Atop the gate tower, Tang Xuan and the others were observing the battle.
"Those soldiers fighting in the air are using Flowfire Guns, aren't they?" Tang Xuan asked.
"Yes, those are Flowfire Guns. They're integrated with the Twin Wings on the soldiers' backs and connected by thin tubes. Each gun can fire fifty times in succession before the soldier has to return for more ammunition," Lin Ao said.
Lin Ao then pointed to the neatly arranged artillery batteries and told Tang Xuan, "The Thunderbolt Cannons are the most powerful, but because they're so large, each requires two people to operate."
Song Ming added, "Ye An said that if we'd used these Thunderbolt Cannons in the last attack on Spirit City, half an hour of sustained bombardment would have razed the entire city to the ground."
"But Ye An also said these only count as semi-Soul-Guided Weapons. They still rely heavily on gunpowder. We can't yet make full use of external energy sources to create true Soul-Guided Weapons," Lin Ao said with considerable regret.
"For now, this is enough. They let our soldiers crush the enemy completely, and winning at the lowest possible cost is all we need. If we created true Soul-Guided Weapons right now, the impact would be immeasurable," Tang Xuan said gravely.
"Let me make this clear in advance: research into Soul-Guided Weapons may continue, but their use must be strictly controlled. Their core technology must never be leaked, and natural energy resources must not be devastated on a large scale. From now on, they must not be used at will without my orders or the Elder Council's approval," Tang Xuan said sternly.
"Yes, Sect Master!" everyone answered in unison.
"Infantry, charge!" At the command, horns sounded. The soldiers behind the rear positions surged toward the enemy camp
