Nan Hua turned around and shook her head lightly. "There's no need to worry, we're not at the epicenter. And in this open ground, we'll be fine."
"What are you talking about?" Yu Jin looked confused.
It was then Nan Hua recalled that this world shouldn't have researched the matter of earthquake deeply. In their eyes, it was the Heaven's punishment for them because the Heaven is angry.
Nan Hua: "..."

She didn't bother to explain and simply looked in the direction of Zhang Xu Kingdom. She had read about this matter in the novel before. On the day before New Year, 8th year of Emperor Yang Zhou's Reign, 3rd Year after Emperor Yang Zhou's inauguration, and 1st Year of total war state, at the end of Winter, the biggest earthquake in the past 100 years occurred.
And the center of the earthquake was precisely in the middle of Zhang Xu Kingdom.
It was as if the Heaven was angry because of what Zhang Xu Kingdom had done in their reign. Many people died and no one could stop this natural disaster. The earth below moved and caused heavy devastation to Zhang Xu Kingdom.
Other kingdoms wouldn't be affected aside from feeling the ground shook a bit.
But the result of this earthquake would be devastating for Zhang Xu Kingdom in the future as they had to face many problems.
"In the face of nature, humans are really small," Nan Hua muttered as the ground stop shaking. She was at the frontline, which was why she could still feel the tremor on the ground. But it was estimated that those in Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City would not be able to sense anything.
Those in Shi Long Kingdom would probably not know anything as they were simply too far.
"You're really courageous to stand in the middle of the field." Yu Jin looked at Nan Hua and shook her head. "Don't you know how dangerous it is when the Heaven is angry?"
Nan Hua blinked her eyes.
How the surface would change in the future would depend on how the war would be in the confrontation in the next few months.
"In that case, may the Heaven be with you, Hua'er."
"You too, Jin Jie."
The two of them looked at each other before Nan Hua left. Tomorrow was New Year and this earthquake at the end of the year seemed to signify that the next year would be different.
Indeed.
Everything would be very different starting from tomorrow.

<Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City>
The news of the earthquake from Zhang Xu Kingdom spread. Unlike Fan Yi Kingdom who had emergency court meeting because of the winter war, the officials were having holiday. Who would want to head out when the temperature was so cold outside?
They would rather stay inside and not do anything.
However, for a matter such as an earthquake, it was impossible for the Emperor not to be informed.
Emperor Yang Zhou was staying within his study room. It was really cold and there were even snow outside, so the heater was put on. No one would be willing to get out without wearing thick clothes.
"Your Majesty, there's a report from the frontline. It is said that there's a big earthquake from Zhang Xu Kingdom."
"Earthquake in Zhang Xu Kingdom?" Emperor Yang Zhou arched his eyebrows. He was prepared for a long and arduous war with Zhang Xu Kingdom, but they unexpectedly encountered a disaster?
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Emperor Yang Zhou tapped the table with his fingers. Now that there was an earthquake in Zhang Xu Kingdom, it was estimated that they would be busy with the disaster relief and might have to split their forces.
In that case...
