Chapter 362: Chapter 360: The Hand Grenade Shows Its Power for the First Time
While Lin Yi was tender-hearted on his part,
Outside that city wall, as soon as that group of barbarians left, a batch of black-clad men departed from the place as well.
These people were not the team dispatched by Lin Yi, but truly the subordinates of the Sixth Prince.
The reason these people headed out was self-explanatory; their goal was to take care of those barbarians.
At present, the Sixth Prince had also come to realize what he feared most was their dealings being exposed.
Should the Emperor learn of his agreement with the barbarians, the next moment would spell disaster for him.
The most crucial matter was to kill and silence everyone; all those alive must be ruthlessly eliminated.
Only by doing so could he continue to sit securely in his current position.
What he didn’t know was that the moment this team set out, their movements were already detected by the Shadow Guard.
And a fast horse had already passed the message on to the team Lin Yi had dispatched; upon receiving the news, they too felt a hint of surprise.
Thus, the barbarians’ team galloped all the way, not daring to pause for an instant.
After running day and night, they finally found a desolate temple in the wild mountains to rest.
However, what they could never have expected was that the temple was already brimming with lethal ambushes.
These barbarians, now completely exhausted, didn’t notice it at all.
As they all entered the temple, suddenly, all its doors were swiftly shut.
Then, as they got up in panic attempting to flee, several dull objects were tossed in through the high windows.
Upon seeing these objects, the barbarians were first taken aback, wondering who had trapped them.
Why not shoot arrows or set fire to them, but instead pelt stones at them?
Was this merely someone’s prank?
However, as they were contemplating this, before the thought could vanish from their minds,
Suddenly, those dull objects burst into a flash of intense light.
Followed by a deafening explosion right next to their ears.
In the next instant, their vision blurred, pain seared through them, and they lost consciousness.
Indeed, these were none other than the Hand Grenades invented by Lin Yi.
And this team happened to be the one Lin Yi had arranged here.
As soon as the barbarians entered the temple, they sealed the doors at once and threw in the Hand Grenades.
At this moment, they were no longer stingy with the grenades, nor did they fear the news of this device spreading.
After all, they had already scouted the surroundings thoroughly; there really wouldn’t be anyone else around.
As for the team sent by the Sixth Prince, they were still 30 miles away.
After all, that team was not like these men, who were racing after their lives and fleeing desperately; those men were evidently more akin to idlers.
Come nightfall, their first thought wasn’t how to pursue the enemy; on the contrary, it was to find a place to stop and rest as soon as possible.
Perhaps this is the kind of team the Sixth Prince brings out.
For such a force, the Nanshan Guards could only say that it was incapable of achieving greatness.
Back to the temple, following the first round of dozens of grenades thrown inside, the barbarians were sent tumbling and flipping through the air.
The hundred or so men were largely killed or injured instantly, the rest as bewildered as idiots.
They even forgot to dodge or flee.
Standing there dumbfounded, watching everything unfold around them, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
They didn’t understand why this was happening; could these be Divine Thunder sent down by the heavens?
Otherwise, how could such power be unleashed?
Moreover, their companions lying gruesomely around them spoke volumes, even those still standing were covered in wounds.
Even this sudden disaster left everyone dumbstruck on spot, forgetting to howl or cry out in pain.
Something called fear slowly welled up from the depths of their hearts, scaring them so much that they dared not even breathe too heavily, worried that the slightest movement might incur the wrath of Divine beings.
However, with such an atmosphere, as everyone stood frozen in place, the windows high above rustled again.
Then, more of those black objects were thrown in, even quickly rolling towards their feet.
Bending down to look at the black object, some individuals, as if possessed, bent down to pick it up and held it before their eyes, planning to take a closer look.
But the next moment, the objects in their hands exploded instantly; their vision lit up, and then there was no more movement.
It could be said that after three rounds of Hand Grenades, the temple plunged into total silence.
Of course, if one were closer, there would be whimpers to be heard.
Those outside, dressed in strange attire, glanced at each other upon hearing the noise, and nodded.
Drawing long Tang Blades from their waists, they cavalierly opened the temple’s doors.
However, the very next moment, after they rushed in, they quickly retreated.
Some even began vomiting spontaneously on the spot.
Indeed, though tough they were through current practice, this scene before their eyes was unprecedented for them.
The hellish scene made each and every one of them feel an intense wave of nausea.
It made all of them experience a sensation of discomfort.
Even the squad leader leading the team turned quite pale in the face.
Standing at the doorway, unwilling to step further inside.
“General Lin’s Hand Grenades are simply too formidable, this is just too cruel.
Not even a single body left intact.”
As he said this, he couldn’t help but feel another surge of nausea, causing him to retch again.
This retching lasted for nearly half an hour before subsiding.
The squad leader, gritting his teeth and stamping his foot, waved his hand at the men:
But as soon as these words were spoken, despite feeling largely nauseated and apprehensive, none of them halted their steps.
