The infinite heavens begin with American horror.

When they went down, they were well-equipped and neatly dressed female soldiers of the Crane Army; when they returned, all that remained were iron rings covered in blood. The female soldiers of the Crane Army who went down had all been devoured by the gluttons.

What kind of tactic is this? It's just suicide missions. Moreover, the female soldiers of the Crane Army are all wearing blue armor and blue helmets. Their attire is exactly like that of Ele.me's Blue Knights.

The food delivery ordered by the gluttonous army has arrived, right?

"Commander Shao, what kind of tactic is this? Forgive my poor eyesight, but I really can't see it. Are these Crane Army soldiers trying to stuff the Taotie Beast King to death?"

"Master Li, this Crane Army was established for this very purpose. They know what their mission is. Facing the fierce and brutal Taotie army, as long as they can defend the Great Wall, these sacrifices are nothing," Commander Shao replied.

Who wouldn't be afraid of death? These female soldiers of the Crane Army are lucky to get one for one in combat; the vast majority of them are just throwing their lives away.

But what's the point of you trading one for one with the Taotie? The Taotie beast soldiers number in the millions, while how many female soldiers do you have?

"What's the point of their sacrifice? They're just throwing their lives away. Commander Shao, tell them to stop. Don't send them to their deaths anymore."

"Yes, cease the zipline attack!" Commander Shao immediately gave the order.

"Stop the grappling hook attack!"

Upon hearing the order, the female soldiers of the Crane Army retreated from the platform. The remaining female soldiers of the Crane Army stood on the city wall with relief on their faces. It was impossible for them not to be afraid when they saw that their sisters had gone and never returned, leaving no corpses behind. Under such tactics, death would not even leave a complete body, but only blood-stained rings to prove their contribution.

"I heard you have a lot of gunpowder weapons. Why not use them instead of sending them to their deaths? You should be able to produce quite a few gunpowder weapons in sixty years."

"Reporting to Immortal Li, our Shadowless Army has limited military funds, and most of them are spent on equipment and weapons."

Commander Shao looked ashamed. The court did not take the Taotie army's attack, which occurred once every sixty years, seriously. They thought the Taotie army was nothing special. After all, they had successfully defended against every attack by the Taotie army in the past two thousand years. The military pay was already meager, and there were many corrupt officials in the court. As a result, the already meager military pay was almost entirely left in the hands of the Nameless Army.

If more is allocated to the Nameless Army, less will be allocated to the court officials. Naturally, there won't be much military funding for the Nameless Army. As long as they can hold the Great Wall, it doesn't matter how many soldiers die.

"Today I'll show you the power of gunpowder weapons, and you'll understand the importance of developing them in the future."

Suddenly, a black Gatling gun appeared out of thin air in Li Qing's hand.

"Master Li, what is this?" Commander Shao looked at the strange object; the black metal gun body exuded a cold aura.

Li Qing, holding a Gatling gun in both hands, jumped off the city wall and landed steadily on the wall. He then aimed the gun at the ever-surging Taotie army and pulled the trigger.

Bang bang bang...

The Gatling gun spews blue flames from its muzzle, and bullets are constantly fired from the muzzle. The Gatling gun has a rate of fire of up to 5,000 rounds per minute.

Li Qing ignored the Gatling gun's immense recoil, unleashing a barrage of bullets upon the Taotie army like a metallic storm. Each bullet that struck a Taotie shattered its body; the Taotie beasts' powerful physiques and hard shells were like paper before the Gatling gun, and the few that survived were rendered immobile.

Hundreds of Taotie at the forefront died instantly, and wherever the bullets swept, there were Taotie limbs scattered everywhere, with green blood splattering all over the sky.

Commander Shao and several generals on the city wall were stunned by the power of the Gatling gun, their eyes wide open. The Shadowless Army on the city wall were also stunned by its power, and their attacking movements stopped.

"What power this is! In such a short time, it has wiped out such a large number of Taotie. If our army had such weapons, we could have slaughtered the Taotie army without leaving a single survivor. Killing the Taotie Beast King would only be a matter of time."

Commander Shao's eyes burned with desire as he looked at the Gatling gun in Li Qing's hand.

"The commander is right. If our army had weapons like these, would we have to fear the Taotie attacking the city? We could even directly storm Gouwu Mountain."

