427: Defend the Ming Dynasty and unite against external enemies.
The confidence that Geng Rutai had just boosted vanished in the blink of an eye!
These three giant cannons, two Formations, and less than ten High Grade Profound Weapons are useless!
Everyone knows that the greatest advantage of exotic beasts is their endless numbers, and this is even more true for the Sea Race. These great killing weapons can at most eliminate a few strong Sea Race members who are not careful. Once they discover the power of these great killing weapons, who wouldn't avoid them? Can these great killing weapons chase and kill them?
Geng Rutai saw the expressions of the crowd, and a hint of awkwardness flashed across his face. He cleared his throat a few times and said, "Since these great killing weapons have only recently been developed, their numbers are limited. Therefore, we can only deploy them in the two capital cities of Shuntian Prefecture and Yingtian Prefecture. We will also deploy one Thunder God Cannon in Linhai City. It will form our main battleground for ambushing strong Sea Race members along with Yingtian Prefecture. Our current main strategy is that if our experts encounter an enemy that is difficult to kill, they will lure them to Linhai City or Yingtian Prefecture. As long as they enter the range of our great killing weapons, the mission will be complete!"
"Lure and kill?!" Everyone's eyes lit up. This seemed like a good strategy. The Sea Race's intelligence was definitely not as high as that of the Human Race. Luring them over and then eliminating them was indeed a good method.
The crucial question was, who would serve as the bait for this tactic?
This was an extremely risky mission. If one were to be killed midway before reaching Linhai City or Yingtian Prefecture, wouldn't it be a pointless death?
Thinking of this, everyone's expressions froze, and they fell silent. No one wanted to step forward to be the bait. At that time, it would only depend on who encountered misfortune first. The atmosphere in the imperial court was somewhat oppressive...
Prince An also looked rather helpless at this scene. He had already thought of this point. Prince Zhao's Tiangong Group had indeed researched many good things, but unfortunately, the quantity was too small to achieve mass production. This prevented the combat power from being fully unleashed, and the difference between having them and not having them was not too great. The three great killing weapons Geng Rutai had just displayed at most enhanced the defensive capabilities of Shuntian Prefecture and Yingtian Prefecture and could only be used as trump cards. As for using them as traps to ambush enemy strong practitioners, for the entire war, it could only be described as a drop in the bucket...
However, he still thought of a remedial method. He gestured to Qi Wuxia, who understood and spoke, "Everyone, the great killing weapons researched by the Tiangong Group over the years are extremely precious to our Great Ming. Moreover, they have also promised to refine more High Grade Profound Weapons to support our military in the coming time. For every additional Thunder God Cannon, we will have an additional enemy-killing trap, and every High Grade Profound Weapon can greatly enhance the combat power of our high-level Xuan Practitioners. Especially the Ten Thousand Soldiers Gathering Profound Formation, Prince An has already agreed that any Family that actively participates in the defense war can obtain a simplified version of the Formation. The Xuan Power gathered by this Formation is enough to unleash the combat power level of an Early Stage Martial Commander, and it can completely become one of the foundations of a Family and force!"
"Wow!!!" Everyone exclaimed, their spirits greatly uplifted!
Such a Formation is definitely a Sharp Weapon for survival for some small Families and minor forces, because it means they will possess Martial Commander-level combat power. In today's world, this is absolutely what they dream of.
And for some large Families and major forces, they can also form a Martial Commander combat power in a short period, greatly increasing their foundation!
It can be said that the Ten Thousand Soldiers Gathering Profound Formation is currently the great killing weapon that can most easily form immediate combat power, and it is also what every Family and force urgently needs, because no one knows when the Sea Race will attack, or when a Breakthrough will occur. If they kill to the doorstep of one's own Family, without the power to deter them, there is a possibility of Family destruction and death.
Lin Hong's eyes rolled, and he bowed respectfully to Prince An, saying, "Your Highness Prince An, protecting our homeland and defending our country is the unshirkable responsibility of every Family. May I ask if this simplified version of the Formation can be granted to us in advance, so that we can train early to prevent unforeseen circumstances?"
"Well asked!" Prince An praised.
Then he continued, "Granted! Every Family and force can obtain this simplified version of the Formation in advance, but at the same time, they must also provide manpower and resources according to the military's requirements. The specific ratio will be coordinated and determined by the military and you! As for Profound Weapons, due to the limited number of High Grade Profound Weapons, they are currently controlled by the military, but High Grade Profound Weapons can be exchanged for supplies. The specific prices will be announced later!"
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince An! I have one more thing to say, I wonder if I should speak?" Lin Hong said.
"Speak!"
"Your humble servant has learned from Xuanji Tower and other sources that the number of strong Sea Race members is extremely large, and their combat power far exceeds that of Martial Commanders. Currently, they are pushing back strong nations such as Snow Eagle Country, War Bear Country, and Flying Lion Country. If the Sea Race attacking our Great Ming also has such strong practitioners, I am afraid that even with our great killing weapons, it will be difficult to resist!"
"Oh? Continue!" Prince An said without changing his expression.
"Yes! Your humble servant also learned that in those three great nations, there are strong practitioners from Xuanji Tower participating in the resistance against the Sea Race. Many cities were able to hold on precisely because of their participation. Therefore, your humble servant believes that we must also invite strong practitioners from Xuanji Tower to help us!" Lin Hong said.
Prince An nodded, praising, "Family Head Lin worries about the country and the people, and has offered this strategy to our Great Ming, he should be rewarded! This Prince will discuss this matter with the Master of Xuanji Tower in the coming days, and I believe the Master of Xuanji Tower will not fail the trust of our Great Ming!"
"Your Highness is wise!" Lin Hong quickly said.
"In the face of great disaster, this Prince hopes that everyone present can put aside all internal grievances, work together, and unite against the outside! As the saying goes, when the nest is overturned, how can any egg remain intact? Without the protection of Great Ming, all Families and forces will only be scattered sand, to be slaughtered and harvested by the Sea Race, exotic beasts, and cultists! This Prince hopes that everyone present, and all Xuan Practitioners, can take up arms to defend the safety and dignity of our Great Ming. Those who offend our Great Ming, we will certainly return it twofold!!!" Prince An said with powerful conviction.
"Defend Great Ming! Unite against the outside!"
"Defend Great Ming! Unite against the outside!"
"Defend Great Ming! Unite against the outside!"
"Long live Prince An! Long live! Long, long live!!!"
This imperial court meeting ended in an atmosphere of great excitement, and it also marked a landmark meeting for Great Ming's resistance against the Sea Race invasion. During the meeting, a large number of strategies were determined, and these strategies were quickly implemented after the meeting. Cities along the entire coastline began to actively take action. These actions included the large-scale evacuation of people from scattered coastal settlements, strengthening defenses, digging deep traps, intensifying training, equipping defensive weapons, practicing Formations, and so on. People in the cities along the coast were all on high alert, throwing themselves into war preparations. A scene of collective national war preparation like this had not appeared in Great Ming for hundreds of years, and many people could feel a chilling atmosphere spreading from it...
