Chapter 241 How is this possible?
But many more people choose to stay put.
Looking up at the warships that blotted out the sky, and seeing the cannons gleaming in the sunlight, a sense of powerlessness welled up inside them.
Lord Zhou stood on the top floor of the city lord's mansion, looking at the group of silver-white fleets in mid-air, his expression grim.
He could hear the soldiers whispering on the city wall and see them secretly looking at their phones.
But he cannot punish them, because punishing them now would only make more people side with the other side.
He could only wait, wait for his secret weapon to work, and wait for him to turn the tide.
As long as those secret weapons can kill these two martial gods, they will be more effective than anything else.
"Just wait." Lord Zhou's voice was a little hoarse. "When I slay the Martial God, you'll know who the righteous side is."
He turned and walked into the secret room, looking at the nine small swords floating in mid-air on the table, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.
That was a small sword formed from the sword energy of the Xuanyuan Sword. It ignored the Great Xia Great Dao Blessing defense and could directly damage the body of the Great Xia Martial God.
Moreover, each attack deals 30 million damage to the target's health.
Over the course of several decades, the four kings of Guanzhong spent countless resources to produce thirty such small swords.
This is also the trump card that allows them to confront the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
"Ye Feng! The four armies have a total of eight Martial Gods. I heard they're all your trusted subordinates from Jiangcheng! If they all die, you'll be heartbroken, won't you?"
"I want you to experience the pain of losing a loved one."
"Big brother! I will avenge you!"
After he finished speaking, he walked out of the secret room with six small swords.
When he returned to the rooftop of the manor, a wicked smile was already on his lips.
Cao Keyuan and Director Zhou have led the fleet to the airspace above Beihai Prefecture.
They didn't rush to order an attack; they first observed the reactions of the soldiers on the city wall.
Most people showed no sign of fighting, and some had even begun to lay down their weapons.
Cao Keyuan and Director Zhou exchanged a glance and then flew off the warship at the same time.
They were prepared to give the soldiers a chance to surrender.
Just as they flew off the warship, six whooshing sounds suddenly rang out.
The six golden sword energies were incredibly fast, striking Cao Keyuan and Director Zhou in the chest in the blink of an eye.
Lord Zhou jumped down from the platform of the city lord's mansion, still holding the flying sword launcher in his hand, his face full of smugness.
"Haha! So what if he's a God of War? He's still going to die!"
However, his laughter lasted only a moment.
Cao Keyuan looked down at his chest, then looked up at Lord Zhou, and patted his clothes to indicate that nothing had happened.
Director Zhou smiled indifferently at the Zhou family head.
Lord Zhou's smile instantly froze on his face.
"This?! This is impossible!"
"Why is nothing wrong if it can't be?"
"This is not scientifically sound!"
Cao Keyuan and Director Zhou exchanged a glance, both feeling a bit of lingering fear.
Those six sword energies came too fast; their bodies didn't have time to react.
The strangest thing is that the Great Xia Avenue Blessing had no effect whatsoever.
The six sword energies actually passed right through them.
If it weren't for the Golden Dragon Avenue Blessing Talisman given by Ye Feng activating at the crucial moment and blocking those sword energies, they would probably be dead by now.
Cao Keyuan touched the still-warm golden amulet in his pocket, feeling a surge of relief.
"The things Boss Ye gave me are really useful."
"Otherwise, I'd be finished today!"
The rest was much simpler.
Cao Keyuan and Director Zhou took direct action, and the two of them joined forces to kill Lord Zhou and several of his trusted experts.
The remaining officers and soldiers, seeing that their lord was dead and witnessing the power of the two martial gods, had no will to resist and surrendered without hesitation.
Several die-hards tried to resist, but were subdued by his men before they could even make a move.
They knew that if they continued to rebel with these brain-dead superiors, they would all perish.
It would be better to kidnap your boss and surrender; you might even be able to earn some merit.
Cao Keyuan stood at the entrance of the city lord's mansion, looking at the prisoners kneeling on the ground, and gave orders directly.
"Send people to find the accounts and material lists in the treasury and check them one by one."
"Compile all the evidence of the Zhou family's crimes related to smuggling and embezzlement, and announce it to the whole city."
"Anyone who has hidden anything they shouldn't have should hand it over now, and we'll treat them leniently. If they don't, they know the consequences themselves."
Then came the much-anticipated raid on the house.
Tens of thousands of elite troops from the Mountain and River Prefecture, along with hundreds of war puppets, began to go door-to-door, carrying lists to wipe out the remaining rebels.
Then, they would drive the War God warships to various garrison cities to take over their defenses.
After a day and a night of clearing and takeover work.
Finally, the entire Beihai Prefecture was completely pacified.
The situation in Beihai Prefecture changed overnight.
The flag was replaced with the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Flag of King Ye Feng of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the guards were replaced with the battle-hardened soldiers of Shanhe Prefecture.
The old notices on the city wall were torn down and replaced with new ones.
The proclamation issued by the King of Great Xia was stamped with Ye Feng's official seal.
The soldiers who had been worried about being purged found that they were not being harassed. Cao Keyuan simply asked them to register their names and positions, and then they went about their business.
Some ordinary people were initially very scared, but seeing that the soldiers did not burn, kill, or loot, they gradually calmed down and began to resume their normal lives.
Shops in the city have reopened, and there are more pedestrians on the streets.
Cao Keyuan stood on the city wall, looking at the city they had just captured, and let out a long breath.
Director Zhou walked over to him and handed him a cup of hot tea.
"Old Cao, the talisman Ye Feng gave us really saved our lives."
Cao Keyuan took the teacup and took a sip: "Yes, without that stuff, we would really be done for today. But it's alright."
He looked up into the distance. "The other three prefectures are probably in similar condition. Once we've completely stabilized this place, we can go back and report to Ye Feng."
"What I found during the raid was truly eye-opening!"
"Exactly! Who would have thought someone would use the fruit of the Great Dao to make a money tree?"
It turned out that when they were taking stock of the Zhou family's assets...
A money tree was discovered in a secret room.
The tree trunk was a full three zhang tall.
It is made entirely of precious alloys.
The leaves and flowers on it are made from rare gemstones and medicinal herbs.
Most importantly, those fruits were actually fruits of the Great Dao.
There were a total of sixteen.
This almost shattered the worldviews of both Cao Zhenshou and Director Zhou on the spot.
Why don't the Four Kings of Guanzhong cultivate a group of Martial Gods when they have so many Great Dao Fruits?
Why?
They simply couldn't understand it.
The Beihai Prefecture was thus pacified.
The other three prefectures of the four prefectures in Guanzhong were also taken over at the same time. They did not encounter much resistance, only sporadic resistance, which was quickly suppressed.
The power of the four prefectures in Guanzhong was completely eradicated.
The map of the Great Xia Dynasty finally revealed a glimmer of clarity amidst those corrupt and decadent city walls.
Ye Feng also received a message from Cao Zhenshou and his group in Kyoto.
Ye Feng was stunned when he saw the spoils of the annihilation of the four prefectures.
