806 new shells
Even the largest flagships vibrated slightly with the sound of the cannons - after all, the larger hull was more stable, but the number of guns carried in the cabin would also be greater.
Even veteran sailors like Roswich and Gerak were unsteady on their feet in the successive shocks; The only one who can maintain a steady dìng is only Dai Lin? Proudmoore and Anne? Bonn too.
"Give me the binoculars!"
Annie? Bonn took two steps forward, came to the side of the ship, and said loudly as he snatched his telescope from Gerak's hand, not fearing that he would fall into the endless sea beneath the ship, but held the telescope and looked towards the city of King Gilneis.
The royal city of Gilneth was built near the sea, because there was no need to worry about an enemy attacking from the sea, so they only built a few watchtowers on the city walls, and did not garrison a large army.
Many of the shells that flew from the ship to the royal city of Gilneth fell into the sea; However, a significant number of them also hit the target.
Annie? Bonn saw with his own eyes a round iron bullet hit the southern wall of the royal city of Gilneth - the brick wall collapsed as fragile as loess, leaving a large hole.
Other iron bullets hit some of the tall buildings here - because it was relatively safe, many nobles and ministers built their estates here; Unexpectedly, these manors, which had been built with a lot of effort, became a shooting range for the Alliance Navy to test new weapons.
"It doesn't feel like it's much use...... Maybe hitting the hull of the ship has no small damage, but ...... The lethality to the buildings on the shore is too small; And. If iron armor was attached to the outside of the ship, these shells lost their power. ”
Annie? Bonn put down the binoculars, but shook his head and commented - obviously. This new weapon did not satisfy the commodore general.
"You're right, Brigadier General Anne, but...... It's just the lowest-level iron bullet, and I've heard that this time the gnomes are planning to implement new ammunition. ”
Dalein? Prodmore wasn't very pleased with the power of the bullet, but he was expecting new weapons from the dwarves and gnomes.
……
"Be careful! This thing is going to explode! ”
Just in Dalin? In the cabin of the Proudmoor flagship, the dwarf craftsman mechanic continued to shout.
A dozen human sailors were laboriously carrying several large boxes to the sides of the guns at the side of the ship's cabin, and carefully pulled out some round iron balls from them.
These orbs look indistinguishable from the ones that have just been fired. But the dwarf was right, this thing was going to explode, and there was nothing wrong with it. It will be the sailors themselves who will die.
This is the new weapon that the gnomes intend to use in this war - these little men who like to study and invent hide in Nomorigan's real yàn room and invent a lot of new things.
But the gnomes did not have a navy - they were located completely out of touch with the sea, and there was no opportunity to experiment with these gadgets invented for naval warfare.
But now the opportunity has come, so this time. The gnome craftsmen were all excited.
……
Another salvo. Annie? Although Bonn did not have much hope, he still held a telescope and observed the royal city of Gilness.
Suddenly, the commodore froze for a moment, removed his telescope from his eyes, blinked, and then hurriedly re-observed.
This time, Annie? Bonn saw more clearly - the iron bullets hit the target, but did not destroy the target like the iron bullets just now. Instead, the moment it made contact with the target, it exploded violently.
The explosion produced a loud noise and a fire that could be seen even from afar; Those flames ignited the aristocratic estates in the southern part of the royal city of Gilneth. The force of the explosion razed the walls to the ground.
"What is this?"
Annie? Bonn lowered his binoculars and looked at Dahlin in amazement? Proudmoore - this new weapon, and Annie? Bonn's previous expectations were exactly what they had hoped for!
"Like the iron bullets, they are the ammunition needed for the 'cannons', but the iron bullets are a species that has been eliminated. This new type of ammunition is not solid, but filled with gunpowder, which will explode in the event of a violent collision with the target, destroying enemy armies and buildings. ”
Dalein? Prodmore looked at Annie? Bonn, smiling, replied—of course he knew what the munitions were—or the admiral wouldn't have let the gnomes bring such a dangerous thing on his ship.
"They fly farther!"
Annie? Bonn picked up her binoculars once again and looked towards the city of Gilness, where she found that the flames were not limited to the southern part of the city, but also in some parts of the city centre, which had apparently been affected by the explosion of the munitions.
"Yes, Brigadier General Anne. Because these munitions are filled with gunpowder, they are lighter and have a longer range; I heard that the gnomes were planning to add other refills to these ammo to different effects. ”
Dalein? Prodmore explained.
"Anything else?"
Annie? Bonn asked, somewhat confused.
"For example, put some poisonous agents in it, so that when it explodes, it will produce poison; Put some iron nails and steel balls, and when they explode, they can effectively kill and injure enemy soldiers...... In short, you never know what crazy thoughts are going on in these guys' heads. ”
Dalein? Prodmore said with a smile.
"Why don't I know this?"
Annie? Bonn but not with Dahlin? Prodmore laughed together, but asked with a frown.
"What?"
Dalein? Prodmore didn't expect Annie? Bonn's face changed suddenly, and he didn't react for a moment.
"I mean, why don't I know that, and only you know? Are you deliberately hiding it from me? ”
Annie? Bonn's turquoise eyes narrowed into a slit, and he asked Dalin unceremoniously? Proudmore Drive.
"Of course not, it's just ...... Commodore Anne you stay on your ship all the time, so ......"
Dalein? Proudmore said with a wry smile - he knew he couldn't communicate with the pirate-turned-commodore in a friendly way.
"Next time, you can write something like this on a piece of paper and send someone to me; His Royal Highness Prince Alsace has given me command of Lordaeron's navy, not to make me deaf or blind here. ”
Annie? Bonn is viciously threatening Daelin on the side? Prodmoor, while raising the telescope again, looked towards the already panicked King Gilneth City. (To be continued......)
