"Defense system activated."
"Lock-On complete."
A robotic male voice suddenly rang out in the courtyard. Everyone looked around in shock, but could not find the person who had spoken.
The ground in the courtyard suddenly moved. The camouflaged floorboards slid open, revealing large holes.
Click, click, click. The sound of metal clanking could be heard.
Five strange-looking weapons slowly rose from the holes and floated in front of everyone's eyes.
Without anyone controlling them, the thick, straight cannons spun on their own. Finally, all the cannons were pointed at Sun Sieha and the others.
The expressions of Sun Sieha and the others changed. They did not expect such terrifying firepower to be hidden here. The thick cannons were terrifying to look at. No one doubted the power of these cannons. Moreover, their creator was a top-notch weaponsmith. A weaponsmith who could use spotted blue fir to make a five-centimeter-thick Cloudstone target. One could only imagine how powerful the cannons he made were.
Everyone looked at each other. No one had expected this small courtyard to be filled with giant cannons that could only be seen in a fortress, and there were five of them.
This sudden turn of events scared everyone silly. The air in the courtyard seemed to have frozen. No one dared to move. What a joke. Any of the cannons here could blow them into pieces. Even a Level 8 shooter was nothing in the face of such a lethal weapon.
The courtyard was dead silent. The smile on Sun Sieha's face froze, and the fine beads of sweat on his forehead were clearly visible.
However, the calm young man did not seem to want to end the shock so quickly.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh. A series of noises startled Sun Sieha and the others again. They looked around, and their expressions changed again.
The surrounding walls suddenly became densely packed with small holes, each of which had a long, thin pipe sticking out. As a Level 8 shooter, how could Sun Sieha not know what these tubes were for? They were all gun barrels!
Being suddenly pointed at by hundreds of gun barrels, this kind of pressure could definitely drive a person crazy.
Under such firepower, not to mention a human, even a mosquito would be torn to pieces, let alone escape. There were no blind spots in the entire courtyard. Once the enemy opened fire, there was only one possibility for them, and that was to be shot full of holes before being blown to smithereens.
Ye Chong's defense system finally worked.
The short man beside Sun Sieha twitched as he glanced at Ye Chong.
Ye Chong said coldly, "You'd better not make any sudden movements." Everyone was silent, and the short man's eyes shrunk back.
Ye Chong was not overjoyed. He knew that even though he seemed to have gained the upper hand, the situation was not entirely in his favor.
A Level 8 shooter was never a pushover. A Level 8 shooter's last attack was more than enough to take his own life.
However, the feeling of standing on the same level was actually quite good. Ye Chong had considered activating the defense system when he was fighting against the Level 6 shooters, but they were all standing on the walls. Ye Chong thought about it and gave up on the idea.
Ye Chong sat on the ground without a care for his image. He had used up too much energy and was injured. He needed to rest. He believed that Sun Sieha was a smart man, and would not do anything irrational now.
Sun Sieha understood the situation, and quickly composed himself. He sat down facing Ye Chong and said casually, "You're an unexpected person, sir. Even I can't help but admire you for that. I think we can start a fair trade now. " Sun Sieha was implying that they were now on equal footing, and that Ye Chong was the only one who had the right to talk to him.
"You're from the Royal Family?" Ye Chong looked up suddenly and asked Sun Sieha.
"That's right." Even now, Sun Sieha was still proud of himself. He looked at Ye Chong and said, "Are you interested in the Sieha Tribe, sir?"
"Other than you, how many other countries are there?" Ye Chong asked in return.
Ye Chong's question surprised Sun Sieha. He did not expect Ye Chong to have the leisure to ask such irrelevant questions at a time like this. However, this was exactly what he wanted. The man before him was like a bottomless pool of water, always doing things beyond one's expectations. Sun Sieha had already decided that Ye Chong was his opponent. Only by interacting with him would he be able to figure out his opponent's weaknesses.
"Yes, there are two other large countries. Other than our Sieha Family's Eastern Cloud, the other two are Western Frost and Northern Lands. As for the smaller countries, there are more, about a dozen of them," Sun Sieha explained briefly.
This was the first time Ye Chong had a general understanding of the world around him.
Ye Chong looked straight at Sun Sieha and asked, "How powerful are you in the Royal Family?"
Sun Sieha was surprised, then overjoyed. "Don't worry about that. I'm the only Prince, and the only heir to the throne." Ye Chong's question made him excited.
