Doomsday Code

Chapter 999 Duolong's Whitewashing Plan

Although Dean didn't know what new plans Chen Cheng had, he still respectfully accepted the order.

Dean then sent a messenger from the military camp to deliver a message summoning Bourne and the others to a meeting.

This time, Chen Cheng is determined to give the five kingdoms a big surprise. When their armies are assembled next spring, he will give them a small shock by causing trouble in their own backyard.

Fortunately, Bourne and his men were all extremely capable, and they flew back immediately after receiving the order.

After everyone was seated, Chen Cheng began to recount his entire journey to the Northern Territory.

Upon hearing that the Great Wall Army was fighting alone and was being harassed by the five great kingdoms, who even tried to trap and kill them, the old King of Pingbei's face turned red with anger.

"How dare they? Don't these beasts know that the Great Wall Army is protecting their current decadent lifestyle?"

The Prince of Pingbei was furious and couldn't help but interrupt Chen Cheng's story, slamming his fist on the table in indignation.

Dean, who was beside him, helped the old man to sit down. After he calmed down a bit, Dean apologized to Chen Cheng with tears in his eyes:

"Your Majesty, it was this old minister who lost his composure."

"Oh, there's no need for that. When I first saw these things, I felt the same way as Uncle, wishing I could tear them apart and skin them alive."

Chen Cheng had anticipated the Prince of Pingbei's emotions, so he did not blame him.

He then continued to tell everyone about his subsequent journey beyond the Great Wall with Kui Niu and the others.

Upon hearing that Kui Niu had perished together with the abyss troll, everyone in the tent fell into a deep silence.

Perhaps as soldiers, they could understand very well the belief that Kui Niu was determined to perish together with the demon, as Chen Cheng described. Although the two sides had never met, through Chen Cheng's narration, they also held Kui Niu in the highest military respect.

After a moment of silence, Chen Cheng let out a long sigh of relief, and then recounted the achievements he had made.

Although the oppressive atmosphere is no longer as intense as before, only those of them who are soldiers truly understand.

The fundamental reason for such success is the Great Wall Army's two hundred years of fighting to the death, Ye Rong's flexible approach of setting aside the prejudices between the two races and recruiting orc warriors into the army, and Kui Niu's sacrifice.

It was through everything they had that they finally met Chen Cheng, a man of unpredictable influence, which led to their victory today.

Chen Cheng essentially gave everyone a report on his work trip to the north. After everyone had recovered from his narration, he continued:

"Now that the North has been liberated, the rebels led by the five kingdoms will definitely not sit idly by."

Although they haven't made any moves yet, I think that after the House of Representatives, next spring they will definitely march north with a large army.

At that time, the best route for them to obtain all the necessary supplies, such as food and provisions, for their million-strong army would be our Northern Wilderness.

So if we are still considered rebels at that time, I believe their first battle won't be against the North, but against us.

Chen Cheng's conjecture hit the nail on the head regarding the most awkward and urgent issue in the Northern Wilderness today: the issue of identity recognition.

Having previously seized the entire Northern Wilderness, they hadn't anticipated the liberation of the Northern Territory, so their actions at that time were not wrong.

But things are different now. With the sudden appearance of the Northern Territory as an external factor, the plan naturally needs to be changed.

Fortunately, the Kingdom of Feld is not a stable one. The king has only recently ascended the throne, and the capital is embroiled in a power struggle with the church, while the surrounding vassal states are forming factions.

This provides an extra layer of protection for clearing up Beihuang's identity.

"The most urgent task now is to clear Doron's name and get him to be officially recognized by King Feldor as the true Lord of the Northern Wilderness."

The flag flying over the Northern Wilderness is still that of Count Doron. Their official explanation is that Doron, unable to bear Rusov's wanton exploitation, seized the entire Northern Wilderness while Rusov was away with his troops.

As for his most iconic artillery weapon today...

Chen Cheng wanted to expose the route of communication between the Northern Wilderness and the Kingdom of Moss in exchange for telling others that it was actually the Kingdom of Moss that saw the Kingdom of Feldor was going to take action against them, so they colluded with Duolong to rebel.

Whether or not this reason is believed, given the current situation of the King of Feldor, if he wants to secure his position and gain more political capital, he must believe it.

This has happened before in history, except that the assistance provided back then wasn't artillery or weapons, but cultivation resources.

The purpose was also to incite some nobles within the enemy country who were already hostile, so that they would break out into a major war when necessary, in order to contain some of the enemy's noble armies.

Therefore, it's understandable that the Kingdom of Mos would provide a batch of artillery to equip tens of thousands of troops in order to influence the war against the Kingdom of Feld.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the most important thing about artillery is the shells. It's plausible that the Kingdom of Moss wanted to control the number of shells to remotely control Doron.

Moreover, and this is extremely important, Chen Cheng did not allow Dean and his men to develop firearms at the beginning.

Although this musket may not seem as powerful as a cannon, there is one thing about it: in a one-on-one situation, a surprise shot can be more threatening than a cannon.

Moreover, compared to cannons, people who don't understand the subject generally assume that muskets are less difficult to manufacture than cannons. After all, people tend to think that smaller weapons are less powerful and therefore less difficult to manufacture.

Therefore, it can be said that the Kingdom of Mos did not want Doron to truly become powerful, so it did not provide them with muskets, fearing that they would betray the Kingdom of Feld and allow the Kingdom of Feld to imitate them.

After Chen Cheng shared his thoughts, everyone in the tent began to whisper among themselves.

"Although this argument will have many flaws, it will take them a year or two to figure them out."

We won't need a year or two, at most half a year, then we'll achieve our goal.

After listening, Yurikin, the chief technical expert, stood up and spoke.

Once everyone heard that Yurikin, the technical master, had spoken, and that there were no major problems with the overall plan, they all voted to approve it.

"It's easy for us to discuss this, but what about the Kingdom of Moss? Will they cooperate with us in implementing this plan?"

At this point, Duolong, who was also present, raised his hand and spoke.

Now, Dorron has truly integrated into Dean and the others. His thinking has undergone a significant change, and with Bourne's guidance, he now actively speaks out and offers his own insights on many matters, both big and small.

“I’ll handle this. My trip south this time is time-sensitive and has a heavy mission, so I can’t stay in the Northern Wilderness any longer. That’s why I had you all come here for a meeting.”

After the meeting, I'll rest for one night and then leave.
