C1030 Cannon Fire Crisis
Lee Hao's order had stirred up a storm of blood in Tiannan County once again. However, many cultivators were praising Lee Hao's action.
Eliminating the remaining survivors of Hidden Kill Alliance wouldn't cause any waves, even though they were scattered all over Tiannan County. There were still many cities hidden in Tiannan County, but there were two Soul Formation cultivators, Zhen Xing and Yang Yongyuan, who were leading the way. Apart from South Sky City, there was no other city that could stop them.
The rogue cultivators didn't pay too much attention to this matter. Their eyes were all focused on Lee Hao's strength.
One year ago, Lee Hao challenged the City Lord of Fallen Immortal City, Liu Wenyao. After killing Great Perfection of Nascent Infant with his Great Perfection of Golden Core cultivation base, shocking the entire Xianlin Mountain... No one had seen Lee Hao fight before, and no one knew the exact strength of Lee Hao.
One year wasn't a long time, and it was a very short period of time for cultivators.
However, in such a short period of time, Lee Hao's cultivation base had risen from the Great Perfection of Golden Core to the Early Soul Formation realm, and his combat strength had become even more terrifying. He was able to kill Soul Formation cultivators as easily as slaughtering dogs.
A rogue cultivator couldn't find any words to describe such an incredible battle record and heaven-defying strength. He could only remain silent.
This was even greater than the impact of Zhen Xing, Yang Yongyuan, and Yun Yang's Soul Formation.
No matter what, these three were veteran Cultivator of Great Perfection of Nascent Infant in Tian County. Their Soul Formation could barely be explained, but Lee Hao's... it was fine if they did not say it.
The impact of this incident was immeasurable. Many rogue cultivators rushed to the Fallen Immortal City like crazy just to join the Ever Triumphant Army. Even many small families in the Tiannan County could not sit still.
South-suppressing King was dead. They had no one to pledge their loyalty to. No one knew when the new duke would come. They did not know if the new duke would vent his anger on them or not. They were all worried. They couldn't sit still any longer, and started secretly sending the elite disciples of their families to Fallen Immortal City. They only wanted to find a way out for their family.
The army of six hundred thousand was five hundred thousand more than the last time. The requirements were much stricter. Not only did they have to be smart, but they also had to be good seedlings for cultivation. However, in less than half a year, all of them were here.
The cultivation of the cultivators in Tiannan County was poor, but it did not mean that their talent was worse than the cultivators in other counties. The main reason for this was that the resources were too little. If the resources could be compared to the other counties, they might not be weaker than the other counties.
This was also the reason why Lee Hao was able to recruit so many qualified cultivators in such a short period of time.
In fact, the ratio was still not high. One should know that the population of Tiannan County was tens of billions, and there were also billions of people in Xianlin Mountain. Out of so many candidates, six hundred thousand would be selected, and one out of a hundred thousand would be selected.
Of course, this time, Lee Hao didn't only choose male cultivators, there were also quite a number of female cultivators, roughly two hundred thousand.
As for cultivators, female cultivators weren't necessarily inferior to men. As long as their cultivation base was high enough, they could still beat men.
Of course, these female cultivators couldn't be taught to Zhen Xing, Yun Yang, and the others to lead the army. Lee Hao had given the female cultivators to him. Since he had nothing to do, he would let them have a taste of being generals. It was also considered a form of training.
This time, Fallen Immortal City was bustling with noise and excitement. Hundreds of thousands of cultivators were training. The momentum and the scene made the rogue cultivators in the past feel their blood boiling. Then, he said sourly, "It would be great if I could join the Ever Triumphant Army."
It was sad that they were still rogue cultivators at this time. It could only be said that they were not qualified enough to join the Ever Triumphant Army.
Those rogue cultivators who had yet to join the Ever Triumphant Army were unhappy, but Lee Hao was extremely happy in his heart. There was a total of seven hundred thousand soldiers. Adding the city defense army of each city branch, there were more than a million soldiers.
It was true that the cultivation base of these people was not high up until now. Most of them were at the Foundation Establishment stage. However, when they saw this black mass of people, they still had a heroic spirit.
