429: Chapter 429 Shi Le, who looked forward to the power of mortars

The eyes of everyone in the Shiyang Tribe looking at Xiao Zhuang had completely transformed into those of reverence.

Having witnessed Great Qin display such immensely powerful weapons, they knew deep down that from now on, it would be difficult for any power in this world to contend with Great Qin.

Shi Le's ability to sit firmly in the position of tribal chief was by no means due solely to his background, but rather his vision and wisdom that far surpassed ordinary people.

He knew very well in his heart that it was only a matter of time before the Hexi Corridor fell into the hands of Great Qin.

Any force that dared to oppose Great Qin would be like ants before those mysterious and powerful weapons, ruthlessly dismantled and torn to pieces.

At this moment, Shi Le already had a plan in mind.

If the Shiyang Tribe could take refuge with Great Qin as soon as possible, they would be the first to surrender once Great Qin took control of the Hexi Corridor.

This way, if Great Qin had any benefits in the future, they would naturally get their share.

Shi Le subtly exchanged a look with the Great Elder and several other elders; the group instantly understood and shared meaningful, knowing smiles.

Immediately after, Shi Le turned to Xiao Zhuang and the Special Forces Members behind him with a face full of smiles, a grin so bright it almost distorted his features.

"Oh, Lord Xiao Zhuang, your arrival in our Shiyang Tribe's territory makes you our most distinguished guest! We've been meeting for so long, yet I haven't properly fulfilled my duties as a host to entertain you. It's truly a sin, a sin!"

As Shi Le spoke, he walked quickly to Xiao Zhuang and said eagerly, "You must give me this chance to host you properly!"

"Alright."

Xiao Zhuang agreed without the slightest hesitation.

He understood in his heart that there would be many more occasions to deal with the Shiyang Tribe in the future; building a good relationship in advance would make future work much smoother.

"Great, great, great!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Le's eyes lit up with excitement, and he said hurriedly, "I'll immediately order people to prepare a feast, guaranteed to satisfy you and all the warriors!" After saying that, he quickly arranged for personnel to prepare, then returned to Xiao Zhuang's side to chat with him.

"Lord Xiao Zhuang, what exactly is the name of that weapon with such astonishing firepower you showed us earlier?"

Shi Le asked with a face full of curiosity.

Hearing this, the Great Elder and the other elders of the Shiyang Tribe also turned their gazes toward Xiao Zhuang, their eyes filled with anticipation; clearly, they had been curious about the name of this mysterious weapon for a long time.

Xiao Zhuang smiled slightly and replied unhurriedly, "That weapon is called a heavy machine gun."

"heavy machine gun? The name itself sounds domineering!"

A look of amazement flashed in Shi Le's eyes, and he immediately followed up with an eager question, "Such a powerful weapon must have been created by some extraordinary figure, right?"

Xiao Zhuang's expression instantly became one of solemn respect, and he said with a hint of irrepressible pride, "This heavy machine gun was personally invented and created by His Majesty the Head of State."

"Ah!"

Shi Le couldn't help but let out a soft cry, his eyes filled with admiration and shock as he praised sincerely, "His Majesty the Head of State is truly a god-man descended to earth! To be able to create such a powerful divine weapon is truly admirable!"

Seeing Shi Le's high interest in weapons, Xiao Zhuang added, "Actually, we have another weapon called a mortar. We brought it along with us on this trip as well."

As he spoke, Xiao Zhuang signaled the soldiers beside him to carry the mortar over for Shi Le to see.

Seeing this, Shi Le quickly stood up, hurried forward in a few steps, and stared intently at the military-green mortar, his eyes filled with novelty and inquiry.

He reached out and gently stroked the barrel, feeling its cold and hard texture, muttering incessantly, "So this is the mortar. Just looking at it feels extraordinary; it exudes an aura that makes one's heart tremble."

Then, Shi Le looked up at Xiao Zhuang with a hint of desire and expectation in his eyes and said, "Lord Xiao Zhuang, could you let me see for myself and witness the power of this mortar?"

Xiao Zhuang shook his head helplessly and said, "Shi Le, His Majesty the Head of State did not permit us to demonstrate the power of this mortar, so I am truly sorry."

Hearing this, a look of deep regret instantly appeared on Shi Le's face. He frowned slightly, sighed softly, and said, "Alas, what a pity. I was full of anticipation to witness the shocking scene of this mortar showing its might. I suppose I'll have to wait for the next opportunity."

After speaking, he cast another lingering look at the mortar, his mind constantly imagining the spectacular, earth-shaking scene when it fired.
