426: Big weapon
Geng Rutai gave him a deep look; he naturally recognized this person. It was Lin Hong, the Family Head of the Lin Family, a newly rising great Family in Yingtian Prefecture.
The Lin Family's influence had expanded extremely rapidly in recent years, subtly showing signs of rivaling super Families like the Qi Family, Geng Family, and Yu Family.
Therefore, he naturally became the representative of various newly promoted Families, which explained why Lin Hong dared to voice his doubts in such an occasion.
However, the question he raised was not nitpicking, but something highly likely to happen, which definitely needed careful consideration from the Great Ming side.
It was just that his bringing it up first undoubtedly highlighted the Lin Family's current status in Yingtian Prefecture.
"For Family Head Lin to have such concerns shows his foresight.
In fact, regarding this issue, our military also has corresponding arrangements, called the 'Decapitation Plan'!" Geng Rutai said in a deep voice.
"Decapitation Plan?!" Everyone in the hall was startled.
Lin Hong's eyes flickered, and he asked suspiciously, "Decapitation? General Geng, do you mean we have a backup plan to deal with the strong practitioners of the Sea Race?"
"Haha, that's right! Family Head Lin, you may not know this, but after many years of research and development by our military and the Tiangong Group, we now possess many great killing weapons, including high-grade Mystic Cannons, top-grade Profound Weapons, and a Ten Thousand Soldiers Gathering Profound Formation!"
"Wow—" Everyone's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and their confidence greatly increased.
Lin Hong frowned slightly. He had vaguely heard about the information Geng Rutai mentioned, but he only knew about the high-grade Mystic Cannons and top-grade Profound Weapons.
What about that Ten Thousand Soldiers Gathering Profound Formation?
He said, "General Geng, Mystic Cannons pose little threat to high-level powerful practitioners, and no matter how good Profound Weapons are, their maximum effectiveness depends on who wields them.
As for that Ten Thousand Soldiers Gathering Profound Formation, does the General think that once a Xuan Practitioner reaches a higher Realm, he can still be overwhelmed by sheer numbers?"
"Well said! I won't waste any more words.
Please, everyone, take a look at the training videos of these great killing weapons from the Tiangong Group!" After Geng Rutai finished speaking, he looked at Prince An in the main seat.
Seeing him nod slightly, he waved his hand and projected a light screen.
The scene unfolded, and the first thing to appear was a colossal Mystic Cannon, a full ten zhang tall, with a muzzle reaching five zhang.
It resembled an ancient monstrous beast, sprawled on the ground, majestic and chilling!
"Hiss—" Everyone gasped, never having seen such a massive Mystic Cannon before!
Just to operate it, there were five teams of warriors, each consisting of twenty people.
One team was responsible for transporting ammunition, one for loading, one for firing, one for cooling and cleaning, and another for protection.
A hundred people formed a battle team, capable of firing one shell approximately every ten minutes.
According to the damage indicator, one shot from such a giant cannon could severely injure a Martial Commander-level strong practitioner!
"Oh my god!" Everyone exclaimed, instantly invigorated and excited, as if they all saw the giant cannon striking down Sea Race strong practitioners...
The scene shifted, revealing several Xuan Practitioner warriors.
Some held long spears, some long sabers, and some great swords.
They performed charges, fierce slashes, and horizontal cuts against test stones.
Those incredibly hard test stones were easily cut open like tofu, turning into powder...
Everyone present was a high-level Xuan Practitioner, naturally aware of the hardness of those test stones.
They could completely withstand the power of a Martial General-level practitioner, and even endure several attacks from a Martial Commander.
Yet, before those Profound Weapons, they were like trash, showing that those Profound Weapons had indeed reached the top-grade level, otherwise such a miracle would be impossible.
Moreover, the warriors conducting the test were only at the Martial Master level.
If a Martial General or Martial Commander were to use such Profound Weapons against an enemy, their combat power would surely increase significantly, and their destructive power would be unimaginable.
After realizing this, everyone's breathing became heavy, wishing they could immediately obtain such a top-grade Profound Weapon.
Each top-grade Profound Weapon of this kind was enough to become a Family's foundation, an absolute treasure of Legacy that was hard to come by!
Before they could think further, a massive battle Formation appeared in the scene, with a staggering number of ten thousand people!
Ten thousand warriors each held a long saber.
They formed a giant circular Formation according to specific battle positions.
The circle was divided into three rings, with warriors of higher Cultivation in the inner rings.
As their Cultivation Technique operated, three streams of Saber Qi gathered on the Formation, sharp and gleaming!
"Kill!" The warriors in the outermost ring shouted in unison.
The smallest stream of Saber Qi slashed out with a "whoosh," heading straight for a distant pile of rocks.
With a "puchi," the Saber Qi cut through a large section of rocks, leaving a clean cut surface on the mountainside, with gravel flying wildly, astounding everyone!
"Kill!!!"
"Kill!!!!"
With two more furious shouts, two more streams of Saber Qi flew out in succession.
The rocks were cut in half like tofu, rumbling and rolling down, raising a large sandstorm...
Woah woah woah woah woah...
Everyone exclaimed, their faces changing drastically.
They hadn't expected that the combined efforts of thousands of warriors could unleash such sharp Saber Qi.
Such destructive power could completely rival the combat strength of a Martial Commander-level practitioner, especially the largest stream of Saber Qi, which very likely had reached the combat strength level of a Martial Commander Late Stage!
Lin Hong's face also showed an incredulous expression, and he couldn't help but ask, "General Geng, how did they manage to do this? Such a Saber Formation is truly unprecedented!"
"Haha, this Saber Formation is called the 'Ten Thousand Soldiers Gathering Profound Formation'.
Each Formation is composed of ten thousand Xuan Practitioners, and each person Cultivates the same Saber Technique, Spear Technique, or Sword Technique.
When operating, they can first nurture and gather their Saber Qi, Sword Qi, and Spear Qi, and if an enemy invades, they can launch a killing move.
This was created by the Tiangong Group and our military after more than a decade of secret research!" Geng Rutai said proudly.
"Is that so?!" Lin Hong and the others were utterly shocked.
They hadn't expected that Saber Formations, Sword Formations, and Spear Formations could be used in such a way.
If so, couldn't such killing Formations also be adopted by Family forces?
If all members of a Family Cultivated the same Cultivation Technique, and then used the military's Formation as shown to nurture and gather their power, they could also repel strong enemies and become a Family's foundation!
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes were sharp, staring intently at that ten-thousand-person Formation, wondering how they could obtain the secret of that Formation from the Tiangong Group...
How could Geng Rutai not know the little schemes in the hearts of these Families and local forces?
But a Formation of this level naturally could not fall into their hands; it had to be controlled by the military and super Families.
He didn't clarify this here, but instead said, "Although we already have great killing weapons, there are still some problems in making them exert their power..."
"What problems?" Lin Hong quickly asked.
"The number of Giant Mystic Cannons and top-grade Profound Weapons is limited.
Currently, there are only three Giant Mystic Cannons, and the top-grade Profound Weapons do not exceed ten.
As for the Ten Thousand Soldiers Gathering Profound Formation, we currently only have two!"
"..."
"???"
Upon hearing this, everyone was speechless, their expressions bewildered...
