Inside the kitchen, when almost all the banished army had fallen asleep, the kitchen was bustling with activity. Dozens of people were rapidly preparing the ingredients for breakfast the next day. The people from the banished land were like starving ghosts. They couldn't fill their stomachs in the banished land all year round. In the end, coming to the Shattered Cauldron Realm was like going to heaven. The Southridge Province was incomparably fertile, and there were countless resources. Every day, they would eat white rice, meat buns, and meat dishes in soup until their bellies were round.
"Brats, go and carry that boar over."
The old veteran shouted, "Cut open its intestines and marinate it. We'll start roasting it at midnight. Our brothers will be able to eat delicious marinated meat in the morning."
The group of young soldiers nodded and went to carry the boar. These soldiers were all handsome, and they could be considered pretty good-looking in the exile army. After all, they were the ones who cooked. If they were werewolves with scabies and ulcers all over their bodies, the food would probably be inedible.
It was at this time that the leader opened the tent and walked in. "Hey, what's your name again? I heard you used to be a mechanic?"
The veteran knelt down hurriedly. "This lowly one is called Roger, they call me Old Roger … May I know why the leader is looking for me? Is the food not to your taste?"
"I'm not looking for you. Someone is looking for you." The leader frowned and stepped aside.
The next moment, Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, and Tang Xiaoxi appeared in front of Old Roger. Old Roger was so excited that he almost breathed his last. He had seen the Dark Moon Queen more than once, but it was all from afar. He had never seen the Dark Moon Queen up close. He was so excited that he was about to explode.
"This lowly Roger greets Your Majesty …" He knelt down hurriedly and kowtowed repeatedly.
Qin Yin closed her eyes and held Lin Muyu's hand with a smile. "No need to be so polite. I'm not the one looking for you. It's my Big Brother Yu who's looking for you."
"Oh? It's Your Highness Yu … "Old Roger kowtowed again." May I know what Your Highness Yu needs? "
Lin Muyu helped him up and said, "You don't have to be so polite. Logically speaking, I should call you an old driver! Oh, that's not right. I should call you Old Master! "
Old Roger was flattered: "Your Highness Yu, why are you looking for me?"
"You're a mechanic?"
"Yes, I've been a mechanic for a few years. During the Interstellar War, I followed the Federal Empire's fleet to battle once … But that time, it was too tragic. We encountered an army led by two God Emperors from the Northern Heaven Realm. The entire fleet disappeared in an instant."
"An entire interstellar fleet can't defeat two God Emperors?"
"Those are two God Emperors above the 90th level of heaven. Godly State experts can also survive in the universe and don't have to worry about air. Furthermore, they can travel through space freely and can easily destroy our defense shield and avoid the attacks of the particle cannons. Even the laser plasma can't penetrate their God Wall. All they need to do is to destroy the pressure system of each battleship and they can make us fall apart."
Saying that, Old Roger sighed: "The gap between mortals and Gods is impossible to measure."
"What about thermonuclear weapons?" Lin Muyu thought of the trump cards of many powerful countries on Earth.
Old Roger couldn't help but smile: "If Your Highness Yu thinks that thermonuclear weapons can penetrate the God Wall, then you're lying to yourself. Moreover, the bodies of God State experts have been tempered and forged. Radiation is useless to them … But the technology of thermonuclear weapons is rarely achieved. How would Your Highness Yu know about it?"
"My hometown is Earth, a planet in the Milky Way Galaxy."
"Earth?" Old Roger frowned: "I think I've heard of it. That galaxy is still in the middle stage of development. Because of its remote location, it has avoided all the galactic wars. What a lucky person. However … If Your Highness Yu really comes from Earth, then no one will dare to invade this planet in the future."
"Let's get back to business."
Lin Muyu said: "I want you to help me improve these origin rifles and other weapons to deal with the Dragon Knights and the Gods of the Western Divine Realm."
Old Roger was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smile: "Your Highness Yu, this lowly one has also said that an entire fleet can't do anything to two God Emperors. How can these mere origin rifles deal with the experts of the Western Divine Realm?"
"That's because you don't know about the Demon Heart Stone."
"Demon Heart Stone?"
"Yes, the substance contained in this stone is the nemesis of God State experts. Once it enters the bloodline, it will restrict God Power. This is what I want you to do. Extract the element from the Demon Heart Stone and add it to your firearms. Find a way to deal with the God State experts."
As she spoke, Lin Muyu spread out her hands and smiled: "If you have any needs, just tell us. We will try our best to satisfy you."
Old Roger frowned: "This lowly one can try, but I can't guarantee success. After all, the Shattered Cauldron Realm is still a low-level developed planet. Not to mention laser weapons, it doesn't even have a steam engine. To put it bluntly, I can't even build a reactor. I can only modify and improve our current weapons. It's hard to say whether it will succeed or not."
"Yes, I understand."
Lin Muyu nodded: "Let's go, I will bring you to meet the people of the Imperial Weapons Department. We will talk after you meet them."
"Yes!"
