Chapter 286: Metal Storm (Subscribe)
The headquarters of the Lion Knights,
Inside the parade ground.
As soon as Luo Yi's voice fell, some knights were dissatisfied.
The 'Mountain' Harlan Carson stood up, stiffened his neck, and said with a red face, "My Lord Earl, you are the great Lion King, but you should not slander the way of chivalry.
We knights offer our loyalty and courage, defending the feudal lord's rule with sword and blood. We rise and fall together!"
What he said was quite skillful. It expressed his dissatisfaction without making Luo Yi feel disgusted.
This big guy is not a pure reckless man; he is more measured than Alan Wells.
Luo Yi did not get angry, but raised his head slightly and looked at Knight Harlan for a moment.
He shifted his gaze again and looked around, as if staring at every knight.
Finally, he walked up to the podium and said, "You should have heard about the war between the Habsburg Empire and the Bonaparte Empire decades ago.
The Habsburg Empire used new magical firearms, dense formations, and three-stage continuous shooting to directly put an end to a knight order of the Bonaparte Empire.
Most of the famous and powerful knights were killed or wounded, and even when the Bonaparte Empire was rebuilt in the later period, it was unable to recover.
"Since that battle, the Habsburg Empire has risen to prominence, and no one dares to underestimate it anymore. Magical firearms and cannons have entered the public eye and are highly sought after!"
Tanya Anderson, the third-rank knight, took a step forward. This strong, almost feminine female knight said in a resentful tone, "So, Lord Earl, is saying that we knights are outdated?"
"I admit that the knights of the Bonaparte Empire were defeated, but the knights of the Old World, if not tens of thousands, must have numbered in the hundreds.
Why should we lose the glory and reputation that we knights have spent thousands of years building just by losing one match? "
"Why? My Lord, tell me why?"
This female knight had a dull personality and was usually quiet, but at this moment, her words were extremely sharp.
Luo Yi raised his head slightly and looked at the female knight. After a moment of silence, he said, "You are right. Knights have spent thousands of years to build glory and reputation, but the problem is that over the past thousands of years, they have reached their peak!
Decades ago, the magical firearms used by the Habsburg Empire on the battlefield were only the second generation, and the magical cannons were only the third generation.
But now, the Imperial Hunting is already equipped with a third-generation magic rifle, which has spiral rifling, can be quickly loaded with bullets, and has a range of up to seven or eight hundred meters.
The magic cannon has already reached the fourth generation, and the shells it fires can accurately strike targets several miles away."
"One remains unchanged, the other keeps improving. What do you think?"
Seeing that there was another commotion, Luo Yi raised his hand again to suppress it: "Of course, I know that no one will believe me even if I say it without any evidence.
So, today, I have gathered you here so that you can see it with your own eyes.”
Having said this, Luo Yi looked at Butler Hoover beside him and nodded slightly.
Butler Hoover responded and immediately jumped off the platform. After a while, he returned with a group of people.
These people are composed of magic apprentices and knight squires.
There were more than a dozen knights and squires, all of whom were strong and powerful. They formed teams of three or four and carried human-shaped wooden stakes.
The wooden stakes were all carved from iron and wood, making them extremely hard, but even so, they were still covered with a full set of knight's plate armor.
There are also breastplates, helmets, arm guards, leg armor, iron gloves, etc.
Some people even saw that the knights' servants put on a layer of leather armor inside, with chain mail in the middle and knight armor at the end.
Judging from the defense alone, even a third-level shield guardian, coupled with the release of fighting spirit, is no more than this.
Of course, this is not the most eye-catching thing.
All the knights gathered their gazes and saw a group of mechanic apprentices pushing out magical weapons.
You said it was a magic cannon, but the barrel isn't that thick.
But if you say it is a magical firearm, it has two wheels on the left and right, and is pushed out like a cart.
Two or three mechanic apprentices were struggling to push it forward.
Although the mage apprentices were not very strong, it was obvious that the magic weapon was not light in weight.
This time, three strange-looking magical guns were pushed out and pushed to the center of the training ground.
Directly opposite them, two hundred meters away, were a dozen or so human-shaped ironwood knight targets standing upright.
Luo Yi jumped down from the platform and walked to the side of these magical guns. He reached out and touched the cold metal texture and felt the bumps and depressions of the magic patterns.
On the side, several mechanic apprentices were also busy.
They locked the wheels, fixed the support frame, took out the bullet box, removed the belt, and inserted the magazine...
These people were not professional magic gunners. Although they were proficient in machinery, their movements seemed a bit clumsy, flustered and confused.
And all the knights naturally gathered here.
Grand Knight Thor Dean is the oldest of the Lion Knights, with gray hair on his temples. He is known for his loyalty and reliability.
In the Order of the Lion, although Alfonso Zeke is the chief knight, that is more based on his youth and vigor.
Moreover, standing behind him was the Iron Knight Phil Zeke.
But the most beloved one is still the Great Knight Commander Thor.
He looked at the magical firearm so close to him and could feel its coldness and murderousness, as if he saw blood and death.
He couldn't help but ask, "My Lord Earl, what is this?"
