Chapter 350 Passages and Traps

"This is an ancient musket brought from the East. It is said to be one of the most advanced weapons at that time." Su Chen said, pointing to an exquisitely carved musket.

"This is a high-explosive grenade. It is extremely powerful, enough to destroy an entire area." He picked up a grenade and carefully showed it to everyone.

The nobles listened attentively, full of curiosity and admiration for these weapons. Count Roland also walked to a row of spears and examined them carefully: "The craftsmanship of these spears is very exquisite. It can be seen that you put a lot of thought into it."

"These weapons are not only our powerful weapons against monsters, but also our guarantee to protect our homeland." Su Chen said, his tone full of determination.

Just as the nobles were immersed in the atmosphere of appreciating weapons, a young servant hurried in with an anxious look on his face. The battle was extremely fierce, and the monsters were extremely ferocious. There was a red light flashing in their eyes, as if they wanted to devour everything. Su Chen waved the long sword in his hand and rushed to the front line. Each of his strikes was full of power and precision. He could feel the trust and dependence of the warriors around him, and this feeling made him more determined.

Suddenly, a huge monster pounced on Su Chen, and its sharp claws drew a cold light in the air. Su Chen quickly dodged sideways and stabbed the monster's abdomen with his backhand. The monster screamed miserably, struggled a few times, and fell to the ground.

"Mr. Su Chen, be careful!" Count Roland shouted from behind, pointing to the other side.

Su Chen looked back and saw several more monsters rushing towards them. He quickly instructed the soldiers around him: "Concentrate your firepower and protect yourself!"

The soldiers raised their weapons and fired at the monsters. Gunshots rang out, and bullets streaked in the air, hitting the monsters' vital points accurately. The monsters fell one after another, but more monsters still emerged from the depths of the forest.

"We must hold this line of defense!" Su Chen shouted loudly to boost morale.

The soldiers were in high spirits, knowing that this battle was not only about their own lives but also about the safety of the entire town. They were fearless and bravely fought the monsters.

The battle lasted all night, and when the first rays of morning light illuminated the earth, the last monster finally fell. Su Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked around, seeing that although his warriors were exhausted, everyone had a smile of victory on their faces.

"We won!" Earl Carlton shouted excitedly, and other nobles also cheered.

Su Chen felt weak, but he was extremely satisfied. He knew, "Where did you get all these?" Count Roland asked curiously, with a glimmer of inquiry in his eyes.

"I imported these from ports in other cities." Su Chen replied with a hint of pride in his tone. He knew that being able to impress these nobles was an important step in building trust.

Count Roland nodded, with a hint of appreciation on his face: "You really have a good eye to find so many treasures. Your efforts have brought us great help."

Su Chen smiled and responded: "It is my responsibility to protect our homeland. I am willing to give everything as long as it can increase our strength."

Other nobles also expressed their agreement, and their admiration for Su Chen was beyond words. At this moment, Su Chen felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment. He knew that he had taken root in this world and won everyone's trust.

"Mr. Su Chen," Earl Carlton said, "What should we do next? How can we completely eliminate the threat of monsters?"

Su Chen thought for a moment and replied, "We need to find the source of the monsters and understand why they appear so frequently. Only by thoroughly understanding their origins can we solve the problem fundamentally."

Count Roland nodded in agreement: "You are right. We cannot rely solely on defense. Taking the initiative is the best defense."

Su Chen continued, "I suggest sending an elite reconnaissance team deep into the forest to find the monster's lair. At the same time, we must also strengthen the town's defenses to ensure the safety of the residents."

The nobles nodded one after another, full of confidence and expectation for Su Chen's plan. Count Roland immediately arranged for personnel to prepare for the departure of the reconnaissance team.

"Mr. Suchen," said Earl Carlton, "I am willing to lead this reconnaissance team to explore the monster's lair."

Su Chen nodded: "Your courage is admirable. But this mission is very dangerous. I hope you can bring the best equipment and the most elite soldiers."

Earl Carlton smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will be careful and live up to everyone's expectations."

That night, the reconnaissance team gathered in the town square, and everyone was well-equipped and ready to go. Su Chen walked up to Earl Carlton and shook his hand: "Good luck to you."

Earl Carlton nodded firmly: "Thank you, we will definitely find the monster's lair and bring back important information for everyone."

The reconnaissance team quietly set out under the cover of night. Su Chen stood on the city wall and watched them leave. His heart was filled with mixed emotions, both worry and hope. He knew that this reconnaissance mission was crucial to them and would determine whether they could completely resolve the threat of the monsters.

In the next few days, Su Chen and Count Roland strengthened the town's defenses, organized and trained soldiers, and ensured that every resident was prepared for emergencies. Although everyone was nervously waiting for news from the reconnaissance team, they still maintained high morale and firm confidence.

Finally, on a sunny morning, the reconnaissance team returned safely. They brought back important information and maps, and recorded in detail the location and situation of the monster's lair. Earl Carlton reported with a serious expression: "The monster's lair is located in a hidden cave deep in the forest, which is full of complex passages and traps."

Su Chen carefully examined the map, frowning: "It seems that we must carefully plan this operation to ensure that we hit the target with one strike."

Count Roland nodded in agreement: "We must gather all our strength to completely destroy the monster's lair."

Su Chen quickly formulated a detailed battle plan. He divided the team into several groups, each responsible for different tasks, one group was responsible for frontal attack, another group was responsible for flanking, and another group was responsible for protecting the rear and ensuring the safety of everyone.

"This operation is very dangerous," Su Chen said to everyone, "but we must succeed. As long as we work together, we will be able to completely eliminate these monsters and protect our home."

Everyone is full of determination and confidence.
