They played around and fooled around for quite a while.

The Western Kingdom Emperor almost summoned his daughter to compete in beauty.

Wang Wen finally relented.

Pointing at the eunuch, he told the emperor that if he defeated him, he wouldn't have to abdicate.

He also told the eunuchs that if he defeated the emperor, he would ascend to the throne.

Without saying a word, the two charged at each other and fought for their lives.

In the end, the emperor's great fortune prevailed, and he managed to break the eunuch's neck at the cost of his own ear.

Wang Wen saw a reflection of herself in the emperor's struggle for survival.

My heart softened.

Just ask him to write a letter of surrender.

Upon learning that he would not have to abdicate but only surrender, the Western Kingdom Emperor was overjoyed.

On the other side, Lüqiu Ting was also very happy to learn that he would not have to take the position.

He was genuinely afraid that this mad immortal would go insane and insist on making him the emperor of the Western Kingdom. Surrendering to the enemy was already shameful, but seizing the throne would surely bring him a death sentence.

All I want is to retire from the military and live a peaceful old age after this, never again getting involved in the rights and wrongs of this mundane world.

This is exhausting.

As a result, Wang Wen did not let him off the hook, telling him to stay here with his group of guards to take care of the emperor and not let the situation get out of control. He added that someone would be sent over later to discuss the surrender.

Sweating profusely, Lüqiu Ting said to Wang Wen, "It's not that Zhi Lu is unwilling, but that we are powerless. It's simply a pipe dream for my few hundred brothers to defend Broad Longevity Palace. The moment you leave, we'll be riddled with crossbow bolts."

Wang Wen searched through the aircraft's storage area for a while.

They found that there were no suitable tools that could be used at this moment.

He thought about it.

Try using Scepter to swear an oath and conjure a lightweight machine gun with minimal recoil.

The energy consumed is minimal.

Wang Wen discovered a new test item.

So they began to test the Scepter creation incessantly.

Creating things using vows and energy is much more complicated than creating things out of thin air using the Five-Fold Enlightenment.

All details need to be clearly stated in the oath.

You can't just create something on a whim.

Many essential conditions must be met; otherwise, the resulting weapon will be incomplete and unusable.

Moreover, this manufacturing process is irreversible.

In other words, once created, it becomes a physical object and cannot dissipate like the creations made out of thin air by the Five-Fold Enlightenment.

If there are pieces of scrap metal missing limbs, you can only accept them by refusing to accept them.

With Zhu Xingguo not around, there's nowhere to sell this scrap metal, carrying it around is too troublesome, and using an oath to dispose of it would just be a waste of energy.

They simply found a box in the emperor's bedroom and used it as a trash can, throwing all the failed tests in and ignoring them.

but.

Compared to the creation of things out of thin air by the Five-Fold Enlightenment, the creation by the Scepter has an irreplaceable and terrifying advantage.

That is, informational superiority.

Aside from overly complex terms like "infinite," " Eternity," and "damageless," a weapon can be crafted almost like a "magical" item.

There is no recoil.

A small ammunition box, about the size of a dictionary, can hold tens of thousands of bullets.

The gun body is also designed to withstand the continuous firing of tens of thousands of bullets without overheating and exploding.

There were also some other minor adjustments.

Aside from the excessive use of overly complex terms, this was the final test result that satisfied Wang Wen and met the few energy consumption standards.

A lightweight machine gun that has "no recoil," "comes with 10,000 bullets," "weighs only one kilogram," and "can withstand 10,000 consecutive shots without exploding" can be manufactured with only one ten-thousandth of the energy required, and in a very short time of just a few seconds.

Wang Wen picked up the light machine gun and tested its feel.

not bad.

He then fired a few more shots at the eunuch's corpse to test the power.

The gunshot startled everyone around.

Then, the corpses far away suddenly came to life and started moving.

It's trembling.

The crowd was so frightened that they moved far away and stood close to the wall.

Wang Wen went over to check the effect and found that the power was quite good; several shots in a row could break bones.

This kind of power would have been enough to sweep everything away in the era of cold weapons.

The prerequisite is not being hit by heavy weapons such as giant crossbows.

