Chapter 265 Darren: My cannon is thirsty!



"Hey? What are they doing?"

Lydia was the first one to run down from the airship. What she saw was thousands of people kneeling and kowtowing to her. She was stunned for a moment.

After hearing everyone's shouts, Lydia's face was a little strange. It turned out that she was the messenger of God. How could she not know? Behind her, soldiers wearing fine leather armor and holding muskets also walked down from the airship one after another.

After several months of special training and fighting with monsters, these people no longer look like new recruits, and each of them is filled with a murderous aura.

Although Redel did not make a fuss like the miners and thought it was a gift from God, he was still shocked to see dozens of airships appear out of thin air in the valley with thousands of people coming down from them.

Naturally, Lin En attached great importance to the Musketeers' debut. He brought here almost all the airships manufactured in the workshop, including the batch that was originally promised to the Parliament. A total of seventy ships were gathered just to transfer the entire Musketeers and Artillery Team from Yieta to here in one go.

The reason for such a terrifying carrying capacity is thanks to the alchemists who solidified magic such as "Wind Whisper" and "Lightness" on these airships, which greatly improved the carrying capacity of these things.

This is also why it only takes one day to travel from Yieta to the Kingdom of Hadrata, but Lin En asked Redel to delay for ten days, just to wait for these airships to be modified.

In addition, Philip and others who were responsible for the production of the airship also came.

However, they were not here to help, but to test the performance of the weapons. Only in a real battlefield could the advantages and disadvantages of this new weapon be tested.

Darren led a group of halflings to carry down the new artillery, and then asked impatiently, "Where are our enemies? Where are they? Where are they?"

His cannon is thirsty!

The airship came from the opposite direction of the imperial army, so they did not collide directly.

"There is a cavalry team guarding outside the valley, about one or two kilometers away from here... As for the army led by the Grand Duke, there is no sign of them yet." Redel explained.

"No, they are already here, and they will be here in about half an hour!" Philip said very seriously, and put down a cylindrical object in his hand. This is a telescope made using the principle of glass convex and concave lenses. They also added an eagle eye technique to the outermost lens, which can see very far away.

It is much more powerful than the alchemical eyepiece invented by the Alchemy Association.

I heard that Dean Lin En is also planning to build a larger astronomical telescope that can clearly see distant galaxies.

"Where?" This time it was Redel and others' turn to be confused.

Philip smiled and handed over the telescope.

Redel took it and after asking how to use it, he placed the cylindrical object to his eyes. In an instant, his vision seemed to have crossed a distance of tens of millions of meters, and he could even directly see the mottled patterns on a tree.

Redel sighed in his heart. Having experienced many wars in the dream world, he certainly understood how important it was to have the ability to observe the movements of distant enemies at any time.

After adjusting his mood, Redel turned his head and began searching, and soon found his target.

In the far distance, flags of various shapes with family crests printed on them were flying in the sky. More than 10,000 soldiers were marching in a line, and the long swords in their hands and the crossbows on their waists were shining coldly under the sunlight.

Tens of thousands of people were overwhelming, not to mention these fully armed elites. No noble in the Kingdom of Hadrata could possibly have so many armored soldiers, but this expedition had gathered the private soldiers of more than 20 nobles, each with hundreds or thousands of people, to form this large army.

Redel, who was observing from a distance, felt a chill in his heart. Although there were also tens of thousands of people on their side, they were standing sparsely, and even the weapons in their hands were not in order. The power of the two sides could not be compared at all, and they would be defeated at the first sight.

The only thing they could rely on was this reinforcement that appeared out of nowhere. Redel looked at the musketeers in front of him, especially the strange long sticks they held in their hands. He paused for a long time, thinking, this thing should not be as effective as their hoes for hitting? And there were only 3,500 people. It was still unknown whether they could fight against the regular army of the kingdom. In comparison, Redel was more concerned about the 70 behemoths in the valley. Perhaps this was the killer of the wizard.

"Can the artillery hit the target at this distance?" Philip asked.

"It's too far. It's better to be within one kilometer so that the accuracy will be higher." Darren responded after thinking. Although Dean Lin En asked them to make a cannon that can hit two or three kilometers away, this idea is still just a design drawing so far.

"In that case, it won't be too late to wait for them to launch the attack, which will prevent them from running away." Philip nodded, and then ordered the wizard apprentices to start adjusting the artillery.

The others also took action. Lydia and others returned to the airship, activated the polarization magic, and rose into the sky. The musketeers quickly loaded lead bullets to ensure that they could fire the first bullet immediately during the battle.

On the other side, Duke Rickman led his army out of the valley. After receiving the report from the cavalry, he shook his head with a sneer.

Although these people hid in the valley and could rely on the terrain for defense, they also blocked their retreat.

This is simply courting death.

Just as Rickman was about to rush into the valley to start a massacre, he was surprised to find that Redl had led his men out of the valley. The miners were dressed in rags, holding long knives, broad axes, hoes and mining drafts in their hands, and they lined up reluctantly.

Seeing this scene, the nobles present all laughed out loud. Joyce's face was extremely ugly. He had already felt the mocking gazes of the crowd. He was so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into. He was actually beaten by such an army and fled in fear.

"We'd better be careful. If the other party dares to come out in such an unfavorable situation, they must have something to rely on!" Archbishop Nord suddenly reminded.

Before he went with the army, the cardinal warned him that the riot of the miners in the southern part of the kingdom was too strange and might be related to wizards...
