Chapter 0007: Kill

With a heavy sigh, he gritted his teeth and commanded, "Prepare the remaining guards, and in a moment, continue the attack. I refuse to believe we cannot deal with this group of treasonous rebels. Once we capture the city, I will personally execute that Zhao Yuanjin!"

I have played quite a few shooting games, but this is my first time actually handling a gun. It is inevitable to feel nervous and inexperienced when the moment arrives. If I happen to miss the target or only injure the opponent, it may raise their alertness, making it difficult to have such an opportunity in the future

A group of burly bodyguards raised heavy shields to confront the attackers, attempting to reclaim the body of the general, yet they were still unable to withstand the terrifying assault. The whistling bullets pierced through the shields, and within a few breaths, these bodyguards also fell into a pool of blood.

However, a few hundred steps outside the city, the banners of the imperial army were fluttering, the formations were orderly, and the military appearance showed no signs of disorder, indicating that there was no intention of ceasing operations at all

He has a kind of intuition that even if he has the ability to move an entire fully equipped Chinese field army here, there might still be a giant meteorite falling from the sky. In the face of such an insurmountable calamity, even the United States' national missile defense system and China's similar Tianwang system would be powerless to resist

The imperial army retreated in a panic, withdrawing to a more distant camp, leaving even the bodies on the ground uncollected

Fatal injury shield. It can protect the host by shielding certain special abilities that pose a threat to the host's life, with an effective duration of 60 seconds. Requires World Origin: 10

Time Stream. It can adjust and change the flow rate of time in the indigenous world, with a maximum acceleration of three times (relative to the original world), requiring a world origin of 20

Moreover, even if one is willing to help, one can no longer use the M16 automatic rifle to resolve issues at will; otherwise, if it raises the vigilance of the will of this world next time, it may not be so easy to get through.

He has always been known for his ability to fight and win battles, yet he has been held up outside the county city for several days by such a lowly rebel leader, which is truly not a glorious matter. Especially with a few individuals in the court who are not aligned with him, they will surely go to the young emperor and the chief minister to speak ill of him again

The list includes more than ten options, all of which appear to be very useful. However, Qin Feng feels that he does not need to make an immediate decision and can take a look before proceeding. There will certainly be better options available later, and of course, the required quantity of the world's original sources will be greater.

F-level gene optimization. It can significantly enhance the overall physical quality of the host, achieving a standard equivalent to that of an initial world special forces soldier, with a lifespan increase of 10%, requiring a world origin of 30

In fact, there is no need for further elaboration; he can clearly discern that the armored general under the central military banner in the distance holds a distinctly different status. This individual is one of the few renowned generals in the current Da Qi court. Had it not been for him, Zhao Yuanjin would not have fallen into his current predicament

After the city falls, should we carry out a cleansing of the city

Immediately following, a detailed list appeared, outlining the abilities he is currently able to choose from

Moreover, as long as one continues to assist Zhao Yuanjin in his development and growth, the course of history in this world will increasingly change, and the starship will have the opportunity to safely extract more of the world's essence

Is that all there is to it

So this starship has the ability to enter a temporary enhancement state? Qin Feng felt a sense of calm wash over him, slowly raising his gun and bringing the distant figure of Meng Luo into the optical sight. After making slight adjustments, he decisively pulled the trigger.

Qin Feng made a rough estimate of the distance; the straight-line distance from his position to Meng Luo's was approximately less than 600 steps, equivalent to about 300 meters, far exceeding the range of the bows and arrows on the city wall. The effective range of the M16 automatic rifle is 600 meters, theoretically making it effortless to eliminate this general.

Under the banner of the central army, Meng Luo, with a sullen expression, held a saber in hand and coldly stared at the still imposing city gate in the distance, feeling increasingly irritable within

Although he understood that the city was now at the end of its tether, and that with just a little more effort, they could achieve great success after attacking for most of the day, he felt an indescribable frustration deep within.

