The emergence of mercury lysate and new bullets has greatly improved the power and comprehensive performance of the gun. The reference selected by Tianhao is the ancient "Mosin Nagan" rifle. As the earliest time of the emergence of smokeless powder bullets and one of the weapons with excellent comprehensive evaluation rankings, Tianhao has made modifications to the use of barbarians based on this rifle, mainly the length and caliber of the gun.

The new gun is named "Dragon Style".

The Panshi City and Leijiao City military factories built two production lines last year. Due to production and bullet supply issues, the new Dragon One type is given priority to equip the Imperial Guard Corps.

Tianhao also brought a heavy artillery brigade on this trip. It was twenty heavy artillery with a caliber of 300 mm, and the weight of the shells was amazing. In order to transport these big weapons, Tianhao used the special animal power that had been brewing for many years - the mutant triceratops. Although they were clumsy and their speed was not slow. Under the temptation of alfalfa and delicious bean cakes, they worked hard to pull the heavy artillery carts, set out from Black Point City, and came to the distant Mob Valley.

A few hours later, a checkpoint appeared on the road ahead. According to the map left by the great master and the records of tributes over the years, this is a trading area where the mob collects tributes. Further north, there is a restricted area that cannot be penetrated.

The checkpoint is a square building familiar to Tianhao. It has only one floor but is nearly ten meters high. The drone has been monitoring the uninvited army from the entrance of the valley. The mob who received the news in advance had already lined up in front of the checkpoint.

Within Tianhao's sight, there were as many as sixteen mobs. They had a similar appearance to humans, walking upright with their feet, wearing clothes and shoes, but had an extremely tall figure, which was incomparable to even the strongest pigs. The average height was more than five meters.

The mob led by the leader strode to the middle of the road, raised his hand and pointed at Tianhao who was riding on the back of the velociraptor, and issued a hoarse and unquestionable order: "Stand there and don't move. Those who cross the line without permission will die!"

There is a yellow line drawn on the ground. Although it is long and mottled, it is not difficult to distinguish. It is estimated that the mob will refresh it with paint every once in a while.

Tianhao frowned.

He could hear the mechanical synthesized sounds from the mob's mouth. It was not a natural syllable for humans, it was awkward, like stones rubbing back and forth on the surface of sand.

Tianhao took the iron microphone from the accompanying servant next to him. At the same time, he saw the expression of fear subconsciously appearing on everyone's faces, including the servant.

Many people know the forbidden zone and have even heard terrible stories about it since childhood. The great national master completely closed this area for safety reasons, and even set up left-behind people at the main intersections nearby, with a total force of more than 4,000.

Although they hold the most advanced weapons of this era and have powerful power, faith and legends ultimately occupy an important part of their minds and become the most solid obstacles in the face of faith and courage.

"I'll pay the tax." Tianhao gently pulled the reins and controlled the velociraptor to walk out of the crowd, standing outside the yellow line, staring at the mob from a high point, with contempt in his smile: "Don't you need food?"

"Now is not the time to pay taxes." There is obviously some delay between the mob's thinking and language. When the distance is closer, Tianhao can see that his face is covered with black hair, like a hairy body that extends to the entire face by a beard, only a semi-savage with a smooth nose, eyes, lips and other parts.

"The situation this year is a bit special." Tianhao smiled and threw out his already well-written draft: "Anyway, it has been shipped, so it is not easy for us to come all the way. Besides, there is not much difference between a few months earlier or later."

"Go back!" The mob stared at Tianhao with his alert eyes, his focus moving back and forth between him and the yellow line, and repeated the previous words monotonically: "Now is not the time to pay taxes."

The smile on Tianhao's face gradually disappeared, and he regained his majestic and cold tone: "I only said once: If you want it, just let it go, don't forget it. This is the food this year, don't expect me to come again in a few months."

The mob stared at him with his wooden eyes and said nothing.

"I know you're listening." Tianhao raised his left hand and pointed to the drone floating in the distance: "I know your secret."