Ye Chong had a rough idea of what was going on. The power behind Sun Sieha was undoubtedly huge. He was alone here. If he fought them head-on, the consequences would be dire. Rather than that, he might as well work with them. He could also use their strength to complete his research. His research would require an astronomical amount of manpower and resources. If he relied on himself, it would take years to complete his research. That was why Ye Chong came up with the idea.
Now was the best time to negotiate, because he had enough leverage to be on equal footing with the other party.
"I'm not interested in your proposal." Ye Chong's words made Sun Sieha's expression darken.
Ye Chong ignored him and continued slowly, "However, I think we can work together in another way."
Sun Sieha's expression changed from gloomy to bright, and he became a little interested. "Oh, I don't know what kind of partnership you are referring to …"
Ye Chong changed the topic. "That's not an urgent question. Let's see how powerful these cannons are."
Ye Chong had barely finished his sentence when one of the cannons began to turn. The barrel moved away from them and pointed towards the sky.
"Lock-On complete. Firing mode, covering fire," an electronic voice rang out in the courtyard. Sun Sieha thought to himself, "As expected, this guy has companions." However, he found Ye Chong's actions strange. Was he trying to threaten them? There was no need for that.
Everyone saw a sudden flash of light, and the cannons roared.
In an instant, countless photon bullets shot out from the cannons. The photon bullets glowed brightly the moment they left the cannons. All 49 of the cannons glowed brightly at the same time. For a moment, everyone could only see a vast expanse of white.
Everyone's faces were filled with fear.
It was terrifying!
While they could not see the firing process clearly, their parapsychic waves allowed them to understand the power of the cannons in detail. The explosive energy contained in each light bullet made every shooter on the scene shudder in fear. The cannons fired rapidly. The photon bullets from all 49 cannons could be described as a rain of light. The shooters were shocked. Such a fierce firepower was absolutely destructive.
Rumble!
The ground shook. Explosions came from afar. Everyone's heart skipped a beat. Their faces were drained of blood. While they had made bold assumptions about the cannons, the actual power of the cannons had blown them to smithereens.
Sun Sieha's eyes were filled with fanaticism as he stared at the array of cannons with a burning gaze.
"How powerful is it?" Ye Chong asked Sun Sieha calmly.
"It's too powerful! It's the God of War! "Sun Sieha muttered to himself. He was in a state of frenzy.
"I can sell them to you," Ye Chong said calmly. His words were as loud as the photon bullets fired from the cannons.
Sun Sieha was taken aback, then overjoyed. He said decisively, "Alright! I'll take them all! Name your price! " Although he couldn't use this cannon array, it was a true weapon of war. As a prince, he naturally understood its value.
Ye Chong shook his head. "I have other conditions."
"Speak." Sun Sieha regained some of his composure.
Ye Chong said, "Every month, I'll sell you two of these cannons. You'll have to pay 20 million ao for each. All our future deals will be done through trade. "
"No problem," Sun Sieha agreed without hesitation.
"Also, I'll need a Level 8 shooter to protect me. He'll answer only to me. You'll pick the person, I'll pick. I have the right to form my own personal guard, "Ye Chong said.
"No problem," Sun Sieha added, "You can choose any Level 8 shooter I have under me. My personal guard can't be more than 5,000 people. However, you can only sell your weapons to me, not to anyone else. " For a talent like Ye Chong, Sun Sieha would have given him all his Level 8 shooters, let alone a single Level 8 shooter. A national treasure like Ye Chong was someone that every country would do their best to protect. In Sun Sieha's eyes, Ye Chong's value was rising rapidly, and his close combat skills were no longer important to him. He had plenty of men with outstanding combat skills.
"I agree. However, personal weapons are an exception. In addition, no one can restrict my actions. Nothing can interfere with my research, "Ye Chong said.
"No problem. You can live in the Royal Palace if you want. You can do whatever you want. No one will interfere with you. However, you must come back to the capital with me. " Sun Sieha knew very well that a talent like Ye Chong valued freedom far more than anything else, so he agreed very generously. However, everything was relative, especially freedom. A talented man like Ye Chong would benefit him greatly, but if he fell into the hands of other forces, the consequences would be dire.
"I agree." Ye Chong nodded. He was satisfied with the agreement. Once he solved a problem, no one could stop him from leaving.
"Today is a memorable day. I believe that our agreement will go down in history. "Sun Sieha was also very satisfied. He was very excited. To him, the conditions were meaningless. As long as Ye Chong stayed in the capital, he would not be able to escape from him.
