After this bombardment, even Skinny Du was stunned. The huge recoil almost knocked him off the cannon emplacement.
If it wasn"t for Lord Huo reaching out to grab him, he might have already fallen down.
""Huo Huo Huo Huo... Master Huo?""
""What"s this called?""
""Lone Artillery.""
""What f * cking power!""
The skinny man jumped up and looked at the empty street in front of him. His face was so excited that it looked as if it was painted with red paint. ""One cannon shot and they all rushed over. Let me see how many can still stand?""
The originally s.p.a.cious street became even wider, and the shops on both sides of the street were reduced to ruins.
The one hundred men who had rushed over from the front were all burnt to ashes, not even leaving behind a corpse.
Fortunately, in preparation for this battle, the people of the Heaven"s Enlightenment Sect had already sent away the nearby commoners and merchants. Each family had been compensated with silver taels at double the price, which was more than enough to settle down somewhere else.
The arrogant eunuch from before had turned pale after the blast.
He didn"t even notice that at that moment, a spirit stone exploded not far away from him, and directly blew away half of his arm.
He didn"t feel anything at the time because he was moving so fast.
Dozens of spirit stones went into the cannon. Although the quality was not good, the cost of making this cannon was staggering.
Within the Great Yan Country today, there weren"t any who dared to recklessly fire such cannons.
Of course, the Heavenly Ascension Sect couldn"t do it either. The reason for this was to establish their might.
This kind of explosive power meant that the cultivators in the ascendant realm didn"t even have a chance to survive. Even the cultivators in the Xumi realm were terrified.
With one shot, the first wave of the opponent"s attacks were dealt out.
Tantai Chen, who was sitting on the roof and enjoying the show, had a very unsightly expression. He looked at An Ying and asked, ""How much silver is this cannon?""
An Zhan shook his head. ""At this time, who"s still thinking about silver.""
Tantai Che said, ""I can see that you are truly rich and overbearing.""
An He argued, ""This kind of thing, silver, is used where it should be used.
""If you really compare them, you are much richer than me.""
""But I don"t want to.""
""This is only the beginning. There will be others with greater power in a while.""
""How is this war, it"s burning money.""
As he spoke, the sound of drums could be heard in the distance.
Teams of Imperial Guards drove over in a neat row, pushing the powerful crossbow on the bed in front of them.
The crossbow arrow was as thick as a calf, and a heavy crossbow could knock down the house.
Once the bed crossbows were brought closer, the Imperial Army would have a much greater advantage in numbers.
Ignoring everything else, the tens of bed crossbows bombarded the Tian Qi Sect. Although the people from the Tian Qi Sect could hide, the houses could not.
He ran towards Chun while shouting hysterically, ""Kill them all!""
Across the street, ten bed crossbows were placed in a row. The Imperial Guards hurriedly twisted up the cables, and the heavy crossbows, which were as thick as a calf, were installed.
Lan Jing, who was standing behind Du Jin, rubbed his hands together: ""Master Fatty, do you think it would be my turn to enjoy the second round?""
Old Huo said from the side, ""The first cannon is to establish its might, so they all use low quality spirit stones.""
The effect was almost there. The second shot was meant to intimidate the soldiers.
""So there"s no need to fill up so many spirit stones, use this.""
He pointed to a tightly bound cloth bag on the side and said, ""Leaning on the inside of the cannon is a peak Gold rank spiritual stone, which is enough to push this thing seven or eight hundred meters away. The range of the other party"s bed crossbow does not exceed five hundred meters, so even if it is five hundred meters, it is still the end of the crossbow.""
""Come, Long Jing, aim well. I will let you feel refreshed with the second strike.""
Lan Jing chuckled as he came up. He then followed Old Huo"s instructions to fill the pack and start the fire.
As long as he infused a tiny bit of his cultivation power into it, the peak of the metal grade spirit stone would be able to shoot out the item with the help of the unique magic item created by Old Huo.
Ron pushed down with his hand, and there was a loud bang!
The bag that was as big as a washbasin flew out, but its aim was not accurate. It exploded above the heads of the Imperial Guards.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAA!
A huge ball of flame bloomed in the air and quickly spread out. The large ball of flame covered a range of at least a hundred meters. Not a single Imperial Guard soldier within this range was able to survive.
After the explosion, countless iron b.a.l.l.s flew everywhere like bullets, tidying up the Imperial Guards and overturning a layer.
The Imperial Guards at the front who were controlling the crossbow were even more unlucky and were blown into pieces.
More than half of the crossbows on the bed had also been destroyed. Even if there were a few that were still usable, no one would dare to come up and control them.
There was no way to fight this war that had just begun.
Even though the Imperial Guards were using a bed-crossbow forged by the Great Yan Soldiers" Workshop, its power was astonishing.
However, the craftsmen in the workshop weren"t even on the same level as Old Huo.
If used as an example, the craftsmen in the armory were no more than Cui grade magical equipment, and Lao Huo was one of the best of the purple grade.
In the current world, there was only one master artificer who could create a purple rank magical equipment.
Even in the Great Xi, the Saint King, Chen Wunoo, had to be courteous to him, an amazing person.
However, this was something that no one could have imagined. Who would have thought that the old man guarding the gate in the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect actually had such a powerful background?
It was nice to fight and feel like you were bullying people.
Tantai Che looked at the second cannon and shook his head. ""Unless the Imperial Army is a r.e.t.a.r.d, no one would dare to charge at us.""
""If this thing was ma.s.s-produced and sent to the battlefield, it might already have won the war against Quiet Nation.""
An Zeng sighed, ""It would be great if this thing could be ma.s.s-produced. Do you know what is driving it?""
""It"s a peak grade Gold rank spirit stone. Even in the Heavenly Awakening Sect, there are only three to five people who can take it out …""
Tantage: ""Can you be modest?""
To think that you would be able to take out three to five gold coin pinnacle spirit stones, don"t you think that it"s enough? ""
He looked at An Zhe and said, ""I feel that there is something wrong with this play, let me think … According to the stories I have heard in the past, this loyal official has suffered a lot, right?""
If he wanted money, he would have no money. If he wanted people, he would have no money.
But why don"t you have this kind of sympathy?
Though you"re not particularly rich, not much more than you are.
""Ever since the day you entered Fang Gu City, I"ve been observing you. You didn"t swallow your anger and do whatever you want … Why?""
