Li Yu: "......"
"That's...that's all?"
Li Yu muttered to herself, rubbed her eyes hard, and looked at them again carefully with disbelief on her face.
He wasn't mistaken; it really was just a visual effect.
This new feature doesn't bring any substantial improvement to the giant cannon's combat power at all; it's purely a useless facade!
Aside from creating some visual and auditory impact, it offers almost no help in actual combat.
Before Li Yu could continue examining the area, Le Gang, who was standing to the side, spoke up again to remind him:
"Li Yu, the siege beasts are here!"
As they were talking, the towering siege beast in the distance had already arrived at the battlefield ahead.
Its enormous body, like a moving mountain, truly gave people an overwhelming sense of oppression.
"So, are you confident?"
Le Gang asked tentatively, explaining that he was only letting Li Yu give it a try.
Even with new giant cannons, it is not easy to hit and defeat the siege beasts in one fell swoop.
"have!"
Li Yu answered decisively, this time with great certainty.
Now that the equipment has been successfully installed, it is certain that the cannons can be fired directly at the siege beast.
Moreover, the giant cannon uses an extremely simple operating method. Even a ten-year-old child should be able to easily master how to aim and fire the cannonballs after a little learning.
"Fire when you're ready," Le Gang said, looking at the alien beast in the distance.
Li Yu didn't stand on ceremony and went straight forward to take control, starting to adjust the angle of the giant cannon.
Seeing this, the gunner standing to the side quickly directed the artillery squad to coordinate with Li Yu at all times.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yu locked onto the approaching siege beast through the scope.
At the same time, the long-lost aiming circle the size of a washbasin reappeared in his eyes.
The towering siege beast was escorted by various other exotic beasts, all of which were covered in protective armor crafted for them by the Eternal Fire Alliance to increase their defense and allow them to successfully charge to the Great Wall with bombs, only to perish together with the towering walls.
Just then, the strange beasts responsible for escorting the siege beasts suddenly charged forward despite the heavy fire, and soon engaged in close combat with the temporarily conscripted people below the Great Wall.
A single glance reveals that these so-called conscripted people at the foot of the Great Wall are nothing more than a pitiful group of cannon fodder.
For Zhongzhou, their lives and deaths were utterly insignificant, even worthless.
Their conscription was solely to buy more time for the soldiers of Central Plains to open fire.
In the face of brutal war, lives that were already humble and insignificant become even more trivial, like candles flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
As the aiming circle in Li Yu's eyes gradually shrank, it finally locked onto the siege beast in the distance.
He snapped to attention and pushed the firing mechanism with all his might.
This was his first time using a giant cannon, and he couldn't help but feel excited. An unprecedented feeling welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but shout out.
"emission!"
"Thump—!"
The sound of cannon fire was like a thunderclap, and the soldiers on the Great Wall trembled, their bodies going numb from the loud noise.
The powerful recoil from the cannon firing caused the entire section of the Great Wall in the eastern district to shake violently.
A tremendous roar, as powerful as thunder, quickly spread, like a surging torrent, resounding throughout the entire Central Plains defense line.
The beasts that had been frantically attacking to escort the siege beasts were all stunned by the sudden, terrifying roar.
They all raised their heads in alarm, staring blankly at the direction of the Great Wall from which the sound came.
Some of the lower-level beasts were so frightened that they trembled and completely lost the courage to continue attacking.
After a loud bang, under the watchful eyes of all the soldiers on the eastern defense line.
A shell, carrying a dazzling white laser beam, like a raging white dragon, cleaved through the gray rain with overwhelming force, hurtling towards its distant target.
The speed of the shells was beyond imagination, almost beyond the reach of the naked eye, and they disappeared from people's sight in the blink of an eye.
The shell was like a lightning bolt slicing through the night sky, leaving only a white trail as it passed by.
The white light, like the trail of a shooting star, lingered in place, illuminating the entire rain-soaked battlefield.
Even the siege behemoths strong enough to withstand bullets and artillery fire were doomed before Li Yu's giant cannons.
The shell cleaved through the rain, swept across the battlefield, and struck the siege beast in the distance with perfect accuracy.
"boom--!"
With a deafening explosion, the shell shattered the moment it hit the siege beast's body.
Like dazzling iron sparks bursting forth, hundreds of streaks of light shot into the sky.
The sky, covered with dark clouds, seemed to be torn apart, and the earth trembled.
In the dazzling flames, the enormous body of the siege beast was instantly blasted into countless tiny particles. These particles quickly dispersed and disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed.
The countless other strange beasts surrounding the siege beast were also killed instantly, their internal organs shattered.
The corpses of countless strange beasts were thrown high into the air by the shockwave of the explosion, and then scattered all over the battlefield.
Right at the epicenter of the explosion, it seemed as if an invisible yet terrifying force suddenly erupted.
A large area centered on the explosion point, along with all surrounding objects and life, was instantly wiped out of the world, disappearing without a trace.
Only a shocking circular empty space was left standing out starkly before people's eyes.
Immediately afterwards, the massive shockwave from the explosion spread rapidly outwards.
Wherever this violent shockwave went, even the originally torrential rain could not withstand its power and was forcibly pushed far away.
As a result, a huge, rainless vacuum area with a diameter of several hundred meters miraculously appeared in the area surrounding the Central Plains defense line.
The rain was temporarily dispelled, and time seemed to stand still.
The soldiers on the city wall witnessed this scene and were all dumbfounded, their mouths agape in shock.
A white laser wake?
Like the thunderous roar of cannons!
It has the power of a missile.
Are their cannons in Central Plains really that powerful?
