Chapter 153: Chapter 52: Materials That Can Be Shaped

Outside Anqing City, on the other side.

Chen Jian led his team and quietly left Anqing City. By this time, everything they had prepared inside the city was complete.

The rumors had fully spread, and the drugs had been delivered to the City Defense Army.

They even tested the effectiveness of the drugs during a sporadic Terror Demon attack on Anqing City the previous night.

Just as Chen Jian had anticipated, the Terror Demons had almost formed a conditioned reflex.

When that gas, which could plunge people into an abyss, dispersed, almost all of the Terror Demons fell into a temporary confusion.

----Of course, this confusion did not suppress their bloodthirsty urges; instead, it made their attacks even more fierce.

But it was precisely this result that made the Mechanical God Sect increasingly convinced of those "stories" circulating within the city.

After all, the Blood Skull had indeed been affected by the drug, which clearly was the first step of "control."

Thus, that night, the council hall in Anqing City was brightly lit.

When Chen Jian and his group left Anqing City, a large number of the Church Protection Army began to gather, and just like in Han Shui City, the Holy Blood of the Holy Blood Temple donned the blood-red uniforms that were only worn during formal, coordinated actions.

They were prepared for a major battle, and only a thin layer of obstacle remained in their way.

Now, Chen Jian was about to break through this obstacle.

Using the bombs he had just acquired from the Ring Chamber of Commerce.

The team headed towards the warehouse, and once they were outside the surveillance zone of Anqing City, Chen Jian opened the radio and reestablished contact with Yellow Stone City.

This time, he heard a piece of news that shocked him tremendously.

"...What are you saying? Huadu has launched an attack on Yellow Stone City?"

"What was the outcome?"

With a look of surprise, Chen Jian wasn’t particularly tense.

Because from Huang Yu’s tone, he had already guessed the result of this battle.

Clearly, Huadu failed.

As expected ---- it’s impossible to pull together a combat team in such a short time and have significant combat power.

They couldn’t have directly mobilized people from Huadu; perhaps they pushed a group of Terror Demons, Water Ghosts, or even hired a few mercenaries to launch an attack.

Honestly, such a team could indeed pose a huge threat to other small settlements.

But Yellow Stone City is not ordinary; every combatant there is equipped with automatic weapons!

Breaking in wasn’t that easy. What Chen Jian cared about most was how many personnel Yellow Stone City lost in the battle.

----However, Huang Yu’s next response turned his surprise into disbelief.

"...The other side came with over a hundred people, and we almost annihilated them; we also had some injuries."

"Four people were hit by their bullets and are now out of combat."

"Luckily, their wounds were on the limbs and should not be life-threatening."

"The biggest loss was the ammunition; we really couldn’t control the ammo usage and wasted a lot..."

When the words fell, not only Chen Jian but everyone else who heard Huang Yu’s transmission fell silent.

Over a hundred people, almost completely annihilated.

And their biggest loss was only ammunition.

What is going on??

How did they manage that??

Chen Jian asked Huang Yu his question, and after a few seconds of silence, he answered:

"Actually, we don’t know how we did it either.... but I followed the method taught by Captain He Shuo and conducted several exercises with them."

"Perhaps, coincidentally, their actions matched our exercise content."

"So, we fought very smoothly..."

"...Understood."

Chen Jian let out a long breath and didn’t ask further.

He indeed did not expect that Huang Yu’s initiative could reach such a level.

After receiving his warning, not only did Huang Yu immediately set up defenses, but he also organized exercises.....

This is definitely potential talent, and a major potential talent at that!

Although their opponents may not have been very strong, achieving such a result was beyond Chen Jian’s imagination.

At this moment, Chen Jian deeply understood the delight of encountering a capable ally.

And it wasn’t over yet.

Huang Yu’s surprises weren’t just this one.

After reporting the battle details to Chen Jian, he continued:

"This time, we didn’t capture much useful equipment, and their firearms weren’t as advanced as ours."

"But, at the beginning of the battle, we were shelled by them."

"The power of that shell seemed greater than the Mechanical God Sect’s smoothbore cannon, so after the battle ended, I took the risk of leading people to search the site where they fired."

"Then I found that their artillerymen had been shot dead by our machine guns, but the cannon remained."

"The cannon was really not an ordinary smoothbore cannon; it was small in size, yet not like the mortars you guys used."

"Exactly what it is... I can’t say, maybe you’ll only know when you come back."

"Understood. Preserve it properly."

Chen Jian turned to He Shuo, their eyes met, and without much communication, they tacitly had the same idea in mind.

Not a smoothbore cannon, small in size, not a mortar either.

Could it be a field howitzer?

If it really is that thing, then they’ve truly found a treasure...
