I Became a Sugar Mama to an Ancient General during a Famine! - Chapter 24 Part 2

Before leaving, Xiao Hua repeatedly confirmed Ye Mumu wouldn’t harm anyone, then left the warehouse.

Even after leaving, he was still uneasy. He parked his car in a hidden spot to watch Ye Mumu transport the explosives.

Now that he had the money, he valued his life even more and needed to cover his tracks completely.

*

On the city wall, Zhan Chengyin was still in shock at the immense power of explosives shown in the video.

Explosives that could demolish skyscrapers.

Such enormous buildings – boom boom boom... a ring of explosions, and the skyscraper was instantly reduced to rubble.

He and his officers all crowded around the tablet, eyes wide as drums, watching the shocking scene.

They had thought steel weapons, special swords, armor, and siege engines were the limit of the divine realm’s capabilities.

Until they saw the video of towering skyscrapers collapsing into dust in an instant.

If the divine realm had such objects, not only could they level mountains, they might even be able to send the barbarians to the heavens.

In a flash, everyone was excited.

“General, this divine object could kill thousands of enemies!”

“If we had this, what would we fear from 300,000 barbarians? One blast could wipe them out.”

“Should we pray to the gods to bestow explosives on the Zhan army? Such a lethal weapon would be far more useful than siege engines.”

“Indeed! Even if the barbarian army is at our gates, with this divine object, the more that come, the more will die!”

Zhan Chengyin clenched his fists tightly, his heart deeply shaken.

So this was what the divine realm was like?

Tall buildings everywhere, people living in the clouds.

Wide roads lined with flowers.

Vehicles that weren’t horse-drawn carriages, but box-shaped things faster than horses.

He had previously praised the tricycle sent by the gods as ingeniously crafted.

Compared to the cars on the road, the tricycle was just a basic cargo vehicle. He didn’t see anyone riding them on the main streets.

The gap between his world and the divine realm was truly vast.

After his amazement passed, Zhan Chengyin immediately ordered:

“Song Duo, come with me to the cave entrance. The rest guard the city gate!”

Chen Kui wanted to follow, but seeing Zhan Chengyin’s serious expression, he kept quiet.

The group mounted their horses and rode to the cave entrance.

Zhao Dazhong was leading a hundred men stationed there. He knelt and reported, “General, all is normal inside the cave.”

“We’ve piled up wood and set a fire at the cave entrance.”

The enemy was wary of the firelight and hadn’t attacked immediately, fearing archers inside.

He nodded and entered the cave, messaging Ye Mumu: 「Song Duo, Chen Wu and I have entered the cave.」

Ye Mumu replied:「 Go to the center of the cave. Find a suitable place for the explosives. Remember, place one every 5 or 10 meters, connected by fuses.」

When they reached deep into the cave, almost at the exit, Zhan Chengyin told Ye Mumu: 「We’re here!」

Ye Mumu sent a long coil of fuse.

A package of explosives weighing several kilograms landed steadily on the ground.

Zhan Chengyin and Song Duo connected the fuses, while Chen Wu ordered the archers to aim at the cave entrance, ready to shoot anyone who appeared.

After they set up one explosive charge, they continued laying the fuse. About 5 meters later, Ye Mumu sent more explosives.

In half an hour, half the warehouse of explosives was used up as they laid charges to the entrance.

Ye Mumu said:「 Have someone light the fuse with a torch. Everyone else retreat several kilometers and take cover behind a mountain.

Leave the fuse at the entrance long. Whoever lights it should run immediately after lighting. Take cover as soon as it burns into the cave!」

Zhan Chengyin ordered the men to retreat.

As Chen Wu volunteered to light the fuse…

A soldier rode up on horseback, shouting: “General, Luo Ge has begun attacking the city!”
