Chapter 130: A Heavy Price
"That's it," Lei miraculously appeared in his hand a burning stick-like thing, separated everyone and swept it into the distance, turning a thick stone pillar of a hall hundreds of feet away that had not completely collapsed into a hornet's nest, turning around and saying, "This thing is called an assault rifle, and it will be the main weapon equipped by ordinary soldiers of the Volunteer Army." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Assault rifles?" A high-level officer was a little strange, thinking that this strange thing was nothing special in the sky and the earth compared to those howitzers, but before he finished speaking, he heard a crisp sound of Gaba Gaba, and the stone pillar that was dozens of zhang high and could only be hugged by more than a dozen people suddenly shook violently, and then fell to the ground violently, and everyone looked at it in shock, but saw that the middle of the stone pillar had been smashed piece by piece!
"This ......"
The higher-ups were taken aback. As the former site of the old Heavenly Court in the Immortal Realm, all the buildings of the Xuanwu Academy are made of the most brilliant, high-grade and sturdy materials in the Immortal Realm. But this thunderbolt fired a few shots at this stone pillar, and completely interrupted a huge stone pillar? What exactly is this assault rifle made of?
In a look of astonishment, Lei Dong slowly stroked the rifle in his hand, looking affectionate: "This assault rifle is similar to a howitzer in principle, but the power is much smaller, and each bullet can only be comparable to the full force of a monk in the early stage of the Heavenly Immortal in terms of penetrating ability." ”
A blow from the early stage of the Heavenly Immortals? Is that much less powerful? In a buzzing discussion, Lei Dong opened the conversation: "But he also has some points that artillery does not have, first of all, it is small and easy to carry, no external traction, no space magic weapon to carry, just carry it directly on your body; Second, the operation is simple and easy to learn, a monk with a normal IQ can initially master the shooting skills after concentrating on training for a quarter of an hour, can ensure accurate shooting in one hour, and can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy after three days of hard training; The third and most important is the fast rate of fire - more than 200 rounds per minute, ten times higher than a howitzer, think about it, if ten people with such a gun, they can organize a powerful crossfire, cover a large area of the enemy, and the combat effect is not bad at all! ”
As long as they thought about the situation where thousands of disciples under the sect were holding assault rifles, forming a terrifying fire net, and the 108,000 Heavenly Immortal Cultivators were attacking at the same time, these people were a little excited. The master of a small sect hesitated and asked, "This...... This assault rifle, can you give us? There was some gain and loss in his tone.
"Of course! Since it is taken out, it is meant to be used by everyone. Lei Dong nodded, and then said with a slightly embarrassed look on his face, "It's just that the production of this kind of firearm also requires a cost, although the younger generation is also willing to provide it to everyone for free, but ......"
"So, how much does it cost?" The small sect master asked cautiously.
"This ...... For the great cause of resisting the enemy in the fairy world, we only charge the cost price, a gun, plus 100,000 rounds of ammunition, and 1,000 catties of medium-grade spirit stones! Lei Dong gritted his teeth.
"Huh? A thousand catties of medium-grade spirit stones? The executives were dumbfounded.
"Why, is it too expensive, this really can't be lowered......" thundered
"No, no, no, it's not expensive, it's not expensive, I want three thousand!"
"I want 20,000!"
"I want 8,000!"
"I want 100,000!"
A group of high-level executives were stunned, joking, expensive? Such a good thing can be obtained as long as 1,000 catties of medium-grade spirit stones, and it also comes with 100,000 powerful bullets, where can I find such a price? It's not just this price to refine and create a desirable magic weapon for each disciple?
Besides, there is nothing in the major sects, that is, there are many spirit stones, especially the medium-grade spirit stones are the most common things in the fairy world, which sect does not have hundreds of millions of catties of family background? What's more, there are no medium-grade spirit stones, and there are still high-grade and best-in-class!
"It's too dark, isn't it?" Only one side secretly cursed in his heart, just this lite version of the broken thing, can it be sold for so much money? What is the rate of fire of 200 rounds, it is clearly cutting corners, at least the one in the hands of the dark clouds, the rate of fire is more than 1,000 rounds. Moreover, Leng Qingqiu and the explosive cartridge casings and other things they developed, the cost is very low, and the materials are everywhere, a rifle plus 100,000 rounds of ammunition is not worth a hundred catties of top-grade spirit stones, but Lei Dong, a black-hearted arms dealer, dares to sell a thousand catties!
