Towards Eternity
Ch 705's. Destruction of Huwa Islands (I)
Meanwhile, on other islands within the Huwa Islands region.
A young man stood gallantly before a giant wave that was high enough to flatten where he stood, his own home.
The young man narrowed his eyes staring at the huge wave.
He took a deep breath, then threw it away long enough. His right hand suddenly shot upwards, and along with that, over a thousand metal poles stood around him.
"Foot!!" the young man shouted.
His right hand was slashed. A thousand more metal pylons were immediately facing towards the huge waves, the next second, a shot of energy was unleashed from each pole.
That energy shot instantly hit the big waves.
*HOOOMMM!!!*
The waves were instantly destroyed. Water dripped in all directions. The area around the young man immediately rained heavily, as a result of the waves that had been destroyed.
"Report, Chief! Another big wave will come in some breath time! Recharging all the cannons is in process. It was estimated that the cannon would be recharged before the waves entered the firing range!"
Another young man was seen giving a report to the young man who led the energy shot earlier.
The young man who heard his report only nodded calmly, and told him to go and help the people to recharge the cannons.
After the young man left, the young man leading the way once again sighed. He saw his forehead hurt.
"Fuck you, Weng Lou! Just send an emergency message! It's a good thing I've been preparing these cannons for a long time! Otherwise, that Rengu City would have already been completely destroyed by the waves before!" Choi cursed in his heart.
He looked to his right and left. Many residents of Rengu City are recharging their cannon that has been mass produced.
The cannon was a gift given by Weng Lou as a parting gift before he left a few years ago.
The original concept was to rely on a strange object resembling jade covered by many carvings of strange patterns capable of absorbing the Profound Power of the surrounding realms. The jade will be inserted into the cannon which then with a variety of mechanisms on the cannon, that jade would unleash all of the Profound Power at the same time which then made it an energy attack with such terrifying explosive power.
It wasn't difficult to make these cannons, the challenge for Choi was to make a jade slip that could store the Profound Power in nature. Although he had been equipped with several notes given by Weng Lou, he still needed several months to complete one jade piece.
Not long after, he managed to finish a set of cannons. Choi immediately tested the cannon and was witnessed by all residents of Rengu City.
As a result, the power of a single cannon strike was able to blow up a rock famous for its hardness. Because of the power of the cannon, finally, people in Rengu City began offering Choi to mass-produce it and make it a weapon in Rengu City that can be used at any time in case of unwanted problems.
Also, the cannons would be used to threaten and scare away the wandering Martial Practitioners who were being insolent within Rengu City. If any of the immigrant Martial Practitioners were to do something that surrounded one of the townspeople, cannons would be issued. The Martial Practitioner who made the matter would be immediately expelled right away and banned from entering the city again.
If if he dared to recklessly enter the city again, then the cannons would actually be fired at him.
But in fact, for several years, the cannon was almost never used.
Perhaps every year, the cannons were only issued a few times, but never fired at all. The only time all these cannons were used was one year after the departure of Weng Lou.
The attack of a group of Martial Practitioners was carried out against Rengu City. They were Martial Practitioners who lost the battle fighting over their respective territories. As a result, the defeated Martial Practitioners tried to attack and take over Rengu City.
Unfortunately for them, before they even had time to set foot in Rengu City, they had all been killed by the cannons created by Choi and the residents of Rengu City. At that time the cannon had only fifty pieces, but it was enough to silence all those who had bad intentions towards Rengu City.
After a few years, these cannons could finally be used once again. But this time not to threaten or attack the Martial Practitioners did not know themselves from outside Rengu City, but rather to destroy the big waves that came to destroy Rengu City.
"Ah...if only father was still here," muttered Choi.
Her father traveled a year ago for treatment. The pain he had suffered for so many years finally managed to collapse his endurance.
He was now nothing more than an old man who continued to lie on his bed every day. Choi wanted to accompany him when he was about to go for treatment, but his father gave him a very important task, which was to guard their workshop and protect Rengu City.
Choi had no reason to refuse. After all, the people in Rengu City had also recognized him as the number one inventor in the city, and the weapons he had made, had proven capable of protecting all of them.
"I hope all these problems can be resolved as soon as possible. That guy. Such a huge wave was caused by the impact of the fight he had with someone, completely beyond human common sense. Even for a genius like me, all of this needs to be digested further."
