Chapter 1301
1301 The weapon that changes the way of war
The trading market in front of the Holy Dragon City was now full of walking figures, looking very lively.
Wanderers, wild cultivators, and cultivators from various cities were wandering around in front of the stall, bargaining continuously.
If an outsider wanted to set up a stall in the trading market, they had to pay a certain fee and then they could do business in the designated area of the market.
At this time, Lou Cheng’s cultivators and the wizard Legion were in a confrontation. Both sides were restraining themselves, so there were few large-scale Wars. Instead, small-scale battles often occurred. Most of the spoils seized by Lou Cheng’s cultivators were sold in the trading market.
The most valuable items were naturally the items used by Magi. Potions, materials, weapons, and many other miscellaneous items could all be sold at an appropriate price here.
The cultivation system of the Sorcerer world was different from that of the loucheng world, but many weapons and equipment could be used, especially some of the more lethal weapons, which were very popular with the cultivators in the loucheng world.
In addition, there were also seized Knights, warhorses, swords, and defensive equipment. Because of their excellent quality, they were also very sought after by the cultivators in loucheng.
The booming business made people envious. Some thieves had their eyes on this place. If they met a fat sheep, it would be enough for them to squander for a long time.
However, if they were caught by mistake, the outcome would be equally miserable, and they might even lose their lives.
In order to maintain the order of the trading market, the Holy Dragon City sent out more than a hundred Lord cultivators, as well as nearly a thousand fully armed low-level cultivators. They were stationed in the trading market all day long to deter those disobedient guys.
On the buildings around the city, there were always sniper cultivators lurking. On top of the tall towers built with logs, heavy automatic armor-piercing machine guns were set up, and the black muzzles were very terrifying.
The first batch of cultivators in loucheng had the honor of witnessing the power of this heavy armor-piercing machine gun, and they still remembered it clearly.
Dozens of cultivators from loucheng who did not know the Holy Dragon city’s depths or were deliberately probing caused trouble in the trading market, injuring two Holy Dragon City residents who were in charge of the market. After that, they even clamored for the city Lord to come out and apologize.
The other party’s clown-like actions quickly received a response from Holy Dragon City. Three heavy armor-piercing machine guns that had just been set up locked onto their position.
After a series of rapid gunshots, the dozens of cultivators in loucheng who were causing trouble were all torn into pieces by the bullets. It was a terrible sight!
After this incident, while the cultivators in the buildings were afraid of the Holy Dragon City, they were also drooling over these powerful firearms. They asked the residents of the Holy Dragon City who were in charge of managing the trading market one after another, wanting to buy these weapons from the Holy Dragon City.
The market manager shook his head and refused without hesitation. This was a weapon that the Holy Dragon City had just equipped. How could it be sold?
Although this type of heavy automatic armor-piercing machine gun couldn’t be sold, the outdated weapons and equipment could be sold to the cultivators in the building. These were all good things and definitely not junk that could fool people.
In fact, selling these outdated weapons and equipment had long been part of the Holy Dragon city’s plan.
If the lips die, the teeth will grow cold. Once the front line of defense was broken, the Holy Dragon City would definitely fall into a state of isolation and helplessness. Tang Zhen was very clear about this, so he did not mind increasing the combat power of these cultivators.
As for whether they would use this kind of weapon against the Holy Dragon City, Tang Zhen was not worried at all. Back then, the terobo people had used their warships to attack the Holy Dragon City but were unable to take it down. How could this group of cultivators in loucheng city rely on their outdated weapons to pose a threat to the Holy Dragon City?
It didn’t take long for a powerful bolt rifle to be launched by the Holy Dragon City. As soon as it hit the market, it attracted the attention of the cultivators.
It was a semi-automatic rifle that could fire 12.7mm bullets. It had a long range and a high penetrating force. The powerful recoil was nothing to cultivators in loucheng city.
