Chapter 722: Brilliant Brilliance

According to Roland's plan, once the shelling started, it would not stop. ??

First, five rounds of volleys smashed the first row of twenty or so evil beasts into powder, and then it was time for free shooting, using the quick fire of empty ammunition, combined with the detonation of black powder, to create the momentum of thousands of cannons roaring.

Therefore, when the sound of shooting continued, the atmosphere at the scene ushered in a new wave. The smoke and dirt from the explosion continued, and the area 500 meters away seemed to be doomsday. Occasionally, a cage was crushed by flying stones, and the first reaction of the moving evil beast in the cage was not to rush towards the city wall, but to turn around and flee backwards.

Fear overcame their bloodthirsty instincts.

It's just that very few slip through the net to escape this dead land.

Swept by the strong shock waves from the ground, their internal organs have long been ruptured and displaced, and their eardrums and eyeballs have lost their sensory functions. Engulfed by explosives.

"It's nothing, you haven't seen the war with the church before," Andrea covered her ears and proudly said loudly to the stunned wolf-hearted witches, "Although there were only two cannons at that time, There are also hundreds of muskets and smaller iron cannons. The opponents are not caged evil beasts, but the swift and powerful God's Punishment Army. When the fight was at its most intense, the entire open space They are projectiles flying horizontally, and as long as they show their heads, they will die. Compared with this, it is called a real war."

"Yes, is that so..." Amy was shocked.

"No wonder they lost," the hero lamented, "it's simply not something humans can resist."

"Are you not scared at all when you see such a scene?" Broken Sword looked at Andrea in admiration.

Taking advantage of the gap between the explosions, the latter gracefully smoothed out the fluttering long hair, "Of course, you will get used to it after seeing it a lot. I witnessed the entire process of the war, and even killed two God's Punishment Army with my own hands!"

She completely forgot that when she climbed the city wall for the first time, she was full of surprise and disbelief just like them, but now she felt like she regarded Neverwinter as her second home, even when talking about these weapons, There was a hint of pride in his tone.

Compared with most witches who just watched the show, Phyllis's observations were much more detailed.

When the evil beasts in the first row were blasted to pieces, she didn't pay much attention to it - the spears thrown by the madman within this distance can also threaten the soldiers on the city wall, facing the bone spears falling like a storm , even though these weapons called fortress cannons are amazingly powerful, how long can the mortals who manipulate them last?

But when the artillery fire turned to the second row of cages, her expression finally changed.

Could it be that the intention of the mortal king to arrange the evil beasts in this way is to let the explosion advance step by step? The last row of cages is almost a hundred feet away. If the fortress cannon can reach that area, it means that its range is almost equal to that of the siege beast, but its lethality is far greater than the latter!

The siege beast has always been the most troublesome devil weapon for the Federation, because its attack range is farther than any trebuchet or ballista, so every time it appears, it can only rely on the Lord Fan to lead the Holy Blessed Army to force the enemy's position, even if it succeeds Destroying the siege beast would also bring a lot of casualties. If the witches had such long-distance strike weapons, they might not be able to defend the holy city of Taquila.

Could this be the trump card of Neverwinter and the reason why Agatha has full confidence in Roland?

When she asked the ice witch the question, she just shook her head with a smile.

"Placing it at a distance of one thousand meters is just to meet the needs of the audience... because any further distance will affect the appreciation of the exercise. As for the range of the new artillery, His Majesty Roland said that it can exceed ten kilometers, which is the current ten kilometers. time." Agatha said in her ear, "In other words, it can hit places that the manipulator can't see."

ten times? Phyllis was stunned. Although she didn't quite understand the units of meters and kilometers, ten times now was nearly a thousand feet, and some devil's outposts happened to be set within this distance. Doesn't that mean that if you mount the cannon on the head of Taquila City, you can directly hit the devil's lair?

How can this be?

How can you guarantee that the weapon can hit an enemy that is far beyond the line of sight and can't even be seen?

Seeing her in a daze, Agatha continued, "However, it is not an easy task to go that far. It requires a lot of calculations and improvement of the artillery's aiming device. I heard that those astrologers are studying this work—— Your Majesty It seems to be planning to write a shooting list, which can calculate the impact point of the shell based on the data before shooting, so that even if the enemy is several kilometers away, it can accurately strike the target."

"Are you sure?" Phyllis gritted her teeth, "Doesn't that mean that as long as a few more cannons like this are built, the devil can't even get close to the city wall?"

"That's right, Your Majesty said that this style of play is called washing the ground..." Agatha shrugged, "It probably came from the meaning. Although it's a bit of a mouthful, it's quite appropriate."

"That...do you know how to make cannons?" Phyllis hesitated for a moment, and asked closely.

The latter took a deep look at her, and waited for a new round of explosions to pass before he said, "I know what you want to say, I did provide some of the materials in the shell, but it is far from one or two pieces to make it. what people can do.”

"Not even witches?"

"It's not enough... Do you know how many mortals are in the chemical plant in Neverwinter? It's close to 2,000 people, and the number is still increasing!" Agatha sighed. , oil, and gas are made into explosives. The production of artillery is a completely different system—more than 3,000 mines and smelters, and a processing plant with more than 1,500 people. Maintenance and use personnel. Even in the Taquila era, how many mortals does the federation have to drive?"

Phyllis fell silent. When Anlieta and Fallen Star City fell one after another, the human territory retreated to a corner of the plain, and the surviving population also plummeted. When Taquila remained, the mortals under the control of the federation were only about 30,000 to 40,000. However, they were responsible for supporting the battle witches, logistics, and maintaining the city's operations, so they couldn't spare so many people to make fortress cannons. If Agatha hadn't lied to her, the Taquila at that time would not have been able to do this, let alone them who were hiding in the underground labyrinth.

At this moment, the sound of cannons suddenly stopped.

The first two rows of evil beasts had completely merged with the snow, turning into puddles of indistinct flesh and blood. There was a terrifying silence around the city wall. No one spoke at the scene, they all stared at the farthest row of cages, as if waiting for something.

Phyllis looked at Agatha suspiciously, and the latter smiled at her.

"Here comes the key."

Before the words fell, a dazzling light rose from the ground, like a round of tomorrow! 8