And this guy doesn't tell anyone, in fact, guns have a lifespan, and bullets are very easy to consume, as long as you buy a gun, you have to buy ammunition in the future, and you have to replace the gun if it breaks, otherwise what is the difference between this thing and a burning stick - it's all money!
And when he is mixed in the underworld, let alone a thousand catties, a hundred catties can make a group of people fight for their heads. Is it because the guys in the fairy world are too rich, or are they all brains broken? The dark cloud groaned, closed his eyes and hugged his head, and couldn't bear to look at it anymore.
"Wait, wait," the enthusiasm of the high-level leaders made Lei Dong startled, and hurriedly waved his hand and shouted, "The number of things will be talked about later, I have something else here!" ”
"And?" The higher-ups stopped for a moment, watching Lei conjure up a fist-sized ball in his hand, and the pimples on it were ugly. Then Jia saw Lei Dong pull open the iron ring on the ball, and with a slight wave of his arm, the ball flew accurately to the point of the half-cut stone pillar that had just been broken and was still poking on the ground.
"Boom!" The flames soared into the sky, the sound shook the ears for a while, and the high-level officials watched as the half of the stone pillar was blown apart, and countless fragments of the size of fingernails swept out hundreds of zhang in all directions like a torrential rain, and after a sudden sound, there were hundreds of deep holes on a few large stones that turned up hundreds of zhang away.
"Type 01 grenade," in the frightened eyes of the high-level leaders, the thunderous voice was calm but a little indescribable, "Using the same explosives as the howitzer, the explosion power is equivalent to a full blow from the late Tianxian to the peak of the Tianxian, and at the same time splashes out eight hundred iron beads and one hundred fragments, which can carry out a covering strike on all targets within three hundred zhang without dead ends, and each iron ball is equivalent to a blow in the middle stage of a true immortal!" ”
Lei Dong paused after speaking, this time he didn't wait for anyone to ask, and said directly: "At least 1,000 pieces, 500 catties of medium-grade spirit stones!" ”
"Also, with offensive weapons, of course you need defensive weapons to ensure your own safety!" Lei Dong has completely entered the state of an arms dealer, took out a vest-style garment, and spitted and promoted, "Zero-one type body armor, using the toughest silk in the fairy world as the main material, mixed with thirteen kinds of high-strength materials such as black gold essence, plus a miniature protective formation, weighing only eleven catties, soft texture, easy to wear, does not affect the action at all, and can resist the attack of the twelve-winged birdman light saber from thirty zhang away - ten catties of each high-grade spirit stone!" ”
……
The dark clouds couldn't stand it anymore, holding their heads and shrinking to the side and sighing, the old man Nishan and Ao Sen glanced at each other, and they also forced a smile and turned their heads away, with a crying and laughing expression, and now this guy who is selling all kinds of strange weapons is really thunderous?
After thousands of high-ranking sects rushed to place orders, were satisfied with the promise that Lei Dong would deliver the goods in the shortest possible time, and returned to their seats with excitement, the battle in Sun Moon City had ended without any suspense. Including the fourteen-winged birdman commander, none of the hundreds of millions of demons and birdmen who were surrounded on the battlefield left alive, and all of them were annihilated outside Sun Moon City by fierce artillery fire.
This largest battle in the history of the immortal world has finally come to an end. Counting the results of the battle, from the encounter between the two armies of Lemachuan, to the breakthrough of the blockade line by the volunteers, to the battle and retreat of the various armies in Sun Moon City, and finally to the two battles in Sun Moon City and Xuanwu Yuan at the same time, this war that lasted half a month wiped out a total of 180 million demons, including 53 demon kings, and a total of 350 million birdmen at all levels were annihilated, of which more than 10,000 wings were more than 10,000 wings, and more than 10 million wings were 12 wings. Rely on your subordinates to blow themselves up and escape without a trace!
This was undoubtedly an unprecedented victory, and the news spread quickly, and the monks in the fairy world who were watching this great battle were all rejoicing.
But it is difficult for those who have seen the full report of the battle, and those who have seen how the brutal battlefield devoured lives, to rejoice, because behind such a great victory is the same heavy sacrifice.
