Qi Guangyi and his cavalry stopped in front of an empty village. Since they had left Yunzhou, they had been searching for disaster victims in Jizhou and guiding them to Yunzhou and Qingzhou.

"Your Highness, is this really for the Physics Academy?" Inside the Bowen Academy, Lin Wentao asked in an excited voice. The students of the Physics Academy were flushed with excitement as they looked at the fifty thousand taels of silver notes in Xiao Ming’s hands.

Lin froze, momentarily stunned and unsure of what to do. “What are you standing there for? If that balloon floats away, I’m not making you another one,” Xiao Ming scolded with a sharp glare. At that, Lin…

Kuha’s eyes were bloodshot, his ears filled with the screams of his dying men. He had lost. Utterly and completely defeated. At this moment, he finally understood the hopelessness the soldiers of Great Yu must have felt when they were surrounded by his own forces. Yet beyond fear, what overwhelmed him was shock—shock at those fire-spewing, smoke-belching weapons, at those strange wagons. Why had their unstoppable charge, their hallmark of invincibility, been torn apart like paper before the Qingzhou…

Niu Ben stood calmly, waiting for Kuha to arrive. Upon learning that the barbarians were approaching Yunzhou, he had immediately ordered the evacuation of all civilians outside the city.

After issuing that command, Niu Ben gained a deep appreciation for the role of the militia and production brigades among the people. These two institutions…