"You" and "you" are two different words. Tianhao can be sure that there is a base that has survived from the civilization era to the present, but he does not know the specific number of remaining people in the base.

The mob stood there without moving. He seemed to be a lifeless sculpture, but Tianhao knew that this was the most obvious feature of being controlled. The other party was thinking that the mob was just a tool to convey the controller's intentions.

The only uncertainty is also the real reason why Tianhao has not taken action for it so far, which is the actual combat effectiveness and physical composition of these mobs.

After nearly two minutes, the silent mob finally opened his lips and made a sound from behind his thick beard: "You must pay taxes at the prescribed time. Also, don't come in, otherwise..."

Before he finished speaking, Tianhao had already thrown away the microphone in his hand, pulled out the rifle inserted obliquely on his back, and pointed it at the mob who was talking and pulled the trigger.

The distance was very close, and his series of actions were unexpected. In addition, the velociraptor caused the two of them to have a high and low difference. The muzzle aimed at the head of the mob from top to bottom. The thirty-mm-caliber warhead hit the target with fire and roar, blowing the entire head to pieces.

Behind him, various combat squads had already prepared rushes up, and the three of them shot and fired for a group of targets. Suddenly, the calm valley became a battlefield.

Tian Hao quickly pulled the bolt and aimed at the drone suspended in the air. The bullet that came out of the chamber hit the accurately. The flying machine tilted twice, like a drunken man, flying around with a strange sound, sliding towards the woods in the distance.

The number of mobs garrisoned at the checkpoint was not large, which was completely disproportionate to Tianhao's army. Although these transformed creatures responded flexibly and acted keenly, they were not opponents of the Dragon Soldiers who had been prepared. They were beaten up by concentrated fire, but no one retreated. Two even rushed to the front, grabbed the Dragon Soldiers who were caught off guard, and opened their mouths to bite them.

There was a preview of this situation in advance. The combat team behind them was calm and concentrated on fire to shoot the key parts of the mob's body, head and heart. Under the rifle of guns, the mob died in battle.

Tianhao jumped off the velociraptor, he pulled out the dagger and cut open the mob leader...or the captain's broken neck near his shoulder. Soon, he saw mechanical parts and fine lines connecting to the throat appearing under the cut skin, muscles, and various organ tissues.

In the long-standing civilization era, there have always been two different voices about the plan to transform people.

One is the "mechanical school", which believes that machinery is the key to changing everything, and the future of the world will surely be dominated by artificial intelligence and machinery.

One is the "biological school", which believes that human evolution and biological form transformation are the key to everything. Viruses and mitochondria are important components in this process, and thus appear in the mind, strength, reaction speed, etc., far exceed the super life of predecessors.

The "Guardian God" far away in Lock Dragon Pass is a masterpiece of the mechanical school.

Although the biology school has different ideas from the mechanical school, it is not hostile to each other and even cooperates in multiple fields. "Semi-artificial life forms" were an important research topic in that era. It was based on this that Tianhao judged that the captain of the mob was not a robot, so he shot him and killed him.

As long as it is not a robot, it is easy to deal with. Although the Dragon One Rifle is very powerful, Tianhao is not sure about dealing with the real combat robot. Even if the mob is a giant mecha sleeping in the Dragon Lock Pass, he can only order a retreat.

The basis for judgment is those drones. It transmits information simultaneously through vision and hearing, which is the basic function of mechanic warriors. Biological transformation is different. They have a brain and have the ability to judge things and events. Especially before, Tianhao deliberately asked questions, and from the speed and rhythm of the other party's answer, it can be seen that there are controllers behind these mobs. They only exist as tools and must cooperate with drones to play a role.

"The whole army attacked!"

"Run in and report it to me immediately when you find an abnormality."

"Kill all the mobs."

When we come here from the entrance of the valley, the interval between the front and back is several hours long. If you are a person who is prepared for it, you must have prepared enough defensive power in advance. If you have no hostility or the hostility state is not very strong, it will only continue the previous level of defense and will not be specially strengthened.

More than 20,000 Dragon Clan soldiers rushed into the restricted area like a tide.

