Chapter 285 Great Xia Technology Shocks the Dwarves!

"Bahrain, thank you for your hard work."

King Muradin quickly rose from his throne, descended the steps, grabbed Bahrain's shoulder, shook him, and exclaimed excitedly:

"How is the journey? How many warriors have been lost?"

"Are those Great Xia people...reliable?"

"Did the transaction go smoothly?"

"Weapons! Weapons from the Great Xia Dynasty, did you bring them back?!"

A series of questions revealed the thoughts of all the dwarves, and they all focused their attention on Balin.

Bahrain replied respectfully:

"Your Majesty, we lost eighty-seven brothers on the round trip."

"The people of Great Xia are very strong, and also... very hospitable! The delegations of the Holy Humans, Elves, and Orcs are also there."

"The transaction went smoothly, as for the equipment..."

As Balin finished speaking, he glanced at the ten spatial rings on his hand.

"Bring half back."

"There are too many; they can't all fit in the rings. They'll have to be shipped in batches."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a thought crossed his mind.

"boom!"

A massive steel behemoth, eleven meters long and weighing fifty-five tons, crashed to the ground, shaking the entire council hall.

Thick cannon barrels, heavy armor, and tracks still covered in otherworldly mud.

A chilling, metallic aura swept over them, causing the dwarfs, who were generally only a little over a meter tall, to catch their breath.

"!!!"

"By the God of Craftsmen! What is this steel golem?!"

"Such an intense sense of oppression! Is it alive?"

All the elders, including the Dwarf King, took a step back in fright, staring at the main battle tank with horrified eyes.

Before they could recover, Bahrain had another idea.

Splash!

Rifles, heavy machine guns, rocket launchers...

All sorts of unheard-of modern weapons poured out of the spatial ring, quickly piling up into a small mountain in the center of the hall.

"This is an automatic rifle with an effective range of 800 meters. It can fire 600 rounds per minute and can penetrate..."

"This is a heavy machine gun..."

Before Bahrain could finish his introduction, an old dwarf with a white beard—Glen Stonefist—couldn't help but speak up.

He stepped forward, picked up an automatic rifle, weighed it in his hand, and his face was full of contempt.

"Hmph, just this piece of junk?"

"It's made of ordinary materials, has no runes inscribed on it, and doesn't even have a charging string. I really can't imagine how powerful it could be!"

"I'm afraid their arrows don't even travel as far as our dwarven archers'!"

Balin glanced at him, too lazy to argue.

"Elders, Your Majesty, words are inadequate."

"Please come with me, seeing is believing."

He led everyone out of the hall and into a spacious stone quarry in the inner city, which was used for testing weapons.

Bahrain first picked up his automatic rifle and fired a burst of bullets at the metal wall a hundred meters away.

Sparks flew everywhere, leaving only a shallow crater on the target.

Elder Glenn's grin widened, his eyes practically overflowing with mockery.

Bahrain remained expressionless, then set up a heavy machine gun and switched to regular ammunition belts.

"Da da da da da—!"

A torrent of raging flames and a storm of metal formed by large-caliber bullets instantly riddled the thick metal wall with holes!

Elder Glenn's contempt lessened somewhat, but he remained defiant.

"The power is decent, but if we equip our legendary ballista with the 'Explosion' and 'Acceleration' runes, its power will be no less than this!"

Bahrain remained silent.

He silently took out a new ammunition box and replaced it with one for the heavy machine gun.

The ammunition box was clearly marked with the Chinese characters "cubic nitrogen ammunition".

He pulled the trigger again.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

This time, it wasn't gunfire that rang out, but a series of explosions like the roar of heavy artillery!

Every bullet that hit the distant wall exploded into a blinding fireball!

The earth trembled violently, and the entire underground mountain city seemed to tremble under this terrifying power!

The sturdy metal wall was blasted open with a large hole the first shot hit!

Subsequent bullets blasted into the hard rocky ground, creating shocking craters!

Elder Glenn: "..."

His mouth was agape, his arrogance and disdain instantly frozen, leaving only blankness and disbelief, and he broke down on the spot.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The dwarf soldiers on the perimeter, thinking that the demons had invaded, grabbed their battle axes and shields and charged forward.

King Muradin the Dwarf snapped out of his daze, waved to his guards, and shouted for them to retreat.

Bahrain was very pleased with the expressions on these old guys' faces, which reminded him of himself when he first witnessed the power of the Great Xia's weapons.

He continued:

"Anything else!"

He took out a single-soldier rocket launcher and loaded it with a cubic nitrogen warhead.

"Whoosh—Boom!!!"

A fiery dragon roared out, and a small hill in the distance that was being used as a target was instantly leveled by half!

"By the god of craftsmen! This power rivals that of an enchanted siege crossbow, doesn't it?"

Ignoring their shock, Bahrain released the tank and climbed inside.

"boom!"

The engine started, emitting a beast-like roar.

Then, with a "click-clack" sound, the tracks turned and the turret turned.

"boom!!!"

The massive cannon barrel suddenly retracted, and the terrifying recoil shook the entire tank.

A cubic nitrogen high-explosive bomb pierced directly through the small rocky hill, and the explosive force caused the entire mountain to shatter!

Dust and gravel flew everywhere!

The little hill is gone!

The dwarves: "???"

Subsequently, Bahrain deployed a vehicle-mounted Land Shield 2000, climbed inside, and its six gun barrels began to rotate.

"Rat-a-tat ...

The Vulcan cannon, ten times more powerful than a heavy machine gun, roared as it tore through the air!

Within a second, a barrage of hundreds of cubic nitrogen shells ravaged the ground hundreds of meters ahead, leaving behind a deep, scorched expanse!

The experiment ended, and the room fell silent.

All the dwarves, including their king Muradin, seemed to have been petrified.

Staring blankly at the incredible sight before him, his mind went completely blank.

Elder Glenn's beard trembled like a leaf, his old face flushed with embarrassment, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Seeing this, Bahrain felt that it was enough and did not waste any more precious ammunition.

He climbed out of the chariot, smiling as he tossed out a royal flush:

"This is only part of the weaponry; there are still big guns like self-propelled mortars and box rocket launchers that haven't been used yet."

"They can launch terrifying things called thermobaric weapons and cluster munitions, with unimaginable power and coverage."

"The venue is too small; we can't operate freely."

Unable to fully utilize...

These words struck each dwarf like a hammer blow, leaving them utterly bewildered.

"Great! That's fantastic!!"

King Muradin, the dwarf, finally recovered from his extreme shock.

He was so excited that he trembled all over, and his eyes shone brightly.

The dwarves are master blacksmiths, capable of forging the finest weapons and armor on the continent of Terra.

It can attack from a distance, using bows and arrows, crossbows, and catapults.

These things were weak and powerless in the face of the endless demon army!

But these are the real war machines!

An elder said excitedly:

"With these weapons, the fighting strength of our dwarven army will at least increase several times!"

"No! It's dozens of times!"

"We must study them and imitate them!"

"If we could combine our rune technology with the advanced weaponry of the Great Xia Dynasty..."

"Then we will no longer have to cower in this mountain city. We... will surely recreate the glory of the dwarf race from hundreds of years ago!"
