Chapter 695 Artillery Test
The carriage towing the cannon rolled over the rocks, but the body of the carriage did not move at all, which shows how heavy the cannon is.
"Is this the cannon that the adults are talking about?"
"What kind of thing needs so many people to protect it."

Grandma Verance looked confused. Since she came to the Night Territory, she has seen a lot of new things and has become more and more curious about her own baron.
"What new stuff have you come up with this time?" Little Sun yawned, "I hope it's more interesting."
"I designed the artillery."
Field smiled and said, "If nothing goes wrong, the battle against Earl Svarro will rely on artillery."
"Huh? Why don't we use the corrupted legion? We can easily defeat the enemy."
Little Fat Dragon was not convinced: "Don't be so gentle, corrupt all the way to the Griffin Empire and capture your shitty queen. Give birth to a baby. If you don't agree, help her get pregnant. Give birth to a dozen children and make her a good wife and mother."
"It's better to corrupt the entire empire. The army will never be used up."
Hearing this, Field couldn't help laughing. This little Fat Dragon is really a talent.
"What's the difference between this and inviting foreign enemies into the pass, haha, I don't want to be the Lich King."
Theoretically feasible, corruption snowballs very quickly.
But countless history tells us that if we rely on brutality and blood to gain power, it will be quickly taken away by brutality and blood. If you slaughter the city crazily, you will become a pawn of disaster, spread corruption, and attract siege from all forces.
Ask yourself, if you are an ordinary person, you will definitely not follow a lord whose subordinates are all cannibal demons and who relies on slaughter to gain power.
"The main reason is that most of the people in the Griffin Empire will become my subjects. And I have the confidence to conquer them and bring them peace and prosperity."
Seeing that Opheli's mouth was about to pout, Field cleared his throat.
"Of course, I'm not a rigid fool. Corruption will be useful, but this time it is not suitable to leave the North."
"If the corrupt army is exposed now, I'm afraid it will unite the Queen and the Grand Duke of Gem."
Opheli shook his waterfall-like long hair, crossed his legs, and thought: "What you said is really unexpected."
"My lord, the two test cannons have been set up."
This twelve-pound cannon is terrifyingly heavy due to its double-layer casting. In the past, it could only be set up on the city wall as a fixed artillery.
But here, it has a gun carriage and wheels, can be pulled by horses, and has strong field combat capabilities. The wheels of the gun carriage alone are more than half a person tall.
The black gun body exudes a metallic texture, and the heavy gun body is reassuring.
Another 18-pound artillery is even more exaggerated, almost as long as a person, but the 18-pound cannon can only be used as a fixed artillery for the time being.
"This, this is the secret weapon of the pagans!"
Unexpectedly, the artillery scared Charlotte: "The gate of our Purple Gold Empire's capital was blasted open by this."
Field was shocked, could there be a colleague?
"Is it like this too?"
Charlotte shivered: "Well... No, it's made of crystal, much bigger than this, and fired a burning boulder, the magic fluctuations are very scary."
"It sounds like a magic weapon, how many are there? What's the range?"
"There are three, about 700 to 800 meters."
Field breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that they are not in the same line of business, but the combat power of the pagans should not be underestimated. They have been moving westward, and all the countries along the way have been destroyed.
"My artillery is different from the pagans. Besides, there is no need to fear the weapon."
Field patted Charlotte's head: "The user is the key."
"Yeah." Charlotte nodded obediently.
"Okay, get ready for the test shot." Field took two poles and stepped forward to test it himself.
"My Lord, this thing is too dangerous."
The little fox quickly blocked in front of him and pushed Field's belly: "If you are not careful, you will blow someone away. Let me do it."
"Don't be afraid. It's such a historic moment. I must do it."
Field's hands are itchy. When he was a child, he only set off fireworks and firecrackers, and he has never played with real cannons. As a man, how can he control himself?
For safety reasons, ordinary granular gunpowder is used.
First, use a pig hair brush to clean the barrel twice, stuff 2.5 pounds of gunpowder, and penetrate a large iron ball from the muzzle. After compacting it. Use a drill rod to pierce the gunpowder bag and stuff it in the powder twist.
"Back off, further away. And you, Rosaria, don't put your head in the gun hole!"
Field drove away the people around him again and again.
Confirming that everyone was in a safe position, the soldiers hid behind the bunker, and Field struck the flint twice to ignite the powder twist.
Excitedly running back a dozen steps, Field half squatted and raised his shield.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, when everyone was still confused.
A flash of fire.
"Boom!" Thunder exploded.
The earth trembled violently, and countless corpses were disturbed. The soldiers around them immediately exclaimed "Wow" and their ears buzzed.
A large cloud of white smoke rose, and the black shells streaked through the air, falling into the tide of corpses like a rotten tree.
Blood mist sprayed, and a large number of corpses suddenly fell and twisted at the landing point, and their limbs flew. The shells bounced several times in the tide of corpses, and one bombardment killed 17 or 18 corpses, and a large number of corpses were crippled.
"Goddess, come again..."
The Chosen Ones were all shocked.
"Long live the Lord!"
The soldiers knelt down in fear. In their opinion, such a powerful weapon must be a divine weapon. If their own baron could create a divine weapon, he must be the spokesperson of God.
Thinking of the rumor that Field was not attacked by the disaster, the soldiers already thought that their own baron was a god-like existence on the spot.
"Excellent weapon."
"It will definitely shine on the battlefield."
Xiao Feilong and Vilanser are knowledgeable, and they look at things from completely different angles.
Everyone was in high spirits. Field asked the Chosen One and several officers to test it twice and record the data.
Magic gunpowder was also tried, and the power and speed were 20% greater, but it would not add magic to the shells.
"It seems that magic gunpowder needs to be improved." Field pinched the gunpowder, looked at it for a moment, and sighed, "It would be great if the shells had magical effects."
At this time, Pure White, who was in a daze in the Viscount's territory, was startled by the sound of artillery fire.
Pure White came to the border with great interest, hiding and wondering what Field and the others were doing.
"My Lord, let me try to add more Fire Demon Cores."
"Be careful."
The little fox couldn't help it, she also wanted to experiment. After getting Field's permission, she immediately tried it herself.
After doing the same steps, the little fox added three times the gunpowder, and also added a large amount of Fire Demon Core powder, and excitedly ignited the medicine twist.
The medicine twist actually "whoosh~" and burned to the bottom in the blink of an eye.
"Huh?"
The little fox was stunned, and her eyes widened.
