Dual-wielding! 100x proficiency, I'll grind my way to godhood!

The mobilization of hundreds of thousands of people at the foot of the mountain could not be concealed.

Tents were uprooted, makeshift shelters were dismantled, and everyone tied up their knives and guns, carried them on their shoulders, and moved in groups toward the foot of the mountain.

The campsite, stretching for miles, was bustling with activity and filled with deafening noise, with dust billowing into the sky. Even from halfway up Shennongjiao Mountain, one could see it clearly.

The Shennong sect had long ago laid out spies at the foot of the mountain, and news from all directions was rapidly spreading up the mountain.

"Reporting to the Protector! All the major sects are gathering at the foot of the mountain, and the independent cultivators have already formed teams. The team leaders have publicly promised that the first person to reach the summit will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!"

The following night, new secret reports were sent back.

"Reporting to the Protector! The routes for attacking the mountain have been divided among all factions, each responsible for its own area, and no one is allowed to overstep their boundaries. The time for action has been set: noon on the third day, a simultaneous attack from all four sides!"

After hearing the report from his informant, Wang Fucheng immediately and methodically issued instructions.

The order was given to gather the disciples from each peak back to the village, double the guards on the mountain patrols, completely close the gates, and move all the logs and stones onto the walls.

Three thousand inner disciples formed a battle formation, guarding all the key routes up and down the mountain with unwavering resolve.

He had no idea what terrifying trump card was hidden on the mountaintop, only that the enemy was launching a large-scale attack.

As a protector, his duty was to safeguard the entire Shennong sect as if it were an impregnable fortress.

The field disciples stationed in Stone Village were also ordered to retreat back into the mountains.

The heroes of the martial arts world down the mountain only had the Nine Yin and Nine Yang Manuals as their targets, and they didn't bother with the ordinary people in the village at all. Stone Village remained peaceful and stable, and the villagers continued their lives as usual, unaffected in the slightest.

After arranging all the defenses, Wang Fucheng was still uneasy and personally went up the stockade wall to inspect it one by one.

He personally checked every detail, from whether there was enough log storage to whether the stones were placed stably.

After returning to the courtyard from his patrol, he still stood ramrod straight, but his palms were already clenched with cold sweat.

There were three to four hundred thousand enemies at the foot of the mountain, and the Shennong Sect had a hundred thousand disciples, which sounded like a lot, but the highest level of the outer disciples was only the Qi Control Realm.

In ordinary martial arts circles, he would be considered a skilled fighter, but against any grandmaster on the other side, he could easily crush a large number of them with a wave of his hand.

Such a huge gap in combat strength left him completely uncertain and clueless about how to fight this battle.

As evening fell, Chen Mo quietly returned.

No one could see his whereabouts clearly. One second the courtyard was empty and deserted, and the next second he was standing quietly in the middle of the courtyard.

The women had been waiting there for a long time, with Shangguan Hong standing at the front.

As the leader of the Shennong Sect, she usually manages the sect with composure and decisiveness, but at this moment her brows were tightly furrowed and her face was full of solemnity.

Xu Wanqing stepped forward and reported softly.

"Young Master, in the past two days, the heroes at the foot of the mountain have completely sealed off the entire mountain. The Left Protector's investigation reports that the number of attackers is at least three to four hundred thousand."

Chen Mo listened with a calm expression, showing no emotion whatsoever.

"Just a bunch of rabble."

He spoke casually, offering only a light comment.

"No matter how many people there are, they are just ordinary people who walk on two legs and fight with knives. A few shots will scatter them in an instant."

The women were all taken aback upon hearing this, but then suddenly understood.

Yes, even if the hundreds of thousands of people down the mountain are terrifying, they are still just mortals fighting with cold weapons.

In the face of artillery fire, there is absolutely no difference between three or four hundred thousand and three or four thousand.

Previously, everyone was intimidated by the sheer number of people, which threw them into disarray.

Chen Mo turned to look at Shangguan Hong and asked calmly.

"How many Grandmaster-level or higher experts does the enemy have in total?"

Shangguan Hong frowned even more deeply and replied in a deep voice.

