Chapter Seventy-Three: Test Shot

In the middle of the night, Rafa finally finished two heavy wheels, and he was excited to rush to the back hall to find Felihill, but he was afraid that she would be angry, so he simply carried his sword and climbed over the wall to patrol the icefield city himself.

He was really frightened by what happened last time, it turned out that he thought that the peaceful world never existed, many people greeted him with a smile on the surface, but behind the scenes they didn't know what bad things they were doing, if you didn't be ruthless, they would be even more rampant.

After sneaking around the icefield city, Rafa found that the hidden post arranged by Kono was very clever, and there should be no fish that slipped through the net, and he only saw two people caught in the night today, but it was much less than people reported, and it seemed that the spies of Jarvis and Renault were almost cleared.

As soon as it was dawn, he immediately ran back, entered the room where the wooden wheel was kept, and found that Audrey was already inside, looking at her slightly red face, I am afraid that she did not sleep all night last night.

"Your Highness......" Audair didn't know what to do with Rafa now, and she felt that she should put on the mask so as not to show her embarrassment.

"Let's go, Audrey. ”

In order not to make the atmosphere awkward, Rafa picked up a wooden wheel and handed it to her.

"Hmm. ”

With a word of promise, she followed him with a huge wooden wheel.

Arriving at Felihill's territory, perhaps fearing the wind and snow at night, the huge howitzer was covered with a layer of linen, and the barrel of almost forty-five to fifty times the caliber protruded from the linen.

Regardless of the fact that there was no one around, Rafa and Audrey pulled the sackcloth and began to assemble the wheels, but the wheels made out of thin air were somewhat off, so Rafa had to take out the file that he had prepared and began to trim them, and it took another long time to put the two wheels on them.

Although the steel behemoth with a wooden wheel is really a bit nondescript, but it is still the same sentence, just be able to move.

Standing up and letting out a long sigh, he realized that Felicille had been standing around and watching him for a long time, and when he saw the two wooden boxes at her feet, he knew that Felicille would never let her down.

"We don't have many initiating charges, so we can only make a little bit for the time being. Felihill's hair was noticeably disheveled.

Rafa walked up to her and said earnestly, "Good work. ”

Felihill was slightly stunned, then her eyes fell on the two boxes at her feet, "Take a look." ”

The two wooden boxes were opened, and inside were shiny, art-like warheads and cartridges.

Because Lilith had cut it by magic, each spiky cannonball was as bright as a mirror, and the golden copper shell containing the fixed charge was as bright as a mirror, and Rafa's twisted and strange face was clearly reflected on it.

"Fantastic......."

Putting the warhead and cartridge together, a flawless shell was assembled, and after stroking its smooth surface without a trace of roughness, Rafa couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Do you want to test the gun here?" Phililihill knew the high elevation angle of the howitzer, and it didn't seem impossible to shoot it in the yard.

"I don't want to shatter your glass. "He wanted to just put a cannonball into the cannon and fire a shot, but he didn't want to scare the sleeping witches.

After a hasty breakfast, Rafa called some servants and began to pull the cannon out of the city lord's mansion, but the weight of the cannon seemed to be a little beyond everyone's expectations, crushing many of the floor tiles in the city lord's mansion, and Felihill could only wake up Lucy, who was still asleep, and let her cast a lighter spell on the huge cannon, and when the cannon was moved to a fixed position, it had to return to its original weight.

As a result, after casting the magic, Rafa was able to lift the entire cannon alone, and he didn't care about the surprised eyes of the people around him, and ran up to the city with the huge cannon in a puff of smoke.

When the head of Kono asked the knights to gather at the head of the city, Phililihir and others with bullets and cartridges were late, followed by Phylliel's excited Shirley and sleepy-eyed Shina, although Shirley's identity as a witch had been exposed, but the knights didn't seem to care, but they had a very good impression of her, and they were more diligent in seeing her than seeing Rafa.

Shirley is an angel, and who wouldn't want to let this little girl save their lives when they are hurt?

Lucy, still in her pajamas, hid behind Rafa, put her hand on the positional howitzer, and began to cast her magic.

"Boom!"

The howitzer made a loud bang like landing for no reason, attracting everyone's attention.

"Hey... Won't be discovered?" Hiding behind Rafa, Lucy was a little worried.

"Don't worry, it's okay even if it's exposed, you look at Shirley, everyone knows she's a witch, but everyone treats her so well. ”

"Oh......"

After Lucy finished casting her magic, Rafa began to try to push the howitzer, but the heavy cannon was no longer moving.

"Your Highness, what kind of new weapon is this?" Seeing this shiny steel guy, Captain Kono couldn't help but ask.

In fact, not only Kono, but all the knights present were very curious about this thing, because the things that His Highness Rafa had made were very useful, for example, the rifle that almost everyone had in their hands now was not only extremely powerful, but also reduced the tragic risk of having to carry a sword in the past, since it could kill the enemy from a distance, who would want to risk hitting the enemy in the face?