"What a terrifying weapon,"

"Didn't Master Li just say that he wanted us to witness the power of gunpowder weapons? Does that mean this weapon is powered by gunpowder?" Wang Junshi recalled what Li Qing had just said and immediately realized the key point.

......

Li Qin had traveled through several worlds, but she had never had such a thrill as today. Watching the Taotie beast soldiers fall one after another, she felt extremely satisfied.

As one Taotie beast soldier after another fell, their corpses piled up like mountains, forming a wall of flesh and blood that blocked their path. But this wall of flesh and blood only held off the Taotie army for a moment before they surged over the mountain of corpses and charged toward the Great Wall.

"Master Li, some Taotie beast soldiers are about to climb the city wall."

Gatling guns alone were insufficient to deal with the million-strong Taotie army. Many Taotie broke through the metal storm and arrived at the foot of the city wall.

“I saw them. Don’t worry, they can’t get up here,” Li Qing said calmly.

The power of thunder surged out of his body and rushed forward. Wherever the thunder passed, the Taotie beast soldiers instantly froze and fell to the ground. The Taotie that were climbing upwards below the city wall also fell to the ground.

The thunderstorm stopped a hundred meters away from the Great Wall, forming a semi-circular thunder domain. The Taotie beast soldiers that entered the domain instantly broke free from the Beast King's control and remained motionless, allowing Li Qing to shoot them down.

"This method of generating lightning from the void is truly worthy of Immortal Master Li. What are you all standing there for? Why don't you kill these Taotie?"

"Yes, Commander! Attack!"

Arrows rained down on the fallen Taotie.

......

Behind the Taotie army, a pair of beastly eyes gleaming with wisdom watched Li Qing on the city wall.

A peculiar Taotie was surrounded by dozens of enormous Taotie clad in heavy armor.

It has a thick webbed head, unlike ordinary Taotie, with eyes on a ferocious face, wearing heavy armor, and a tail on its back.

This Taotie is the Taotie Beast King, and the Taotie that look like apes beside it are the Beast King's personal guards.

"Commander, that's the Beast King!" Strategist Wang pointed at the Beast King.

"Attack the Beast King! Tiger Army soldiers, attack the Beast King!" Commander Shao, gazing at the distant Taotie Beast King, gave the order to attack.

As the order was given, dozens of spiked stone balls were ignited and hurled at the Taotie Beast King. Just as they were about to hit the beast king, the Taotie Guards standing beside him instantly stepped in front of the beast king, their heads unfolding into round shields, forcefully blocking the attack.

The fireball struck the Taotie, and a cloud of smoke covered all the Taotie guards. When the smoke cleared, the Taotie guards were found to be completely unharmed.

The commander and general on the city wall were shocked. How could this be? This was their most powerful weapon, yet it couldn't break through the Taotie's defenses.

This outcome filled them with despair, and now they could only hope that Immortal Li could kill the Gluttonous Beast King.

Li Qing looked at the Taotie guards a kilometer away, turned the Gatling gun barrel around, and saw if these Taotie guards could withstand the Gatling gun's firepower.

The bullets fired relentlessly struck the Taotie guards' thick armor, sparks flying everywhere.

However, even the thickest armor couldn't withstand the firing of 5,000 bullets per minute. In less than a minute, the Taotie guards at the front were torn to pieces and died without a complete corpse.

As soon as one Taotie Guardian is killed, another Taotie Guardian fills the gap, preventing the Taotie Beast King in the center from suffering any harm.

The Taotie Beast King, surrounded by enemies, was also somewhat frightened. What kind of weapon did this human use? It was so powerful that it could even interfere with its control of the Taotie army.

The Gluttonous Beast King ordered its guards to continue holding off the attack. It assumed that Li Qing's weapon, like the fireballs used by the Nameless Order, was limited in number and would suffice to hold out for a while. The Gluttonous Beast King, of course, had no idea of ​​the power of a modern weapon like a Gatling gun. After all, even flintlock muskets were obsolete in this era, let alone Gatling guns. Furthermore, the Gluttonous Beast King was completely unaware that Li Qing's Gatling gun had unlimited ammunition.

Time passed second by second, and more than half of the Taotie Beast King's guards were killed or wounded, leaving only a dozen or so blocking the Beast King's path.