"Based on the precise investigation by informants, there are eleven Grandmasters and over a hundred Grandmasters in total."

The courtyard fell silent instantly.

Eleven grandmasters and hundreds of other grandmasters.

This top-tier combat power is enough to sweep away any established sect in the martial arts world. Even the regular forces of the imperial court would have to carefully consider their options and dare not provoke them lightly.

Chen Mo nodded slightly, his tone remaining calm.

"My strength has now been fully restored, and I am more than capable of dealing with these people."

The women looked completely bewildered.

How could one person single-handedly confront eleven grandmasters and hundreds of other grandmasters?

After the initial shock, all the doubts in everyone's hearts dissipated.

The young master is no ordinary man; if he says he can win, then he definitely can.

Only Shangguan Hong remained exceptionally calm and asked directly:

"How does the young master intend to deal with the enemy?"

Chen Mo spoke calmly.

"Same as before, bombard them with artillery fire first!"

The next morning, Chen Mo led everyone to the gun emplacement on the mountaintop.

The twelve gun positions were inspected one by one. Originally, three 155 heavy guns were set up on the high ground, and nine 57 rapid-fire guns were deployed at the cliff mouth and flanks.

Chen Mo raised his hand and waved it, and the cannons in his storage space appeared one after another and landed on the ground.

Each 155mm gun position was supplemented with an additional 57mm rapid-fire gun.

Each 57mm gun position is additionally equipped with a 155mm heavy gun. One heavy and one light, one long-range and one fast, paired together, they are both offensive and defensive.

He reached out and placed his hand on the gun barrel of a 57mm rapid-fire cannon, and whispered his instructions.

"This batch of Type 57 anti-aircraft guns has been converted to rapid fire. The muzzle can be raised freely, enabling it to engage in anti-aircraft attacks. Remember this."

Qingzhu's eyes lit up instantly.

"Can it even attack from the sky?"

You'll naturally need it later.

Chen Mo didn't explain further.

Everyone quickly divided the tasks and took their positions.

Everyone is like a heavy cannon and a rapid-fire cannon, taking turns firing.

The 57mm rapid-fire cannon is easy to operate and has an extremely fast rate of fire. Each magazine contains four rounds of ammunition, and pressing the trigger will unleash a burst of firepower instantly.

After Chen Mo taught them for a while, everyone's technique became extremely proficient.

Massive quantities of ammunition were continuously retrieved from the storage space and piled up behind every gun emplacement.

The 155mm shells, more than half a person's height, with green painted bodies and brass warheads, stood neatly in the shell-avoidance crater.

All the 57mm shells were unpacked and laid out, their golden bodies covering the entire area.

At the most crucial main position on the front of the cliff, Chen Mo set up a separate artillery position, equipped with a 155mm heavy cannon and a 57mm rapid-fire cannon, with more ammunition than any other artillery position.

Looking at the array of cannons, Qingzhu couldn't help but ask a question.

"Young master, who will be responsible for loading ammunition and guarding this gun emplacement?"

Chen Mo spoke calmly.

"The Left Protector will arrange for his disciples to come later."

Loading shells requires manpower, so Chen Mo immediately asked Wang Fucheng to select two reliable disciples to be responsible for feeding and loading shells for each cannon.

Wang Fucheng didn't ask any questions or guesses; he accepted the order and immediately went to make arrangements.

He witnessed the deafening cannon fire and the three scorched earth craters at the foot of the mountain that night. He knew that the sect was hiding a supreme divine artifact, and he always remembered the rules he should follow. He would never ask questions that he shouldn't ask.

Within half an hour, all sixty carefully selected and reliable disciples were in place.

Chen Mo spent an hour giving a unified instruction, teaching everyone step by step the entire process of opening the bolt, passing the bullet, loading, and closing the bolt.

The disciples studied diligently and intently, and no one asked what kind of magical artifacts these iron lumps were.

On their first attempt, fortunately, these people were quite strong, all at the Inner Strength Realm. Each of them could lift a heavy 155mm shell, and the lighter 57mm shell was even easier, easily lifted with one hand.

Everyone silently memorized the techniques and waited attentively for their orders.