Each gun came with a bayonet and five bullets. The price was equivalent to a low-level Demon Blade.
The knight’s armor in the wizard World could resist the cutting of swords and arrows, but it could not resist the shooting of this kind of heavy rifle. The bullets could easily penetrate the armor!
After seeing the Holy Dragon City cultivators ‘demonstration and learning the specific price, many cultivators in loucheng city bought it out of their own pockets.
After equipping this kind of gun, Lou Cheng could attack the enemy from a long distance. It was very suitable for small-scale harassment and interlude battles!
After getting their hands on the weapons, many cultivators in loucheng only familiarized themselves with them briefly before rushing to the front line to join the battle.
In the end, the cultivators who had participated in the battle returned a few days later with shocking news.
A team of cultivators encountered a group of enemies on the battlefield. In the end, they, who were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, won and killed all the enemies they encountered!
After returning to the trading market, the boss of the cultivator battle team found the manager of the market and gave him a hug without saying anything.
“Guys, do you know that if it weren’t for these guns, I wouldn’t have come back today!”
Immediately after, the cultivator battle team’s boss told everyone about their battle experience. Hearing this, everyone gasped in surprise and subconsciously looked at the stall selling firearms.
The experience of this cultivator team was like a living advertisement. The cultivators in loucheng who had doubts about the power of firearms or thought that they were not used to this kind of weapon also bought one, wanting to see if it was really that effective on the battlefield.
Unknowingly, more and more cultivators with guns appeared in the market, and the battlefield in front of them was filled with gunshots.
The performance on the battlefield proved that this type of heavy rifle was an excellent long-range weapon, which was why it was deeply loved by the cultivators in loucheng.
The wizard Army didn’t pay much attention to the long-range weapons that suddenly appeared on the battlefield at first. However, as the number of casualties increased, they finally realized the seriousness of the situation.
The cultivators in the city didn’t fight face to face at all. Instead, they hid in the dark and sniped. If they were not careful, they would be ambushed. It was common for the entire patrol team to be annihilated.
The patrol members of the wizard Army were on tenterhooks. Once they heard the gunshots, they would quickly lie on the ground to hide.
The third Legion of the Sorcerer world, who was in charge of defending this area, quickly responded. After analyzing and verifying the power structure of the seized firearms, they immediately began to find a way to deal with it.
It didn’t take long for a special bulletproof vest to appear on the front line patrol members. Although it looked very heavy, it could effectively reduce the lethality of the bullets.
At the same time, the wizard camp had also developed a special gun. It could use the special gas stored in the gas tank as power to shoot round metal bullets, which were quite powerful.
However, compared to the Holy Dragon city’s firearms, this kind of weapon was very cumbersome. It was not very popular among the wizard camp. Those Knights preferred the seized heavy rifles.
unconsciously, the way the two sides fought began to change. from the beginning, they were short sides, slowly turning into shooting at each other, and only when they were close would they fight with swords.
Due to the change in the battlefield situation, more and more cultivators in loucheng city started to equip themselves with firearms. In the past, only a few people in a battle team were equipped with firearms, but now, almost everyone had one!
The sales momentum was great, and the Holy Dragon City had also launched a supporting service. All kinds of ammunition with special killing effects, tactical vests, bulletproof helmets, and other products had also appeared one after another.
Tang Zhen’s purpose wasn’t to make money, but to improve the combat power of these cultivators as much as possible and use them to resist the wizard Legion on the front line.
As the war continued, Tang Zhen might provide more and more powerful weapons until the final battle began.
In fact, after the general mobilization for the war in the spirit ruins, the Magus world’s invasion had stopped. It was almost impossible to go any further, or else they would have to pay an extremely heavy price.
The wizard camp knew this as well, which was why they wisely chose to stop advancing. While ensuring the current results of the battle, they continued to plunder the resources of the occupied territories and send them back to the wizard World.
In terms of harvest, the wizard camp had already made a big profit!
