Chapter 239: 237: Bombardment (Subscribe)
In fact, even without Earl Wick's tip-off, Roy was ready to use the magic cannon as his trump card!
When he took over the city of Brussels, he discovered this batch of magic cannons.
Moreover, they were not those backward small cannons, but a full eighty third-generation magic cannons and twenty of the empire's most advanced fourth-generation cannons.
Among them, the third-generation guns were all produced by the empire's most authoritative arsenal. Each gun was numbered and could be traced back to every worker on the manufacturing line.
The fact that this kind of magic cannon can be used represents its excellence, it will almost never explode, and it can guarantee the continuous firing of one hundred shells.
As for the twenty fourth-generation guns, they are the most advanced technology in the empire, at least the most advanced technology disclosed.
The use of breech-loading shells and muzzle brake designs greatly reduces recoil and improves accuracy and firing speed.
When he got the news, Luo Yi almost dropped what he was doing and ran away.
After confirming that there were indeed magic cannons in the warehouse, he almost fainted from happiness.
As a part-time magic gunner, no one knows better than him how powerful these cannons can be if used well.
Of course, he still lacked a magic gunner to operate the magic cannon.
The problem was not solved until the eighty-eight magicians and mage apprentices arrived at Frostmoon Canyon in Ms. Palacios's mage tower.
Originally, according to Luo Yi's idea, these magic cannons were to be installed directly on the war fortress and on the cliffs on both sides.
Being in a commanding position, coupled with the range of the magic cannon, the result is absolutely fatal.
However, with the tip-off from Earl Wick, Lois thought about it and decided to take a step back.
A war fortress can actually be a trap.
The range of the magic cannon can cover the war fortress or even further, even from the foot of the mountain.
So, Loyi found Master Walter again and asked him to set up a magic circle that could block the search of the magic eye.
The reason why Luo Yi set up this situation was that he actually wanted to keep a hand!
Regardless of whether the information revealed by Earl Wick is true or false, as long as my magic cannon is in place, I will be invincible.
Of course, these mages and mage apprentices under Ms. Palacios are not real magic gunners, so it is difficult for them to control the magic cannon.
Therefore, the ten-day truce was extended to fifteen days by Luo Yi.
During these fifteen days, he instructed his subordinates to do all other things, except for these temporary artillerymen, who were all trained by him personally.
He even drew out some spirited and motivated people from the militia.
In addition to a magician, each cannon is equipped with two people to help load ammunition and do necessary auxiliary work.
In this way, the three of them form a team, training together, improving together, and then finalizing the entire operating process to form a combat force.
Of course, you can't expect to train a qualified artilleryman in just a short period of time. That's unrealistic!
Therefore, the positions and angles of these magic cannons were all calculated and adjusted by Luo Yi.
Until now, it has finally started to work.
When the order of Master Walter was issued and the magic cannon was activated, it fully demonstrated its terrifying power.
Boom boom boom boom!
The violent explosions sounded like continuous thunder, with flashes of fire and thick smoke.
One shell after another, trailing flames, whizzed past until they hit the war fortress.
Within a ten-meter radius from the center of the impact point, broken limbs flew everywhere, blood mist and gravel splashed everywhere. For a moment, no one knew how many people had died.
Before, the Wick family only had six cannons, and no matter how many shells were dropped, it would take time.
This gave the guardian knights and militiamen a chance to react. At least, they could hide because they were familiar with the terrain!
But now, the war fortress is crowded with people, and the soldiers of the Carlisle family are all unfamiliar with the place.
When the shells fall, there is no need to aim at the target at all. They can kill a lot of people anywhere.
The Marquis of Carlisle's order had already been given, and the howls and drums of retreat were also sounded.
But it’s useless, it’s of no use at all!
Because they were completely drowned out by the roar of the artillery fire and could not hear anything at all, and the crowded crowd foreshadowed the arrival of death.
In this bombardment, only extraordinary people have a chance to escape.
The ones who reacted the fastest were Alfonso Zec and Vincent Ackerman, who had received many instructions from Roy.
Therefore, as soon as the artillery fire fell, while other extraordinary people were still stunned, they directly left the battle circle.
The fighting spirit around Alfonso Zeke exploded and turned into a pair of bat-like wings, dragging him into the air.
Vincent Ackerman drove his mountain goat to leap onto the cliff in mid-air and continued to climb up the steep slope.
It was not until they all looked down from high in the sky that they realized the horror of dozens of magic cannons firing at full speed.
The war fortress was originally a ruin, and at this point, no intact area could be seen.
There were either large and small pits, or they were covered with blood and flesh, mixed with gravel and dust, like a huge flesh and blood millstone.
