Chapter 415: The Outcome Is Decided

See if you can guess what tactic your elder brother might have employed""...."Zhao Yuer was a bit helpless. Couldn't he just explain directly Why did he have to let her figure it out herself How could...When Lin Qingwen heard Mo Junyi's words, he almost didn't hesitate. He immediately used all his strength to push aside the soldiers surrounding him and jumped down directly.

The emperor, furious, immediately ordered, “Shoot him with arrows! Kill him!”

On command, the arrow was immediately loosed.

However, Yun Wu and Xun Bu had already flown over using their light skills. Yun Wu caught Lin Qingwen, while Xun Bu provided cover for them.

The emperor on the city wall was still issuing orders, commanding everyone to shoot arrows. This time, they were aimed not only at Lin Qingwen but also at An Xuetang and others.

Mo Junyi narrowed his eyes, a sneer playing on his lips, and then looked at Xunluo.

Xunluo was also waiting for his command. Seeing Mo Junshi nod, Xunluo immediately lit a pack of explosives.

An Xuetang and the others retreated again and again. Xunluo, Xinhong, Yunwu and the others also used light kung fu to quickly retreat.

The people on the city wall thought that the northern border army was scared, but before they could get excited for long, there was a deafening boom... The city wall was blown to pieces, the palace gate shattered into fragments, and anyone who came close to where the explosives were detonated was instantly blown to pieces, reduced to dust, with flesh and blood flying everywhere!

The emperor and others on the city wall also fell down because of the destruction of the wall.

The deputy commander of the Imperial Guard seized the Emperor and, with his light skills, protected him as he landed safely.

The emperor and he were both affected by the blast wave and suffered minor injuries.

But as soon as they got their footing, seeing the carnage before them—limbs blown apart, blood and flesh strewn everywhere—everyone's faces registered shock.

Some soldiers were out of control, screaming in terror!

This was the first time they had seen anything so devastatingly powerful.

They had no idea what was happening, only that after a deafening boom, everything changed drastically.

And the emperor was completely dumbfounded, he stood there frozen, his mouth slightly open, disregarding any imperial bearing, and trembling violently.

At this moment, he couldn't care less about the prince's death. He finally realized the danger he was in.

A cataclysmic crisis.

A deep sense of powerlessness spread through him. Sniffing the heavy metallic scent of blood, he could no longer hold back his nausea and vomited.

Not only was the emperor himself stunned, but those soldiers, the Imperial Guards who were still alive, all stood there in disbelief, staring at their comrades who were missing entire bodies.

Even...they didn't know whose limbs were scattered all over the ground.

In fact, when An Xuetang's companions saw this scene, they were also shocked.

Although they all knew the Princess and Prince had secret weapons, they truly didn't know what those weapons were, nor could they have imagined their power would be so astonishing.

Lin Qingwen came to his senses and knelt before Mo Junyi and An Xuetang, "The commoner greets the Princess of Beijiang, and the Prince."

He claimed to be an ordinary citizen, stepping down from his position as the commander of the Great Yue Imperial Forest Army. This was due to both his disappointment with the emperor of Great Yue and his desire to make a clear statement to An Xuetang and Mo Junshi that he no longer considered himself worthy of this title.

Mo Junyi narrowed his eyes, "Lin Tong, you lead the way."

Since Mo Junyi still thought he held the position of leader, he continued to address him as "Commander Lin".

Lin Qingwen didn't know what conditions they had, so he didn't dare to say anything rashly at this moment.

He looked at the devastation in the distance and sighed, "It seems General An was telling the truth. The Northern Border army truly possesses powerful weapons."

"Commander Lin, do you think we should continue this battle today"

Lin Qingwen fell silent for a moment, "Victory or defeat is already known, fighting again would just be the Beiqiang army beating them up."

“That book, the Prince has a task for you. As the commander of the Imperial Guard, your words might carry some weight with them. This Prince gives you one minute to persuade these soldiers to lay down their arms and surrender.”

"Of course, this prince's words are as solid as a stone. Our Northern Border army will not attack unarmed civilians, nor will we attack surrendered soldiers. As long as they remain loyal, this prince will naturally treat them well."

Lin Qingwen fell silent for a moment, then solemnly bowed and said, “I hope the Prince keeps his word.”

"Of course, remember, this prince only gives you a quarter of an hour. After a quarter of an hour, those who haven't surrendered..."

As they spoke, Mo Junyi pointed with his chin toward the nearby mess. "Just like this," he said.

Lin Qingwen's heart skipped a beat. Those brothers were the ones he had fought alongside, and he naturally didn't want them to end up like those on the ground, not even with intact bodies.

So without another word, he turned and walked back, raising his voice to urge the soldiers to lay down their weapons and move aside.

The emperor, listening to Lin Qingwen's words of persuasion, came to his senses and saw that soldiers were indeed putting down their weapons without hesitation and walking away silently. He was furious, pointing at the soldiers and roaring:

"I'll see who dares to be a traitor! I haven't died yet! I haven't died yet! I command you, charge for me, kill them all, charge at them! Kill the Northern Border army!"

Those soldiers looked at each other, their hearts conflicted, but still no one obeyed the emperor's command.

The emperor was now both furious and panicked. He glared fiercely at Lin Qingwen, "Lin Qingwen, as the commander of the Imperial Guard, you dare to betray me!"

Lin Qingwen turned his head and said with a blank expression, "Your Majesty, this commoner will never forget what You did to me on the city wall just now."

"As a humble subject, I have always been loyal and dedicated. I took the prince's head… because I believed it to be dangerous, a threat to Your Majesty. That is why I acted. But how did You respond"

"You want to kill a commoner, and I have nothing to say about that. But you want to massacre my entire family What have my loved ones done wrong Your actions, your Majesty, are truly chilling!"

"Now that you know the Northern army possesses such powerful weapons, sending your soldiers charging forward is tantamount to sending them to their deaths!"

"Your Majesty, surrender. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers cannot be sacrificed any longer because of your selfishness."

"Had you not been so greedy as to covet the Northern Border and sent your troops to attack it, then the hundreds of thousands of soldiers stationed near the border would not have been wiped out in a single night."

When Lin Qingwen said that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers ambushed near Beijang had been wiped out, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and Imperial Guards present all stared in disbelief, looking at each other in astonishment.

"Now that the outcome is sealed, Your Majesty, can you really bear to have hundreds of thousands of soldiers bury with you"

The emperor naturally wouldn't care about anyone's life or death at this moment, "Be quiet! Shut your mouths!"

After the emperor finished speaking, he raised his hand and said, "All generals, listen up! Whoever brings me the heads of the Princess of Bei Jiang and her people will be appointed as the Great General Protector of the Nation!"

After the emperor spoke, no one reacted.

The emperor's eyes were bloodshot, he turned his head to look at the deputy commander standing beside him, "What are you still doing Go kill them for me!"

The vice-commander looked pained. He suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent and unable to fulfill your command."