"You'll know right away, ahem," Rafa said, standing behind the howitzer, toward the knights, "see it all clearly, and gun handling will be a compulsory subject for the knights in the future." ”

Letting the knights stand a little, he began to tinker with his own, but fortunately he was strong and easy to handle, and he broke off the two retracted hoes, and propped them apart on the ground, just against the corner of a wall.

"It was said that it was a field artillery, but it turned out to be used to defend the city. ”

When operating the cannon, Rafa felt as if he had misplaced the cannon, it seemed that he didn't need such a large-caliber cannon to defend the city, only some small-caliber cannons were enough, and this was a world without heavy armor, ordinary knights couldn't even defend against ordinary bullets, where was there a way to deal with cannonballs?

"Forget it, I'll use it in the future during the siege. ”

Reassuring himself, he began to turn the high and low machine so that the muzzle of the gun was slightly flattened.

Then he opened the box, loaded the warhead and cartridge together in front of everyone, and held it high, "Everyone can see it clearly." ”

"Is this an extra bullet?" said some of the knights, unloading the magazine of their rifles, and comparing one of the bullets with the cannonball in Rafa's hand, and found that the two things looked almost the same except for the difference in size.

"This bullet is too big, isn't it?" the knights had all used guns, and knew that a bullet could easily penetrate a human body within eight hundred meters, and the one in His Highness Rafa's hand was so much larger than the bullet in his own hand, they were a little afraid to imagine how powerful this bullet was.

Rafa then pulled open the latch, slipped the cannonball in, quickly locked the latch, pulled out the rope attached to the blaster, and pulled it violently.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, and a flame came out of the huge muzzle, and everyone felt a shock under their feet, and their ears were a little buzzing, and they couldn't hear it clearly.

However, everyone wanted to know where the bullet went, and after being slightly stunned, they all looked into the distance.

It was a tall mangrove forest on the other side of the river, and because there were many trees, the beast did not trample it when it invaded, and the cannonball flew into the woods, and because Rafa was almost flat at the angle, the cannonball did not land immediately, but traveled through the woods.

It was as if a giant beast had rushed into the fragile sapling, and the high-speed cannonball shattered the trees along the way, then exploded on a slightly undulating hillside, sending out a cloud of white smoke mixed with snowflakes, and the snowflakes on the surrounding mangroves shook and shook off.

From a distance, broken mangroves were everywhere, and snowflakes scattered on the leaves flew up like a burst of snow mist, but in an instant, a path in the forest was violently opened.

Rafa pulled the latch, and the empty shell of the cannon barrel, which was still emitting white smoke, fell from the tail of the cannon to the ground, making a "ping-pong" crashing sound.

Captain Kono, who had seen too many "miracles", did not have much amazement, and he knew that if His Highness Rafa had ambitions in the future, no one in this world would be able to resist him.

"I'm afraid that the gates of Byron, the imperial capital, will not be able to withstand such a blow. ”

"How's Fili, isn't it good?" Rafa asked with a smile as she walked over to Filihill.

"Not bad," Philicille didn't hurt him, "but now Hedda and the others are too busy making guns and bullets to make these shells." ”

"It's okay, what Icefield City needs now is defense, and this guy is not in a hurry to mass-produce. ”

He then asked the knights to take charge of the cannon themselves, aiming with the improvised scope made by Felihill, while he and Felicille stood by and observed the problem with the cannon.

The excited knights began to grunt like Rafa, and the rumble of the cannonballs made all the knights leap and try, but there were only eight cannonballs, and Rafa himself knocked out one, and now there were only seven left, but it didn't matter, as long as someone could use it, lest there be any cannonballs in the future.

Seven waves of knights took turns to fight, and soon finished the seven shells, and as Rafa thought, the two wooden wheels he made could no longer withstand the huge recoil and gradually cracked, and it was estimated that they would completely collapse if they couldn't fight a few more times, but it didn't matter, because there were no shells to fight for the time being.

"Your Highness, if we have enough cannons, no one will dare to offend the authority of Icefield City. More than that, Kono had imagined the whistling cannonballs weaving through the enemy's cavalry.

"Who knows?" Rafa shrugged, "From the spies in Icefield City, it can be seen that Jarvis and Renault, the two idiots, will have to do something against Icefield City sooner or later. ”

"Uh......" It was the first time that Curno had heard Rafa say such a bad thing in front of Felihill, and he didn't know how to answer.

Felihill looked into the distance, "Those two idiots have a deep obsession with me, and if Freya doesn't clean them up sooner, they'll come to Icefield City." ”

"Yo, I didn't expect Miss Fili to be so honest. Rafa remembered that Felihill was supposed to be Reno's wife, and that the one named Jarvis seemed to have an interest in his sister as well.

"I thought we were always being honest with each other. ”

Felihill glanced at him and turned to leave.
