NOVPUBChapter 464 -465 Too Terrible
“Heavy soul cannon?” After hearing Lin Qian’s explanation, Yue Liqun’s eyes were still filled with confusion, not understanding what a soul cannon was.
Although he didn’t understand, the name alone filled Yue Liqun with a sense of awe.
The equally rotund Fu Deqing was feasting heartily, gripping a leg of a beast and eating with gusto. Lin Qian’s words also shifted his interest away from the beast leg, “Your Majesty, what exactly is this so-called heavy soul cannon used for?”
“For besieging cities and killing enemies,” Lin Qian replied, looking ahead with a smile slowly spreading across his face.
At this moment, in front of them, the male artisans from the Fire Department summoned quietly by Lin Qian had already arrived with the parts for the heavy soul cannon, beside the diabolic military array.
The various components of the heavy soul cannon were complete, and now all that was left to do was to assemble them on the spot.
While the heavy soul cannon was being assembled, the diabolical figure carefully watched the Mountain City above, believing they would send people to attack this place.
However, to his great surprise, the enemies atop the Mountain City seemed to ignore their assembly of the heavy soul cannon, focusing instead entirely on the chaotic array and the ineffective Array Map discs.
“They must be brain-dead, right?” Turning around, the diabolic figure called out, his voice imbued with Soul Power carried from far away.
When Lin Qian looked over, the diabolic figure was pointing at the nearly completed ten heavy soul cannons and continued to shout in confusion, “We are building a tower at their doorstep, and they don’t have any reaction at all, not even a hint of harassment?”
“They’re bumpkins; they’ve never seen cannons.” Lin Qian chuckled in response to the diabolic figure’s confusion, “They simply don’t understand what it truly means once the construction of the heavy soul cannons is successful.”
By the time Lin Qian spoke these words, the ten heavy soul cannons had been successfully assembled.
Atop the colossal base, ten yards high, sat a massive cannon with a barrel engraved with the pattern of a Golden Dragon.
The intricate array on the base glowed dazzlingly, drawing in all of nature’s spiritual energy surrounding them. After refining the Spiritual Energy into Soul Power, the array directed it into the barrel.
Despite having never seen a soul force cannon, the formidable Soul Power condensing within the barrel was enough for them to understand that the heavy soul cannons described by Lin Qian were far more than just aesthetically pleasing structures.
“Could it be that this so-called heavy soul cannon gathers Spiritual Energy together and then unleashes a powerful Soul Power attack?” Seeing the Soul Power fluctuations in the ten heavy soul cannons and the terrifying aura they emitted, their hearts tightened. They could already anticipate that the Soul Power attacks that would erupt from these ten structures would not be weak.
At that time, members of the Black Corner Clan in the Mountain City also started to notice the unusual activities on this side and turned their gaze toward the heavy soul cannons that were gathering Soul Power.
In their eyes, they only saw ten dark muzzles pointing toward them in ten different directions.
Within those dark muzzles, a flicker of Soul Power light was gradually accumulating, emanating a compelling aura. Even from within the city, they could clearly feel the contained overpowering force.
“Let’s show them what a soul force cannon is.” Just then, Lin Qian suddenly spoke, giving instructions to the diabolic figure.
Hearing Lin Qian’s command, the diabolic figure also let out a ferocious laugh as Soul Power burst forth from his body, transforming into ten streams of Soul Power torrents that rushed into the base. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
With the Soul Power provided by the diabolic figure, the slight deficit that the ten heavy soul cannons needed to accumulate was filled, and the glow from the array on the base suddenly dimmed.
“Heavy soul cannon…” The diabolic figure looked over at the Mountain City and the Black Corner Clan, whose expressions were still somewhat blank, his face revealing a trace of cruelty, “Fire!”
As the monster’s voice fell, the base of the heavy soul cannon, which had dimmed, suddenly flared with a blazing light. The golden dragon etched onto the cannon’s barrel came alive as its eyes brightened.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A dull sound rose as one brilliant, white-hot beam after another shot out from the mouth of the cannon, heading straight for ten different locations of the Black Corner Clan’s Mountain City.
There was a loud bang, and the initially straight soul power beam suddenly burst apart, splitting into ten.
Bang!
Another loud noise echoed as the already quartered soul power beam further divided into ten.
The beams of soul power from the heavy soul cannon dispersed rapidly, quickly fragmenting into thousands of soul power rays, shooting straight at the array barriers above the Mountain City.
“How can this be…” The Array Master, trying to repair the city’s array, stared at the scene that had turned stark white in front of him. His entire being seemed bathed in white light. Seeing the swiftly approaching soul power attack, his expression gradually turned to madness, “No, no!”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Deafening explosions rang out, and in an instant, the earth quaked and mountains shook. The Black Corner Clan’s Mountain City trembled wildly, causing nearly everyone to lose their footing and fall to the ground.
Fortunately, the craftsmanship of the Dwarf Clan was completely trustworthy—at least for now, not a single building within the entire Mountain City had collapsed.
Those living in the city were inside, after all, with the Black Corner Army’s area of activity on the outside.
The Black Corner Army behind the array barrier, those in Awakening Realm, weren’t much affected, only glaring darkly at everything in front of them.
As for the Black Corner Army in the Life and Death Realm, the situation was still rather good. After condensing soul power on the surface of their bodies, they weren’t too impacted.
However, those of the Black Corner Clan in the Sky Breaking Realm had much more trouble. At the start of the explosions, they couldn’t make heads or tails of the directions, being thrown about in complete disarray.
As for those of the Black Corner Clan in the Nirvana Realm, those close to the array barrier were shaken to death, while those farther from the barrier had fainted, completely losing their ability to fight.
Lin Qian had already stood up, looking at the situation unfold before him with a satisfied nod. The scene playing out in front of him was entirely within his expectations.
In city siege mode, the soul power attacks from the heavy soul cannon would maintain their might and continuously divide themselves to achieve a chain explosion effect, making the assault even more powerful.
Behind him, the table was in complete disarray, and the ground was still shaking.
As for the other five people, looking at the city now covered in a dense smoke and dust, they were so scared that they couldn’t utter a word.
In the wars between Soul Martial Artists, the strategy typically started with breaking the array. The warfare strategy of the Huaxia Empire seemed no different from the beginning.
But now, they fully understood what was meant by the Huaxia Empire’s style of combat!
It was terrifying!
