Chapter 1102: The Tribulation of Immortality

Fang Ning continued to look down, only to see a group of Taoist priests holding steel knives appear below, numbering about hundreds.

It's really a matter of putting down the dust and picking up the butcher's knife.

Fang Ning sighed and didn't interfere for the time being.

I saw that those steel sword Taoist priests were divided into several squads, cleaning up the bandits who were robbing in the Dao Palace one by one, or the chaotic people.

Similar to what they saw before, although they lost their mana, the powerful flesh that they had refined was still there, which was equivalent to the existence of their own steel armor.

Some bold rebels dared to pick up their sticks, knives and guns and fight with them, but in the case of not breaking the defense at all, they could only be cut down to the ground one by one.

There are two kinds of weapons that were strictly forbidden in ancient times, one is the crossbow and the other is the armor. It's because there is armor and there is no armor, those are the two levels of combat effectiveness.

With armor, it can block most damage, and it can concentrate on the output with all its strength, which has always been one of the standards of the elite, and no armor is one of the symbols of cannon fodder.

Therefore, these rebels are no match for them at all, and when the most courageous ones are hacked to death, the rest can only lay down the loot one by one and flee in embarrassment.

From the sky, you can see the general flow of these fleeers, heading towards several exits of the palace.

Of course, most of them can't outrun those steel knife Taoists, and some of them are lost, and they have walked into a real dead end.

And those steel knife Taoist priests seemed to be venting, even if someone really couldn't run anymore and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy, they would go up and cut it down with a knife on the head, and suddenly blood gushed out.

Just when Fang Ning really couldn't look past it and wanted to intervene to stop it, the situation changed again, and it was a change that made him dumbfounded.

I saw that at the exit of the palace, the few chaotic people who ran out first, were still followed by several teams of steel knife Taoist priests who were chasing after them.

Obviously, these Taoist priests hated the rebels and wanted to exterminate them.

And when these quick-paced rebels ran to a verdant green forest outside the palace, they suddenly stopped and ran to the sides, as if they had been reprimanded.

From the sky, Fang Ning could see clearly, there were many shadows in the green forest, and there was a large group of people in ambush, which seemed to be the so-called imperial army in the mouth of the Taoist priest.

But the steel knife Taoist priests who were chasing after them naturally didn't have this look, not to mention that they lost their spells, and they couldn't sense any crisis in advance.

When they followed the rebels and ran to the vicinity of the green forest, they just noticed that something was wrong and stopped one after another, and they were hit by a blow in the head.

"Bang! Bang! ”

Bursts of gunpowder smoke rose from the dense forest, and a projectile, like splashing water, rushed towards the steel sword Taoist.

"Damn, it's a musket?" Fang Ning's eyes were sharp, and when he took a closer look, he was immediately taken aback, "Is this also a traverser in the upper realm?" The spell didn't work, and you started playing with gunpowder weapons? ”

"There is not enough intelligence to judge." The system incarnation obviously did not have the self-consciousness of the uncle, and replied truthfully.

If the uncle is here, he must say, "Aren't you the traverser?" ”

Fang Ning had no intention of scheming with the system incarnation, after all, the other party was an intelligent machine.

He was just wondering what impact these changes would have on the Upper Realm.

The invention of the musket meant a great change in the human world, with the help of the musket, the barbarians were gradually cleaned up, and the so-called civilized people began to rule more land and seize more resources, thus accumulating the resources needed for the industrial revolution.

The appearance of muskets means that steel armor is completely ineffective, and it means that the gap between elite soldiers and ordinary soldiers has been greatly reduced, and modern soldiers are consumables for the assembly line.

It was not until the appearance of tanks and armored vehicles that armor reappeared on the battlefield in another form.

And now, too.

The powerful flesh that the Taoist priests have tempered for a hundred years is also vulnerable in front of the musket!

There were thirty or forty Taoist priests in those teams, and most of them fell to the ground, bleeding like a river.