"Maxim heavy machine gun, designed by me and manufactured by Imperial mechanic Christina Becker.
What you see now was completed a month ago, and I'm afraid some legions in the empire have already begun to equip them."
As he said this, Luo Yi had already stood in front of a heavy machine gun. He stepped on the support frame with one foot and knelt on one knee.
Holding the handle with both hands and inputting magic power, the magic patterns extending from the handle light up little by little.
It was like a beautiful flower blooming, until it climbed onto all the gun barrels, and then connected back and forth until it penetrated into the two huge moonstone magic crystals.
"Everyone, look carefully, this is the real metal storm!"
Luo Yi pulled the bolt, raised the barrel, and pointed it at the human-shaped target 200 meters away.
Then, he pulled the trigger without hesitation!
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
The sound of gunfire rang out like popping beans, one after another. Bullet casings jumped out, drew a trajectory in the air, and fell to the ground.
Moreover, the magic energy was disordered, and the four elements of 'earth, fire, wind and water' lost their balance, thus rapidly expanding. The pervasive smell of gunpowder irritated the nerves.
Luo Yi pressed down the jumping heavy machine gun with force, allowing the powerful reaction force to rush through his fingers, but he still kept it under his tight control.
The flames spewing out of the muzzle, after a brief period of confusion, began to accurately find their target.
Two hundred meters away, the upright human-shaped target was nailed into the ground, firmly enough.
But at this moment, accompanied by the sound of "ding ding dang dang", the iron and wooden target and the triple armor were all shaking violently.
There were also sparks flying everywhere, and "wounds" that were pierced and torn appeared one after another, and they became more and more dense.
On the side, the knights were stunned!
Even the most cunning knights felt at this moment that the bullets were not only hitting the human targets, but also hitting their hearts.
It seemed like a long time had passed, but in reality, in continuous fire mode, six hundred bullets were fired in one minute.
Although the ammunition belt is very long, it does not last long.
It was not until he heard the "click, click, click" sound that Luo Yi realized that the bullet was empty, so he stopped pulling the trigger.
But even so, the knights still didn't come back to their senses for a long time!
The knights all have excellent physical fitness and sharp eyesight. When the smoke clears, they can see more clearly than anyone else.
Those dozen or so human-shaped targets, even with their knight plate armor, were riddled with holes.
Even if the front can still remain intact, the limbs and head have been shattered to pieces.
Moreover, there were only a few targets still standing, and most of them were lying down.
Luo Yi changed the magazine himself, but still felt that it was not enough.
So he asked loudly: "Alfonso Zeke, Sol Dean, Vincent Adol, where are the three Grand Knights?"
"exist!"
Almost instinctively, the three of them stood out from the crowd.
Luo Yi continued, "Hold the thickest tower shield, stand 200 meters away, release your fighting spirit, and use the strongest defense to resist the heavy machine gun fire."
As the order was given, Loyi activated the [Lion King] almost simultaneously. Strange power radiated outwards, integrating the many knights into one whole.
At this moment, the three Grand Knights understood what Loy meant, and they said without hesitation: "Yes!"
So, the three of them jumped up, found three tower shields as quickly as possible, and landed two hundred meters away.
The fighting spirit burst out like a flame, and then condensed on the shield.
The three tower shields merged into one, and the three people's bodies shrank directly under the shields, but Luo Yi still felt it was not enough.
With a thought, the fighting spirit gathered and condensed outside the tower shield, turning into a real fighting spirit shield!
It was Luo Yi's extraordinary fighting skill, Iron Wall!
At this moment, Luo Yi pulled the trigger again.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
The machine gun spewed out flames again, and bullets fell like rain, hitting the shield directly. The collision of fighting spirit and metal, the ping-pong sound, seemed endless.
At this moment, the feelings of the three extraordinary knights were transmitted through the power of the [Lion King], allowing all the knights to feel it clearly.
It was as if countless hammer blows were falling, carrying bone-penetrating rotation and drilling force, passing along the shields to their bodies.
Even though they were extraordinary, even though they had amazing physiques, they could only feel countless forces penetrating into their bodies, causing them to tremble.
However, a heavy machine gun posed a limited threat to them after all. But Luo Yi only needed to give a look, and the mechanic apprentices on both sides started to move.
Although they were not as strong as Loy, they were not very good at controlling the heavy machine guns and could not suppress the flying bullets.
But even so, the concentrated fire from the three heavy machine guns still made the three extraordinary knights look ugly and their faces changed drastically.
After firing another empty magazine, Loy finally stopped.
In the thick smoke, his voice seemed to come from far away, yet it resounded in the ears of all the knights.
"Did you see it? Did you feel it?"
"This is just the concentrated fire of three heavy machine guns. The metal storm they set off is enough to suppress a Tier 3 Transcendent, rendering them unable to move. But what if dozens or even hundreds of heavy machine guns wreak havoc on the battlefield?"
"Knights, is there still a way to survive?"
"That's what I mean. Knights are a product of the times that will soon be eliminated!"
At this moment, Loy's voice was like a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of every knight.
They all had pale faces and dull expressions!
Here is the second update, I will work hard on the third update!
