My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 330 The Emperor's Methods? Next Target: Tianjing! (Fourth Update)

"However... even if everything goes smoothly!" Chu Zhu felt a slight headache. Having done all this, he would inevitably become a thorn in the side of the imperial court, and would inevitably face assassination attempts from various extraordinary individuals within the court...

Chu Zhu never believed that the people of this era were fools. As long as they weren't killed, and they were allowed to recover, they could easily deduce Chu Zhu's weaknesses with a little reasoning.

"Accumulating strength! Expanding the guild... and improving my own strength... these things are basically impossible to do now that I've become a thorn in their side." Chu Zhu pursed his lips, his mind racing.

Perhaps, letting this identity "die" in the open, thus escaping... and secretly accumulating power, is also an acceptable thing?

Countless thoughts flashed through Chu Zhu's mind.

at last.

With the deaths of a large number of officers, military order collapsed... logistics and weaponry were damaged... a large number of drones were destroyed...

finally--

The drone carrier floated directly above the military camp, displaying a terrifying and oppressive presence while releasing Z-3 unmanned combat aircraft.

Missiles and bombs swept in with a deafening roar.

Medium-sized drones, at most carrying only some small to medium-sized bombs, are primarily used to dismantle military command structures by targeting and killing officers...

However, the Z-3 unmanned combat aircraft is a different story!

Its destructive power may not be as great as many medium-sized drones... but the visual impact it presents is far, far greater than those!

Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, the unimaginable bombing scenes... utterly shattered the will to resist of the Imperial Guards, who were already forced to flee in terror under the bombing...

It's collapsed. The entire army has completely collapsed...

Even though this army numbered as many as 50,000, only a few thousand were confirmed dead—many of whom were burned to death in the ensuing fires that destroyed food supplies, or were killed by the blast of explosives from a depot…or were accidentally killed by friendly forces while attacking combat drones—

but now……

With the vast majority of commanders dead... and the survivors having lost all will to fight and scattered in all directions—the Imperial Guard, in essence, was utterly dead!

Eunuch Huang: "..."

Huang's mind went blank. He could actually understand what had happened, after all, eunuchs also needed education... If there was nothing in their minds, there was no way the emperor would favor them!

The emperor's cultural requirements for those around him were frighteningly high! In some ways, they even surpassed those for supernatural powers... or rather, one had to first possess culture, and then undergo sufficient verification, before it was even possible to learn a certain supernatural power...

But it was precisely because he knew that he understood just how dire the situation was!

His face was pale, and he stared intently at Chu Zhu. His lips moved, and a thousand words were stuck in his throat, but he couldn't utter a single one.

In the end, only four words remained in his mind... Chaos reigns!
But how could this happen?
Just a day ago, the Great Qian Dynasty was thriving!

Even if you are the founding emperor... why would you use such a tyrannical method to treat the Great Qian Dynasty you founded?!

Chu Zhu remained silent, his mind churning with thoughts, before carefully saying, "Hive... let the drone carrier return! The route back will still be... well, along areas with many people."

Strategic objectives have been achieved! Next…

Chu Zhu pursed her lips; it was time to consider... how to escape!

He didn't even need to think to know... the emperor was probably furious right now.

Uh, wait a minute! Chu Zhu frowned slightly. What if he went out and found Su Buqun blocking the doorway?

Chu Zhu fell into deep thought. Hu Kaikang… well, he definitely couldn't beat him!

"No matter what... let's go out and see! If we die, we'll just learn from the experience..." Chu Zhu rubbed his temples, already thinking that if he really ran into the ancestor, should he try to get close to him first and see if he could get any information out of him?

Suddenly, Chu Zhu sensed something; a sharp pain shot through his heart, and his face turned deathly pale: "...What is this?"

"Wait, what's wrong?" Hu Kaikang's expression changed drastically. He immediately sensed something was wrong and stepped forward to help Chu Zhu.

"...It's nothing." With difficulty, Chu Zhu uttered those two words, then everything went black before her eyes. For some inexplicable reason, she seemed to see... a roaring golden dragon charging towards her from the darkness...

"???"

Immediately, time began to reverse!

……

"Ah this..."

In the ecological park, Chu Zhu opened his eyes in a daze. He looked around and saw no Vice President Xin, no Eunuch Huang, no Hu Kaikang... no one... Oh, there's Little Mushroom Head!

Chu Zhu glanced at the time subconsciously: "...Six o'clock. Hmm..."

Chu Zhu fell silent for a moment. Was he being reset to the very beginning this time? Rubbing his temples, Chu Zhu suddenly felt as if he had been transported to another world.

"So, how did I die?" Chu Zhu was genuinely confused. Whether it was his ancestor suddenly appearing before him and killing him on the spot... or the emperor possessing some ancient relic missile, or even nuclear weapons, or even antimatter bombs... and suddenly throwing them in his direction...

Chu Zhu could accept any of these ways of dying.

But only...

This kind of sudden death was something Chu Zhu found truly unbearable.

Closing her eyes and calming herself for a while, Chu Zhu got up and paced back and forth. Gradually, a guess formed in Chu Zhu's mind, "Is it some kind of supernatural power? Or some kind of artifact?"

This is the most reasonable explanation!
"Terrifying!" Chu Zhu gasped, a series of possibilities flashing through his mind. Could it be that simply knowing his name was enough to curse him to death? But... that golden dragon didn't seem like such an evil creature...

or……

"No, no, no, there's no point in thinking about that now! What we need to think about is solutions... at the very least, how to counter that thing!"

Chu Zhu rubbed her cheeks vigorously, forcing herself to calm down. Her expression was serious as she thought things through, and she gradually came to terms with the situation.

"First of all... activating that thing must be extremely troublesome!"

If it were so easily usable, the emperor could use it to kill whoever he wanted... but the reality was that Chu Zhu sent a drone carrier to the capital, and the other side didn't react. The drones swept across the capital, and still, the other side didn't react...

It wasn't until the Imperial Guards were wiped out, drastically threatening the stability of the Great Qian Dynasty, that the other side resorted to this tactic. Therefore…

"Either the cost of using this thing is extremely high! So much so that even during the destruction of the Imperial Guards, the emperor hesitated, unsure whether to use it... He only made up his mind after completely destroying them! Or..."

"It takes this long just to get it running! At least an hour and a half..."

So, which possibility is it?

Chu Zhu leans more towards the first possibility.

After a brief silence, Chu Zhu gave an ambiguous look: "But then again... for me, either possibility is the same!"

Because he can't possibly take down the opponent in an hour! So, if the opponent decides to use this thing... it's a dead end for him right now!

Chu Zhu narrowed his eyes. So, next, continue attacking the capital? Or perhaps...

Silently, Chu Zhu brought up a map, her finger tracing across the screen before finally drawing a circle above Tianjing. Then she tapped... the northern capital!

"Old Huo and Old Hu obviously don't know the inside story of this thing... but..."

Chu Zhu's expression was inscrutable. He believed that the Pope of the God Worshipping Society... definitely knew what was going on with that illusory golden dragon! Moreover, going to Tianjing would also allow him to dig up his good brother's inheritance...

From this perspective, what he's going to do next is quite obvious!

Chu Zhu chuckled silently, then her expression suddenly changed, her tone calm yet serious: "Nuwa No. 17, the Hive... Now, obey my orders!"
