So satisfying! The Great Demon King wiped out everyone equally!

Above the court

The Emperor said, “Now that the Tianwu Kingdom and the Xilan Kingdom have joined forces to invade, I am determined to personally lead the expedition to protect my country and its people.”

These words caused an uproar among the officials. Li Yaoguang immediately stepped forward, "Father, you must not! You are too old to lead an expedition in person. Your son is willing to lead the troops to share your burden."

Xie Wu, who was standing nearby, also stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, how can women be involved in warfare? Moreover, Your Majesty's health is of utmost importance and you should not take such risks. Your humble servant is willing to lead the troops into battle and will surely be able to defeat the enemy."

Li Yaoguang glanced at Xie Wu, her eyes full of disdain, and said coldly, "General Xie, you are mistaken. The situation is critical now, so why should there be any distinction between men and women? Besides, I, the Crown Princess, have been well-versed in military strategy since childhood and have the ambition to serve my country. Why can't I go to war?"

Xie Wu frowned, about to retort, but Li Yaoguang ignored him and turned to the emperor, pleading again, "Father, I implore you to allow me to lead troops into battle, and I request that Princess Wuling be taken along. I observe that Xie Zhaohua is highly skilled in martial arts and possesses military talent, which will surely be of great help to our army."

Upon hearing this, Xie Wu's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you must not! I, Zhao Hua, am but a woman. Although I may have some cleverness, how can matters on the battlefield be treated lightly?"

The emperor hesitated for a moment, not yet expressing his opinion. Li Yaoguang said urgently, "Father, I am confident that I can lead the soldiers to victory. Please trust me and grant my request."

Looking into Li Yaoguang's determined eyes, and recalling Li Yaoguang's path of rebellion in his previous life, the emperor naturally knew how formidable Li Yaoguang was.

"Very well, I grant you permission to lead the troops into battle. As for Xie Zhaohua, if she is willing, she may accompany you."

Soon, Li Yaoguang and Canglan led 300,000 soldiers on a grand march towards the border. However, most of the soldiers were Xie Wu's former confidants and naturally wouldn't truly obey Canglan's orders. Not long after they set off, whispers began to circulate within the ranks.

"Hmph, two women leading us to war? Isn't that a joke? Women should stay at home to take care of their husbands and children, not go to the battlefield."

"It's laughable for grown men to go to war with women. If word gets out, how will we ever face anyone again?"

"Women going to the battlefield are just causing trouble. If we lose, it'll all be their fault. We men's lives can't be wasted like that."

"I really don't know what the Emperor was thinking, letting two women command us. Isn't this pushing us into a fire pit? What do women know about fighting? They probably can't even hold a knife properly."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding soldiers burst into laughter.

Canglan silently walked up behind them, kicked the soldier with the worst laugh by the riverbank, sending him flying straight into the river and crashing into a rock, knocking him unconscious.

Before anyone could react, without a word, he punched a burly man with a thick beard to the ground, grabbed his braid, and slammed his face against the ground repeatedly, cursing, "I can't hold a knife properly, huh? You son of a bitch, if you say another word to my father, I'll kill you right here." After slamming him, he threw him into the river.

At this moment, there was a deathly silence...

Even Li Yaoguang was shocked by Cang Lan. She didn't expect her to be so violent. She liked it!

Cang Lan roared, "Come on, I'll give you a chance. Anyone who disagrees with me, step forward now!"

The soldiers stood frozen in shock, staring at Cang Lan with utter terror. Just moments before, they had been laughing and mocking him mercilessly; now, they dared not utter a sound.

A senior veteran stepped forward and said, "We have witnessed the general's might today. From now on, on the battlefield, we will obey General Xie's orders without hesitation." The other soldiers also quickly followed suit, saying, "We are willing to obey General Xie's command and fight bravely to protect our country."

After this battle, Li Yaoguang realized that for a woman to ascend the throne, intelligence alone was far from enough; she also needed absolute military support.

Women serving in the military, holding official positions, and engaging in business all contribute to improving women's status and achieving a balance of power between men and women.

……

When Canglan and Li Yaoguang arrived at the border, it was already afternoon. A small battle had just ended that day, and everyone thought that Tianwu Kingdom would not launch a second attack. However, Tianwu Kingdom launched a surprise attack that night.

"What a bunch of bastards, they like to play dirty tricks, don't they!" Cang Lan immediately led a small team out.

outside the city gate

The enemy was firing arrows at Cang Lan De's squad, and the squad was immediately reduced to more than half its strength. Seeing that they could not advance, Cang Lan De directly picked up his submachine gun and began to fire at the burly men.

"Da da da da da da..."

"I told you to ambush me, you think you can take advantage of your numbers, huh! I'll shoot you all dead! Aaaaaaah!"

Bullets rained down like a storm, instantly turning the enemy soldiers into bloody carcasses. Some were hit in the head, their skulls exploding instantly, splattering red and white matter everywhere;

Seeing this, the enemy grabbed dead corpses and tied them in front of them before continuing their attack.

Canglan didn't tolerate them. Without saying a word, she took out several grenades from her spatial storage, bit off the pins, and threw them forcefully towards the densely packed enemy forces.

The grenade traced an arc through the air, followed by a deafening explosion. "Boom!" Flames shot into the sky, and the powerful shockwave instantly blew away the surrounding enemy soldiers, sending limbs and severed bodies flying everywhere.

Those enemy soldiers who hadn't been killed by the explosion were also shaken by the loud noise, bleeding from all seven orifices and writhing on the ground in agony.

In no time, the army of several thousand men was either dead or fled...

Little White was so frightened by this scene that it stopped wagging its tail. [Host, if those people see your weapon, they'll treat you like an outsider and kill you!]

Cang Lan's lips curled up slightly, and his eyes glowed red. "Then why don't we just kill them too? Hahahaha, hahahaha."

The soldiers who fought alongside Cang Lan were not afraid at all; in fact, they were quite excited. While cleaning up the enemy's weapons, they discussed the weapons that Cang Lan had just used.

Xiao Bai, startled by Cang Lan's maniacal laughter, quickly returned to her own space.

Immediately, Canglan turned around and returned to normal. Thinking about her recent outburst, she knew that it was because the magic power in her body had temporarily overcome the divine power in her body, which caused her to go berserk.

Just then, Little White popped up again, saying, "[Host, I was just really scared.]"

Cang Lan: "What are you scared of? Even if I'm crazy, I know what I'm doing!"
