Chapter 1506

If Colonel George Vassar tried to send cavalry to raid the Sea Blue artillery position, he would first have to break through the forward defense line commanded by General Jumonville himself, which would be almost tantamount to suicide.

General Jumonville also considered that the opponent might send a spellcaster to directly teleport to the artillery position, or launch an attack from the air, and specially left a team of gunners patrolling with hounds on the position, all wearing "night vision" and Enchanted goggles with the "anti-stealth" function.

Such strict defensive measures still could not reassure General Jumonville, and he also appointed his chief of staff, Colonel Diego Antonioni, the "Fire Warlock" to garrison the artillery positions.

These arrangements can be said to be incomplete, but by coincidence, the timing of Joan's sneaking into the artillery position just happened to catch up with Diego Antonioni's short vacancy when he left the position.

...

"Fire Warlock" Antonioni, recently received a request for help from the hobgoblin lord Letu, and learned that Letu's goblin regiment was unfortunately washed away by floods on the way through the swamp valley, and the duck-billed dragoons led by Weiss also Take the opportunity to launch an ambush and slaughter the goblins trapped in the flood.

In addition to the lizardman, there was also a mysterious mage who also participated in the ambush last night. Even Letu himself suffered a great loss from this person and had to send a letter for help.

After reporting to General Jumonville, Antonioni received an order: to accompany the jackal Queen Alpha to teleport to Leto, and return to the artillery position as soon as possible after helping him solve his troubles.

Antonioni did do this at first, but when he arrived at the swamp valley where Letu was attacked, he passed by the mysterious mage who had caused heavy damage to the goblin army, and could only watch him teleport away.

Diego Antonioni is different from other officers. As the eldest son of Count Antonioni, Governor of the Colony of Muspelheim in the Sea Blue, although his military rank is below General Jumonville, he never feels that he is Jumonville psychologically. The general's subordinates, but treat each other as equal friends.

The moment the mysterious mage teleported away, Antonioni saw the blurred figure of the other party and felt vaguely familiar. This aroused strong curiosity, so he didn't return to his post immediately, and pulled Letu to inquire about the details of the mysterious mage. Unfortunately, he didn't Did not get any valuable information.

Alpha's personality was a little more cautious than Antonioni's, and he was worried that the time would be too long and something would happen in Delin Town, so he urged him to go back as soon as possible.

Antonioni confirmed that although Letu had suffered heavy losses, fortunately there were no hostile forces, so he took Alpha and teleported back to Delin Town.

I went back to the artillery position and patrolled around to confirm that everything was normal. With the assistance of the observers, the artillery had just completed the first round of test firing, and was correcting the shooting according to the luminous smoke column rising from the enemy's position.

Antonioni had nothing to do on the artillery position, so he escorted Alpha to the forest area north of Delin Town in a gentlemanly manner, and met with the wolf man troops stationed there.

When they arrived in the forest area, Alpha and Antonioni were all stunned.

This appalling scene made them unable to believe their eyes. After finding a wolf man leader who fled back to the back mountain from the forest area, he found out that during the time they were away, the wolf man corps that launched a night attack from the north of Delin Town encountered a group of mysterious enemies and suffered heavy casualties. Afterwards, he was forced to withdraw.

...

I don't know whether it was by accident or a prank by Goddess of Fate, Joan passed Alpha and Antonioni twice, but just in time for the short interval between them leaving the command post, they broke into the positions where the two were stationed.

Joan chose a secluded area, retracted his wings and landed on the artillery position of the sea blue people.

Before he could see the surrounding situation clearly, there was a ferocious dog barking behind him.

Joan couldn't help frowning.

It seems that there are many hounds on the artillery position of the sea blue people. Invisibility spells can't fool the hounds' sensitive noses.

After thinking for a while, Joan quickly made a spell-casting gesture, before the hounds and patrols arrived, and cast the 1st ring "Hidden Mist".

Thick fog emanated from him, filling the surrounding 20-foot space, blocking the patrol's vision.

The hound's nose was unobstructed by the fog, and the sniffers continued their search.

However, not far away, these loyal hounds gradually became sluggish, and finally turned into frozen stone statues.

In the depths of the dense fog, Joan turned into the form of the mythical cockatrice again, inspired the "power of myth", activated the "petrified aura", and quickly walked towards the area where the cannon was placed under the cover of the "hidden fog" that accompanied him. very close.

Joan has already turned on "Fog Vision", walking in the thick fog without obstructing his vision.

The patrols and artillerymen on the ground don't have such eyesight. They can't see the enemy clearly in the dense fog. They can only shoot and shoot arrows indiscriminately. The bullets and arrows were also bounced back by the magic barrier to reap the consequences.

Joan walked around the artillery position and spent a total of four "power of myth" to maintain the "petrified aura".

When Joan returned to human form, the entire artillery position had fallen into dead silence.

There was no sound of cannons or human voices, he was the only walking creature left on the ground, and the rest of the sea blue officers and soldiers, including the hounds, all turned into cold stone statues.

The interval between preparations for each round of artillery fire usually does not exceed 15 minutes.

Joan looked at his pocket watch. There was not much time left for him. He had to eliminate this threat completely before General Jumonville became alert and sent someone back to check the artillery positions.

Just turning all the artillery into petrification, Qiao An couldn't be completely relieved. He quickly ran to a cannon, extracted the "power of myth", and took a "shrinking technique"!

There were a total of eight 12-pounder field guns, often called "infantry guns", on the field.

The structure of this kind of cannon is actually very simple. The main structure of the cannon sound is a huge copper pipe, which is connected to the cannon carriage with two wheels.

The barrel of the 12-pound gun is about 66 inches long and the inner diameter is about 4.6 inches. The net weight of the gun body is about 1200 pounds. A myriad of spare parts add up to a total of 3600 lbs.

Joan obviously couldn't carry such a heavy thing with bare hands.

Fortunately, after the blessing of the "shrinking technique", the volume and weight of the cannon were reduced to 1/512 of the normal state, and it became like a toy model, weighing only 7 pounds, which is equivalent to a large watermelon.
