After reviewing the data for the 122mm howitzer, Lu Chen’s mouth curved slightly upward.

With such powerful weapons at hand, the cavalry of the Barbarian Tribe wouldn’t stand a chance.

Unfortunately, there were too few shells, only one thousand rounds.

Two hundred howitzers and just one thousand rounds of ammunition, the system was really stingy.

Although one thousand rounds might seem a lot, each howitzer only had five rounds. Not only that, he had to train the new army and let the soldiers see how the shells were fired.

Teaching the soldiers to use the 122mm howitzers would waste some ammunition, by the time they reached the battlefield, there wouldn’t be one thousand rounds left.

At this moment, Lu Chen called out to the people outside, “All right, come in.”

Hearing Lu Chen’s voice from deep within the cave, Mu Changtian and the others immediately entered.

As everyone entered the cave and saw the howitzers before them, they were momentarily stunned.

What is this?

Were these things in the cave before?

Unlike Mu Changtian and Mu Jingwu, Li Feng and the others had witnessed Lu Chen conjure weapons out of thin air, so they were not overly surprised by the sudden appearance of the howitzers in the cave.

However, Li Feng and the others were still incredibly excited. They found that the design of the howitzer closely resembled the mysterious weapon previously in Lu Chen’s hands, only much larger.

In the eyes of Li Feng and his companions, the howitzer in the cave was simply a larger version of Lu Chen’s Barrett. If the mysterious weapon in Lu Chen’s hands could kill a Master Level expert, then wouldn’t this weapon be capable of killing even a Grandmaster?

Mu Changtian was now scrutinizing the howitzer carefully before asking, “Prince, what is this?”

Lu Chen replied indifferently, “Howitzers. Have the soldiers pull them out, and I’ll show you the power of this weapon.”

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, everyone was momentarily taken aback, but very quickly several soldiers gathered around and began moving the howitzers outside.

Although they didn’t know what kind of weapon this was, they could tell from its weight and the metallic materials used that this weapon was definitely extraordinary.

Mu Changtian and the others didn’t dwell on how the weapon appeared in the cave, they just wanted to know the extent of its power.

If they weren’t mistaken, Lu Chen had specifically recruited ten thousand soldiers to form an artillery camp to wield this mysterious weapon.

With the soldiers’ effort, the howitzer was quickly wheeled out, and upon seeing the mysterious weapon before them, they all began discussing amongst themselves.

“What is this?”

“Could it be some kind of siege weapon?”

“It has wheels, could it be a siege vehicle?”

“Why did the Prince have them bring a siege vehicle here?”

“I don’t think it’s a siege vehicle, look, it seems to be made entirely of metal, it would be too heavy if it were a siege vehicle.”

Lu Chen ignored the soldiers’ discussions and said to Mu Jingwu beside him, “Captain Mu, gather the new recruits immediately, I want to demonstrate to the soldiers how to use this weapon.”

“Yes, Prince!”

Mu Jingwu quickly summoned the ten thousand soldiers, and then they pushed the howitzer to an open area.

Once the howitzer was positioned, Lu Chen took out the instruction manual from the system space and adjusted the position of the howitzer according to the plain firing table.

Then he said to the people behind him, “Everyone, cover your ears!”

Hearing this, the soldiers did not hesitate and immediately covered their ears with their hands.

The next moment, an ear-splitting noise rang out, and the ground around them shook.

Even though they had all covered their ears, they could still hear the tremendous sound.

Following that, the shell fired by the howitzer exploded in the distant woods, instantly blasting a huge pit into the ground with dirt flying up several meters high, and some of the surrounding trees were directly shattered by the blast.

Witnessing this scene, Mu Changtian and the others were dumbstruck.

All faces were stunned; they had never seen such a terrifying weapon before.

Just the act of firing caused the earth to shake, and the projectile that was launched was capable of creating a crater of about five meters in the ground in an instant.

Had that projectile landed in their midst, it was uncertain how many of them would have perished.

Could this be the mysterious weapon that the Prince had spoken of, Mu Changtian and the others couldn’t help but wonder?

If they possessed such a weapon, or could produce more of this mysterious weapon, what was there to fear from the Barbarian Tribe?

Forget the Barbarian Tribe, even unifying the entire world wouldn’t pose a problem!

Mu Changtian and his son, Mu Jingwu, exchanged glances, both seeing the astonishment in each other’s eyes.

They had already surmised that perhaps the North Prince had intentionally come to North City to lie in wait, primarily to accumulate strength in preparation for the unification of the world.

Now that the North Prince had revealed such a fearsome weapon, it was almost certain their guess was correct. With such a weapon at their disposal, what fear was there of failing to unite the world?

What kind of city gates could withstand the assault from such a weapon?

No matter how strong the gates, they would likely be destroyed in a single strike, and even a Grandmaster Level warrior, if hit by the projectile that was just fired, could potentially be blasted into dozens of pieces.

So, this was the North Prince’s trump card!

At that moment, Lu Chen turned to look at the people behind him, whose faces were so shocked they were speechless.

“General Mu, what do you think of my mysterious weapon? Can it withstand the Barbarian Tribe’s three hundred thousand cavalry?”

Hearing this, Mu Changtian finally recovered from his shock and immediately replied, “Congratulations to the Prince on possessing such a Divine Artifact, the Prince’s unification of the world is within reach!”

This…

Lu Chen was taken aback; when had he ever declared his intent to unify the world?

At this time, Mu Changtian continued to inquire, “Prince, how many of these… siege vehicles do you have at your disposal?”

Mu Changtian did not know the name of this object and could only temporarily refer to it as a siege vehicle, after all, it did bear some resemblance to a siege vehicle, such as having wheels.

Lu Chen did not correct Mu Changtian’s term and responded, “1 have a hundred howitzers at my disposal, with around eight hundred projectiles.”

Lu Chen did not disclose the entire number of howitzers and projectiles he possessed. This battle against the Barbarian Tribe wouldn’t require so many projectiles, nor so many howitzers. A hundred would be more than enough for deployment.

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s reply, Mu Changtian said, “Your Highness, are the projectiles you mentioned the same as the one that was just fired?”

Lu Chen replied, “Yes, the howitzer in front of us is merely a launching device, the actual effective part is indeed the projectile we just fired.”

With that, Lu Chen crouched down, opened the wooden box storing the howitzer’s projectiles, and then took out one of the projectiles.

Witnessing the projectile in Lu Chen’s hand, everyone fell into deep thought.

It seemed that Great Sum did not have the technology to produce such projectiles.

Where had the North Prince obtained this terrifying weapon from?

At that moment, Mu Jingwu asked, “Prince, can we produce these projectiles?”

Lu Chen answered, “Not at the moment, but it won’t be long before we can manufacture similar weapons.”

Hearing this, everyone inside felt an immense excitement.. If they could mass-produce such terrifying weapons, who would be North City’s opponent in the future?
