Chapter 987 Deadly Weapon

Even if I got such a shortcut to get many with cultivation, having another way wasn’t bad. After all, those with cultivation were the second and later on generations.

As for the first generation, who said it was too late for them to start cultivating?

“Was I late?” from the portal, and just before old Gan would arrive here, Lily appeared.

“No, we are just waiting for someone else to arrive.”

“Who?”

“That old man,” I noticed the fast approach of a chariot towards me. It was an old Gan indeed.

“Is he needed?” she looked at the old Gan in doubt, while I didn’t explain anything.

“Let’s get ready to start,” I held my horn and even before old Gan would jump over my chariot, I added, “one by one will step forward, explain how his weapon works, and then show a demonstration for all of us to see. If your weapon will cause great damage, or will attack a far away place, then you shall target the ocean and I will move away towards that location to see the results closely.”

“Lord… this… These…” old Gan looked surprised when he saw all these on the ground.

“These are going to help you and others,” I pointed at the twenty thousand group of blacksmiths, “and those are the ones with minds brilliant enough to invent new cool stuff. And we are going to test these things right now.”

“This…” old Gan expected me to take him to see Hescos. But I had such a new surprise that he never expected. “Such numbers… They can indeed help!”

“And I’m bringing more workers over,” Lily added, “they will help in mass producing your cool things,” she explained when old Gan gave her a questionable gaze.

“Hector race girl… Interesting,” old Gan muttered while gazing up and down. I knew what he was thinking about. Having the support of Toranks, and aiming at the throats of Hescos, so it wasn’t a surprise for me to gain a few trusted subordinates from Hectors, right?

“Do you have any issue with my race, moustache eyebrows old man?” Lily spoke in such aggressiveness, but old Gan only smiled.

“I don’t,” and he was wise enough to not expose any more of his inner thoughts. “What now lord?”

“It’s time to get them tested,” I motioned towards the small group of hundreds, “step forward and explain what you made, then test it,” I shouted using my horn, before one stepped forward.

“Hi lord, my name is Lorn. I’m excited and honoured to meet such a legendary lord of ours at last!” yet the first thing he said was these words filled with admiration and veneration.

“Legendary lord?” and from the side, old Gan showed a surprised reaction, while Lily laughed.

“It’s a long story, for later time,” I said to end this discussion before it’d start, “speak about your invention and show me its might then.”

“Thanks lord for such a chance,” he bowed before taking out a long spear. It was slightly thicker at one half, ending with something like an opened dragon mouth or something.

And when I thought he’d hold it vertically, he held it horizontally, just like he was holding a gun!

“This is my baby, it’s modified over the old stories I heard from my human mother,” this youth, Lorn, was a mix of human mother and a giant father.

I didn’t know how, so don’t think about asking me!

And just as he held it like this, he turned into the direction of the far away ocean. “It’s going to use the soldier’s spiritual power, burn it to release a deadly single pulse attack that can travel for a hundred miles or more.”

“Wait then for me to go there,” I said before turning over the group of blacksmiths of twenty thousands, “I want one of you to come. He will act as my speaker man when I’m far away to relay my orders.”

“Select me lord!”

“Pick me lord!”

“Please lord, select me!”

Many shouted, and soon the place turned into a mess. I randomly pointed at one to come without the need to say anything else. And that dude hurriedly ran towards my chariot, gaining himself a ton of envious looks.

He was a human, and had few scales covering up his forehead, elbows, and part of his neck.

“My name is Jacko, lord,” he said after coming on top of my chariot with a simple jump that showed that he already opened his cultivation base.

And his base wasn’t low or weak indeed!

I added him as a friend, “you’ll stay down below, and deliver my order to launch when I tell you.”

“Yes, lord. And thanks for such a chance. I got the lord as a friend, hooray!”

This dude… he kept jumping and shouting, while tons of envy eyes fell on him like poisonous daggers.

Yet he seemed to not care about any of that!

“Let’s go,” as I watched him stand beside Lorn, I moved my chariot fast towards the horizon. It took me half an hour to get there.

[Tell him to fire it!]

I sent and the two next to me were literally holding their breaths. I didn’t count too much over his weapon, but the next moment I heard a muffled bang from far, with a sharp light blazing from that direction.

Then it passed next to me like it was a meteorite! All I felt was intense bright red light before it slammed into the ocean almost twenty miles away.

*Rumble!*

And the moment it vanished into the ocean, a bright pillar of light rose up, expanding fast in all directions before it started to fade away in circles of red and yellow lights.

Then a violent shockwave came at my chariot, making it lose balance for a few seconds.

“This…” I was shocked by this! This weapon… It wasn’t just a simple one! It was one that I aimed and dreamt to get all this time.