Only a very small number of Taoist priests were still standing, but they were also hit by the projectile and took a few steps back, looking down at their chests in disbelief.

Then they looked up at the musket team in front of them, and instead of rushing straight on, they turned around and ran.

"It's strange that they only need ten people to rush into that musket team, they can kill them, why should they run away?" The system avatar asked suddenly.

"Well, if the uncle was here, he wouldn't have asked this question," Fang Ning said speechlessly, "After all, they are people, not machines, they only dare to go to the battlefield and fight hard by relying on their powerful bodies and having the advantage of crushing, and now seeing their companions being knocked down with a single shot, who is willing to fight for the probability of not being killed?" After all, they didn't know the true power of the muskets. ”

"Oh, I see, they're scared because of the unknown." System avatars get it.

"That's it." Fang Ning understood very well that it was normal for these Daoists to collapse, and if they didn't collapse, it would be surprising.

After all, Taoist priests have been cultivating for hundreds of years, not to serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield, let alone the restraints of military law and the warlords.

And at this moment, after repelling the first batch of Taoist priests, Fang Ning heard cheers coming from the dense forest.

"Ah, it really works, the Kingdom of Heaven and Man is powerful, this kind of Heavenly Fire Artifact that has been passed over can really destroy the Demon Dao!"

The soldiers below were obviously overexcited and made an uproar.

But then there was a burst of shouting, and the noise quickly died down.

Immediately after, one after another, orders appeared, and those musket teams left the forest one after another and began to roll towards the Dao Palace.

So the scene just now was repeated, only this time, it was those steel sword Taoist priests who were slaughtered.

Of course, it is those Taoist priests who have seen muskets for the first time, or those who have heard the Taoist priests who have been defeated and retreated before, and do not believe in evil......

As for the others who believed and had been taught, they all walked like flying, climbed over the wall, and soon escaped from the debut palace.

"If these guys are strong enough to fight, organize twenty or thirty people, rely only on bows and arrows, no, with a strong body, just rely on bricks and stones, they can also break up this nascent musket team, but unfortunately, if it is not an army, it will not be able to do this." Fang Ning sighed.

He was condescending, and naturally saw the advantages and disadvantages of both sides clearly.

In fact, even at the last moment, the Taoist priests have a chance to turn defeat into victory on the battlefield, after all, the rate of fire of the musket is placed there.

It's just that when they found their invulnerable bodies ruthlessly broken in front of the muskets, they were obviously panicked, and even the leaders took the lead in escaping, and after losing their organizational power, everything was irreparable.

Of course, from a strategic point of view, these Taoist priests had no problem running, because even if they won this battle, the imperial army could continue to organize more musket teams to kill them.

"However, why did the mortal court want to strangle these Taoist priests?" Fang Ning was surprised, "Could it be that I was oppressed too much before, and now I have begun to awaken the consciousness of resistance?" ”

"Oh, it should be for those elixirs of immortality." The system avatar gives the answer directly.

Fang Ning took a closer look, only to see that the soldiers began to be sent out, entering places similar to alchemy rooms, and then he understood.

What kind of resistance to oppression, venting grievances, it is all gone, if it is said that the rebels may still have this nature just now, but these imperial armies that use the rebels as bait and tempter have no such idea at all.

They are here to compete with the Taoist priests for the last batch of elixirs for the immortality of the court magnates!

In the context of the dissipation of vitality, this contradiction cannot be adjusted, no wonder we have to meet each other in the end.

Since the Taoist priests have no strength and can't continue to alchemy, and there are still a batch of pills hidden at home, isn't that just a crime?

Of course, the imperial army will not do too much, and there will be a few Taoist seeds left, but most of the Taoist priests will be killed, so as not to compete with them for the last bit of cultivation resources.

"Hmph, fortunately, I didn't go down to interfere, neither side was for any justice......" Fang Ning shook his head and said.
