Boom!
The dull sound made people feel suffocated. The air twisted in an instant, and a huge stone weighed tens of thousands of kilograms thousands of meters away was smashed into countless pieces.
“What do you think of it?” The elder couldn’t withhold the pride in his eyes. The development of such a great killing weapon was meaningful. It was a great achievement to protect the ordinary people with it, not to mention it was a great breakthrough.
It was more like a rocket launcher than a cannon, which could be launched by only one person. However, the quantity of electricity of a Heavy Sound Cannon would be exhausted after being used once. Then it needed to be charged and could be used the next time. Its function was similar to that of a sonic waves attack.
Chu Xun was still a little surprised. It was stronger than he imagined. Faced with it, even an expert in the Gold Immortal Realm would feel threatened. It was enough to frighten the person other than to kill him.
“It is great!” Chu Xun gave a thumbs-up. “How long can it be put into wide use?”
“It’s already been put to use on a small scale.”
“It’s best to use it on a large scale. At that time, everyone can have one so that the security of the major cities can be restored. The warriors in cities are a threat to ordinary people.”
“I agree with you, but it is difficult to do it. Warriors are arrogant, not to mention those big forces. How can they leave easily after occupying cities?”
Chu Xun looked at the elder with a faint smile and said, “What do you want? Do you want me to deal with them?”
“You are famous, aren’t you? I want to deal with them, but they don’t hear me. We should deal with wicked people with a wicked person.”
“Haha…”
“What the fuck do you mean?”
Chu Xun widened his eyes and said, “Please show respect for your position.”
The elder didn’t take it seriously. “Can’t a top official say dirty words?”
Chu Xun smiled. The elder was quite cute, caring about ordinary people. “Well, I’ll deal with them.”
The elder was a swift and decisive person. Once they decided, he immediately issued an order for all forces occupying cities to leave.
Although he gave the order, warriors were eccentric. In the chaotic world, who would take his words seriously? Warriors thought that ordinary people were weak.
Another order was issued. Major General Chu ordered all forces to withdraw from cities, and those who disobeyed would be killed without mercy.
Who was Major General Chu? Except for the soldiers of the country and the ordinary people, the warriors didn’t know who Major General Chu was at all. Most of them sneered at him and thought a major general was no match for them at all.
Some well-informed people knew that Major General Chu was Chu the Devil and became nervous. However, they were still waiting and seeing what would happen next. It was not easy for them to occupy the cities. Who was willing to leave? As the saying goes, the law could not be enforced when everyone was an offender. If no one moved, Chu the Devil could not kill all of them. Besides, they had guarded cities and protected the people long. Who would protect ordinary people if they left? Would the weak generals and soldiers protect the people well? What a joke!
There was a rumor that the country just used the name of Chu the Devil, and he was not a major general at all. Warriors shouldn’t be deceived. The more the rumor spread, the more ridiculous it became. Some people even said that Chu the Devil had nothing to do with the country. Chu the Devil had gotten angry and would go to the capital city to deal with the official.
No matter who spread the rumors, their goal was clear. They wanted everyone to work together and ignore the issue of letting them leave cities. If they joined in forces, no one would be able to do anything to them.
The wind was gentle, and the sun was dazzling. The elder put down the chess piece in his hand. “Your name doesn’t seem to work.”
“Sometimes, it’s indeed not useful. What if I give an order to them myself? Then let’s see if they will do me a favor.” Chu Xun was no match for Emperor Ao in chess. Emperor Ao had nothing to do for thousands of years and studied it every day. Chu Xun was sure to win against the elder in chess.
“In the face of interests, they may not…” The elder thought for a bit as if he was thinking of how to phrase his words. After a long time, he continued, “They may not show you respect.”
“It doesn’t matter. It’s understandable that no one shows me respect. However, they may show respect to my sword. You lost.”
The elder looked at the chessboard and thought hard about it. In the end, he found that he really lost. He smiled freely and said, “You are right.” When looking up, he found that the person opposite him was standing in the air.
“My friends in Martial Tao, I hope you can withdraw from the cities within three days. Please don’t make any trouble for me.” His voice rumbled, rolling out.
Seeing Chu Xun fell, the elder paused for a moment and asked, “Is it useful?”
“I don’t know,” Chu Xun shrugged and said, “let’s play in the next round.”
His words proved that the country had not lied before, and Chu the Devil wanted all forces to withdraw from the cities. All the rumors stopped abruptly after Chu Xun’s words. If the warriors still hold onto the rumors, they were courting death.
Should they leave or not? It was a problem. Chu the Devil’s order was different from that of the state. Anyway, they still had three days to decide. They could see if others would leave or not.
All the cities in the world were guarded by great forces. In fact, the forces had occupied cities. They built more cities in cities that they guarded. It was as if they were kings in the cities. They saw the people in the cities as their people and dealt with them easily. They liked power, and they were addicted to it over time.
These forces were not good for nothing. At least they built lots of city walls. In the past, fierce beasts could attack cities easily. Now, the mountains outside the city rose suddenly. The fierce birds and beasts wreaked havoc. Without the city walls to block them, the ordinary people would probably have died a long time ago.
However, the forces thought of themselves as kings in cities. Some forces even issued their own laws, wanting to divide the country. In the past, the country was weak and couldn’t threaten them with thermal weapons. The country could only rely on the fame of Chu the Devil to prevent these forces from being too unscrupulous. With the development of the Heavy Sound Cannon, the country could restrain them. Huaxia couldn’t be divided, and its only ruler was the elder. Through the development of thousands of years, Huaxia was an indivisible whole. No one could destroy it.
A day passed, and no forces left the cities.
Chu Xun had played chess with the elder for a day and sometimes argued about who was wrong in rounds. They did not mention anything about those forces.
The next day, some forces withdrew and set up camp in a good land on mountains. They asked some craftsmen to build some buildings. However, many forces looked down upon them. The forces that withdrew all had relationships with Chu the Devil, such as the Shadowless Sect in Shadowless City, the Xia Family in Xiacheng, the forces behind Weng Xiong, Diao Xingyi, and so on…
As friends of Chu the Devil, they wanted to show him some respect.
On the third day, except for the forces related to Chu Xun, no other forces moved.
In the evening, the setting sun was as red as blood. Chu Xun put down the last chess piece and stood up. “I have to go to work.”
“There are still a few hours left. Why not wait for a while?” The elder quietly tidied up the chessboard.
“If I start to work early, I can have a rest early…”
