Chapter 951: Giant Ballista!

Translated by: Hypersheep325

Edited by: Michyrr

“Lord Marquis, from the moment that monster appeared, we began to set it up, but the construction of this giant ballista is extremely complicated and time-consuming. I am afraid that it will take some more time until it is complete.”

Zhang Shouzhi lowered his head and bowed.

“Wang Chong, just what’s going on here? What is this giant ballista?”

Gao Xianzhi finally could no longer suppress his questions. The Great Tang had ballistae, but he had never heard of any giant ballistae. These giant ballistae apparently needed to be put together and required a long time to set up, but Gao Xianzhi had heard nothing about them.

“In the war of the southwest, the Tibetans had an army of giant soldiers. Milord should know about this matter,” Wang Chong said.

Gao Xianzhi nodded. The war of the southwest had had far-reaching effects. Gao Xianzhi had investigated the matter, so he knew that such a thing had happened.

“But what does that have to do with this?”

“These giant ballistae were meant to deal with those giants!” Wang Chong frankly admitted.

Gao Xianzhi’s face froze in surprise.

“Ever since the end of the war of the southwest, I wanted to make a weapon that could be used against this sort of massive opponent, but the progress has never been very smooth. The construction of the Great Tang ballistae has always been a secret, and there’s never been an idea for giant ballistae before, much less anyone attempting to build one. Thus, even though a lot of time and energy has been put into this endeavor, only a little progress has been achieved.”

Wang Chong had been privately researching giant ballistae to deal with the Skyquaking Giants, not to deal with this sort of enormous Behemoth. But there was no other option now, and Wang Chong could only try every method he had available to him. Even though the others might not know, Wang Chong was well aware that the Arabs did not just have one of these Behemoths. This assault was merely the prelude.

While Wang Chong was speaking with Gao Xianzhi and the others, in the distance, Abu Muslim stood in the rear of his army, his gaze fixed on the sprawling corpse of the Behemoth. After a long time, he slowly looked away.

“It was a failure. It seems that not even the Behemoth can break the Tang defense line!”

Ziyad frowned as he spoke. He had originally been full of hope for the Behemoth Army, but this was not the result he had desired.

Abu Muslim remained silent, his face emotionless as he slowly turned his head in another direction. Ten zhang away stood the silent figure of Masil in his dark red robes, the commander of the Behemoth Army.

“This is just a coincidence!” As if understanding the meaning of Abu Muslim’s gaze, Masil clenched his teeth and retorted, “There is no enemy that my Behemoth Army cannot destroy, no city that my Behemoth Army cannot crush. Give me one more chance and I will destroy them, tear apart their defense line, crush their fortifications!”

Masil clenched his fists. Never had he imagined that he would meet four Imperial Great Generals on one battlefield. This was no normal occurrence. Most countries the Arabs encountered did not even have this many Great Generals.