Every man had the dream of leading an army on the battlefield. Lee Hao was no different. Now, it could be considered a dream.
When the army of one hundred thousand was in the Fallen Immortal City, there were two hundred new warships. Now, there were seven hundred thousand in the army, and the number of Lee Hao's warships had also increased explosively, reaching one thousand four hundred warships.
These were all new warships. The main cannon's power was the full force strike of a Great Perfection of Nascent Infant. With the combined attack of 1,400 Great Perfection of Nascent Infant warriors, who could resist it? Even the Divine Clone realm was hanging by a thread, and only the great cultivators who had transcended their tribulation who had ignored the attack from the new warship could resist it.
This was definitely not an alarmist. Apart from the main cannon, there were also several thousand ordinary cannons with power equivalent to the early Nascent Soul realm.
When new cultivators joined the army, Fallen Immortal City was really bustling with noise and excitement. The sound of cannons roaring outside the city could be heard. Not to mention other things, all of the mountains within the three thousand mile radius of Fallen Immortal City were razed to the ground, creating a three thousand mile wide plain.
Putting aside the cannon barrel consumption, Lee Hao could easily return to the furnace and reforge it. However, the consumption of cannonballs was really shocking, and the high-grade Spirit Stone was in urgent need.
It was said before that the cannonballs used by Lee Hao were refined from high-grade Spirit Stone, and through a special restriction technique, the spiritual energy within the Spirit Stone would go berserk, and then produce unparalleled destructive force.
There was no need to talk about the process. In short, the cannonballs could only be refined by Spirit Stone. The spiritual energy produced by the Spirit Vein or the Pure Spiritual Qi refined by Lee Hao could not refine the cannonballs required for the Spirit Stone Cannon.
This made Lee Hao suffer. How poor was Tiannan County! Although there were a few large mines in Xianlin Mountain, they only produced low grade Spirit Stone. There were only a small amount of high grade Spirit Stone.1
In the past, there were 200 warships that could still be barely used, but it suddenly increased by several times. The inventory of high grade Spirit Stone immediately became urgent.
This was really hard for Yun Yang, who was in charge of everything, to die. It was hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!
Yun Yang could only come to City Lord Mansion to meet Lee Hao and tell him about his difficulties. "City Lord, there are no strong enemies outside of Fallen Immortal City, and there are no threats. We don't need to continue practicing live bullets. Let them simulate it! Although it can't achieve the effect of live ammunition, it still has a certain effect."
How could Lee Hao not know what Yun Yang was talking about? It was just that things did not go according to plan. The biggest advantage of a live ammunition exercise was to let the cultivators get used to the sound of the cannon. Otherwise, when a fight broke out, they would tremble in fear when they heard the sound of the cannon. How could they fight?
Not to mention, sometimes the enemy's Spirit Stone Cannon will hit the warship and set off a monstrous wave of air. At that time, once they panic, they won't be able to shoot out a single cannon.
The warship was the key to winning, but the key was the person controlling the warship. Only when the person controlling the warship wasn't afraid of death could the person be brave enough to charge forward.
That's right, Lee Hao could heal the injuries on a cultivator's body, but this kind of matter was only spread within the Ever Triumphant Army, and it was strictly forbidden to spread it.
Currently, these new reserved warriors weren't able to enjoy such treatment. Only after they had experienced life and death situations would they know that the Ever Triumphant Army actually had such treatment.
Lee Hao thought for a moment and said, "Let's continue practicing with live bullets! I'll think of a way to get a high-grade Spirit Stone."
"Alright then! This subordinate will take his leave." Yun Yang had followed Lee Hao for a year. He knew Lee Hao's character, and he knew that things would never change once he decided on something.
Moreover, he didn't use the high-grade Spirit Stone from the Yun Family to practice. As long as Lee Hao was willing to take it, he didn't mind.
It was good enough for him to be a subordinate. As long as he could settle his own matters, it would be fine. The problem would be handed over to the leader, but who could the leader hand over the problem to?
Therefore, luck was not so easy to enjoy!
