Chapter 470: Chapter 51: Grassman Success, Array Broken, Qi Yuanzi’s Shock! (6K)_4

"Fire!"

The Fire Crossbow Camp of Great Zhou, usually referring to a warship’s Fire Crossbow Camp, required at least a Fifth Order Supreme Warship for equipment.

This was because smaller ships simply didn’t have the space, as a single crossbow cannon measured 108 meters in length and 15 meters in width.

The crossbow cannon consisted of five parts: the base, fire stone, crossbow mechanism, firing muzzle, and crossbow arrow.

A Fifth Order crossbow cannon, with a capacity of sixteen hundred, could shoot eighty fire crossbow arrows per second. Calling them arrows wasn’t quite accurate; they were more like giant spears.

A Fifth Order crossbow arrow was extendable, being five meters long and wrist-thick before firing, and expanded to thigh-thick and fifteen meters long after launch.

The fire crossbow arrow was a three-stage device. The latter two segments, inscribed with mechanical arrays, contained a total of 1,285 channels to provide propulsion to the tip during flight, accelerating it to at least five chirps per second!

The arrowhead was a three-layered sleeve design, capable of breaking barriers and penetrating warships. Upon impact, it wouldn’t immediately detonate the internal array but would explode a few seconds after penetration.

Its inner two layers, or the core layer, were composed of Fifth Order firecrackers.

Only elite units were typically equipped with the Fire Crossbow Camp, as regular armies would soon deplete their materials during battles.

This was because crafting these required elite craftsmen like Mr. Wang, as ordinary craftsmen couldn’t master such sophisticated mechanical array techniques. Additionally, Fifth Order firecrackers weren’t something the general Minister of Agriculture could mass-produce.

"Buzz~" One cyan stream after another shot out from the left rudder of the Dragon Bone Warship.

No sound of splitting air was heard, as the wind resistance was nullified by the wind formation on the crossbow arrow. The cyan color was due to this effect.

The arrowhead would only turn red upon hitting the target.

After giving the order, Wang Ji kept his eyes on the target area ahead.

From his perspective, the area Zhao Xing aimed to strike appeared to be a vast, unobstructed sky.

But shortly after the crossbow cannon fired, he quickly saw a burst of red light, indicating a hit.

However, Wang Ji still couldn’t see what exactly had been hit.

Zhao Xing, standing on the deck with his Heavenly Eye activated, saw a fleet of all-black flying boats, bearing ghost head soul sails, being struck down in that area of the sky.

"This was the airborne base of the Enchanting Array, designed to confuse the mind and also possess attack power. Approaching it would impact one’s Life Soul, causing damage at best or death at worst." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"With three hundred flying boats suspended along the route, this many suggests I’m nearly out of the Enchanting Array."

Sure enough, after the Fire Crossbow Camp on the Dragon Bone Warship shot down these flying boats.

In less than two quarters, Zhao Xing saw a city ahead. The Heavenly Time returned to normal, the calendar ceased to give warnings, and the orientation and timing were back in their proper places.

It indicated that his team had already exited the Enchanting Array.

"Sure enough, Lao Liu is impressive! His mastery of Array Formation Skill is remarkable." Zhao Xing couldn’t help but praise.

.....

"This person is a Military Minister of Agriculture Officer, yet he also masters the Array Formation Skill. Truly extraordinary!"

After Zhao Xing’s warship fleet flew past, in a valley below.

Morick watched the black soul sails drop from the sky, his expression shaken. This was something they had prepared a long time ago.

"This person is no ordinary character. Using the Five Elements as a foundation and the Yin Soul Ship as an array, he still managed to get through." Qi Yuanzi’s eyes were filled with shock, "My Xuantian Sect’s array, designed to block the sky and the earth, still couldn’t stop him."

"Morick, let’s retreat. Don’t think of ambushing him anymore, and we need to retreat immediately. Otherwise, we may very well be encircled by the army ahead! Too late, and we won’t escape this trap!"
