"Boom!"
The first burst of sound was one that Lu Ping'an and every other Earthling found familiar.
The spark of a hand-grenade detonating in this Otherworldly realm was so familiar, so comforting... followed by the rattle of machine-gun fire.
"It's the Red Sand Thief's alchemical weapons!"
This exclamation made the foreign group feel uneasy.
But at this time, it was not the time to hesitate.
Those who needed to find cover did so, those who needed to counterattack did so... These firearms didn't have much of an impact.
The alerted knights easily blocked the attack with their Turtle Spirit Shields.
And when the attackers showed their faces, everyone became even more unsettled.
Seven people, five local bandits and two red sand thieves from the Foreign Domain, attacked with both swords and firearms.
"Wait, we are..."
Someone tried to communicate, only to be interrupted by even more intense gunfire the next moment.
