Chapter 1092 Utter Silence
Chapter 1092 Utter Silence
Ouyang Yunyao smiled and translated William's nervous question to Chu Chenjing. Upon hearing this, Chu Chenjing's eyes suddenly sharpened, his eyebrows arched, and he said coldly, "I never lie."
Meanwhile, the blond Henry didn't dare to delay and quickly translated Chu Chenjing's words to General William and the others.
Upon hearing Henry's translation, William's pupils constricted sharply, and he glanced at Chu Chenjing with a look of surprise. Then he scanned the people beside Chu Chenjing, including Battalion Commander Lei and Chu Feng.
Finally, his gaze swept over a group of soldiers from the Western Chu Kingdom. He was a little puzzled, because he didn't see these Western Chu soldiers carrying any large weapons.
He took a deep breath, the surprise in his eyes gone, replaced by a smug look on his face.
He looked at Chu Chenjing with a provocative expression and said in a defiant tone, "Since that's the case, can you show us that powerful weapon you've been talking about now?"
Ouyang Yunyao glanced at the smug and arrogant William. Without even translating for Chu Chenjing first, she waved her slender hand and shouted in a clear voice, "Captain Xiao, bring over your weapons and let His Highness the Prince and General William see them!"
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Chu Chenjing and quickly relayed William's words to him.
When Chu Chenjing saw her call out Xiao Hu, he had already guessed what William meant. He looked at Ouyang Yunyao with doting eyes and nodded gently.
Before long, Xiao Hu and a soldier from the Divine Weapon Battalion, each carrying a small rocket launcher on their shoulders, steadily approached Chu Chenjing, Ouyang Yunyao, and Battalion Commander Lei, and stood tall.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Battalion Commander!" the two shouted in unison, their bodies suddenly standing at attention, raising their other hands in salute.
This scene left all the blond soldiers on the ship completely dumbfounded. They stared at each other, shaking their heads in bewilderment. None of them recognized what the two men were carrying on their shoulders.
People were whispering among themselves, "What's that big iron pipe they're carrying on their shoulders?"
"Yeah! Such a thin iron pipe, can it be considered a weapon? And it can shoot that far?"
"Hey, this thing dares to overestimate itself and compare to our artillery? And it even has the audacity to say it can shoot much farther, twice as far as ours?"
"Hahaha... I think it probably won't even reach half the range of our artillery!"
"Hahaha……"
"Hahaha……"
The soldiers chattered and laughed, completely disregarding the rocket launcher.
Xiao Hu and Chen Jun, who were carrying rocket launchers, couldn't understand their language. If they knew what they were saying, they would definitely laugh and say, "You'll be shocked in a moment."
Ouyang Yunyao listened to their discussion with a smile, thinking to herself, "You'll all be proven wrong soon enough."
General William's face was filled with contempt, a mocking smile playing on his lips. This thin iron tube dared to compare itself to his cannons? Utterly delusional, utterly laughable. He thought they had some powerful weapon.
Even Jolief and Brian exchanged a puzzled look, thinking to themselves: How could His Highness Prince Jing use such a trivial thing to fool them?
This would only make William more arrogant and conceited. But on second thought, this might be for the best; the people of Western Chu would no longer be able to control them.
While the blond-haired group was discussing amongst themselves, each with their own thoughts, Chu Chenjing raised his hand, waved it broadly, and spoke authoritatively: "Xiao Hu, Chen Jun, heed my command!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"Chen Jun, target buoy 400 meters ahead; Xiao Hu, target buoy 500 meters ahead!"
"Yes, sir!" the two replied in unison, raising their hands in a standard military salute. Then, carrying their rocket launchers, they strode to the ship's side, stood firmly, and prepared to fire.
Henry quickly translated Chu Chenjing's orders to all of them. All the blond men looked on incredulously as they walked to the ship's side.
At this moment, Battalion Commander Lei stood beside the two men and ordered, "Chen Jun, prepare to fire first, Xiao Hu, get ready."
"Yes, sir!" Chen Jun stood there, one hand firmly on the rocket launcher on his shoulder, the other gripping the firing pin. His eyes were slightly narrowed, his gaze locked on the buoy 400 meters ahead through the scope. His aura was calm and composed as he awaited the order.
The blond soldiers stared intently at the rocket launcher Chen Jun carried on his shoulder, their faces filled with disbelief. They simply couldn't believe that such a thin iron pipe, meant to be carried on the shoulder, could fire at a range of four hundred meters.
Even if it were lucky enough to hit that far, it probably wouldn't have much power. How much gunpowder could be packed into such a tube?
Little did they know, the rocket launchers on their shoulders were the latest lightweight rocket launchers of the 23rd century, retrieved from Ouyang Yunyao's spatial storage. Their power was immense, and they were easy to carry and operate, far surpassing the artillery they carried.
Battalion Commander Lei's eyes were sharp as an eagle's. He shouted a command: "Prepare—fire!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jun pulled the launch button. "Whoosh...!" A sharp sound of air being cut suddenly rang out, and the rocket shot out of the tube at high speed, flying directly towards the buoy four hundred meters away.
"Boom..." A deafening explosion resounded across the sea, flames shot into the sky, and the immense impact of the bomb sent up a column of seawater tens of meters high. The buoy marked "400 meters" had already been shattered into pieces by the explosion and disappeared without a trace.
Although only one rocket was fired, the deafening roar and earth-shattering power completely stunned everyone on board from the Kingdom of Lorian.
The once noisy deck fell into a deathly silence in an instant, with both large ships completely speechless.
General William and his lieutenant Andrew stared wide-eyed, their eyeballs almost bulging out. Their hearts pounded as if struck by a heavy hammer, and they couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
The two of them stared blankly at the towering column of seawater that crashed back down four hundred meters away, creating huge waves that rocked their large ship.
His mockery and smugness, along with his original disdain, were completely stunned by the powerful cannonball. It took him a long time to finally utter a single sentence, "This...this...".
Prince Jolif and Brian were also speechless, thinking to themselves, "The people of Western Chu are not to be underestimated."
Ouyang Yunyao and Chu Chenjing looked at the blond men and smiled at each other; they had achieved their goal.
