Chapter Forty-Eight: If One Shot Doesn't Work, Then Another Shot
Carey was supposed to set off with Roy, but since Sylvie's second gun would take a day, he stayed behind and joined Roy with the two guns when it was completely completed.
Originally, it was planned to build only one cannon, but Sylvie overfulfilled the task, and when it was almost done, she delayed it again.
A day later, after confirming that it was finished, Carey called Pierre and escorted the two guns to Fort Whiteeagle.
"Actually, just attacking a small city-state, one cannon is enough, but I'm curious, these firearms really didn't you steal from the Star Spirit Kingdom?"
When Pierre saw the artillery and the muskets, he seriously doubted that he had believed the wrong person.
These are all weapons that the Star Spirit does not spread, and even the church with many alchemists has not fully studied it.
"No, you are caused by pure gunpowder, but I use source stones, and the mechanism is different. ”
Carey paused, then added, "Your Majesty really built two acid plants?"
"Hmm...... I don't quite understand you, but I did hear that Mistress Tilly did say that he had built two workshops for making gunpowder. ”
Carey didn't inquire deeply, maybe others didn't know how difficult it was to build two industrial two acids, but he knew, at least at the moment, he didn't have a clue at all, and gunpowder was also a very tight thing.
If it weren't for the temporary replacement of the active stone, even if the gun was made, it would not be able to fire.
"Miss Sylvie's ability is really strong, a cannon is so perfect, it is rare to see this quality in the Star Spirit. ”
Carey was a little reluctant to answer, and after a few days of contact, Pierre seemed to have put down that skillful set of polite words and became a lot more casual, but he was still a star spirit when he opened and closed his mouth, and his ears were calloused when he heard it.
After a few days of making up for it with Sylvie, he also improved by leaps and bounds in the use of the Flame Source Text. But Sylvie is even more terrifying, and as she masters the flames, so does her forging skills.
It seems that this kind of pleasant mutual academic research will have to be carried out again in the future.
In the afternoon
When Carey and his party hurried to their feet, they finally saw Roy and his party stationed in an open area.
Roy greeted a few people gently, then lifted the sackcloth and revealed a swarthy cannon in front of everyone.
"This is what you call a cannon that can destroy the walls with one shot?"
Roy's palm rubbed against the surface of the cannon, and the cold metallic texture came from his fingertips, making it hard to imagine how it could be powerful.
"If one shot doesn't work, then another shot. Carey smiled and didn't explain much.
Many times the language does not come to terms with the reality of the experience.
He himself has only felt that kind of shock from TV, and it is the first time he has experienced it in reality.
"Where's Taylor? That kid should probably like to shout for a try. Carey looked around, but didn't find Taylor, and asked suspiciously.
Roy looked up at the time: "It should be soon, I'll let them clear the traps ahead." ”
As it approached evening, Taylor's face was covered in blood, and he was tightly strapped to the long-barreled airsoft that Carey had given him, and he carried a large sword on his shoulder.
Behind him were two White Eagle Fort guards who were escorted by guards.
"They did set up an ambush on both sides, wanting to use the rolling stones, but I didn't expect to be touched behind by us, one of them still wanted to run, and a sword was cut by me, and I brought these two back, how to deal with it?"
"Do you know what Baron Cliff's plans are?" Roy asked, crouching down.
"Phew, what plan do you want to deal with you cowards, our adults will lead people to charge, and none of you will be able to escape!"
Roy wiped the blood from his face, didn't care very much, and said with a smile: "Forget it, since we can't ask anything, it will take a little more manpower to take care of them, so let them help us keep a vigil tonight." ”
"Tie them to a tree and remember to lick a fire for them, it's still a little cold at night. ”
At night in the wilderness, there are three taboos in the night, no sound, no fire, and no blood.
Breaking any of them will attract a large number of sieges from the Lost.
Some of the guards in the camp unconsciously showed a trace of horror and unbearability on their faces.
Not long after, Iter also escorted a few people back to the camp, he held a musket in his hand, and said with some excitement: "My lord, they are not ready, we will all lie down after firing a few shots, it is too strong!"
The guards behind him are also full of excitement, as long as they stand far away, they can kill the enemy, the speed is faster than the bow and arrow, the power is stronger than the bow and arrow, the distance is also very far, and it is easy to carry, which greatly ensures the survival rate.
Carey silently glanced at those who were captured, and sighed slightly in his heart, but this is war, there is no good or bad, only strong and weak.
"Leave a team of people to keep vigil tonight to prevent the people of White Eagle Fort from raiding at night, especially to watch out for suspicious people approaching. ”
Roy stretched, took Carey, Taylor, and It, into his tent, and began to reorganize the situation.
"Now that we've cleared this area, they shouldn't be stupid and waste manpower in ambushes on both sides. ”
"Here,"
Roy again pointed to a spot very close to the White Eagle Castle and said, "The White Eagle Castle is built on an island in the middle of the lake, and the only way to the city is controlled by them, I think they will definitely bombard us with trebuchets first, and then his knights will charge and kill as many of our people as possible." ”
"But the trebuchets should have a very limited distance and it would be difficult to move, so I think they would start bombing us as soon as we got out of the forest and catch us off guard, or when we got into the forest, they would just burn the whole forest and trap us inside. ”
"If Sylvie is here, it wouldn't be a problem. "Carey immediately thought of the scene where she domesticated the flames.
"She's not willing to go to war, that's her principle, there's no if," Roy smiled and said, "Since this forest makes us uncomfortable, let's cut them down."
When we get here tomorrow, we cut down the trees, knowing that we're just putting pressure on them to cut off the route.
They had to live on the food stored in the city, while we had time. ”
"If they want to take advantage of the support of their villages, we will not be able to do it on both sides. Taylor frowned and objected.
"Of course, after we have slowly cleared this area, with his temperament, I think it is absolutely impossible to let us surround us, force them to come out and fight us, and repel them, which does not require artillery support, and can be transported here first. ”
Roy swiped his finger across the map.
"Since this is the place where they can ambush, it is also ours.
If their reinforcements had appeared in our rear and bombarded them, I think the peasants would have fled.
For the rest, just go to a team of people to repel them. ”
After saying this, Roy said to Carey, "I'll leave it to you after that, it only takes half an hour to get from here to Kos Village." ”
"After saving people, you're leaving?" Taylor said in a slightly raised tone.
"Then it depends on Cliff's attitude, it's all here, what do you say?" Roy clapped his hands to break the quiet atmosphere and said, "Okay, so be it, this time the results went smoothly and somewhat unexpectedly. ”
"It's all thanks to Carey's alchemy items......"
