the Great Zhou to his mind in detail and turned it into specific text information. Therefore, he knew what the old emperor was planning.

According to the common sense of this world, with the current strength of the Vulcan Army, even if he can know the movements of the Huorong Kingdom barbarians in detail, without sufficient troops, it is indeed impossible to win this war in a short period of time.

But unfortunately, this is according to the common sense of this world.

But he is not from this world!

The box of bombs in the basement of the fifteenth prince, as well as the large amount of sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal that the player who joined the game has been purchasing with a lot of money since entering the game, and the "primary bomb manufacturing" skill he learned when he used the [self-knowledge] ability to observe the other party, will be his big killer to quickly resolve this war!

In this cold weapon background dynasty, bombs are like artifacts!

Combined with his [self-knowledge] ability, he can see through the every move of the Huorong Kingdom barbarians. He hasn't even set out for this war, but the result is actually doomed.

"It's almost time to end it."

The layout has come to this point, and he has the emotions he wants. The next step is the final ignition to detonate the whole incident...

One day later.

Su Leng "without complaint" accepted the order and left the clan house, and rushed to the northern border at full speed.

In order to appease the military and civilians, the old emperor asked the government to publicize this matter among the people, and the northern army also sent scouts to rush 800 miles to inform the matter and stabilize the military.

And this move really boosted the morale of the northern fire god army!

The civilians who did not understand military affairs were also appeased. Under the propaganda of "interested people" in the past, Su Leng's name as the "God of War" had been deified, which made the people have a concept that as long as the "God of War" came out, the war would be victorious!

And the facts were exactly as the people expected.

When the "God of War" thirteenth prince came to the northern border and presided over the war against the Huorong Kingdom barbarians, he won the first battle in less than three days, and beat the Huorong Kingdom barbarians who had invaded the northern border Shourong City, which was nearly thirty miles south, and fled back to Shourong City.

Then, within seven days, the Huorong Kingdom barbarians were beaten back from Shourong City and headed for the border.

After that, there were continuous reports of victory along the way, and the Huorong Kingdom barbarians were defeated!

Since the "God of War" Thirteenth Prince set out for the northern border, the familiar continuous reports of victory also appeared again in the streets and alleys of the capital.

"Report~ Under the leadership of the Thirteenth Prince, the Huoshen Army won the first battle and curbed the continued invasion of the Huorong Barbarians!"

"Report~ Under the leadership of the Thirteenth Prince, the Huoshen Army won another great victory and recaptured Shourong City!"

"Report~ Under the wise leadership of the Thirteenth Prince, our army has driven the Huorong Kingdom barbarians out of the territory of the Great Zhou!"

"Report~ The Huorong Kingdom barbarians were scared by the Thirteenth Prince and my Huoshen Army and proposed peace talks!"

One after another, in less than two months, the Huorong Kingdom was actually driven out of the territory of the Great Zhou!

What's even more outrageous is that the Huorong Kingdom barbarians, who have always been extremely vicious and fearless of life and death, were actually scared and proposed peace talks! This is simply unheard of and unseen! !

When the old emperor received one victory report after another, he was completely stunned.

Especially when he received the news that the Huorong Kingdom barbarians were ready to negotiate peace, he felt like he was dreaming!

"How... is this possible?!"

Even the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not scare the uncivilized barbarians of Huorong Kingdom, so how did the Thirteenth Son do it? !

Moreover, it was within just two months!

"It is said that His Majesty the Thirteenth Prince invented something called 'gunpowder' and used it to create a magic weapon called 'bomb'."

The report from the Dark Night Division's secret guard answered the old emperor's doubts, "I heard that this 'bomb' magic weapon has the power of thunder, and one can kill dozens of the Huorong Kingdom barbarians."

"'Bomb' magic weapon?"

The old emperor was full of doubts and frowned, saying, "You ask the North to bring one to me."

"Yes!"

The report from the secret guard agreed.

Seven days later.

The Imperial Palace, the Imperial Study.

A soldier from the North brought a "bomb" magic weapon.

Looking at the tubular, ordinary-looking so-called "bomb" magic weapon, the old emperor wanted to reach out and touch it, but the soldier from the Vulcan Army hurriedly told him, "Your Majesty, this thing is dangerous. If no one has taught you how to use it, it may hurt your majesty. Let me demonstrate it."

The old emperor nodded and said nothing.

Afterwards, everyone came to the courtyard of the Imperial Study for a demonstration.

The general pulled out a thin rope from the tubular "bomb" weapon, raised his hand and threw it out.

A moment later——

"Boom!"

A huge explosion sounded from the courtyard of the Imperial Study, shaking the palace!

When the smoke from the explosion dissipated, everyone saw that the explosion site was in a mess, with ruins everywhere, and the ground was only charred.

Hiss!

Seeing the power of this "bomb" weapon, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.

However, when the old emperor looked at the charred ground and mess caused by the explosion, his head was "buzzed", and a strong feeling of dizziness suddenly surged into his head.

At the same time, pictures also emerged in his mind at this time.

A courtyard with broken walls and ruins...

On the charred ground...

Blood and flesh were splattered all over the ground...

Four figures that were neither human nor ghost were lying everywhere...

It turned out to be him!

It turned out to be him!!!

It turned out to be him!!!

When the old emperor understood the truth of the so-called "heavenly thunder", his blood surged up all over his body, his eyes were red, and he couldn't help but roared in anger that shocked the entire imperial study:

"Rebellious son!!!"