In this battle, nearly 8 million monks in Haotianmen were killed in battle, more than 2 million were killed, more than 500,000 were seriously wounded, including those who were seriously injured and disabled, and only 300,000 were lightly injured.
The number of deaths exceeds the number of serious injuries, and the number of serious injuries exceeds the minor injuries, this extremely unreasonable casualty ratio can only show one thing, that is, in this battle, Haotianmen has done its best, except for those who are seriously injured and unable to fight again, everyone else basically fought to the end, until the last drop of blood was shed.
And what everyone understands is that more than seventy percent of such huge casualties occurred before the Battle of Sun Moon City. In Sun Moon City, if it weren't for the timely arrival of the seven group armies of the Volunteers, I don't know how far this casualty would have been, and it is unknown that Haotianmen would have been wiped out and collapsed.
And the army of more than 2 million people, mainly composed of Kunlun Immortal Mountain and the Demon Clan, also killed more than 80,000 people in this battle, and more than 200,000 were wounded!
Everyone who saw this casualty figure had a heavy face, although the demons and birdmen were defeated and lost, but the immortal world had also completely damaged their vitality. If you add the several super sects that were disabled before, as well as countless small and medium-sized sects that were completely destroyed, after this battle, the power of the immortal world is almost on the verge of collapse, and the road to war in the future is probably still very long.
Perhaps the only consolation is that after paying an extremely heavy price, the fairy world finally temporarily stabilized the trend of collapse, and stopped the trend of falling in time on the edge of the cliff, winning itself a chance to breathe.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ten days later, Sun Moon City.
The embers of the war have not completely disappeared, and there are still pieces of ruins inside and outside the city, but the rolling torrent composed of countless people has gathered five hundred miles west of the city along the road that has just cleared a little bit of shape.
Among them, there were civilians who originally lived in the city, displaced people who fled here, and passers-by who passed through the area but were unfortunately drawn into the war.
On their faces, there are the aftermath of the war, the luck of the rest of their lives, and the excitement and ecstasy after witnessing an incredible victory.
They gathered in one place from all directions, with the sole purpose of seeing with their own eyes the heroes who had saved them, and to pay tribute to the souls who gave their lives to save them.
Because on this day, in a vacant lot five hundred miles west of the city, in front of the newly completed monument to the heroes, there will be a large-scale commemorative ceremony.
It is a huge stone tablet with a base side of 100 zhang, a monument body of 17 zhang and a height of 210 zhang, representing the 17-day war and 2.1 million dead heroes. The body of the stele is octahedral, and the whole body is made of the strongest obsidian spar in the fairy world, without any fancy decoration at all, just standing on the ground, like a sharp sword straight into the sky.
On the front of the stele, it is the eight characters of the handwriting of the most virtuous and respected old man of Nishan in the fairy world: generous donation, immortal soul. The font is simple, the pen is strong, and a solemn wind is blowing in the face.
The other seven sides of the monument are engraved with the name of each martyr in this battle. One by one, the names are densely packed from the ground to the top, which makes people look at it with admiration.
The entire monument, including the base, is wrapped in a tight formation, faintly emitting seven-colored brilliance, looking from afar, like a lighthouse that will never be extinguished, guiding the direction for the fairy world.
Solemn, solemn, high-spirited, forge ahead.
Everyone who sees this monument can't help but feel this way.
In advance, it was also proposed that this monument should be built in the Xuanwu Temple, or in the Haotian Gate, after all, it was the most admired center in the fairy world, and in this battle, it also played an irreplaceable central role. But whether it was Lei Dong, or the old man of Nishan, or the dragon king Ao Sen, they resolutely rejected this proposal and insisted on choosing the site in the west of Sun Moon City. They had only one reason: this was the place where the battle was fiercest, the place where the Dharma Body was the site of a major victory, and the place where the bones of many Heroic Souls were buried, and there was no place more suitable for the Heroic Souls who had been lost in the war for several years.
Thus, in just seven days, a magnificent and solemn monument, together with a huge square that stretched for more than 100 miles, had risen from the ground. Countless people were involved in this work, including many civilians and passers-by in the city.
In their hearts, although they can't do anything for this big war, for the sake of those lost heroes, even if they do some posthumous work!