Kristen was a little dazed. In the blink of an eye, the two of them who had been at each other's throats had suddenly become partners. Her teacher had also become the chief weaponsmith of the royal family.
I'm not dreaming, right? She did not expect Ye Chong, who usually kept a low profile, to be so experienced. He had been calm and at ease just now.
Ye Chong felt helpless. It was difficult to resolve the situation peacefully. This was the best solution he could think of. Ye Chong had been through all kinds of training, and he was beginning to grow.
The five cannon arrays were all sold to Sun Sieha. Ye Chong's pockets were filled to the brim. With 100 million ao, he did not have to worry about money for the time being.
Ye Chong chose Sha Ya as a Level 8 shooter. For self-protection, he was more used to relying on himself. He needed a Level 8 shooter for other reasons. Sha Ya was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. Ye Chong had known her before Sun Sieha did.
No matter where one was, a capable person would always be respected. From the respectful gazes of the people around him, it could be seen how much respect they had for this young weaponsmith. The ferocious might of the cannon formation had left an unerasable mark in their hearts.
To them, Ye Chong was a mysterious man. Despite his young age, he was unparalleled in weaponry. Not only that, but he was also not an outstanding warrior. His unbelievably tough body made him an extremely dangerous person. He had a companion who was hiding somewhere. Everyone could hear his stiff voice clearly. This only added to his mystery.
Kristen was now treated differently. As the only disciple of the great Master Ye Chong, her status had become much more respectable. She was proud of the 2 million ao she had spent to become Ye Chong's disciple. It was a good investment.
Sun Sieha received a letter from a Level 7 shooter. He was flying a fighter jet from the capital to deliver the letter to Sun Sieha.
Sun Sieha's expression changed when he opened the letter.
"Return to the capital, immediately." Sun Sieha's order was simple and direct.
Ye Chong did not need to pack. He stored the defense system photon processor in his room into Celest's ring. Before he could build a photon processor himself, every photon processor was precious.
Ye Chong and Sha Ya boarded a fighter jet together. The group flew towards the capital.
The fighter jets were all of high quality. They could fly very fast. The pilots were all at least Level 7 shooters, and they were the messenger.
By nightfall, they had arrived at the capital city. The darkness of the night was like a giant beast that swallowed up the capital.
This was the capital of Eastern Cloud, Su City. This city had a history of more than 3,000 years. For almost 2,000 years, it had been the capital of the country's rulers. It was also the largest and most prosperous city in Eastern Cloud.
A number of aircrafts were flying around in the sky, making the night sky look unusually mottled.
When they heard that Sun Sieha was returning to the capital, they met the guards who had come to greet him. Sun Sieha was highly respected among the soldiers. He was not only the strongest prince in the history of the Sieha Royal Family, but also a brave warrior. He was well-liked by the soldiers. Because of his outstanding strength, he had traveled a lot since he was young, and paid close attention to the lives of the commoners.
Sun Sieha's butler, Ba Luomeng, was among the group.
"This is my esteemed guest. Follow him around for the next few days. Treat him well and don't neglect him," Sun Sieha instructed his steward, Baromon.
Ba Luomeng bowed. "Yes sir!"
"This is my butler, Ba Luomeng. I have urgent matters to attend to these few days. If you have any requests, just let him know," Sun Sieha said to Ye Chong, and hurried towards the Royal Palace.
What Sun Sieha was going to do was not of Ye Chong's concern. In fact, he wished that Sun Sieha would be busy, so busy that he would forget about Ye Chong. However, he knew that this was unrealistic.
"Respected sir, it's getting late. Would you like to have a meal first, or rest? Or take a bath? If you have any requests, just let me know, and I will serve you wholeheartedly. If it's beyond my capabilities, I will convey your request to Her Highness, "Ba Luomeng asked carefully. He was 50 years old this year, with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. He was a little chubby. He had entered the Sieha Family when he was in his teens, and had served the Sieha Family for more than 40 years. From Her Highness's tone, he could tell that this guest before him was an important person.
This guest was very young, and there was a pretty lady beside him who liked to look around. "Could he be a prince of some country?"
Ba Luomeng wondered to himself. However, he was not stupid enough to ask questions he did not want to know. It was enough to serve the royal family and abide by their duties. He had seen many people disappear because of curiosity. After so many years, one of the main reasons why he was able to gain Her Highness' trust was that he never knew what he shouldn't know.
