Chapter 31: Watch me stop!

As soon as Lloyd's words fell, everyone present was shocked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

If President Smith was "frightened" when he saw so many terrorists before, now he is in a state of "heart death" in which "mourning is greater than heart death".

Fortress cannons are also called train cannons or other names.

These are two strategic weapons designed by the Reich Ryanford Society.

Regarding the barrel, there is a consensus that "the larger the barrel, the more powerful". However, the thicker the barrel, the greater the recoil force to be borne when firing the shell, so the main gun fire of an ordinary tank gun with a distance of ten miles (ten centimeters, about 100 millimeters) is sufficient.

So, what is a fortress cannon?

It's just a whim.

The researchers didn't design the barrel too thick in order to prevent the recoil from disassembling the vehicle - so wouldn't it be better not to use the tank? What if something that is subjected to recoil, abandons the ability to move, and goes from a "unit" to a "building"?

As a result, two giant cannons were developed to integrate with the Garelian fortress. The direction pointed to Cross Bell, and the meaning was clear, deterrence by force. These two magnificent cannons, the muzzles alone can accommodate three or four people to enjoy the cold, and the power can be imagined.

This cannon was ordered at a time when the Empire and the Republic were fighting for Crossbell, and was intended to warn the Republicans: "If you take Crossbell, then be careful of my fortress cannon." "At the same time, it is also to intimidate the people of Crossbell, if they try to rebel against the Empire, this cannon will still be aimed at Crossbell.

Its power, conservatively estimated, is enough to turn half of Crossbell into ruins, not to mention hundreds of thousands of people, plus because of the joint efforts of Ilya and Vita and the completion of the Orchid Tower, countless foreigners have poured in, which has greatly increased the population density of Crossbell......

This shell ...... Let's not say millions of people will die......

That's why Lloyd said that there were shells, but no one fled in panic.

There is no way to avoid it.

Everyone is above the 40th floor of the Orchid Tower, and it takes about three minutes just to go downstairs. And that's not even counting the crowding. So how long does it take for the shells to fly? About half a minute. What is the explosion range? Probably half of Cross Bell.

Oh! Could anyone have escaped from Crossbell in half a minute?

It's impossible.

You Tatsumi can't do that. So instead of fleeing in panic, it is better to die with dignity.

"Erebonia!!"

Noelle, who rushed in with Lloyd, couldn't contain her anger, and even though she knew that her life was going to die, she couldn't forgive the damned country that aimed her guns at Crossbell.

Even though she knew that she represented the identity of a soldier and the image of Crossbell, this righteous girl still rushed forward in one step, and before Rector and Miriam could react, she slapped the iron-blooded prime minister in the face with a backhand.

Syllable!

For the first time, the hard-boiled politician showed an embarrassed look, and although his expression was still tough, the red palm prints on his face made his fortitude look particularly funny.

"What?! Let's evacuate! ”

Lloyd was in a hurry, and seeing that everyone had an expression of no desire to escape, Lloyd's heart was full of disgust.

In his heart, it is one thing whether he can escape or not, but whether he can escape or not is another. If you stay here, you will definitely die, and if you escape, you may survive......

Why, choose death!

"Now, I said......"

Faced with Lloyd's unquenchable rage, Ranster scratched his hair, and his clothes were largely scrapped because of a fight with Musser. Lloyd only noticed at this time that he was wearing a rare white shirt today, really like an ordinary civil servant, but now the clothes have been torn into strips, like a circus clown, funny.

"It's just a cannonball, is it necessary to be so afraid?"

He asked rhetorically in a strange tone.

"What?!"

"As long as the shell is fired, just break the shell first~"

He said something unspeakable at random.

"Can that be done?!"

"Of course! Do you think that my family's logistics minister (referring to Dior, who worked as a logistics officer in the Scarlet Scorpion) eats dry food? I'm very responsible to tell you that he eats bread! ”

No, no, no one is fighting you for this!

Lloyd was on the verge of crying. Are so many political dignitaries and so many lives about to fall today?

"Hey, Dior~"

In the face of Lloyd's urgency, Lancet was still unhurried, he took out Anigema and dialed Dior.

"Huh? The fortress cannon has been fired? Oh, no need to stop, no need to stop. If you just shoot it in mid-air, I won't be able to pretend to be forced! No, it's the request of my life, let me stop him! Isn't it just a cannonball? This force me to pretend! ”

He said to the other side relaxedly, giggling and laughing, as if he didn't realize that it was a predicament at all.

If you think about it carefully, will everyone's composure be a kind of trust?

Trust in the bodyguards of the Karumon consortium.

Advertising this kind of thing, if the person who sees the ad dies, then there is no point. So, they believe this, the Karumen consortium will save them?!

Lloyd couldn't understand that the excessive panic made him lose his ability to calm down.

Gradually, on the shattered glass façade of the Orchid Tower, a black cannonball could already be seen flying over.

At first, it was just a black spot, but in less than half a minute, it had spread to the size of a person.

The size of the cannonball alone was about the size of a room, and the spherical cannonball quickly hit the outer wall of the Orchid Tower.

Rumble!

After a loud bang, the ear instantly lost hearing. The world fell silent.

The human ear, if it receives too strong a shock, will "lose its function" for a short time, which is a kind of self-protection. If the sound is too loud and directly breaks the eardrum, then it is not a "short time".

Lloyd involuntarily rushed forward against the cannonball, his two-handed whirlpool in front of him, and he had already launched the Patronus mode, hoping that his whirlpool could be worthy of "Karumen".

The expected shock did not come.

Lloyd opened his eyes weakly, and was immediately frightened by the scenery in front of him.

That's the "explosion".

Red, orange, white, charred black, all kinds of eye colors are mixed together, unpredictable. At first glance, you can see that the extremely hot mass air gives people the feeling of "this is the fire of the explosion".

But...... And that's not all.

What is really shocking is ......

It's not dynamic......

It's as if it was stopped by some supernatural force.

The explosion froze. The firelight is like a three-dimensional image painted by an artist with a brush, beautiful and atmospheric, but it is not lethal or dynamic, and it just stops in front of everyone.

And Lancet leaned back in one hand to support the spark of the explosion.

"Look, I'll just say it! Don't worry! Isn't it just a cannonball? ”

On his face, the smile was like a flower, but Lloyd's heart was like falling into an ice cellar.

"You...... What did you do! (To be continued.) )
