Chapter 721 Direct Artillery Attack

When the soldiers of the First Army climbed up to the city wall in a neat line, Felin Sylt was really surprised.

As a former star knight in the western region, he is familiar with knight training, so he naturally knows how difficult it is to keep a group of people in order while marching. Whether it is a knight or a mercenary, when the lord inspects, the number of people in a row will basically not exceed five, because the horizontal line is too long, and it is easy to stagger back and forth, and it will become a problem in the eyes of the people in the distance. It's a mess, it's really unsightly.

The more people there are, the more difficult it is to control, but the number of soldiers in this group exceeds a hundred, and there are more than a dozen people in the horizontal and vertical directions. With the uniform color clothing and the bright ribbon running diagonally across the chest, it looks like a whole moving Phalanx in general.

This visual impact made Filin feel an unstoppable momentum—once the formation can be maintained, the advantage of a large number of people will be fully reflected.

This can also be seen from the enthusiastic response of the people around us.

"Look at the third row, that's my child!"

"They walked so neatly!"

"It's almost like a person!"

"If the two armies are fighting against each other, I'm afraid the enemy will be frightened just to see this posture."

"Ha, I think it's time to run away after hearing His Majesty's name."

"What's the name of this song?"

"I don't know, but... I feel that my whole body is full of strength!"

"That's the magic effect of Miss Echo."

"It's such a pity that May couldn't see this scene with her own eyes," said Irene, holding Li Xiaochen's arm. "If it was her, she would definitely be able to reproduce this exciting scene in the drama."

"She's pregnant, so of course she can't stand on the city wall to blow the cold wind with you." Ferlin smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry, there will definitely be opportunities in the future. I bet there will only be more and more such activities in the future."

Whether it is a knight review or an artillery drill, it is a means for the lord to show his strength. The strength that Neverwinter has accumulated so far has surpassed everyone's imagination. There are still many territories that His Majesty can conquer. With such a team, it is not surprising that even the four major kingdoms will be brought under his rule by then. In order to convince people's hearts, similar displays are naturally necessary.

"Honey, do you want to join this team too?" She asked abruptly.

"What?" Li Xiaochen was stunned.

"I can feel it," Erin smiled at him, "your heart is beating so fast now."

Is that so... Feilin spit out his breath, so it turned out that, even if his father hadn't said those words at the time, he probably wouldn't have been a teacher for the rest of his life.

Sir Sirt was right. If he really liked books so much, he would not have decided to become a knight in the first place, and he would have made it to the extreme and become a household name.

The military is the best place for him.

He wants to follow the First Army, become His Majesty's sharp sword, fight everywhere, and expand the kingdom's territory to an unprecedented level.

Although His Majesty once said that the knights who surrendered will no longer have the opportunity to take up arms, but according to my father, there are other ways to join the First Army.

I don't know what your Majesty's staff department has developed into now?

He watched the artillerymen entering the shooting position, as if seeing himself in the future.

...

The music stopped.

This is an instruction to prepare to shoot.

Vanner gave the order to aim at the target.

The six fortress guns placed on the widened area of ​​the city wall dropped their barrels one after another, pointing directly at the cage three hundred meters away—within this distance, the shells hardly fell, but flew towards the target in a straight line. Since the body of the evil beast may not be able to trigger the fuze, the aim of the gun muzzle should be lower, trying to shoot the shell into the snow under the cage.

"Hey, this guy is really ugly," Nelson whistled. The artillery crew in charge of him aimed at a large wolf bear species. The cage shook endlessly.

"Be serious," Faner frowned, "This is not a normal training, everyone is watching us."

"I feel a little nervous," Cat's Claw's voice was slightly stiff, "Being stared at by so many people, I want to pee..."

This remark aroused the sympathy of many people.

"Yeah, it's even more uncomfortable than facing the charge of the Duke's Knights back then."

"If you miss, you will be laughed at by the whole city."

"Just do what you did before, and stop talking nonsense!" Faner glared at the cat's claw, "Remember not to confuse live ammunition with headless ammunition. When something goes wrong, just wait for confinement. Now, pretend bomb!"

After entering the loading process, the scene immediately became busy. Regardless of their mood, the long-term training has made all of them memorize their movements, and they can complete the operation even with their eyes closed.

Compared with the 12-pound field gun, the loading process of the 152mm fortress gun was much faster. After all six guns were ready, the countdown sound of the iron ax came from the top of the city.

"Ten, nine, eight..."

The noise of the audience also stopped abruptly, as if they were all waiting for the moment when the fire and thunder burst out from the muzzle.

But Fan Na's heart was unexpectedly calm. Looking at the wildly roaring evil beast in the cage, he thought of his younger brother who died in his arms due to hunger and cold four years ago, thought of practicing day and night to eat an extra egg, and thought of holding a spear Spears, the days of bloody battles with evil beasts on the masonry walls.

The changes that have taken place in the past few years are vivid.

"Five, four, three..."

He was originally just an ordinary miner in the old neighborhood of Border Town. It wasn't until His Majesty said that that he made up his mind to stay in the militia and fight to defend His Majesty's territory from evil beasts. But even so, he didn't expect to get to where he is today.

Vanner secretly turned his head and looked at the gray-haired man in the distance——Roland Wimbledon was the reason why his mind was as calm as water. As long as His Majesty stood behind him, no matter what kind of enemy he was facing, he Neither will take a step back.

"...two, one! Fire!"

"Fire!"

Vanner swung his arm violently.

The six fortress guns sprayed out long flames and blue smoke at the same time. The huge roar turned the snow on the wall into flying white mist. The distance of 300 meters almost passed by in the blink of an eye. When people heard the deafening shelling sound At that time, the shell had already landed in front of the hybrid evil beast.

The compressed fuze triggered the double-base gunpowder in the warhead, and six pillars of mud rose up in the snow in an instant, tearing the wooden cage to pieces—the seemingly solid body of the evil beast was like a piece of paper in front of the rampaging air waves, and the wood Debris mixed with steaming flesh and blood rushed into the sky, intestines and severed limbs were scattered everywhere.

Fanatical cheers erupted from the crowd.
