Armor-Piercing Munition: Face Me, Carbon-Based Monster!

"What the hell is this thing..."

The Forbidden Army Leader looked at the giant device flashing lights in front of him, his mind overflowing with questions.

Just moments before, he had tentatively kicked the huge device twice. Although it didn't cause any substantial damage, the frequency of the lights flashing on the device did change.

He didn't understand the significance of this change either, but considering the strange armor worn by the monster lying on the ground, along with the attribute filled with "Electric Divine Power" which he couldn't comprehend, he realized clearly that this device must be crucial.

Moreover, it's closely linked with the Beast Tide.

So, could this be the tool the humanoid monster used to control the Beast Tide?

The Forbidden Army Leader easily made a judgment, and by now, he began to regret his previous reckless actions.

"I should have known not to kill him!"

"This person might be a mutated Terror Demon or something similar!"

"If we could have captured him alive, we might have been able to get some useful information out of him!"

Upon hearing his words, Zhang Chao, standing beside him, shook his head and said:

"You can't say that."

"The situation was very urgent back then, and there was no time to think."

"Besides, the monster was actually very strong. Judging by its power, if it weren't for our element of surprise, we probably would have died at its hands."

"Now is not the time to regret----we need to decide quickly."

"Should we destroy this thing or find a way to take it back with us?"

As he finished speaking, the Forbidden Army Leader frowned deeply.

This wasn't a decision that could be made easily.

Firstly and foremost, they had to confirm the effect of this equipment.

Thinking of this, he asked:

"What's the situation on the western shore of Qili Lake at the front?"

"We've already taken down the monster controlling the device, has the Beast Tide been affected?"

"I can't tell."

Zhang Chao shook his head and said:

"From observation through the binoculars, the battle over there is still in chaos."

"However, compared to before, there are indeed some signs of the Beast Tide being 'out of control.'"

"The other brothers defending the western shore have already successfully retreated to the steamship."

"They have artillery cover from the eastern defense line, so they should be able to retreat safely."

"The pursuit from those monsters... is different from before."

"It doesn't seem to be as... goal-oriented?"

"That's right!"

The Forbidden Army Leader let out a long breath.

"This set of equipment must be used to control the Beast Tide!"

"Now that the monster controlling the Beast Tide is dead, the Beast Tide has lost command, but because this equipment exists, they are still restrained."

"We must destroy the device. Once we destroy the device, the Beast Tide will collapse immediately!"

As he spoke, the Forbidden Army Leader took out the last remaining grenade from his waist, seemingly ready to pull the pin.

But at that moment, Liu Hao suddenly stepped forward, blocking in front of him.

"You can't be so reckless!"

Liu Hao said solemnly:

"The Beast Tide is not just this one! The threat we face is not just this time!"

"If we can discover this equipment, it's either a blessing from the Holy Trinity or we've used up all our luck in this lifetime!"

"It's not only the key to destroying the Beast Tide but could potentially be the key to completely eliminating the monsters in the future!"

"We are not qualified to deal with this equipment. At the very least, we should take it to the Holy Hall to let the Saint and the bishops decide after seeing it!"

"We don't have time!"

The Forbidden Army Leader's expression was exceedingly serious.

"Our brothers on the Qili Lake defense line are engaged in a bloody battle. If we don't quickly decide and destroy this crucial equipment, even a leaderless Beast Tide is enough to swallow them up."

"But as long as we destroy this equipment, the Beast Tide will certainly collapse..."

"What makes you say that?"

Liu Hao interrupted the Forbidden Army Leader once again, and then he spoke solemnly:

"Even if you are my superior, I do not agree with you making such a rash decision!"

"Don't you understand? This is about the future of humanity!"

"If I don't destroy it, the Divine Sect won't have a future!"

The Forbidden Army Leader shouted in anger:

"Wake up! Stop being blindly obstinate!"

"I understand your loyalty to the Holy Hall, but now is not the time to rigidly follow orders!"

"We need to adapt to the situation, which is a basic requirement for a soldier!"

"I've said it before, we have no time left!"

"Even if the Holy Hall can unlock the secrets of this equipment, it would be too late for us!"

"Time! Time is the most critical thing!"

"To put it bluntly, even the Holy Hall doesn't have the ability to analyze this equipment. The premise you're talking about simply doesn't exist!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Hao fell silent.

The Forbidden Army Leader brushed past his shoulder, heading towards the device still flashing with a faint blue indicator light, and pulled the pin of the grenade.

"Stand back, I'm going to blow this thing up."

He took a deep breath and placed the grenade on the side of the device.

From here on, all he needed to do was release it, and the grenade would explode in a few seconds, inevitably destroying the device.

However, just as he released it, someone suddenly picked up the grenade and hurled it into the distance.

"Boom!"

The explosion rang out, and the Forbidden Army Leader turned back in anger, but what he saw was not Liu Hao's face.

It was Zhang Chao.

"I think Liu Hao is right."

"Our brothers can still hold on, but if the monsters aren't completely eliminated, humanity will never be able to live in peace."