… …
The more than a hundred people of the Weapons Department of the Eastern Capital, Winter Frost City, were completely preserved. In order to protect them, at least thousands of imperial soldiers were sacrificed. However, Lin Muyu also knew that it was all worth it. For the safety of Qin Ziling and the others, it was worth it no matter how many people were sacrificed.
Late at night, Lin Muyu introduced Old Roger to Qin Ziling. This made Qin Ziling feel as if he had obtained a treasure. In the middle of the night, he gathered all the officials of the Weapons Department for a meeting. Presumably, they would not be able to sleep tonight.
They worked until late at night, and when they finally finished, it was almost dawn. Lin Muyu brought the two beauties back to the small courtyard to rest. As they walked slowly along the corridor, her mood was much more relaxed. She said with a smile: "The matter of the Ministry of National Defense has finally been settled. Next, it will depend on the results of the research."
"What is the Ministry of National Defense? I don't understand …" Tang Xiaoxi pouted.
"You will understand in the future."
Lin Muyu took a deep breath and said: "Everyone rest well. Wake up at noon. There may be new military intelligence sent from afar in the afternoon. After Ling Han City is taken, we will go to Ling Han City to rest for two days. Moreover, we will begin to gather troops and prepare to rush to Cangnan Province."
"Yes!"
… …
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and a letter flew to Dragon Slaying Pass. Under the siege of Xu Jiantao, Ling Han City, the capital of Ling Sky Province, had finally been reclaimed and returned to the embrace of the empire!
At noon, Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, and Tang Xiaoxi brought Tarilyn and the others to Ling Han City.
Before the three entered the city, they saw the soldiers under Xu Jiantao maintaining order in the city. The entire east wall of Ling Han City had been severely damaged, with many places collapsing. Even the entire east wall tower had been razed to the ground.
Qin Yin's eyes slightly reddened: "Back then, the Calm Sea Marquis, Yao Yuan, died tragically in battle here. He died at the hands of Duo La."
"Duo La …"
Lin Muyu's sword-like eyebrows were tightly locked: "This woman is also Luo Xin's murderer. Xiao Xi was almost injured by her hands. We must go and kill this vicious woman."
"Yes."
Qin Yin said with concern: "Your injuries have not fully healed yet. Let's talk about it after you have recovered. Duo La has two divine weapons in her hands. One is the Burgos Spear, the other is the Dagger of Time. Both are very powerful. The Burgos Spear can pierce through the God Wall, and the Dagger of Time can control time. Before we have divine weapons of the same level, any one of us will be in danger against Duo La."
"Yes." Tang Xiaoxi nodded: "That Duo La can not only delay the opponent's movements in a small area, but she can also speed up her own attacks, making it impossible to defend against. I have already suffered in her hands."
Lin Muyu said: "Fortunately, Xiao Xi is fine. This Duo La …"
"Let's not talk about her. Let's enter the city."
"Yes."
… …
Xu Jiantao, Wei Chou, and the others were already kneeling outside the city.
When Qin Yin led Lin Muyu, Tang Xiaoxi, and the others into the city, the commoners of Ling Han City also knelt together to pay their respects to the former empress.
At this point in time, Qin Yin had already changed into a flowing cloud dress. Even though she wasn't wearing the empress's crown, she still gave off an unconcealable noble aura. Furthermore, Xu Jiantao had already posted the announcement of the empress's arrival in the city. At this point in time, even the empire's generals who were adept at warfare were kneeling down. This was enough to show how noble this young lady's status was.
Qin Yin closed her eyes and slowly walked on the main street of the city. She could faintly smell the stench of blood on the ground. The Blackstone Empire was cruel and tyrannical. She really didn't know how these commoners managed to survive under the rule of the Blackstone Empire for two and a half months.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
All the generals and commoners shouted in unison.
Qin Yin was slightly taken aback. She infused her divine power into her heavenly voice and said, "Everyone has suffered. The Qin Family came late and caused everyone to suffer so much. But in the future, it will not happen again. As long as the Qin Family exists, Ling Han City will exist!"
The commoners all kowtowed.
Wei Chou led the warhorses in front and let Qin Yin, Lin Muyu, and the others get on. Otherwise, it would probably take two hours to reach the governor's residence. However, Qin Yin didn't gallop wildly on the horse. Instead, she walked slowly and spent a full hour to reach the governor's residence. She knew that she had to let the commoners of Ling Han City see her so that they would have hope again.
The invaders had invaded and swallowed up half of the empire's territory. If there was no faith, no one would be able to continue working hard.
Wei Chou urged his horse and followed closely beside Lin Muyu. He reported the situation of the battle, "Xiang Yu's troops have already killed their way to Dongtian Prefecture and will soon reach the east coast. The Blackstone Empire has more than two hundred thousand soldiers, and it is already not bad if only fifty thousand are left. Their era of rule in the Lingkong Province is over."
"Good, very good."
"Did you set fire to their warships so that they have nowhere to go?"
"No, your subordinate and Duke Yu both miscalculated. We didn't think of this move."
"It's alright, I didn't think of it either." Lin Muyu rubbed her nose.
Wei Chou grinned and didn't say anything.
