“Are we going to sit and wait just like that?” The Crown Princess said. “They might be getting stronger with each passing minute or second. And if things are really as you said, won’t it be a case where we’ll never be a match for them?” The Crown Princess’ expression became that of her gritting her teeth as she said this.
“Don’t worry. I have a solution,” Fang Xingjian said.
The Crown Princess asked, “What solution?”
“Let the natives deal with the natives.” Seeing that the Crown Princess still seemed as if she wanted to continue to pursue an answer, Fang Xingjian shook his head. “Forget it, I’ll bring you over to take a look.”
At the next moment, the two of them flashed at the same time, disappearing in the void space.
Half an hour later, at Ding Region’s borders in the southern part of Middle-earth, the situation of a military base that belonged to Prince Ding was very laid back. Regardless of whether they were the guardsmen, the training cultivators, or the ordinary soldiers, all of them were wearing dispirited looks.
“F*ck, we’ve been doing field training for close to a month. When will this be over?”
“There’s no way about it. We don’t know when the imperial court will fight their way here. I heard that the young Fang Xuan has been so infatuated with the Demon Sect’s demonic lady that he has lost himself.”
“Hehe, I heard that Demon Sect’s demonic lady is more beautiful than the finest flower in Flower Scattering Brothel. I’d choose her if I were in his shoes as well.”
A few old soldiers laughed. Although Prince Ding had mobilized his troops since a long time ago and were constantly on guard and seemingly raring to go, the Ding Region was too far away from the Divine Capital after all. Furthermore, there were also the other feudal vassals in the central. These lower-tiered soldiers’ lives were too peaceful, and their wariness was a far cry from that of the troops in the north.
At a location that was over ten kilometers from the military camp, a team of 20 people appeared in the forest as a series of lights flashed by.
They wore black exoskeleton armors and held electromagnetic rifles, looking just like the warriors from the future that were mentioned in science fiction novels.
Fang Xingjian had specially picked out these people from the imperial guards to test out the new weapons.
Amongst the many pieces of equipment that Fang Xingjian had plans to produce, these exoskeleton armors and electromagnetic rifles were clearly the simplest. They were also the weapons that he had created first. ( NovelFull )
Looking at the imperial guards’ warriors, the Crown Princess frowned slightly. Her martial will scanned the exoskeleton armors and electromagnetic rifles. Although she was clear on what its structure was like, she was still unable to visualize the weapons’ principles and prowess.
After all, she had not been to a world with high technology and knew nothing about these types of weapons.
The Crown Princess asked outright, “What are these? What do you want to do?”
“These are the weapons that I developed for the Xiantian Realm cultivators. This is considered an experiment. I hope that the 20 of them can wipe out the 800 Xiantian Realm cultivators in that military base.”
“For 20 people to defeat 800 despite the fact that they are of the same realm…?” The Crown Princess raised her brows, and she scanned the few people’s bodies with her martial will once again. She did not detect any special powers or unique aptitudes, nor could she see any possibilities for their victories.
Therefore, the Crown Princess spoke in a straightforward manner, “Are you crazy? You’re sending them to their deaths.” She continued puzzledly, “Their armor isn’t bad. It’s very strong, but the armor won’t be able to fend off 800 Xiantian Realm cultivators’ repeated attacks in turns.”
Fang Xingjian only stuck out his lips in the military camp’s direction and said, “You’ll understand once you’ve seen it.”
Simultaneously, the armored force came to a stop several thousand kilometers outside the military camp.
The Imperial Guard in the lead was called Wang Tian. Right now, he was wearing a solemn expression under the armor while communicating with the others through the communication device, “Stop.”
The youngest of them said without confidence, “What should we do? There are several hundreds of them.”
It had been less than 30 minutes since they received these pieces of equipment, and they had no combat experience using them. They had merely learned how to use the communication devices and fire the rifles. Fang Xingjian had channeled the information into their minds.
Right now, they only felt that the exoskeleton armor had increased their agility and speed by a little. However, they knew nothing of the equipment’s prowess.
Despite this, they had been brought to this place by Fang Xingjian, equipped with these pieces of equipment, and then told to kill the several hundred Xiantian Realm cultivators in this military camp. They felt terrified.
“Did you guys offend important characters?” One of the Imperial Guards with a beard asked dejectedly. “We’re facing an entire army. How are we going to fight?”
Another tall soldier also threw the electromagnetic rifle onto the ground. “Kill several hundred Xiantian Realm cultivators with these things? What kind of joke is this? Someone is clearly making a fool out of us, putting us in a tight situation. Whoever wishes to die can go ahead.”
Wang Tian frowned and said coldly, “Don’t be saying foolish words. You guys heard it as well. This is an order given by His Majesty directly. Are you guys doubting His Majesty’s decision?”
“We aren’t doubting His Majesty’s decision,” that tall man who was shouting loudly earlier became submissive and said in an aggrieved tone, “But they are clearly sending us to our deaths. Maybe His Majesty was also deceived.”
Wang Tian looked at the other soldiers and said in a low voice, “You guys are thinking the same?”
No one replied, but everyone’s silence made it clear what their answers were.
For 20 of them to charge out toward an army… This was simply suicidal.
Wang Tian said slowly, “I know your worries, but think about how we came here. His Majesty performed his amazing skill to send us here. Then think about the situation in the Divine Capital now.
“Those flat and wide paths, those metal chariots that can run by themselves…
“And those electric lights that don’t require burning oil or candles, taps that have water coming out of them by themselves, as well as the underground water paths and toilets…”
With each word Wang Tian said, the gazes of the many soldiers present would reveal a hint of contemplation.
“I believe in His Majesty. Moreover, even if we really aren’t a match for them… Given His Majesty’s means to send us here, would he not be able to save us and send us back?
“Could it be that you’ve forgotten about General Marie’s means?”
At the mention of this, everyone’s gazes lit up slightly. Many members of the Imperial Guards had seen Fang Xingjian’s and the Crown Princess’ Spatial Translocation many times and were full of admiration toward this amazing skill.
Therefore, after Wang Tian said this, most of the soldiers immediately agreed with what he said.
The bearded man nodded and said, “What you said makes sense. I’m in.”
The tall man also picked up the electromagnetic rifle on the ground. Although there was still hesitation in his eyes, he also said, “What you said makes sense.”
The other soldiers also agreement. Just then, the sound of horns and shouts rang out from the military camp.
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”
“Everyone gather up! Follow me and kill the enemies!”
The over 800 Xiantian Realm cultivators in the military camp started moving. They charged out wearing their armors and holding spears. The Crown Princess exclaimed, “What are you doing? There might still be a chance if it’s a sneak attack.”
“I’m not here to see them launch a sneak attack.” Fang Xingjian drew back the finger with which he had sent out a stream of sword Qi and said, “I want to test the effect of a frontal attack.”
