Mao Shentai looked at the grinning old research member and said, “We are all fighting for the Alliance and our goal is the same, which is to break down their defense line. To achieve such a lofty goal, we shouldn’t be fighting amongst ourselves.”
The old researcher said, “Fighting among ourselves? When did we want to do that? If it wasn’t for him causing trouble with us countless times, do you think that we would want to fight him? Moreover, this can’t be considered a fight. He made mistakes and caused trouble for the Alliance, so he should bear the consequences himself, but instead of doing that, he pushed the responsibility on us.”
Haiz, how were they going to fight Lin Wanyi like this? They weren’t on the same level and now they were fighting among themselves.
“Making mistakes is a normal thing; no one can always be correct. Moreover, we are all fighting for the Alliance.” Mao Shentai hoped that he would succeed, that the researchers would stop clashing with Zhu Daoshen and calm down. What was the point of fighting like that? There was not much point at all.
This wasn’t the time for that; they should have turned their attention to the enemy.
The old researcher laughed coldly, “General Mao, your words might sound nice, but you can ask about what he did. When the particle accelerator cannon was fired, the natives did something and tilted the barrel and accidentally killed some people. Not only did he not understand us, but he felt like there were problems with the thing we created.”
“The particle accelerator cannon was invented during my teacher’s lifetime and it was perfected in mine. His one sentence wrote off so much of our hard work and he even killed people from our research team in front of everyone.”
Facing such a situation, Mao Shentai really didn’t know what to say.
He thought about it.
Zhu Daoshen was really a little too much. No wonder they were angry and reported him. He was asking for all of this.
Now that they had a chance to take revenge, of course, they would take it.
So what if he was a nine-star general? Did he really think that he could do whatever he wanted?
To these old fellows in the research team, even if they weren’t as strong, the generals’ knowledge couldn’t even compare to their attainments in research.
Simply put, one group of people were intellectuals while the other group were warriors.
Mao Shentai was in deep thought, “You all are right too but an internal conflict would be a catastrophe for the Alliance. If the natives found out they would probably laugh at all of us.”
What else could he do?
He just wanted to ask, since things had reached such a stage, what else could they do?
If he stood on Zhu Daoshen’s side, then needless to say they would have a deep conflict with the tech research team. Maybe before the You City people even attacked, they would have already collapsed on their own.
This was why he felt like his goal of coming here wasn’t to fight You City, but to resolve the conflicts between the two parties.
The old researcher was calm and didn’t say much. Naturally, he knew about the war situation, but because Zhu Daoshen went overboard, he was really unhappy.
At the same time, Mao Shentai’s words made sense too.
Alliance Headquarter’s conversation with Zhu Daoshen was regarding the previous battle, and at most, they would ask why he didn’t stop the natives from stealing the cannon.
He would also ask about how the natives knew how to use the particle accelerator cannon.
Whether or not a traitor told them about the use of source stones.
Of course, they knew that the natives definitely didn’t know what source stones were, so the only possibility would be that someone from Alliance colluded with the natives.
Apart from that, there was no other reason.
If the natives fired the cannons once or twice, it might have been because an expert injected his True Essence in.
But was this something that happened once or twice?
Shooting from night till morning, you try and do that.
The Alliance Headquarter’s instructions were obvious which was for the main camp’s position to be shifted back.
Zhu Daoshen didn’t want to do that as he felt like it would affect morale and make them think that they couldn’t beat the natives.
“General Zhu, I hope that you can understand the situation.” The Alliance Headquarters were helpless regarding this matter. When they learned about what happened, they too didn’t want to believe it.
Natives could fire the particle accelerator cannon many times.
Was that a joke?
But looking at the situation, it obviously wasn’t a joke.
Damn.
Zhu Daoshen kept silent for a long while before saying, “I understand.”
Although he agreed to retreat, Zhu Daoshen was still really unwilling.
The members of the main camp were terrified.
Damn, we didn’t even sleep last night. From night till morning all we heard were the explosions. To them, this was torture.
Life was just too tough.
….
“Kid, the sounds of your cannon haven’t stopped since last night. Don’t you feel that it pierces the ear?” Zhang Tianshan didn’t have a high opinion of the Alliance weapon.
It was just bigger in size, slightly stronger, and covered a larger area. Apart from that, what else was it good for? It was just useless.
“Zhang Tianshan, I realized that ever since you came to You City you’ve become so much bolder. Don’t forget that you are only the Deputy Sect Leader and I am the Sect Leader.” Lin Fan said.
