Chapter 5


    Whats happening?


    Why did the earth suddenly shake? Could it be a dragon turning over beneath us?


    That shouldnt be possible


    The 200,000-strong army of the Mo Kingdom was thrown into chaos.


    Just then, at the heart of the iron mine, there was a sudden, thunderous roar. The ground split open and copsed downward, forming a massive pit. Dust swiftly rose into the air, obscuring the sun and darkening the sky.


    However, this was far from over; the copse rapidly spread from the inside out.


    It was as if the earth had opened a gaping maw, devouring everything from the outside world.


    Boom, rumble, rumble


    The army of the Mo Kingdom panicked!


    Disaster strikes, the iron mine has copsed!


    The copse is so fast, run for your lives! If we dont run now, well be dead!


    Run Ah! Help!


    His Highness the Crown Prince of Mo Kingdom, who was standing on the periphery, was also thrown into panic at this moment.


    Your Highness, the iron mine has suddenly copsed, the situation is extremely critical, we must escape quickly!


    The Crown Prince of Mo Kingdom did not hesitate and nodded: Right, lets hurry!


    Your Highness, riding horses is too slow, allow me to carry you!


    Immediately, an Innate expert stepped forward, hoisted the Crown Prince of Mo Kingdom onto his back, and dashed swiftly towards the outside.


    At that moment, the entire Mo Kingdoms army was fleeing for their lives without a care.


    However, their speed of escape was no match for the speed of the mountain copsing. More and more soldiers and horses, unable to run fast enough, were swallowed by the deep pit, their fate unknown.


    The rumbling noise continued as if thunder was striking from the heavens.


    Amidst this tremendous din, there were cries for help filled with despair.


    But now, everyone was only concerned with saving their own lives, who could spare a thought for others?


    Thus, more and more people were consumed.


    About half an hourter, it all came to an end.


    The entire mountain had vanished, leaving only dust swirling in the air.


    The Crown Prince of the Mo Kingdom looked around at the few remaining people and the immense pit before him, his face pale and drained of strength, he copsed, muttering, Its over! Everything is over!


    After uttering those words, he fainted.


    Your Highness!


    Wake up, please, Your Highness!


    This event spread rapidly throughout thend, leaving everyone in the world stunned.


    The iron ore mine copsed, burying 200,000 troops of the Mo Kingdom?


    Thisnd was only ceded less than a day ago, and such a bizarre incident has already urred!


    The Mo Kingdom has suffered a devastating loss. They paid so much in gold, silver, and jewels, not to mention the most beautiful woman of the Mo Kingdom, and in the end, they gained nothing but lost 200,000 troops! It is said that the Crown Prince of the Mo Kingdom fainted on the spot!


    How could he not faint? 200,000 soldiers gone just like thatwhat country could bear such a loss?


    Indeed, the total military strength of the Mo Kingdom is only 600,000!


    F*ck! With this move, the Xia Kingdom has made a killing!


    Indeed, theyve struck it rich! Theyve got money, food, and beautiful women, and even the threat at the border has been eliminated. Could it be that the heavens are favoring the Xia Kingdom?


    This luck is truly defying the heavens!


    The entire Mo Kingdom is in mourning, while the Xia Kingdom is in jubtion.


    Within the Xia Kingdoms court, officials sing praises and extol virtues.


    Your Majesty, it is said that just as the 200,000-strong army of the Mo Kingdom had settled into the iron mine, a copse urred! Because it happened so swiftly, not a single one of the 200,000 soldiers of the Mo Kingdom managed to escape; they all perished and were buried there!


    In the end, only the Mo Kingdoms Crown Prince and a few generals managed to flee!


    The threat from Mo Kingdom has been greatly diminished!


    Your Majesty, what does this indicate? It indicates that Heaven favors Xia Kingdom, that the heavens themselves are protecting us!


    Heaven favors Xia Kingdom? It is clearly Heaven favors Your Majesty!


    You are right, it is clearly Heaven favoring Your Majesty!


    May Heaven bless Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!


    ttery came rolling in, puffing Lin Beifan up until he was quite disoriented.


    And so, Lin Beifan couldnt help butugh proudly, Haha My dear officials, what you say is true, but lets not speak of it anymore! I am an upright person, a noble person, someone who has risen above base interests, and I cant stand ttery and sycophantic praise! So, in the future, pay attention and just give a littlepliment, that will suffice. Too much and I cant take it, haha!


    The officials bowed their heads and averted their eyes, their hearts filled with sneers.


    Shit!


    He dares to call himself an upright person!


    A noble person!


    Someone who has risen above base interests!


    And ims he cant stand ttery and sycophantic praise


    Your damn mouth is twisted in such a grin that you cant even open your eyes!


    First, straighten out that expression on your face before you say that to us!


    However, faced with Lin Beifan, who is the Emperor, they could only say anxiously, Yes, Your Majesty!


    Lin Beifanughed triumphantly, Now, who dares to say that I favor beauties over the state? Who dares to call me a foolish emperor? Clearly, I have far-sighted wisdom, having seen through the true worth of the iron mine long ago. Thats why I ceded thatnd, to lure the enemy into a trap! Now, do you understand the painstaking efforts Ive made? Haha


    The officials sneered in their hearts once again.


    I dont believe you for a second!


    Its clear that it was your lust for beauty that led you to cede thend!


    But as it turned out, it was a blessing in disguise!


    Such dumb luck!!!


    His Majesty is wise! the officials once again said in unison.


    Lin Beifan continued tough proudly: Haha


    The entire court was filled with his smug and arrogantughter.


    The officials were feeling so ufortable inside, its better left unsaid.


    Afterughing, Lin Beifan cleared his throat and said with all seriousness, Alright, its time to discuss serious matters! Now, the Mo Kingdom has lost 200,000 troops, leaving their national defense vulnerable. This is a godsend opportunity for our Xia Kingdom! I have decided to dispatch 200,000 troops to invade the Mo Kingdom, to conquer cities and expand our territory! My loyal ministers, what are your thoughts?<hr>
