Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294: Chapter 291: Qin Nuo’s Great Defeat

Qin Nuo and her troops had already halted at the gates of the Snow Country Imperial City, but there was still no reaction from the watchtower. This showed just how pathetic their combat strength was.

Qin Nuo grew even more disdainful.

If this were Qin City, any enemy approaching within five kilometers would be discovered by reconnaissance personnel and promptly counterattacked.

It was clear the Snow Country wasn’t as formidable as their livestreams made them out to be.

Lu Jian Country, however, had a strange feeling that something was wrong. "Miss Qin, it must be a trap. We should retreat!"

Qin Nuo rolled her eyes. "What kind of trap could there be? Even if they come out, I can use my superpower to control them and make them attack their own side!"

Hearing this, the soldiers thought it made sense.

If that was the case, then there really was nothing to be afraid of.

Besides, they had superior numbers.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from the sky.

Qin Nuo snapped her head up, only to be covered by a vast shadow.

"What is that?"

"Such huge birds! What’s going on? Has another beast tide started?"

Everyone quickly moved to cover Qin Nuo as they retreated.

The giant birds flapped their wings, kicking up countless gales that formed massive tornadoes in the air.

Soldiers rode on the backs of the birds, pulling their triggers. Each carefully calculated shot accurately struck an enemy on the ground.

Although Qin Nuo was being protected, she couldn’t help but be blown about, stumbling left and right.

All around her were fallen soldiers.

A trace of panic crossed her face. "A-All male beasts in the air, heed my command! Attack your comrades!"

As soon as she said this, all the soldiers looked on in anticipation.

But a moment later, everyone was dumbfounded.

Absolutely nothing happened!

Not only did the beasts fail to attack their own, but one even glided provocatively low. As it passed Qin Nuo, it swatted its wing, sending the soldiers clustered around her sprawling to the ground.

Qin Nuo was knocked off her feet, landing face-first in the dirt. Flustered and bewildered, she looked at the chaos unfolding before her.

In the confusion, someone even stepped on her leg.

The beasts’ attacks grew increasingly fierce.

By the time the soldiers reacted and tried to fight back, they were mowed down by the heavy weapons fire from the beast riders.

Terrified, Qin Nuo scrambled away, hastily ordering her soldiers to cover her retreat.

Lu Jian Country and the others uncontrollably used their bodies to shield her as she fell back.

Out of more than twenty thousand people, only a few thousand remained under the beasts’ assault.

By the time they escorted Qin Nuo back to the helicopter for an emergency evacuation, fewer than a thousand people were left.

Only after they were long gone did Lu Tingyan emerge from the watchtower.

Yodel had a faint smile on his face. "Chief, you were right. The beasts purified by Miss Bai Su are not subject to Qin Nuo’s commands."

Lu Tingyan had only been speculating, not expecting to have a chance to verify it today.

He stared in the direction they had disappeared, a flash of disgust in his eyes.

「Qin City.」

Qin Nuo scrambled back to Qin City, looking completely wretched. Her head was still buzzing, and she hadn’t recovered from the panic of the battle.

’From surrounding the city to fleeing in defeat, has it even been half an hour?’

’In less than half an hour, the twenty thousand people I brought were just... wiped out?’

"Your superpower didn’t work at all! We were attacked by the beasts, that’s why we were forced into a full retreat!"

"If you want to talk about who’s to blame, you’re part of the problem too!"

"Exactly! Those beasts were enormous! The size difference was huge, how could we possibly fight back?"

"Isn’t the whole point of you being here to help us restrain those beasts?"

"Why don’t you start by looking at your own faults?"

"We males are out here risking our lives to protect you females, and to protect you!"

They even used Qin Nuo’s own past words to argue against her.

It was the first time Qin Nuo had ever been contradicted by so many people. Their faces were burning with anger, their eyes full of insubordination, as if they were ready to overthrow her rule at any moment.

Having never been defied by so many people at once, Qin Nuo flew into a rage. "Very good."

A murderous intent colored her eyes. "All Bear Beastmen, take out your guns now. Point them at your own heads and don’t move."

The soldiers’ faces changed. Their bodies moved uncontrollably as they drew their guns and aimed them at their own heads.

A satisfied expression appeared on Qin Nuo’s face as her gaze swept over the despairing soldiers. "Now do you understand the consequences of defying me?"

The soldiers groveled completely. "Miss Qin, we were wrong! We shouldn’t have talked back to you!"

"Miss Qin, please spare us! We didn’t mean it. We... we were just scared."

"That’s right! In that huge battle just now, many of our comrades who fought alongside us died protecting you. We were overwhelmed with grief and anger, that’s why we spoke out of turn..."

"Miss Qin, I’m a local from Qin City! I grew up here. Please spare me! My parents and sisters work as servants in your family’s home..."

Qin Nuo sneered, "Do you think playing the sympathy card and apologizing will work now?"

"You are soldiers. You understand the importance of military regulations better than anyone."

"If I let you off today just because you defied me and then said a few nice words, won’t others just follow your example tomorrow?"