Zhang Tianshan smiled, “Kid, you are in the wrong here. I am your father’s brother, so I am right to call you that. So, the matter regarding Sect Leader is not good. If your father hears about it, he would say that you are being rude.”
Aiyo, oh my god…
He really didn’t expect Zhang Tianshan to be so cunning. Although he knew that was in the past, he didn’t expect it would be to such an extent.
He even dared to disregard the Sect Leader. Was he trying to rebel?
Lin Fan didn’t stoop to his level, “Didn’t you always say that your formations were strong? Why didn’t I see any of them used in the battles?”
Where were the formations?
They were of no use at all.
Zhang Tianshan was helpless, “I was setting formations at the border, but who knew that we would enter this place and that the formations there would be useless? The formations here are stabilizing and can’t be used yet. However, don’t worry. You will definitely be able to see how strong my formations are.”
Lin Fan squinted. Zhang Tianshan’s words were a little unbelievable and he always thought that he was talking nonsense.
He didn’t worry about Zhang Tianshan and started to think about something else.
The Alliance was definitely threatened by the cannon, but they hadn’t reacted to it yet.
He didn’t think that the Alliance would give up on You City so easily.
This was why, in the future, their attack would be even fiercer.
“If we can fire this right in front of them that would feel so great.” When such a thought appeared in Lin Fan’s mind, he quickly eradicated it.
Stop dreaming.
It was useless even if his father and the others protected him.
A battle between experts would produce a really strong aura and one would be affected the moment they got close. If he was far from his father and the others, the enemy would definitely target him and he would be in huge trouble.
Forget it.
Anyway, he had nothing to do, so he would just fire the cannons.
The Alliance’s weapon was really useful.
“Gou’zi, go and rest. Leave this to me.”
Gou’zi, who had been firing for an entire night, was exhausted. As a good and decent Young Master, he wouldn’t let him continue. He would probably die from exhaustion.
Gou’zi didn’t insist. He really couldn’t take it anymore; he just wanted to go and sleep.
“Young Master, I will come over after I rest up.”
Nine Demon laid there and didn’t do anything. After Lin Fan fed it some Bug Controlling Technique True Essence, it was pumped up and filled with energy.
Lin Fan stretched his hand in and continued to charge.
This matter was really just so boring.
But if he didn’t do this, then there wasn’t anything else that he could do.
Explosion!
The particle accelerator cannon fired once more.
You City experts blinked their eyes and they were a little lost. Firing for a night wasn’t enough and now he still wanted to continue. This was a little vicious…
“Damn, will they even stop?” Zhu Daoshen tore open the dimension once more. He was really furious and thought that things had ended. Who knew that it was just him overthinking?
They didn’t plan to stop at all.
“Retreat, everyone retreat.” Zhu Daoshen suppressed the rage in his heart and hollered.
There was nothing else he could do.
The enemy was shamelessly attacking which made him feel really helpless and lost.
“Brother Zhu, head over to rest. Leave this to me. Go arrange for them to leave.” Mao Shentai said.
He had just arrived here and had encountered such a problem.
Zhu Daoshen was really strong, but if he continued like this, he would definitely run out of energy.
The old man from the research team frowned and was thinking about how to destroy the particle accelerator cannon.
But he was helpless as he couldn’t think of any method at all.
When they invented it they didn’t think about putting in a self destruct mechanism. After all, the particle accelerator cannon would be fired under strict supervision. Who knew that it would be snatched from underneath their noses?
The members in the main camp were in a mess.
“Run! The natives are firing once more. If we get hit, we will all die here.”
“Damn. Who said that the natives wouldn’t know how to use the particle accelerator cannon? Are we going to be killed by the very weapon we created?”
They knew that the particle accelerator cannon had landed in the hands of the natives, but they didn’t dare to scold.
Whoever dared to scold Zhu Daoshen wouldn’t even know how they died in the end.
The eight-star generals wanted to suppress the situation, but they themselves panicked a little. The particle accelerator cannon fired so often and if they were hit, they wouldn’t end up much better.
Zhu Daoshen looked below, and all of a sudden, he didn’t know what to say.
“General, what should we do now? The tech research team members are all frightened and they want to leave.” An eight-star general came to report. He couldn’t stop them and couldn’t use strength to suppress them either. Their rank didn’t allow them to do that.
Zhu Daoshen said, “Gather the men and we will retreat.”
“Yes.” The eight-star general replied. He heaved a sigh. Were they finally going to retreat? If the nine-star general told them to remain here, then they had no choice and probably would just stay here, waiting to die.
