Bang!

Like an enormous dragon breaking out of the sea, the massive ballista bolt howled through the air toward the distant scaled Behemoth. This ballista bolt bore the hopes of countless people, and even the fleeing mercenaries of the Western Regions couldn't help but turn their heads and look to the ballista bolt with eyes brimming with hope.

Several dozen zhang of distance flashed by: fifty zhang, thirty zhang, ten zhang…

Time slowed to an interminable crawl as the distance between the ballista bolt and the scaled Behemoth grew smaller and smaller. Seven zhang, six zhang… boom! The ballista bolt collided against the head of the scaled Behemoth.

Awooooo!

The moment the ballista bolt struck, the scaled Behemoth reeled back, its two front limbs rising off the ground as it threw its head back and let out a mournful howl. Its already weakened vitality was once more struck by disaster, another large part of it being shorn away.

Cheers immediately shook the skies. The nearly one hundred thousand soldiers were invigorated by this sight.

”Wonderful!”

”It worked! The giant ballista really worked against that monster!!”

The morale of the army was given a massive boost, none being happier than Chen Bin and his ballista soldiers. They had succeeded! The giant ballista that Wang Chong and Zhang Shouzhi had designed together had truly worked against the Behemoth! The moment this giant ballista first appeared in this world, it had instantly displayed an unimaginable power.

That single ballista bolt had also given an unprecedented shock to the Tibetans, Turks, and Arabs watching from the distance.

”What was that? When did the Great Tang get its hands on such a formidable weapon?”

Huoshu Huicang's eyes were twitching, that ballista bolt protruding from the Behemoth's head causing mighty waves to rage in his mind. He was a Great General of many years and had exchanged blows with Zhangchou Jianqiong no small number of times, as well as interacted with several other Tang Great Generals, but he had never encountered a weapon like this.

The Behemoth Army of the Arabian Empire was already surprising enough, but Huoshu Huicang was even more stunned by the fact that the Great Tang actually had a terrifying weapon that could deal with these Behemoths.

Although the Behemoths were terrifying, they were hardly as scary if the Great Tang could mass-produce this kind of weapon.

On the contrary, a Great Tang that could create weapons effective against these Behemoths was far more deserving of his fear and apprehension.

”How could this be! When did the Great Tang become capable of standing against the Arabs!”

Duwu Sili was still the most shocked of their group. As a spectator to this entire battle, he had been closely watching everything that was going on. When the Behemoth had knocked Wang Chong flying, Duwu Sili had believed that the battle was settled and that all that was waiting for the Great Tang was the crushing of its fortifications and complete destruction of its army.

To his surprise, the enormous ballista bolt the Great Tang had used had been able to heavily wound the Behemoth. What had been a clear conclusion had all of a sudden become complicated and confusing.

”Bastards! Just what is going on!”