Toxin weakening. It can enhance the host's body resistance to various toxic substances, requiring a world origin of 10

Moreover, the current Qin Feng is far inferior to Wang Mang. If he continues to act without caution and low profile, he will inevitably meet a very disgraceful end in the future

Qin Feng was about to speak when an overwhelming sense of fear suddenly surged within him, as he faintly sensed that a colossal and terrifying will was beginning to awaken high above in the vast sky, casting its gaze upon the area where he was located

The newly emerged information in Qin Feng's mind made his expression grave. The origin of this world cannot be extracted at will, as it would provoke the hostility and counterattack of the will of this world. Only if the actions of him, as the master, influence the evolutionary direction of the historical process of this world, can some be secretly extracted at the moment when the predetermined fate line is distorted and changed.

Under the banner of the central army, Meng Luo turned his head, intending to say something to Zhu Yuntai beside him, when a sudden sense of alarm rose in his heart

He was still lost in confusion, yet no one was there to clarify his doubts. Faintly, he could hear Zhu Yuntai's exclamation, and then his consciousness plunged into an endless darkness

Warning! Warning! The master is in danger of being detected by the will of this world, please conceal yourself as soon as possible! Please conceal yourself as soon as possible! This message was transmitted from the mysterious starship in my mind

The several generals who were summoned responded solemnly and went down to make preparations. Although they felt regret in their hearts for the casualties among their soldiers, this was now a critical moment; as long as they breached the county city, their contributions would be undeniable

Furthermore, it is advised that the master refrain from casually using weapons that are far beyond the technological level of this realm, especially when it comes to eliminating certain important indigenous individuals, as this may provoke the hostility of the world's will, which would be detrimental to the master's activities and development in this realm

It seemed to sense his emotions, and the battleship within him trembled slightly. A mysterious surge of heat flowed into his eyes and arms, and he immediately felt a significant increase in his familiarity with the firearm in his hand, as if... as if he were a seasoned veteran who had been using a gun for many years

Qin Feng looked completely bewildered, especially by the subsequent hints and explanations that left him speechless. Since you know there are risks involved, why didn't you remind me earlier? Why wait until something happens to play the blame game? Are you intentionally trying to make things difficult for me?

Not doing one thing leads to not stopping another, he pulled out two magazines and placed them beside him, continuing to pull the trigger and spray bullets. Killing just one Meng Luo is probably not enough; it would be best to take out a few more of the guards and commanders around him. If a significant number of mid- to high-ranking officers are killed, the entire court's military will surely be thrown into chaos

Amidst the dense gunfire, the area surrounding Meng Luo's corpse had almost become a dead zone. Those who dared to approach, regardless of their status or rank, were riddled with varying numbers of bullet holes and fell one after another as if they were being mowed down.

On the city wall, Zhao Yuanjin and a group of civil and military officials looked on in disbelief at the performance of the court's army, still unable to react.

What is the origin of the world? What is this thing?

Upon seeing Meng Luo fall from his horse covered in blood, Zhu Yuntai, along with a group of guards and a throng of personal soldiers, rushed over in a frenzy, each one pale with fear. At this critical moment in the battle, the sudden mishap of the commander could have a disastrous impact on the morale of the troops

Unfortunately, they are destined to remain without answers, the gunfire on the city walls continues unabated, and the cries of anguish from below the city are incessant.

"It was that group of traitors who did it"

Suddenly, he saw multiple blood holes abruptly appear on his body, bright red blood gushing out rapidly, a sharp pain surged, and the tremendous impact force made him unable to sit steadily on the horse's back, causing him to fall straight backward.

The will of this world? What on earth is this? How come I am not aware of this development?

The origin of the world belongs to the special energy that is essential for starships. Some functions of the starship have been activated, allowing the master to enhance various physical qualities, increase lifespan, acquire special abilities, and create rare items or resources, among other things. The more the quantity of the world's origin, the more functions can be activated

On the city wall, Qin Feng pondered to himself that the people of this era knew nothing about firearms, let alone any defensive measures to evade them; being directly killed was an inevitable outcome

Zhao Yuanjin immediately ordered the soldiers on duty inside to be expelled, and then instructed his personal guards to stand watch at the door, stating that no one was allowed to enter without permission

... ...