A few minutes later, another huge wave was seen in the distance.
People in Rengu City were stunned at their place when they saw the waves. Because the waves turned out to have a height half times higher than the previous waves.
The sunlight was blocked by its height, and caused Rengu City to look like it was at night.
"Everything! Prepare cannons!!" Choi gave the order while shouting loudly.
His voice can be heard by everyone in the city, all items thanks to a tool of his creation, which is a funnel with the ability to raise the voice.
The distance the big waves were still three hundred meters away from Rengu City, but the closer the waves were, the higher the waves were visible to the people inside the city.
Witnessing this, many people began to sweat coldly.
Everyone knew what would happen if the waves hit Rengu City. The entire city would be destroyed, perhaps even collapse and fall into the sea.
Choi on the other hand seemed to remain calm, although within him, he was also agitated. His heart even beats very fast. However, as a leader, he must show the proper attitude of the leader.
Bravely, he raised his hand, then then swung it down.
"S!!!!!!"
Simultaneously with his exclamation, everyone who had a cannon with him, immediately triggered a lighter on the cannon, and fired it at the huge wave.
*BOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOMM!!!!*
One by one the cannon shot was released and hit the big waves.
The blast from each cannon shot looked like a huge rock thrown at a lake.
If only one, then the stone will not cause ripples that are too large, or splashes that shake the entire lake. But what if there are thousands of stones? The entire lake would be completely shaken.
There were no quiet parts, all the ripples would appear, and so would the waves that were heading towards Rengu City.
Dozens of cannon shots at first only caused some parts of the waves to disintegrate, but then, when other shots arrived, the waves were completely ravaged and destroyed so that they no longer harmed Rengu City.
The rest of the waves were indestructible, only hitting the bottom of Rengu City, without being able to cause any damage.
The supporting poles under Rengu City are poles formed of solid and strong wood and metals. Such waves would not harm the city at all.
Inside the city, people seemed to be cheering cheerfully as the waves were successfully destroyed.
Some people seemed to embrace each other, some seemed to cry. There was even someone who was shouting out of excitement.
Meanwhile, Choi in his position seemed to be sighing deeply. He could feel his entire body drenched by the sweat and water droplets from the waves that had been crushed by the cannons.
However, all that happiness soon dissipated, as Choi stared at something in the distance that looked very familiar in his eyes.
The binoculars beside him were immediately taken away and placed in front of his right eye.
He looked far away. Something like a huge wall was visible in the distance. Binoculars at first could not focus on seeing it. Choi quickly set it up and saw with her back.
This time, his face immediately stiffened. Unknowingly, the binoculars in his hand fell down and he sat on the ground with his mouth gaping in disbelief.
His breathing became heavy, and his consciousness seemed like it was about to disappear.
What he saw with his binoculars was a very high and long wall. Because of its length, Choi is not sure where the end is.
Unfortunately, it was not a real wall, but another big wave. It was a wave that was many times larger than the one they had smashed before. Even Choi was dumbstruck by the magnitude.
Missing was the leadership attitude he displayed. Now there is only pessimism in him.
The shadow of the destruction of the entire Rengu City appeared in his mind. He began to despair at his place.
When she sat down not knowing what to do, she remembered the message Weng Lou had sent her. This made him come back to his senses.
Quickly, he got back up to his feet and gave the order once again to everyone within the city.
"EVERYTHING!!!!! QUICKLY REFILL THE CANNON!!!!! FILL IT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE!!!! I REPEAT, FILL THE CANNON AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE!!!!! ANOTHER WAVE IS COMING SOON!!!!!!"
His cry made everyone who was sharing happiness, now start looking at him in confusion.
In that confusion, they one by one turned to the distant sea. Just like Choi, they also saw a huge wall in the distance that seemed to be getting higher and higher.
It was then that one of them realized that it was not a wall, but another big wave. A wave that is many times over.
"WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?!!!! QUICKLY REFILL THE CANNON!!!!!" Choi again exclaimed, resuscitating everyone who stood speechless.
In a hurry, they began to refill the cannons.
Panic arises on their day. Their hands quickly moved filling the jade with Profound Energy. They did as fast as they could while being overshadowed by the shadow of death that was already in sight.
