Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

Behind Xia Yuan's camp, it was a scene of scorched hell.

On the ruins, the remaining Cloud-Shattering Crossbows lay scattered like the skeletons of a giant beast.

A lieutenant stumbled out of the thick smoke and crawled to Xia Yuan, his voice trembling.

"Your Highness! The inventory is complete! One hundred and twenty-three Cloud-Shattering Crossbows remain usable!"

"One hundred and twenty-three aircraft..."

As Xia Yuan read the number, a twisted smile appeared on his blackened face as his muscles twitched.

enough!

Enough to flatten that damn cliff a hundred times!

"Give the order!" His voice was hoarse, like a broken gong, "Move every single working Cloud-Shattering Crossbow to the front lines! All of them!"

He pointed his riding whip at the cliff to the east, his gesture suggesting he wanted to pierce through it.

"Aim carefully! I'll make sure those scumbags up there, along with their ashes, are buried in the dirt!"

"yes!"

The lieutenant accepted the order without the slightest hesitation, turned around and rushed back to that hellish place, desperately organizing manpower.

"Get moving! All of you, get the hell moving!"

"Set up the crossbows you can use and flatten that cliff!"

The lieutenant kicked a soldier who was slumped on the ground in the buttocks, roaring wildly.

The fear of death was ultimately overwhelmed by the fear of the prince.

The surviving soldiers struggled to crawl out of their hiding places and worked together to drag the heavy war machines.

crunch - crunch -

The heavy iron wheels rolled across the ground littered with gravel and mangled limbs, making a sickeningly loud noise.

Dozens of soldiers shouted slogans and used all their strength to push a Cloud-Shattering Crossbow to the designated position.

More soldiers crowded around and began operating the equipment in a flurry of activity.

"Wind winch! Quick! Turn it for me!" a captain yelled at the top of his lungs.

Eight of the most robust soldiers stood on either side of the giant crossbow, gripping the thick iron levers and exerting every ounce of their strength.

"Hey...ya!"

Accompanied by shouts, the huge winch turned inch by inch.

The bowstring, made of the sinews of a hundred beasts, was slowly pulled back, groaning under the strain.

Xia Yuan stood not far away, coldly watching all of this.

"Lin Mo, you brat..."

"You think you can shake my 400,000-strong army with those supernatural tricks?"

"Innocent!"

"Once my Cloud-Shattering Crossbow turns that cliff into a honeycomb, let's see how arrogant you'll be then!"

He had even begun to imagine the tragic sight of Lin Mo being pinned to the cliff by a giant arrow.

But just then—

Waaah—!

Waaaaahh ...

A familiar howling sound, like the wailing of a ghost, rang out from the sky once again!

Xia Yuan's sinister smile froze instantly.

He instinctively raised his head.

The terrifying scene that made his heart stop reappeared!

Above the sky, countless black iron balls, like seeds sown by the Grim Reaper, whistled as they fell.

The direction... was right at the Cloud Shattering Crossbow formation that he had just assembled and was about to fire!

What?!

How dare he?!

"No--!!!"

Xia Yuan's eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a roar that sounded inhuman.

However, his roar sounded so pale and powerless amidst the howling winds.

Boom!

dong dong dong dong!

Black iron balls rained down like hailstones.

This time, everyone knew what it was before the supervisor even gave the order.

"Run—!!!"

A soldier who was struggling to turn the winch heard the sound above him, glanced at the iron lump at his feet, and was terrified.

He threw down the joystick, turned and ran, even knocking over his companion.

This action acted like a fuse, instantly igniting everyone's fear.

"Run! It's that exploding iron ball!"

"Run! Get out of my way! Get out of my way!!!"

The position was in complete chaos, and the soldiers ran wildly towards the rear, wishing they had two more legs.

However, how could their legs outrun the footsteps of death?

boom--!!!

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom—!!!

An even more intense and concentrated explosion than the first one suddenly rang out!

The scorching air currents formed a visible white shockwave that swept wildly in all directions.

The soldier running at the very back didn't even have time to scream before the shockwave caught up with him and tore him apart into a cloud of blood mist.

Those Cloud-Shattering Crossbows that had just been set up, yet hadn't fired a single arrow,

In this horrific explosion, the body was blown to pieces, with parts mixed with the soldiers' severed limbs flying dozens of meters into the air.

The violent tremors caused Xia Yuan, who was in the distance, to stumble and nearly fall again.

Fortunately, the captain of the guards next to him reacted quickly and caught him.

"Your Highness!"

Xia Yuan's face was as pale as a sheet of paper.

He stared blankly at the battlefield that was once again engulfed in flames.

Looking at the blasted steel debris, and the figures struggling and tumbling in the flames before finally turning into charred remains.

He finally realized that he was not facing a war where the odds were stacked against him.

His proud army of 400,000 men looked like a flock of lambs to the slaughter before that small cliff.

Lin Mo... is a monster!

madman!

"withdraw……"

"retreat……"

Xia Yuan's lips trembled as he forced out a few words through gritted teeth.

Then he shoved the captain of the guard aside and roared with all his might.

"Order the entire army! Retreat! Retreat ten miles!!"

"Quick! Everyone get away from that damn cliff!!"

The messenger, as if granted a pardon, scrambled and crawled towards the rear.

Thump! Thump-thump! Thump-thump-thump!

The rapid and chaotic drumbeats resounded throughout the camp, signaling a retreat.

The entire military camp was in complete chaos. The soldiers, disregarding the need to tidy up their tents, frantically followed the crowd and retreated to the rear.

On the Cliff of Broken Souls, Lin Mo put down his telescope and raised an eyebrow.

They just ran away like that? How boring.

"Lin Mo, Lin Mo! They got away! We won!"

Gu Ling'er popped out, her little face flushed with excitement, jumping and skipping around.

Lin Mo didn't answer, but simply raised his binoculars again and looked at the chaotic camp with great interest.

In his view, those bulky and enormous "sky ladders"

Because they were so huge, they were abandoned on the spot by the panicked soldiers, looking like rows of dumbfounded giants.

"win?"

Lin Mo turned around and shouted to the group of equally excited craftsmen.

"It's still early! Ladies and gentlemen, the real show has only just begun!"

He grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

"Adjust the angle, next target: those iron ladders left behind by the enemy!"

"Let them watch one last spectacular fireworks display before they run away!"
