Chapter 1014

Clearly, cultivators have even greater desires, and that is longevity.

People are all selfish, especially cultivators; they are even less likely to give up their cultivation career for the sake of mere "patriotism."

So there are rarely cultivators in the army; even if there are, they are engaged in civil affairs and logistics, and will not personally enter the fray.

And clearly, the dynasties and empires also understand this and will not force it.

According to the martial generals, fighting is the business of their martial generals and soldiers; cultivators should stay out of it.

Neither side has cultivators participating in the slaughter on the battlefield.

But now it is different; this rune cannon is equivalent to the divine abilities and techniques of cultivators.

"Sir, I wonder if this rune cannon can only be activated by cultivators?"

Wang Jian couldn't help but ask; this question is very important.

Because if it could only be activated by cultivators, then the effect of this rune cannon would be greatly discounted.

After all, Wang Jian also knew that cultivators activating rune cannons to kill and injure the rebel army, although not directly casting divine abilities and techniques themselves, the power of this rune cannon is ultimately theirs.

So when the time comes, a portion of the killing calamity will inevitably be counted on their heads.

Perhaps it cannot compare to them personally entering the fray and casting divine abilities, but it will certainly have a certain impact on their future cultivation, and it is very likely that when facing the Earth Immortal thunder calamity, the power of the thunder calamity will be much greater.

Just this impact alone would make many cultivators stop.

"General Wang Jian, rest assured; the energy core in this rune cannon can replace the magic power of cultivators with the True Gang Primordial Power in martial arts."

The energy cultivated by martial arts is actually a type of energy, and it is also a type of magic power; they are all refining the Qi of heaven and earth, only cultivators absorb the clear and spiritual Qi, while martial arts can absorb any energy.

In this point, it seems that martial arts are more outstanding.

But precisely because of this point, martial arts practitioners have a greater possibility of going into demonic deviation; after all, those turbid and evil Qi of the earth can affect the mind, and over time, the mind becomes unstable, coupled with the influence of external demons, there is a great possibility of going into demonic deviation and exploding to death.

Because the energy absorbed is chaotic, if it cannot be completely absorbed and accommodated, it will lead to indigestion.

Many martial arts practitioners covet speed in cultivation and often want to take shortcuts, so the final consequence can be imagined.

While cultivators are different; the clear and spiritual Qi is very gentle and can nourish the mind and nourish the Primordial Spirit and physical body, with no danger.

Coupled with the fact that martial arts are explosive, they often damage the physical body, leading to the loss of lifespan, far inferior to the longevity of the immortal path.

Therefore, martial arts are ultimately a minor Dao; compared to the Great Dao of the immortal path, naturally, more people will choose the immortal path.

However, martial arts have True Gang Primordial Power, which naturally can also excite the energy source in the rune cannon and release "artillery fire."

"Haha! That's too good."

Wang Jian heard this and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

If this is the case, then for the Great Qin Empire's army, with this rune cannon, the strength of the army will be improved even more exaggeratedly.

The range of this rune cannon is far from being comparable to bows and arrows.

The range of a general archer army is at best two thousand meters; beyond this range, the lethality becomes much weaker.

Of course, there are divine archers in the army who can shoot more than ten miles without much effort, however, such people are, after all, a minority.

Wanting to let these people form a super-long-range divine archer legion is also impossible; after all, many divine archers are almost military officers in the army.

So the Great Qin Empire's archer corps is just a powerful crack legion and cannot be considered a legion of strategic significance.

Great Qin has strategic-level legions, such as a few special armies; the God of Slaughter Army of Wu'an Jun Bai Qi, although only one hundred thousand, coupled with Wu'an Jun Bai Qi, even if a Great Luo Golden Immortal fell into the military formation, they would have the danger of dying and disappearing.

There are also the Elite Soldiers of the Qin King, etc., and secondary ones such as the relatively famous Golden Fire Cavalry, which is the most powerful great army of the Meng clan.

The Meng clan, through more than ten generations of effort, trained such a top-tier cavalry for Great Qin, and it is also the most powerful legion deterring the north.

Compared to this, although Great Qin's crossbows and bows have always been very famous, they rely more on numbers.

Because of Great Qin's logistics, the power of the bows and arrows is strong.

But it is only strong, and it cannot reach strategic significance, unable to form a crushing form on the battlefield.

The newly built powerful bows have a chance to become a strategic force, but Wang Jian is clear that this also requires a period of time, a very long period of time.

First of all, building millions of powerful bows takes time; after all, the body of a powerful bow is easy, but the runes carved inside require many cultivators.

The rune technique is new knowledge; Great Qin has enough cultivator master craftsmen, but they also need time to learn and polish before they can build new rune powerful bows.

Secondly, archers also need adaptation training to take shape.

And compared to this, Wang Jian and the others value this rune cannon even more; not to mention that every cannon can reach the divine power of the Soul Refining realm like the first one.

Even if it is one level weaker, once the number of cannons comes up, it will absolutely be a terrifying threat.

Think about it, ten thousand cannons erupting with divine power, comparable to ten thousand Golden Core spell-casting cultivators casting divine abilities and techniques at the battlefield—this power, I'm afraid just one strike could destroy a great army of one hundred thousand.

Such a weapon can absolutely form a strategic-level legion, and among many legions, it ranks among the top.

As a veteran general, Wang Jian clearly considered this at the first moment.

And once he can control or command such a great army, the future status of the Wang clan in the Empire will likely be one level higher.

Although the current Wang clan is not bad, and he also has the merit of destroying a state, but after all, it is not as good as in history.

Great Qin destroying the six states did not rely on him, Wang Jian, alone; in fact, if it weren't for many veteran generals in the army gradually hiding themselves, there would be no possibility of his rise.

In the Great Qin military, his Wang clan is still a junior.

It is even not as good as the Meng clan; after all, the foundation of the Meng clan is much more powerful than the Wang clan, and the generals of the Meng clan in these few generations are all quite capable.

His former superior, Meng Ao, was no less capable than him; now Meng Ao is still in the army and is also a General of the Left guarding one side, and the generations before Meng Ao, although their abilities were much weaker, were at least ranked among the military clans of the Great Qin Empire.

Coupled with Meng Ao's rise, he raised the Meng clan to a new level in one fell swoop, almost becoming one of the top military clans of Great Qin.

And since Meng Ao, the Meng clan has had elite talents emerging generation after generation.
