The cannon fire this time was deafening, loud enough for everyone to hear, even amidst the intense battle.
So anyone who could see the cannonball turned their gaze towards it.
Sound does not necessarily indicate power, but this time, it gave everyone a feeling—this thing is very powerful.
The 'Candy Siege Cannon' exploded right after its launch, the attack just now had exceeded the material's tolerance.
This huge siege cannon, through the efforts of many people from Ye Zhongming to Candy and Le Da Yuan, had been crafted, and after taking shape, unleashed all its power, finally fulfilling its mission at this moment.
The massive metal projectile whistled through the air, striking the West City Gate, which was protected by a transparent energy shield.
Many people were watching, waiting for the result they hoped for or feared.
With a loud bang, it sounded like two large pieces of metal colliding.
Many felt a sharp pain in their eardrums and instinctively covered their ears.
The entire West City, no, even the walls of the entire Holy City, shook slightly.
Defenders standing near the city gate even swayed unsteadily.
This situation coincided almost simultaneously with the screams from the wall.
These screams came from the Gene Warriors that had just exploded, shooting out objects from the black box.
Countless glimmering green Three-Leaf Throwing Darts were unleashed.
What was inside the box was actually a launching device. Once activated, it would fire thousands of these special, paper-thin darts from the machine.
They were launched like heavenly flowers scattering in the wind.
This device used magic crystal energy to maintain the power of the darts, combined with their green-grade classification, allowing these hidden weapons' attack power to be no less than a full-force strike from a six-star evolver.
This equipment was designed during the idle time of a researcher, initially just a practice project; its design concept was entirely focused on immense power. It indeed achieved that, but its drawbacks were equally apparent. For instance, its attack was completely of a covering nature, thus raising the question of who would activate it. Also, this equipment had high requirements; it needed a minimum of seventh-grade magic crystals, and the level of the hidden weapons had to correspond, otherwise, not only would they be damaged without firing, but even if successfully launched, they wouldn’t achieve the desired effect.
In simple terms, this was a weapon that did not differentiate between friends and foes.
The appearance of Gene Warriors somewhat solved this problem.
For this siege battle, the Gene Life Laboratory and the Magic Crystal Weapon Laboratory engaged in an unprecedented, all-around collaboration, creating this otherwise impractical weapon.
Fortunately, with Ye Zhongming as a top craftsman, these Three-Leaf Throwing Darts did not require overly complex attributes; they only needed to be sufficiently durable and sharp, which was a simple task for the King of Cloud Summit.
Dozens of Gene Warriors, dozens of these machines, activated under the command of the Gene Warrior leader, released over two hundred thousand hidden weapons.
The inventor gave this weapon a rather peculiar name: "Pear Blossom with Rain."
Perhaps he had read some martial arts novels during peacetime and knew of those famous concealed weapons.
Why did Guangyao feel stable when he saw only a few dozen Gene Warriors rush to the wall? It was precisely because of the characteristics of "Pear Blossom with Rain." Those Three-Leaf Throwing Darts were enough to turn the top of the city wall into hell.
Indeed, the Gene Warriors surged forward unevenly, with many areas overlapping. Due to the range, many places remained unaffected.
But that was enough; it was sufficient for over half of the West City Wall to be attacked. The fate of the evolvers was of little concern to Cloud Summit Villa; they were more concerned about how much of the city's defensive weapons had been damaged.
Don't think that the Three-Leaf Throwing Darts only harmed evolvers; those defensive devices without armor or defensive skills were even more vulnerable in front of them.
