Chapter 302 You made me sit here?
Zhong Ming stood in a horse stance and said helplessly, "The drinks I'm offering you are free."
The female cultivator in his arms woke up on the spot.
"A miracle worker indeed, Dr. Cuihong." The group shoved and pushed Zhong Ming forward.
Looking ahead, the enormous cannon actually... flew up.
Zhong Ming saw a large transport ship, even larger than the one he had been on before, with a huge flag bearing the character "苍" (cang) hanging on it.
"Oh dear, it's the Canglang Army. Those bastards love to run around aimlessly. They want the observers to keep an eye on them, and those fragile and reckless guys just want to charge into the enemy's ranks."
The captain scoffed, but his soldiers ruthlessly exposed his lie.
"You talk as if you can command. Hey, newbie, you don't know, do you? Working with the Canglang Army is the easiest, because they outnumber us and the enemy can't even get close enough to ambush us."
The words brushed past Zhong Ming's ears, but he paid no attention to them; all his attention was focused on the suspended cannon in front of him.
How did this huge transport ship manage to lift such a massive cannon?
And it looks like it's effortless at all.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that many talismans were affixed to it, likely similar to the travel talisman, used to lighten it.
Seeing Zhong Ming staring intently, the captain reminded him, "Stop looking, let's go up. Can it fly?"
"meeting."
After they finished speaking, everyone summoned their flying artifacts and flew upwards. Zhong Ming finally understood why one had to be in the late stage of Qi Refining to join the guard team.
Without reaching the late stage of Qi Refining, one's spiritual power simply cannot support flying such a distance.
He flew behind Liu Sandao, preparing to land on the cannon platform. The cannon was now assembled, covered with sophisticated mechanical equipment, and looked extremely expensive.
But the others continued flying upwards without looking back.
'Could it be that we're on a boat?' Zhong Ming wondered, and was about to continue ascending when suddenly everyone stopped, hovering in place, and then...
One by one, they flew into the cannon barrel.
"What are you standing there for? New guy, come in here."
Zhong Ming had no idea that they were actually sitting inside the cannon barrel "enjoying" the entire flight.
The shield guards standing at the muzzle are responsible for acting as "plugs".
Zhong Ming spotted Yue Kaishan among the countless tall and strong men at a glance, and happily waved and flew towards him.
"Brother Cuihong, you're still alive!"
Yue Kaishan was incredibly excited to see Zhong Ming, but his captain grumbled, "Come in quickly, we'll have plenty of time to talk on the way."
As soon as Zhong Ming stepped into the dark cannon barrel, the senior members of the Shield Guard immediately raised their large shields. Their spiritual energy surged and formed a formation, with the spiritual energy between the shields flowing freely and instantly blocking the entire cannon muzzle.
"set off!"
After a sudden, earth-shaking tremor, the familiar, powerful acceleration made it difficult for him to breathe.
Well, this is much faster than his "unforgettable" experiences as a sailor.
Once the speed stabilized, Zhong Ming discovered that not all the teams could fit inside the cannon barrel, and of course, there wasn't enough space.
"Hey, where's Xuanjing? Where's Chitong? Where's Chen Dahai?"
"They're sitting in their seats inside the cannon base below." Yue Kaishan was a newcomer; all he needed to do was use his "strong body" to hold up the muzzle, preventing any unsteady guys from sliding from the breech to the muzzle and crashing into the seniors.
"Huh? Then why are we sitting inside the cannon barrel?"
At this moment, Liu Sandao climbed up from behind, his withered body emerging from the dark "steel cave," which was quite frightening.
"What are we anyway? Just a rough, uncultured guy. We're lucky to even have a place to sit." Liu Sandao sat on the ground, his eyes darting around, his attention focused on what was behind him. He didn't want those bastards to rush up and snatch Master Cuihong's wine.
Yue Kaishan was still very excited. "Hey, right, Brother Cuihong, aren't you supposed to be in the maintenance department? They're sitting down there like royalty. Did you miss me? I heard you and Xuanjing Dahai beat someone up pretty badly and then got taken away. I was wondering if you were locked up in a dark room."
Suddenly, a rough voice came from ahead, "Is this the reason for committing the crime!"
Yue Kaishan scratched his head and replied sheepishly, "Hehe, Captain, I was thinking of going to the solitary confinement room to see if my brother is there."
"You little brat, I'll deal with you after this is all over."
For some reason, Zhong Ming felt a surge of emotion. He grasped Yue Kaishan's hand and said, "How could that be? A big shot took a liking to my combat prowess and asked if I wanted to become his personal guard."
"Wow, this is great news! I knew it, my brother would definitely succeed."
At this moment, Zhong Ming noticed that Yue Kaishan's robotic arm had been completely repaired.
Congratulations, your hand is all healed?
"Ah, well... I slightly... received an advance on my salary from the Shield Guard's clerk." He said somewhat embarrassedly.
The Shield Guard is the most expensive military unit in the entire dynasty, with exceptionally high salaries. Once they choose this path, they no longer live for themselves, but completely entrust their lives to their comrades and the shields in their hands.
Defense is always more expensive than offense.
"I see. Then we need to accumulate more military merits in this battle. We still owe Matt a favor."
Yue Kaishan raised his steel arm, clenched it tightly, and said, "Once I reach the Foundation Establishment stage, I will no longer practice fist techniques. I can only nurture the Great Shield and cultivate my physical body. So while I can still throw punches, I want to have a good, satisfying fight."
"That's true, but Old Ma is really carefree. Isn't he afraid we'll just run away without repaying the favor?"
“He knows I can’t.”
As the group chatted, the bumpy journey caused some complaints to spread.
“Sigh, this matter wasn’t urgent enough, otherwise we could have activated the super-large teleportation array and teleported directly to the east.” Liu Sandao sighed, but his thin face was full of pride. “You’re new here, you’ve never seen what a super-large teleportation array looks like when it’s activated. That pillar of light is simply a pillar supporting the sky, its light can be seen from thousands of miles away.”
"It's fortunate that it wasn't, otherwise we might have been surrounded as soon as we landed," a soldier from the Shield Guard Battalion interjected. The scar on his face was from the last great teleportation battle, when the artillery battalion was deployed into the enemy's encirclement and withstood the overwhelming onslaught, blasting away an enemy command post a hundred miles away with a single shot.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable.
As for why the cannon wasn't disassembled and put in a storage bag for transport... well, that can only be explained by the fact that the storage bag that could hold the cannon barrel was many times more expensive than the cannon itself.
.....
Time passed slowly. According to the veteran of the Shield Guard Battalion standing at the front, many large battalions were mobilized this time. On one side was a large ship of the Golden Wolf Army carrying the 135th Battalion, and on the other side was a large ship of the Azure Wolf Army.
Why the Canglang Army? Besides their large numbers, it's also because the Canglang Army was formed in Pingzhou in the east.
After all, this time they are not going to Yushu City, but directly into Pingzhou to "suppress bandits", and may even have to come to the East China Sea to attack the Merfolk's main camp.