He spent a few minutes making a hundred light machine guns and distributed them to Lüqiu Ting and his guards, giving them a brief demonstration of how to use them.

Let them practice on the corpses of eunuchs.

Tell Lüqiu Ting to stay close to the emperor so that the giant crossbows have no chance to take advantage. As long as they are close to the emperor, the giant crossbows will not dare to fire indiscriminately. As for the other small fry who dare to enter the palace, they can be shot. There will basically be no problem.

That concludes the explanation.

Seeing that everyone else picked up the gun relatively quickly.

Wang Wen, carrying the young prince, the middle-aged martial saint, and ten soldiers from the border, rose from the ground and rushed out of the palace gates.

He thought that since he now had light machine guns, he should send a few to Xue Chong's side as well.

After all, even the emperors of fallen kingdoms knew that it was not scarcity that was a problem, but inequality; those they valued should not be treated unfairly.

So they flew directly from the Western Kingdom to the Northern Kingdom.

Along the way, they also manufactured over a hundred light machine guns with tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition, ensuring that Xue Chong could fire until he was sick of it.

It will take about two hours.

Wang Wen returned to the Northern Kingdom's palace.

Chaos reigned below.

The place was packed with people.

The emperor's position was so densely packed that it looked like ants carrying cockroaches, crawling up, down, left, and right.

Wang Wen's heart skipped a beat, realizing something was wrong.

The people who take over in this dynasty certainly won't arrive so quickly.

Leaving only Xue Chong ten men here without giving them any weapons is really inappropriate.

Thinking about this...

He quickly landed first.

Upon reaching the palace gate, it was clear that the area had been thoroughly ravaged by bloodshed.

The soldiers from the Northern Kingdom seemed to have realized that Xue Chong only dared to threaten the emperor with a knife to his neck but did not actually dare to strike, so their attacks became very fierce.

Aside from the fact that they dared not use bows and arrows or other heavy weapons for fear of injuring the emperor.

They're willing to use any weapon, whether it's a knife, spear, or club, in close combat.

Some people simply resorted to brute force, willing to take several cuts to force Xue Chong and his group to retreat.

Everyone knew that once they retreated from the narrow space of the palace gate and entered the palace, the Northern Kingdom soldiers could unleash their full potential and fully utilize their numerical advantage.

Therefore, Xue Chong and his group fought desperately to defend the palace gates.

In the few hours that Wang Wen was gone, all eleven people, including Xue Chong, were dead, covered in blood and missing limbs.

In the corner by the door, two more people were already dead, lifeless, for an unknown period of time.

As for the Northern Kingdom soldiers outside the gate, since the wounded and dead were moved away in time, the number of casualties was not discernible.

However, judging from the amount of blood on the ground, it was clear that Xue Chong and his group alone could not have accumulated such a large amount.

Wang Wen saw it clearly.

In fact, most of the palace roof had already been demolished. If he had arrived even a little later, it wouldn't have mattered whether Xue Chong and the others were guarding the palace gates or not.

They broke into the palace directly from the top of the roof, flanking it from both sides.

The group of eleven people were completely defenseless and died instantly.

Wang Wen waved her hand, sending everyone on the roof flying.

Then separate the crowd fighting fiercely at the palace gate.

He appeared in front of Xue Chong, holding a light machine gun in each hand.

Xue Chong's face was no longer the original skin color it once was; it was covered in blood. There was a huge wound on his forehead that touched his brow, almost touching his right eye.

He didn't even bother with bandaging.

He grabbed a handful of mud, slapped it on his forehead, and continued fighting.

Wang Wen sighed inwardly, picked up two machine guns, turned around, and opened fire on the Northern Kingdom soldiers outside the palace gate.

Those soldiers must have arrived later and didn't recognize Wang Wen.

In their bloodlust, they didn't care what was falling from the sky.

All I knew was that I was inexplicably pushed away.

Seeing that he hadn't sustained any additional injuries, he grabbed his weapon and charged forward again.

Two light machine guns spat fire.

Bullets leaked out like water.

Wang Wen wanted to test for herself whether, under the current circumstances, this light machine gun made from Scepter could actually repel the madmen.