Grand Knight Alfonso Zeke even saw an extraordinary strong man being "besieged" by artillery fire.
The stealth that the night assassin was proud of was of no use under the bombardment.
He reacted a little too slowly and was overwhelmed by the overwhelming artillery shells. The only thing he could do was to release his fighting spirit as much as possible to form a protective shield.
However, he is not a knight, nor a shield guardian, he is an assassin, and his worst skill is defense.
Even though he tried his best to mobilize his fighting spirit, he was still trapped there and couldn't move at all.
At this moment, even Alfonso Zeke felt a little scared!
What horrified him was the power of the magic cannon. If there were enough of them, they could actually threaten extraordinary strong people.
This even made him feel a great crisis, and he felt that the more than ten years of cultivation were not worth it!
But there was also a strange feeling. It turned out that this was one of the reasons why Count Karl wanted to introduce magical machinery!
At the same time, below the Frost Moon Canyon.
Knights and militiamen are also waiting in the tunnels that used to be gem mines.
They held weapons in their hands, felt the ground shaking, and were terrified but also excited to try.
Because, a knight shouted at the top of his voice: "The Earl said that when the bombardment ends, it will be time for us to kill the enemy.
By then, the enemies before us will be weaklings, and we can gain military merit by simply charging forward and killing them."
This sentence echoed again and again in the tunnel, and also inspired the morale of the soldiers.
Of course, Luo Yi’s arrangements are more than that.
When the bombardment began, magical cannons were pushed out from the mountaintops on both sides of Frost Moon Canyon.
Because the space available for placement is limited, these magic cannons are placed somewhat scattered and look uneven.
But at this height, the range of their artillery fire can almost cover the entire mountain road.
So, with the sound of artillery bombardment, it was not just the Carlisle family knights and militiamen in the war fortress who were unlucky.
Even the mountain roads in the east are all covered.
The maximum artillery range can even hit the camp of Marquis Carlisle.
Who told them to build the camp too far forward?
So much so that those part-time magic apprentices were going crazy. Due to the limited magic power, they were lucky if they could perform one or two tricks.
But now, they can fully enjoy the roar and explosion of the magic cannon.
At this moment, inside the central army tent, a group of people had been standing there in a daze for a long time.
Unconsciously, the Marquis of Carlisle had already rubbed the cigar in his hand into powder, his fat face flushed red, full of ferociousness.
But it also reveals a bit of powerlessness!
"It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this!"
He suddenly turned his head and looked at the Pale Knight, saying, "Take action, take action quickly, and destroy that artillery position directly!
That's right, that's right, only by destroying that place can everything be salvaged!"
"My Scourge Knight, it's time for you to take action. Help me once, just help me once!"
The Pale Knight remained unmoved, and even his eyes turned a little colder when he looked at Marquis Carlisle.
After a pause, he said, "My Lord Marquis, you should know that we can protect your safety and even assassinate the illegitimate earl.
However, we cannot intervene directly on the battlefield. That is not what I, a Calamity, should do, and I don't want to bear the consequences of taking action!"
"Consequences? What consequences? Consequences are all bullshit! The Noble Code is only useful when I need it!
When I don’t need it, it’s just a book, some waste paper, just thrown there.”
"Now, now, we really can't delay any longer. I can't let all my knights die here!"
"It's too late!"
Another voice rang out, still from Master Timo, who was standing behind the magic mirror. He sighed and asked, "Didn't you feel it?"
"Besides the vibrations from the bombardment, what we hear beneath our feet is the trembling of thousands of horses galloping as the Knights charge?"
After he said this, the faces of several knights present changed drastically. Of course, most people couldn't tell what was special about it.
But the magic eye in the sky suddenly turned around and looked towards the east, and the image projected on the magic mirror was also constantly changing.
Until a group of knights came into everyone's sight.
Nearly a thousand knights and their attendants, wearing full sets of armor, charged forward on their warhorses. The devastating scene was enough to break anyone's heart.
Until the picture froze on the position of the leader of the knights, the young man seemed to have sensed something, looked up, grinned, and was full of sarcasm.
Even though it was just a fleeting moment, it seemed that everyone felt his provocation.
Carlisle was almost furious, his whole body turned an abnormal bright red, as if he had drunk too much high-concentration alcohol.
The whole person exuded an aura of brutality and murderousness, and even the Pale Knight changed color!
"I will not fail!"
"I still have allies. Oh, and please help me contact them."
"The Castro family, the McKinley family, and that damned Mist Pirates, I want to know their results!"
"As long as they win, I win too!"
"Yes, yes, that's right, Master Timo, please help me contact him."
The second update is here, and I’ll write the third update later!
