Chapter 332.2 - I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory

On the other hand, having taken Lin Beifan’s advice, the Mohists adopted an assembly line approach to manufacturing mechanisms, and indeed, the efficiency was greatly improved.

In just half a month, they had produced 10 repeating crossbow carts.

It’s worth noting that the workers still couldn’t produce such precise parts without almost nine out of ten being scrapped.

Once their skills improved, the output was sure to increase exponentially.

“Your Majesty is wise!” Chu Tianming and the others were thoroughly convinced.

Now that the repeating crossbow carts were made, they naturally had to be tested.

……

One day, Lin Beifan led the generals to witness the power of the repeating crossbow carts.

“Your Majesty, this is our family’s repeating crossbow cart!”

Chu Tianming pointed proudly at a huge, oddly shaped steel behemoth beside him.

“How powerful is it?” Lin Beifan asked with a smile.

“Once it’s loaded, it can fire 60 large crossbow bolts and 600 small ones in the blink of an eye, inflicting massive casualties on a thousand-man squad!” Chu Tianming replied with a smile.

Lin Beifan had already known, so his face showed no expression. However, it was the first time the generals had heard of this, and they all gasped in astonishment.

“Is it really that powerful?” someone couldn’t help but ask.

“It’s strong. This is one of our Mohist school’s proudest creations! Moreover, six Piercing Crossbow Bolts are mounted on the roof of this cart. They are incredibly fast and can penetrate the Astral Qi of an Innate master! If a True Qi level Innate master is hit, death is certain! Even an Astral Qi level Innate master, if hit, would be severely injured if not killed!”

The crowd gasped again: “Even Innate masters can be threatened…”

“Seeing is believing.”

Chu Tianming said to Lin Beifan with a bow, “Your Majesty, we are ready and can start at any time!”

Lin Beifan waved his hand: “Then let’s begin. I’m very much looking forward to it!”

At the same time, he silently thought to himself: Upgrade!

In the blink of an eye, the repeating crossbow carts shone with light, all undergoing an upgrade.

Chu Tianming rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things.

When he realized nothing had changed, he gave up and shouted to the Mohist disciples, “Begin!”

“Yes, Master!” The Mohist disciples immediately sprang into action.

In groups of four, they operated the repeating crossbow vehicles, aiming at hundreds of clay figures a hundred paces away.

In an instant, 600 small crossbow bolts were fired.

The clay figures a hundred paces away were completely shattered by the rain of bolts.

The crowd gasped once more, and one of the generals said, “The strength of these clay figures is almost like that of a real human body! And they’re even wearing armor, equivalent to ordinary soldiers! Yet, they were all penetrated by the bolts. The power of these bolts is enough to threaten those with Acquired strength. Impressive!”

“Indeed!” the other generals nodded in agreement.

With 600 bolts fired simultaneously, which army could withstand that?

However, the Mohist disciples were somewhat puzzled.

Although the bolts fired from the repeating crossbow carts were indeed strong, they didn’t think they were enough to threaten those with Acquired strength.

Suppressing his inner doubts, Chu Tianming said, “Continue firing, this time with the large bolts!”

The repeating crossbow carts aimed at a wall two hundred zhang away.

In an instant, 60 large bolts flew out, turning the one-foot-thick wall, two hundred zhang away, into a sieve.

“Goodness! The power of these large bolts is even more terrifying. Even an Innate master could be destroyed if they’re not careful!”

“So this is the Mohist repeating crossbow cart… I’ve finally witnessed its power!” the generals of Great Xia praised one after another.

Only the Mohists remained puzzled, wondering how the large bolts had become so powerful without their knowledge.

Lin Beifan watched the Mohists’ puzzled faces and secretly smiled, saying, “Everyone, please continue! The small bolts and the large bolts have pleased me greatly! Now only the Piercing Bolts are left, show them quickly!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” The Mohists immediately released the Piercing Bolts.

“Swoosh”

Six Piercing Bolts shot out like meteors.

An artificial structure three hundred zhang away, with a base three zhang wide and six zhang high, was blown to pieces!

Everyone gasped!

The power was comparable to a full-strength strike from an Imperial Qi strong martial artist!

In one word: powerful!

Lin Beifan was very satisfied. The repeating crossbow cart was outrageously strong after his upgrade!

Just one repeating crossbow cart can pose a threat to several Innate experts, and even Imperial Qi masters are no exception! As for those below Innate level, they stand no chance at all!

Lin Beifan smiled slightly: “Generals, who among you wants this repeating crossbow cart?”
