Summoners: One Golden Term per Level

Chapter 412 - 8: Firearms of the Great Wilderness Era

"What’s happening over there?" One of the Flame Emperor’s direct ministers, Gonggong, gazed into the distance.

He could also see the colossal ships on the great river, which appeared to be made of metal.

Nearby, a Ten Thousand Men Commander from the Flame Emperor Tribe, Gong Xun, furrowed his eyebrows and said, "Could it be the Jiuli Tribe has already applied their Divine Gold forging technology to their ships?"

They never underestimated the Jiuli Tribe, knowing well their development and grand momentum, sweeping through many eastern territories of the Human Race.

"It’s possible, we must be prepared!"

Gong Xun suddenly said, "Commander, we are the Vanguard Army, if we can’t send a battle report back.

The elders in the tribe might have significant objections to you."

Gonggong said coldly, "If the Jiuli Tribe were so easy to deal with, why aren’t they coming?"

Gong Xun couldn’t say much, he could only remind, "The elders inside the tribe demand results within three months."

Gonggong snorted coldly, "I know, these people can’t wait to tear me down from my position."

The Common Lord is too soft-hearted.

If it were up to him, he would have long eradicated these bloodsuckers leeching off the tribe.

"Send the Water Ghosts to see what’s going on with their ships.

If we have the opportunity, sink them; if not, at least find out what’s special about them."

"Alright!"

The Gonggong Tribe is best at water combat, which is why Gonggong was able to obtain the Vanguard Army Commander at this time.

...

Meanwhile on the other side.

Can Gang gazed upon the items sent from the tribe, which appeared to be extremely complex metal creations.

Moreover, there were traces resembling witchcraft used for metal forging etched upon them.

"How do you use this?"

"Just attach it to the ship, as long as the witchcraft patterns are activated, the brightness of the patterns allows you to change the speed."

The Empress explained once, Can Gang nodded, and then turned to look at the enormous metal creation beside him, a big piece similar to a cockpit.

The witchcraft patterns inside were extremely complex, here were also discs full of witchcraft traces.

The cannon body appeared to have a slight arc.

Its surface also showed signs of various witchcraft patterns.

At the center of the cannon body, there was a faint, fiery round object.

"Is this the Fire Falcon Beast Pill?"

Can Gang was somewhat puzzled, and the Empress nodded and said, "This can shoot over an ultra-long range, even exploding with Tier Six power against anything under Tier Three."

"Really?"

Can Gang was taken aback, looking at the dozens of cannons, thinking could this really unleash such powerful destruction?

"It’s to be placed on ships, used for cover when crossing rivers, surely the cultivators opposite will strike." The Empress said softly, "But the water flow will surely not be allowed to be controlled."

"The greatest danger to low tier will be blocking from their long-range attacks, and range"

"Also, there’s a new batch of downsized items, used for replacing the frontline’s metal swords."

The Empress knew that in the history of wars on Blue Star, thermal weapons crushed cold weapons.

As long as the lowest level in the Great Wilderness World had not fully broken free from the constraints of cold weapon battles.

These thermal weapons would be useful.

This Vanguard Army is also an experiment, attempting to reverse the historical inertia, they had to seek breakthrough points.

Both diplomatic situations and tribal strength required a development unlike before.

Change brings adaptation.

When the bronze guns were delivered, Can Gang personally tested them, mastering how to use them quickly with his skill.

In the River Tribe, he casually pointed at a boulder placed a hundred meters away.

’Boom!’

The boulder was instantly shattered, countless fragments flying in all directions.

The Empress was indeed not just for the prowess of the Great Wilderness system, even witchcraft was extremely complete.

Producing such creations on Blue Star would be hard to cross so many technical barriers in an instant.

Moreover, the witchcraft and immortal skill systems in the Great Wilderness differed from Blue Star’s Professional system.

Professionals on Blue Star were granted Extraordinary power by the Blue Star Heavenly Dao.

Fundamentally, it’s not a complete Extraordinary system, but the internal Extraordinary system of the Great Wilderness is complete.

Thus, creations derived from this can directly use Extraordinary power.

Blue Star could only do so using lifestyle professions.

Without these lifestyle professions, there’s no way to apply Blue Star’s Extraordinary power to various matters.

Can Gang looked at the nearly hundred-meter range.

Feeling emotional.

This, of course, was of no use to him, but for armies below Tier Three, it’s indeed a powerful weapon.

"When are we organizing the attack?"

Can Gang seemed rather enthusiastic, thinking this would easily repel the Vanguard Army."

"The decision lies with the Commander Can Gang, and this battle is also a demonstration to certain wavering tribes."

"If it goes well, future campaigns across the Mufu Mountain Range will be much simpler."

"If it doesn’t go well, we might be stalled here for a long time."

The Empress spoke, Can Gang, having experienced a hundred battles, understood what this meant.

"Good."

"Keep an eye on the defense of those metal ships, they watch us continuously, surely they’ll come probing at us."

"Understood."

...

Several days later.

With both hands like constricting snakes, Can Gang directly swallowed the Water Ghost caught from the river.

This Water Ghost was a technique of the Gonggong Tribe.

The Gonggong Tribe excels at water combat, thus it’s normal for them to lead the Vanguard Army.

"The main force is constantly arriving, currently stationed at the Mufu Mountain Range, if this continues to drag on.

It’ll be harder to defend, and might be overrun in one sweep across the riverbank."

Can Gang received reports from the scouts, flickers of light in his eyes, this Lie Mountain Tribe’s vanguard army might have started with probing.

If the delay continues, it might turn into not just probing, but a massive attack.

"Bring the Ten Thousand Men Commander for a war meeting."

Can Gang said, recently the boss orchestrated battlefield scenarios with sand tables, used for war layout.

Conducting simulations with sand tables, they must follow in implementing the changes, maximizing consideration of war’s direction.

Rather than impulsively launching attacks like before.

"The attack will be divided into three landing points, supported by bronze cannon, remaining ships arranged as before, three vessels per team."

"Once their cultivators appear, immediately intercept, ensuring the main force captures the port."

Can Gang slightly furrowed his brow, "The biggest trouble is Gonggong, he’s a Tier Ten.

Being by the river, he could likely control the river, preventing the ships from crossing."

"Even if I engage him, immortal skill won’t stop him from controlling the river."

As the offensive side, once crossing the river, one of their enemies would be the water flow.

Even if these metal ships, akin to Iron Wood, have deep draft, Gonggong only needs to stir slightly to overturn all vessels.

"I will suppress the river flow, if Gonggong attempts river control, it’ll cost him immense strength."

Can Gang nodded, "Alright!"

He witnessed the Empress’s means, though not to his destructive capacity, suppression of the river is still doable.

"If capturing can be done, prioritize capture!"

Can Gang frowned, puzzled, "Can’t kill them?"

"And he’s a Flame Emperor’s subordinate, will surely not betray."

The Empress simply said, "This is Chi You’s order."

"Alright."
