Gus and Grey panicked the moment they heard that.
They had thought that they would be escorted to the south safely after they found the secret base of the Machine and Steam Cult in Qianyuan City.
Who would have thought that they were like clay bodhisattvas crossing a river, unable to even protect themselves!
Luo Xinglong kept a straight face, but there was not the slightest hint of panic on his face. Instead, as the situation became more and more serious, his eyes became more and more determined to the point of madness.
"In that case, there's nothing we can do."
He gritted his teeth and squeezed the words out of his mouth.
Then, he took a deep breath and raised his arms. "Today is the day of revolution. Believers of the True God, the arrival of the Holy Son and the Saintess is the clearest revelation from the True God. He wants us to pick up our weapons and fight our way out now. We will show the pitiful creatures who have been deceived by the false gods for thousands of years the power of the True God!"
"Today? Now? "
Many believers were somewhat surprised.
"That's right. Even the Holy Son and the Saintess have shown up. If not today, when are we going to wait?"
Some people were inexplicably excited.
"The Holy Son and the Saintess can fight against all the boxers in the Red Gold Town. Plus, there are so many of us. With so many crossbows and steam guns, it won't be difficult for us to wipe out Qianyuan City!"
Some people even looked at Gus and his sister expectantly, making them blush and feel as if ten thousand ants were crawling in their hearts.
Of course, there were a very small number of people who knew the inside story. Most of them were hardcore believers and core members of the Machinery and Steam Sect like Luo Xinglong. They knew that with the destruction of the underground printing house and the arrest of the printers, the situation was so urgent that they had no choice but to fire. If they did not fight to the death now, they would really end up on the chopping board.
"The Old God is dead, and the New God will rise. Today is the day of revolution!"
As the backbone, they took the lead and shouted with Luo Xinglong.
After shouting dozens of times, all the believers forgot their doubts and concerns. They were filled with the hope of victory and the courage to fight.
"Very good. Then we will act according to the plan!"
Luo Xinglong gave the order and looked at a bald man first. "Tai Long, you will lead the elite daredevil team to seize the granary in the south of the city. Remember, it doesn't matter if you can't take down the granary, but you must succeed in setting fire to the grain to attract the attention of the Fist God Palace.
"Yes, long live the True Gods!"
The bald giant named 'Tyrone' carried an intricately made kerosene pump and left with the order.
"Zhao Xin, go and contact all of our forces in the city. Tell them that the operation has been brought forward."
Luo Xinglong continued to speak to a young man who was slim and had surprisingly long legs. "Let them attack the targets as we agreed on earlier! “
Zhao Xin nodded and quickly left.
"Andre, before nightfall, you and your men must seize the dock and all the ships."
Luo Xinglong said, "Because a lot of machines are needed to operate a ship, many workshops by the river are also secretly using machines. With the help of the flow of the river, these people who make a living by relying on the water are most likely to stand on our side. They are also the most likely to be suppressed by the Fist God Palace. We have to organize and arm these people before the Fist God Palace. They will become the backbone to seize Qianyuan City."
The short man named 'Andre' was carrying two repeating crossbows on his back, another two repeating crossbows on his waist, and two repeating crossbows in his hands. Together with the quivers tied to his chest, back, and calves, he looked like a hedgehog that was full of arrows.
He rubbed his fists and could not wait any longer. He nodded and left.
"Wait."
Luo Xinglong looked at Gus and his sister. After hesitating for a moment, he stopped Andre and reminded him, "Remember, your mission here is extremely important. Even if you cannot seize the entire dock, you have to seize as many ships as possible and destroy the enemy's warships. You have to make sure that the water route is in our hands. Whether our people are retreating or the reinforcements of the steam army in the south are going north, they have to go through the water route!"
"Understood!"
The short man Andre grinned and swaggered away with the six repeating crossbows.
"The rest of you, we shoulder the most sacred and important mission!"
Luo Xinglong's face was abnormally red as he shouted desperately, "Let's carry the steam cannon that the True God has given us to the ground and escort it to the Fist God Palace step by step!
"Remember, no matter how high the price is and how many people are killed or wounded, we have to carry the steam cannon to the gate of the Fist God Palace.
"The lies of the false gods have fooled the world for more than ten thousand years. But as long as the steam cannon is fired and the Fist God Palace is blown into pieces, the lies will be exposed. All the residents of Qianyuan City will realize the greatness of the power of machines and steam. They will all stand on our side and submit to the True God!"
"Cannon! Cannon! "
"Steam cannon!"
The believers cheered excitedly again.
"A war is about to break out. Saints and saintesses, please stay by my side and witness the miracle of the True God with your own eyes!"
Luo Xinglong said, not allowing them to refuse.
Gus' lips moved, but he knew that the enemy was desperate and had to fight to the death. At this moment, in order to boost morale, anything could be done. The siblings could not reason with the crazy believers at all.
"No problem."
Grey, however, agreed readily. "Since you all regard us as the saints and saintesses of the God of Steam, we are naturally responsible for fighting side by side with you. However, the false gods have ruled this world for too long, and their power is deeply rooted. If, and I'm saying if, Qianyuan City falls into the darkness before dawn, and we are temporarily at a disadvantage in the battle, Uncle Luo, can you arrange a ship to help us break out of the siege and take us to the south, where we can find the main troops of the steam army and make a comeback?"
After a few days of thinking, Grey finally regained the elegance of the genius girl of the Red Gold Town and learned how to negotiate with Luo Xinglong.
Luo Xinglong's eyes suddenly glittered. Pondering for a moment, he nodded and agreed readily. "Of course. As long as the green hills are there, there will be firewood. The war between good and evil is destined to last for a long time. I will not let the saints and saintesses die for nothing."
"That's good."
Grey smiled and raised her arms like Luo Xinglong. She shouted, "The old gods are dead, and the new gods will rise. Today is the day to change the old gods!"
"Today is the day! Today is the day! Today is the day! "
The roar of the saintesses was like adding fuel to the fire. For a moment, the underground stronghold turned into an invisible volcano, from which destructive magma was about to erupt!
The Machinery Sect and the Steam Sect had made careful preparations for the uprising in Qianyuan City.
Although a large batch of steam weapons and elite soldiers had not arrived yet, continuous crossbows, steam guns, swords that could increase speed, and armor made by steam engines had been prepared.
There was also a large number of black cloths on which simple white gears were printed. The gears were surrounded by patterns of steam. When the black cloths were tied to the foreheads or arms, they looked rather intimidating and murderous at first glance.
