People were panicking. No one had ever encountered such a situation. Being suddenly taken out of the port by soldiers with live ammunition would scare everyone. Some ship owners and businessmen were even more worried, because they still had ships and goods.
But it didn't take long for people to calm down again, and the soldiers were very kind, telling them not to worry, there would be no danger, and the ships and cargo would not be damaged.
Knowing that there was no danger, some people became bolder again and curiously asked what happened. However, this time the soldiers stopped talking and became serious, scaring those who were curious enough to shut up.
They were all taken to a place far away from the main roads of the light rail. In fact, not only the harbor, but also the residents of Minggang City were notified not to go near the main roads, and the shops were closed.
After the martial law was over and everyone had been cleared away, horse-drawn carriages covered with black cloth appeared one after another and entered the port along the light rail. At the same time, the Star also came from the outer sea and slowly approached.
On a dedicated berth.
"Boy! Do you need to be so careful? We are going to fight in the ocean this time. Even if we are seen, who can spread the news!" After getting off the carriage, the old man didn't stop talking, as if he was talking nonsense.
Chattering.
He never believed that rockets could be more powerful than super bombs, especially after seeing the size of rockets, he didn't believe it even more.
Jiang Xingchen did not answer and boarded the Xingchen directly. The current Xingchen has undergone major changes from before, mainly in its weapons. Except for the main gun on the bow, all the other cannons have been removed.
Instead, there was something that the old man had never seen before. It was composed of steel cylinders, five in each row, and a total of three rows were connected together to form a rectangle.
"What is this?" The old man walked around the thing a few times and asked Jiang Xingchen in confusion.
"This is the rocket launcher!" Jiang Xingchen explained with a smile, and then waved to the bottom of the boat.
The soldier who was parked below reached out and took off the black cloth covering his face, revealing white rockets, each nearly six meters high.
Then Crab ran over with Wind Control Wolf. Ordinary soldiers couldn't move these big guys weighing three tons.
After struggling all morning, the rockets were loaded, and the Star slowly left the port. The martial law in Minggang City was also lifted. The returning sailors and workers talked about it and speculated on what happened.
Some said that important people were coming and wanted to ensure their safety. Others said that there was very important cargo, and some guessed that it was transporting new weapons.
The incident happened suddenly and passed quickly. After all, it did not have much impact on people. After a day or two, the topic faded away.
Of course, there are some people with ulterior motives lurking here to report this situation back to the various forces. However, they did not even see the carriage covered with black cloth, and the people of the major forces had no way of guessing.
Regardless of the reactions of all parties, in two days, the Star has traveled thousands of kilometers north along the coastline.
It is already winter. The weather is getting colder as we go north, and there are fewer and fewer ships sailing on the sea. Gradually, some ice floes appear on the sea. Jiang Xingchen finally gave the order not to go any further.
"Boy, I really don't understand! It's just a test launch of a new weapon. Is there any need to travel so far?" the old man shouted dissatisfied.
"Be careful with the Wannian Ship, it is our secret weapon, of course we have to be careful! Only in this way can we have the effect of surprising the enemy in the future!" Jiang Xingchen said.
"But we have to cross the ocean to another continent! It would be strange if they knew about it!" the old man muttered in a clichéd way.
Jiang Xingchen shook his head and said, "How do you know that the other party has no one here?"
The old man glanced at Jiang Xingchen and said, "People from another mainland look different from ordinary people. How can they not be discovered around us?"
Jiang Xingchen said: "How come the people in silver robes have been hiding for thousands of years without being discovered? Their eyes are still different from ordinary people!"
The old man was speechless now. He didn't know what to say if he wanted to refute. After a long time, he touched his chin and asked: "You mean, it's possible for them to instigate ordinary people?"
Jiang Xingchen looked into the distance and murmured: "That's why I sent thousands of people to search for news all over the mainland. The same goes for Aura, buying some ordinary people to collect news for them. It's not impossible that the mainland has been too quiet these years.
There’s not even a little friction, it’s just a bit weird!”
The old man nodded and said: "That's true! If I had known that Pinky and I had sneaked into another continent quietly and bribed some people to do things for us!"
"You still have time to eat, drink and have fun!" Jiang Xingchen laughed.
The old man was not happy when he heard this, and shouted loudly: "You little bastard, what the hell do you mean! I didn't do what you said. I went to the deep ocean several times to explore the news. Do you still have a conscience when you sleep in the open air?
"
Jiang Xingchen laughed, then changed his topic and pointed into the distance: "Twenty miles ahead is land. This area is almost all rocky mountains. They should all be covered with ice and snow at this time!"
"Ah?" The old man was stunned by Jiang Xingchen's turn. Then he heard Jiang Xingchen shouting: "Prepare for test firing, adjust the angle of the rocket launcher!"
Following his order, the soldiers on the ship responded in unison and quickly moved. The four rocket launchers on the bow of the ship quickly rotated, aimed at the shore, and slowly moved upward at an increasingly wider angle.
Tang Chuxue and Xian Ning both walked out and stood beside Jiang Xingchen. The old man didn't care about anything anymore and quickly took out his telescope, preparing to watch the power of the explosion.
"Launch!" Wang Heng, who was in charge of the command, shouted, and everyone's attention was attracted.
"Hugh~" A sharp and piercing voice suddenly sounded, and the rocket launcher sprayed out thick tongues of flames backwards. Then the rockets flew out with a long tail of flames, and the bow of the ship was enveloped in thick white smoke.
"Holy shit!" The old man couldn't help but swear. Even Tang Chuxue looked surprised. The scene of sixty rockets being fired was really spectacular.
Then everyone put their telescopes on their eyes and followed the fire from the rockets. About seven or eight seconds later, sixty rockets landed on a hillside.
The violent explosion soon came back, and countless rocks, trees and snow were thrown into the air, forming a huge mushroom cloud. The old man watched as the impact air waves formed by stone dust spread outward, covering large areas of the mountain slopes.
Covered, the violent shock wave destroyed everything in its path.
There was silence on board the Star, which was shaken by the power of sixty rockets. After a long time, the old man finally swallowed a mouthful of saliva. (To be continued.)