They saw with their own eyes that the legendary powerful mob was shot dead by Tian Hao, and the fear in their hearts disappeared at any time.

There is nothing that cannot be killed in the face of powerful bullets.

Tianhao walked into the checkpoint and found that the "bungalow" with a floor height exceeding the normal value is simple internal structure, and it is only equipped with simple living facilities, beds, kitchens, drinking water and drainage systems, etc.

The warehouse was filled with grain, mostly flour and rice. In another warehouse located outside, Tianhao saw a large amount of cured meat and sausages hanging from the beams, as well as grease in large buckets.

Located in the field north of this house, there are many vegetables planted.

With the height and strength of the mob, it is indeed possible to tear the barbarians out of their lives, but their essence is still humans and they maintain the same living habits as barbarians.

News soon came from the front: it seemed that the real entrance to the restricted area was discovered.

Tianhao, who received the news, quickly arrived at the scene. Through the telescope, he saw a building with a height of the same as the previous checkpoint in the wilderness hundreds of meters away. The gates there were closed and hundreds of mobs gathered around it.

"Kill them all." Put down the telescope, Tianhao issued a cold order: "Pull up the heavy artillery, let the surrounding troops narrow the search range and form a warning."

After saying that, Tianhao turned around and left, and walked into the temporary tent set up on the side of the road.

With experience in the civilization era, he was almost certain that this was the secret controller.

The guy he had never met had been hiding underground and using the mob to control everything. But based on the current situation and comprehensive intelligence analysis, the other party's armed forces were actually not as strong as expected. In the era of cold weapons, height and strength were synonymous with "strong". On the premise of ensuring mystery and strangeness, as long as you have ten mobs, you can become the top ruler who makes all tribes afraid to surrender.

This is the restricted area.

How many mobs do the mysterious controller have in his hands?

This question is not important to Tianhao's opinion. Shooting the mob was a test before. If the opponent's counterattack power was too strong, Tianhao would have a back-up to deal with it. He would admit his mistake and give in and compensate the other party. Until now, there are still drones in the sky. Each team reported that the drone came from the mysterious building directly in front of him. Surveillance means that you can contact us, not to mention that from the current situation, the military power of the mysterious controller is very average.

The number of mobs shot was counting, but Tianhao estimated that it was about 500. This was very different from the records in the information of the great master. Moreover, when he was transporting grain to pay tribute last year, Tianhao specifically instructed the leader to secretly count the number of mobs and obtained the number of "no less than one thousand".

Since ascending the throne, Tianhao has sent a large number of intelligence personnel to detect the terrain around the restricted area. There is only one road in the valley here, and most of the outer edges of the north are steep mountains and difficult to climb.

With the legacy of ancestors, they are truly determined that the other party has thousands of mobs. They are extremely powerful and can tear the barbarians in half with just the strength of their hands. In a strict sense, their requirements are not excessive. As long as they get enough food... More importantly, the mobs never actively contact the outside world. While maintaining a sense of mystery, they also stabilize their strong image. Over time, tribes such as the cattle, tiger, lion, and deer are afraid of the mobs in the north and they all take the initiative to voluntarily give tributes.

There is another possibility: the number of mobs a long time ago was extremely large, but later it decreased sharply for some reason, but it still maintained a strong image on the surface, so that the northern barbarians could not make accurate judgments.

There were a few fairly complete mob corpses placed in the temporary camp, and there were two shot down drones on the ground. According to Tianhao's request, they were transported from all over the battlefield and concentrated here.

Several servants lifted a mob body onto a "table" made of stones. Tianhao opened the tool kit, took out a special scalpel, cut it along the mob's throat, and quickly took out a complete set of electronic sounding devices.

This is a very simple object, similar to a special patient special device that extends the volume from the outside against the throat. Tianhao carefully checked and found no two-way remote communicator, only one-way receiving device.

The mysterious controller obviously did not use the mob for information collection, and relied more on drones.

The servant opened the water bag and washed the blood stains on Tianhao's hands. He wiped his hands with a towel and turned around and walked to the two shot down drones.
