Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

In the past half-month, she had watched the soldiers of the North Country use cannons, always feeling very uneasy. It wasn't that she sympathized with the Barbarian Tribe being bombarded; she was just worried that one day Lu Chen would turn the cannons towards Mysterious Moon Palace.

Although the power of the cannons was not as great as the Divine Artifacts of Mysterious Moon Palace, the fact that cannons could be manufactured and had a vast quantity of ammunition was undeniable.

The Divine Artifacts of Mysterious Moon Palace could not be utilized a second time without knowing how long they would need to be set aside after use, and their usage conditions were very stringent; they simply could not withstand so many attacks from cannons.

Lu Chen continued speaking to Mu Changtian and the others, "After the battle begins tonight, the cannons will first target the Barbarian Tribe's camp and bombard them for half an hour; then the cavalry will chase down those Barbarian Tribe soldiers who have not fled too far."

"Alright, everyone go and get ready."

"Yes, Prince!"

Subsequently, the Military Generals left the room to prepare for tonight's operations.

At the same time.

After attacking the city for a day, the Barbarian Tribe soldiers were very tired and had begun to rest.

They were still dreaming that once the terrifying iron spheres of Ningbei City were depleted, they would storm into Ningbei City to massacre and plunder.

At this moment, the Barbarian Tribe soldiers were unaware that the soldiers of North Country in Ningbei City had started transporting ammunition and were preparing to set off fireworks for them at night.

The wait through the night was long, and for the first time, the soldiers of North Country felt time pass so slowly, feeling that the few hours were longer than the half-month they had spent in Ningbei City.

The soldiers could no longer contain the excitement in their hearts and were eager to give gifts to the guests from afar.

Nearly at midnight, the large army of Ningbei City mobilized, and the soldiers quickly rolled out the cannons; Prince Lu Chen even helped push a heavy cannon out.

Although the cannons were heavy, for a Martial Artist, their weight was not too great; Lu Chen, as a Grandmaster, could lift a heavy cannon crafted by North Country with ease. However, since the Artillery camp was mainly comprised of regular soldiers, the transportation of cannons was still a challenge.

But to facilitate tonight's operations, Lu Chen specifically ordered the Black Cavalry's Fifth Grade Martial Artists to transport the cannons first, and once the cannons were put in their designated spots, they were to don their heavy armor.

With the cooperation of the Black Cavalry, the cannons and ammunition were quickly transported to the designated positions.

To prevent the cannon positions from being overrun by the Barbarian Tribe soldiers who might recover from the surprise, the Artillery camp divided the cannon positions into three locations, so that if one was compromised, the others would not be affected.

There was no moonlight tonight, and everything was shrouded in darkness as if the heavens were aiding Lu Chen and his men.

The Barbarian Tribe soldiers on night patrol had not discovered North Country's movements initially, and since it was now midnight, they did not believe that North Country's soldiers would leave Ningbei City at this time, leading them to lower their guard.

Once everything was ready, a massive drumbeat suddenly shattered the silent night, followed by the deafening sound of cannon fire.

In an instant, the Barbarian Tribe's camp was a scene of blazing fire, with sleeping soldiers blasted into the air.

Soon, the thunderous sound of cannons awoke the Barbarian Tribe soldiers, and before long, the sound of cannons was mingled with the Barbarian Tribe's horn calls resounding through the darkness of the night.

The Tianqi King awoke from his sleep upon hearing the sound of cannons, and immediately left his tent. Seeing the scattered bodies of Barbarian Tribe soldiers, the Tianqi King was stunned.

At that moment, a Barbarian Tribe Master General rushed to the Tianqi King's side, "Your Majesty, it's terrible! The North Country army is attacking!!!"

The Barbarian Tribe General had barely finished speaking when a cannonball landed beside him, startling him and turning his face pale. The Tianqi King leaped and stood in front of the Barbarian Tribe General.

The next moment, the cannonball exploded, but it didn't harm the Tianqi King or the Barbarian Tribe General. Around their bodies, a golden shield appeared, blocking all the cannonball fragments outside of the golden shield.

Enraged, the Tianqi King blurted out, "Despicable Great Sum people! I will kill you all!"

He then loudly commanded, "Gather the soldiers, follow me in a counterattack!"

"Since they dare to come out, then they shall not think about going back alive!"

Amid the bombardment, some Barbarian Tribe soldiers quickly assembled and followed the Tianqi King out of the bombarded area.

After bursting out of the Barbarian Tribe's camp, the Tianqi King soon saw the cannon positions of North Country's soldiers and immediately ordered, "Follow me and attack!"

The horn calls immediately rose, "Ooo-ooooo–"

Seeing the Barbarian Tribe's cavalry had actually broken through, Mu Jingwu, who was at the cannon positions, immediately instructed the Artillery camp's cavalry to adjust the cannons' aim towards the Barbarian Tribe's cavalry.

Following that, the cannon positions under Mu Jingwu bombarded the Tianqi King's cavalry with relentless fury. In no time, men and horses were shattered to pieces, with countless Barbarian Tribe Cavalry blasted to death or sent flying.

Yet, even as cannonballs fell around the Tianqi King, he remained unscathed. Witnessing this scene from a distance, Mu Changtian could no longer restrain himself.

The Tianqi King was a Grandmaster, and if he reached the cannon positions, would any of the soldiers there survive?

But just then, Mu Jingwu addressed the soldiers of the Artillery camp, "Aim the cannons at the Tianqi King, fire!"

As his words fell, Mu Jingwu personally manned a heavy cannon and took aim at the Tianqi King's position.

The next moment, a dozen cannonballs exploded around the Tianqi King but as the smoke and flames subsided, the Tianqi King was still standing.

By then, the Tianqi King's horse had been killed, but there was still a golden shield around his body, leaving him entirely unharmed, without even a scratch.

Seeing this, Lu Chen from a distance paused for a moment.

Is this the power of a Grandmaster?

It seemed that cannonballs were indeed of little use against a Grandmaster. It appeared that he and Chen Wanrong would have to take on the Tianqi King themselves, otherwise, the Tianqi King would not only be invincible but also bring a great number of casualties to their side.

While Lu Chen was contemplating this, Mu Jingwu continued to command the soldiers at the cannon positions, aiming a dozen cannons continuously at the Tianqi King.
