Chapter 1462: Made by Humans

After the group from the Wulengge Tribe finished resting, they didn't care about the time and headed straight toward the direction of those buildings. Because Bosa was not there, all pre-battle rituals were omitted. For the sake of troop morale, there might have been a slight impact, but facing the heaven-defying wealth ahead, that slight impact could be ignored.

Coupled with overconfidence, hiding themselves was not even a consideration. There was no way to conceal themselves on these grasslands, and with so many of them, they were far too conspicuous.

At the same time, the Western Development Group also sounded the alarm. Having already prepared themselves mentally, the group immediately began to take action, with those needing to put on armor doing so, and those needing to pull the cattle doing so.

Hun and the others also went to the Jianting immediately to see the specific situation, but the extremely large number of enemies still put great pressure on them.

"Regimental Commander Hun, you say that now that Bosa is dead and they don't have any sacrificial rituals, they will be afraid of the bombs, right?"

Hun could not be entirely certain: "It is daytime now, and things can be seen clearly. As long as the damage is manifested, they will certainly be afraid. Their hearts are not made of stone; even the Soldiers of Huaxia would be afraid, so how could they not be?"

"Alright then, let's start according to the previous plan, and wait for them to reach the attack range."

Everyone in the Western Development Group had already assembled, and even the children were prepared, though they were of little use; still, this was a good opportunity to exercise their courage.

The only ones who did not come were the herdsmen guarding those savages. The sheep pen could not completely lock these savages up, so someone had to guard them. If these savages heard the commotion and became restless, it would be fine if they just ran away, but it would be troublesome if they came to cause trouble from behind. Therefore, leaving a team to guard them was very necessary.

The women's method of attack was throwing spears, throwing from a high position to a low one; the distance was far and the power was great. The women of this era certainly could not be viewed like those of later generations; one by one, they were all very robust and had enough strength.

Because the Western Development Group did not have as many iron weapons as Huaxia, they were naturally very well-prepared with spears. In their daily training, there was a spear-throwing item, and with the addition of the Spear Thrower, the distance was even greater and the power even stronger.

The Wulengge Tribe walked over slowly; they were not in a hurry at all and were still shouting some words that could not be understood. They just wanted Huaxia to discover them now, and it would be best if they could scare Huaxia away.

However, the Wulengge Tribe could only see a row of people, not many in number, which was a bit different from the "all-out" force they had imagined. Could it be that there were only this many people here?

On the road, one could occasionally see some sheep dung pellets and already-dried cow dung, which was enough to prove that there must be livestock here. Their operation this time would certainly not be a loss.

Little did they know that Huaxia's Strong Crossbow, carrying an Explosive Pack, had already aimed at them. They only waited for the distance to be closer, and through the Telescope, they had already locked onto the person who looked most like the Leader. This first shot would definitely have to be fed to him; once he died, the Wulengge Tribe would be a group of insects without a head, making them easier to fight.

"Regimental Commander, the distance is now sufficient." The Soldier responsible for aiming, after calculating the distance with his fingers, sent the information to Hun.

The supreme commander here should be Ce. Both of them were Regimental Commanders, but this was Ce's territory, so Ce was half a rank higher than Hun. Hun looked at Ce, letting Ce give the order.

Ce was commanding a battle for the first time and was still a bit nervous. He kept looking through the Telescope and then confirmed again: "The distance is so far, can it really hit?"

"Rest assured, Regimental Commander Ce. We have all passed the training and assessment for the Strong Crossbow. I have already confirmed the distance; there will absolutely be no problem."

Ce's hand trembled slightly: "Alright then, start firing, attack!"

Although they could only reach the distance of the Strong Crossbow now, they could strike from a distance, so they would strike first. Then they would use bows and crossbows and spears; close combat was the final choice. Once a contact battle started, casualties would be unavoidable. They did not want any casualties here, so there was no need to pursue a greater degree of killing. They were fighting a defensive war now, not a war of annihilation; defense was the main purpose. It would be better if they could drive them back directly, and wait for reinforcements from Huaxia City to arrive before chasing them to counterattack.

With a hammer blow to the Banjiji of the Strong Crossbow, the long spear carrying the Explosive Pack flew out. The powerful impact even caused the Soldier in charge of the direction to slip; he hadn't touched a Strong Crossbow for too long and was a bit unfamiliar with its power.

They had passed the assessment before, but after all, they were not specialized Crossbowmen, so their technique was naturally not that good. Letting them learn was only so that if a Crossbowman died, they could immediately fill in; it was not required that their technique be very good, as those with good technique were already Crossbowmen.

So, naturally, this shot was a bit off, missing the targeted Leader by quite a distance, but fortunately, it landed in the middle of the enemy circle.

The Fuse was long, and they didn't know the timing, so they couldn't make the Bomb explode in the air to cause the greatest destruction; instead, it hadn't exploded after landing.

But after such a thing suddenly fell from the sky, they were first startled and dodged away, then discovered it was smoking. Everyone wanted to crowd around to look, and at that very moment, the Bomb exploded. Countless fragments flew out, along with a shockwave, instantly blasting a pit in the grass. Within a radius of several meters, there was not a single savage left standing.

The loud noise made everyone feel afraid, and they scattered away. They didn't know what had happened and hurriedly looked up. There were many clouds, but not one looked like it would strike down thunder.

The Tribal Chief suddenly remembered that they had heard many strange noises at that time, just like thunder. Bosa had even mentioned it when he returned, but everyone didn't take it to heart.

After the Tribal Chief made the connection, he became instantly alert: "Everyone, watch the sky. If this kind of thing flies down, dodge away. This must be something those savages made. Be careful!"

"Tribal Chief, isn't this Heavenly Thunder?"

The Tribal Chief was not polite at all: "Are you blind? You can't see such a long stick? A stick flying over from them, how could it be Heavenly Thunder? It must be some kind of sorcery of theirs. Don't be afraid, just be careful. As long as you see it, dodge it."

With a few words, the Tribal Chief dispelled everyone's fear. Mainly, this stick was too conspicuous in the daytime, and it exploded after landing. Although they didn't know what it was, at least it wouldn't make people think in directions that couldn't be understood, like Heavenly Thunder or Heavenly Gods. As long as it was something made by humans, there was no need to be afraid.