No matter how powerful a traverser may be, when encountering beings such as the Child of the Dimension or the Will of this World, which are akin to bugs, they too must kneel

A thought suddenly emerged in my mind, but reason quickly extinguished it. I am not a rebel or a bandit, but rather a representative of the legitimate authority of the court. If news of such plundering and slaughter of the citizens in the city were to spread, the spittle of those officials and censors in the court would be enough to drown me.

I ... ... What ... ... happened?

Qin Feng's expression grew increasingly grave, as the difficulty of this matter had evidently increased significantly. After all, although the imperial army had retreated, Zhao Yuanjin's available mobile forces were also dwindling. Now, apart from this one prefectural city, all surrounding territories had been completely lost, and there were insufficient provisions and troops. What resources were left to launch new offensives to capture cities and territories? At least for the next few months, there would be no such capability, unless he extended a helping hand.

On the city wall

The siege, which has lasted for more than a day, has resulted in thousands of corpses and a large number of wounded soldiers, yet it has not achieved any commendable results. Zhao Yuanjin personally commanded the defense, fighting desperately, but even now there has been no progress.

Qin Feng let out a sigh of relief, fortunate that the other party did not possess the ability to cross-border track; otherwise, he truly would not know how to handle the situation.

Confused, Qin Feng cursed inwardly, yet he did not dare to delay. He hurriedly briefed Zhao Yuanjin with a few words and swiftly dashed into the city gate tower not far away

After receiving a positive response from Su Mu, Qin Feng nodded slightly, unveiling the cloth bag beside him to reveal an automatic rifle that glimmered with a metallic cold light. He had taken this item out while in the carriage, intending to keep certain secrets hidden from outsiders

General! General? What is the matter with you?

As dozens of corpses lay scattered on the ground, the surviving guards finally noticed that the inexplicable attack was coming from the city walls. Amidst their shock and anger, a profound fear began to rise within them. They had long surpassed the lethal range of arrows; what strange weapons were those bandits and traitors using? How could they effortlessly launch a surprise attack and kill the general from such a distance?

It feels a bit like bullying

What kind of weapon is this

The once majestic and awe-inspiring elite of the court, which had been their nearly hopeless adversary, was unexpectedly thrown into disarray and forced to retreat in panic after the sudden death of their commander. In the past, such a scene could only have been imagined in dreams

Wang Mang of the Han Dynasty is a living example of a time traveler who had already seized power and controlled the resources of the world. When he encountered the meteorite technique of Liu Xiu, the son of the plane, his hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed in an instant, resulting in a complete defeat. In the end, he was not only ousted from the throne but also met a tragic end with no place for burial.

The mysterious starship within the body began to tremble slightly, and new information flooded into the mind: "... help the feudal lord Zhao Yuanjin of this realm repel the imperial army, the historical process of this world will undergo changes, the starship extracts the world's essence: 20"

In the shifting light and shadow, Qin Feng's figure reappeared in the hotel room. At the same time, the dangerous sensation that had sent chills down his spine vanished in an instant

Zhao Yuanjin looked around in confusion, but it was not appropriate to ask too many questions in such a situation. He gestured to the side, and a group of personal guards immediately came over, raising their large shields to encircle Qin Feng, blocking the view of outsiders

Withdraw!

After contemplating for a while, Qin Feng decided to discuss it with Zhao Yuanjin before making a decision

As the sound of the retreat horn echoed, the offensive at the city walls came to an immediate halt, and numerous court soldiers withdrew like a receding tide, marking the end of this round.

A surviving commander witnessed the increasing number of fallen soldiers, and more than ten officers who charged forward were not spared. Knowing that the situation was untenable, he issued the order to retreat to the camp, his eyes bloodshot and gritting his teeth.

"That general must be Meng Luo, right?" Qin Feng asked with a serious expression
